I thoroughly enjoyed working with Bassey. He was highly collaborative and very receptive to feedback as we progressed through the project. His communication was excellent, and he was readily available, even accommodating our team's various time zones.

Large images, unnecessary scripts, and complex page layouts can make a website slow. I review what is causing the delay and make targeted improvements.
Start with the page.
Measure the change.
Performance work can include image optimisation, caching, and reducing unnecessary page weight. The right changes depend on your hosting, theme, plugins, and the features your site needs.
I compare the page before and after under the same test conditions, so the result has a clear basis.

I’m Bassey, a freelance WordPress developer and web designer based in Lisbon, Portugal. I’ve spent 8+ years building websites for clients in law, real estate, finance, hospitality, and e-commerce, with 75+ client sites delivered.

Before we start
Your website
questions, answered.
Practical details about working together, from the first brief to support after launch.
Do you work with clients outside Lisbon?
Yes. I’m based in Lisbon, Portugal, and work remotely with clients worldwide. We can discuss your website, share feedback, and review progress without needing to meet in person.
Can you redesign or improve my existing WordPress website?
Yes. I can help with a full redesign or a focused improvement, such as a page layout, mobile experience, SEO setup, or loading speed. Share your current website and what needs to change so we can agree the scope.
Which website platforms do you work with?
I build WordPress websites with Elementor Pro, Breakdance, Kadence, and Gutenberg. The right choice depends on your website, the features you need, and how you want to manage content after launch.
Do you build online stores?
Yes. I build WooCommerce stores on WordPress. We start with your products or content and the steps customers need to take to buy.
What does a website cost, and how long does it take?
Cost and timing depend on the number of pages, design requirements, integrations, and whether your content is ready. After reviewing the brief, we agree the scope and schedule before development starts.
Can you help with SEO and maintenance after launch?
Yes. I provide WordPress SEO, performance optimisation, and ongoing maintenance. These can be included in the project scope or arranged as separate support for an existing website.
