From custom themes to the frustrating issues that off-the-shelf plugins can't solve — including form submissions that silently fail to deliver — I work through WordPress problems methodically until they're actually fixed.
Building or customizing themes to match your exact design, not a generic template.
Resolving plugin conflicts, broken functionality, and update-related breakage.
Diagnosing why Ninja Forms, Contact Form 7, or similar submissions aren't arriving — including SMTP setup (WP Mail SMTP, SendLayer) and DNS-level fixes (SPF/DKIM records).
The same Core Web Vitals diagnosis approach I use on Shopify, applied to WordPress themes and plugins.
Pixel-accurate builds from your design files.
ongoing maintenance and fixes as your site evolves, not just a one-time handover.
A common pattern: a Ninja Forms submission "sends" successfully in WordPress but never arrives in the inbox. The real cause is usually at the DNS level — missing or misconfigured SPF/DKIM records — not the form plugin itself. I trace the issue through the full chain (form → SMTP service → DNS) instead of guessing at plugin settings.
A contact form that silently fails to deliver looks identical to a working one from the visitor's side — you only find out when a lead never reaches you. Getting the DNS and SMTP configuration right the first time prevents lost inquiries.
Yes — usually a DNS-level issue (missing SPF/DKIM records) rather than the form plugin. I trace the full chain: form → SMTP → DNS.
Yes, as well as customizing existing themes and resolving plugin conflicts on live sites.
