WordPress Development & Creative Technology for Agencies & Enterprise

I’m a freelance WordPress developer and creative technologist with over 15 years of experience building enterprise-scale sites, apps and interactive experiences for global brands, agencies and publishers.

Based in Margate, Kent, I work on-site with clients across the UK and remotely worldwide.

My WordPress sites are fast, maintainable and ready for AI-driven search.

My Creative Technology work is innovative, accessible and award-winning.

Custom WordPress Development

I build custom WordPress themes and plugins for enterprise clients and agencies. Using modern development practices and tooling, I transform designs into production-ready code with using design systems, block themes, editor customisations, automated testing, and CI/CD.

Custom WordPress Themes

I build custom WordPress themes with TypeScript, React, Tailwind, and the Interactivity API. My themes feature clean, semantic HTML based on design systems with maintainable, utility-first styling.

Custom WordPress Plugins

I build custom WordPress plugins with TypeScript, React, and PHP to add functionality that WordPress core and third-party plugins don’t provide.

Custom WP-CLI Commands

I write bespoke WP-CLI scripts to automate complex, repetitive tasks including content sync, reporting, and database migrations.

Automated Testing

I create GitHub Actions pipelines that run automated tests, accessibility audits, and code quality checks to ensure stability.

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 Technology for Agencies

I work with marketing and branding agencies as a freelance creative technologist, building MVPs, prototypes and production-ready apps for client pitches and campaigns. My creative technology work has won a BIMA award and has been prominent in successful campaigns for leading global brands.

Rapid Prototypes

I create rapid prototypes for pitches and internal reviews to validate concepts and user flows before full development.

Physical Computing

I tinker with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, sensors and APIs for wireless interactive installations, physical interfaces, and IoT prototypes.

Web Apps

I build campaign microsites, browser games, interactive tools and data visualisations using modern web frameworks and tooling including TypeScript, React, Tailwind, Device APIs, and JavaScript animation libraries.

Web Native Apps

I build Web Native iOS apps for MVPs, campaigns and events using Capacitor for rapid prototyping. They come with CI/CD pipelines for continuous deployment to Apple App Store Connect and TestFlight.

Stu understands how to be creative with technology, building strong creative ideas that resonate with real people
