WordPress Development & Creative Technology for Enterprise & Agencies
I’m an independent WordPress Developer and Creative Technologist based in Margate, UK.
My WordPress sites are fast, maintainable, and ready for AI-driven search.
My Creative Technology work is innovative, accessible, and award-winning.
Bespoke WordPress Development
Using the latest WordPress features and enterprise tooling, I transform your designs into production-ready code with block themes, block editor customisations, Tailwind CSS, testing, and CI/CD.
Block Themes & Tailwind
Block themes built with theme.json and Tailwind CSS. Clean, semantic HTML based on design systems for maintainable utility-first styling.
Custom Blocks in React
Using React and TypeScript, I provide rich editing experiences with bespoke blocks to streamline content editing in the WordPress Block Editor.
Automated Testing
Unit tests in PHPUnit and end-to-end tests in Playwright/Cypress catch regressions before they reach production. Visual regression testing, accessibility checks, code quality checks are run in GitHub Actions pipelines to ensure reliability.
WP-CLI
Custom WP-CLI scripts make light work of complex, repetitive tasks including content sync, reporting, and database migrations across multiple environments.
Stu’s deep knowledge of WordPress and web design was evident in the way he approached every challenge; always with a positive attitude and a solution‑oriented mindset
Creative Tech for Agencies
I work with marketing and branding agencies as a freelance creative technologist, building prototypes and production-ready apps for campaigns and client pitches. My work has won a BIMA award and has been presented in pitches for major brands including Sky, McDonald’s and Adidas.
Web Applications
I build campaign microsites, browser games, interactive tools and data visualisations using TypeScript, React, JavaScript animation libraries, and Device APIs.
Rapid Prototypes
I build functional prototypes for pitches and internal reviews to validate concepts and user flows before full development.
Physical Computing
I use Arduino, Raspberry Pi, sensors, and APIs for wireless interactive installations, physical interfaces, and IoT prototypes.
Native Apps
I build native iOS apps for campaigns and events using Capacitor for rapid prototyping and CI/CD publishing to TestFlight and App Store Connect.
Stu understands how to be creative with technology, building strong creative ideas that resonate with real people
AI-Ready Sites & Generative Engine Optimisation
AI assistants are transforming how people find information. When someone asks Claude or ChatGPT a question, you want AI to retrieve your content, cite your expertise, and recommend your services. I build WordPress sites structured for AI-driven discovery from launch.
GEO-Optimised Content
GEO optimisation creates structured content that AI models can parse, cite and recommend. It includes entity-rich copy, semantic HTML, JSON-LD markup, and content architecture designed for generative search.
WordPress MCP Adapter
Connect your site to AI assistants using the official WordPress MCP Adapter. AI will query your content directly rather than relying on training data or web scraping.
Custom Abilities
Define what AI can do on your site: search content, retrieve products, access structured data. Your custom ability will feature strict schemas that control exactly what AI can access.
20+ Years Building for Brands and Agencies
I have over 20 years of experience building websites, applications and interactive experiences for major brands, publishers and agencies. You’ll work directly with me, either remote or on-site.
