What I Can Build, And Where I’ve Already Built It
Every skill links to the live projects where I used it. If something is not here, I have not shipped it for anyone yet, and I would rather tell you that than list it.

Design
How the site looks and who can use it: a visual system made for the business, built to WCAG 2.2 AA.
Design
Design Systems And Brand
Colours, type and spacing picked for the business and written down as tokens, so page twenty matches page one. For Ravalent I redrew the logo as a clean vector by measuring the original, not tracing it.
Design
Accessibility
I build to WCAG 2.2 AA. Contrast is calculated for every colour pair, not judged by eye, and forms, focus outlines and keyboard use are checked by hand.
Building The Site
The site itself: WordPress themes and plugins, front-end code, and tools that run on real data.
Building The Site
Custom WordPress Plugins
When nothing in the plugin directory does the job, I write the plugin. JNR Builds runs on four of mine: a part picker that checks whether PC parts fit together, the parts catalogue behind it, form spam protection, and one that lets AI assistants search the guides and check a build.
Building The Site
WordPress Themes
Child themes on Kadence, block themes with their own headers and footers, and design settings locked in so an owner's edits stay on brand.
Building The Site
Can You Build A Custom WordPress Plugin?
Yes. I have written plugins for a PC part compatibility checker, a parts catalogue, form spam protection and AI-assistant access, all running on JNR Builds. If a free plugin already does the job well, I will tell you to use that instead.
Building The Site
Directories, Maps And Lookup Tools
Sites that answer from structured data: a 30-island map with listings islanders publish themselves, and pet safety checkers that look up a food or plant and return the answer for that animal.
Building The Site
React, TypeScript And Node
JNR Builds began as a React and TypeScript app with an Express API and a PostgreSQL database. I built it, ran it in production, then moved it to WordPress so every page reads without JavaScript.
Building The Site
Do You Build With WordPress Or Custom Code?
Both. Most of my client sites run on WordPress because owners can edit them, and I write custom plugins and themes where the ready-made ones fall short. JNR Builds is WordPress with four custom plugins, and it started life as a React and Node app.
Building The Site
Front-End And Motion
Hand-written HTML and CSS, a WebGL shader behind this site's intro, a physics section where words fall and stack, and an animated SVG on the JNR Builds homepage.
Getting Found
So people and AI assistants can find it: structured data, technical SEO and pages that load fast.
Getting Found
AI-Search Readiness
Structured data that tells Google and AI assistants who the business is, FAQ answers that match the page word for word, and robots.txt rules that welcome AI answers while saying no to AI training.
Getting Found
Technical SEO
One clear main heading per page, honest titles and descriptions, sitemaps, redirects for moved pages, and IndexNow so Bing hears about changes the same day.
Getting Found
Will My Site Be Readable By ChatGPT And Google's AI?
Every site I build is. Pages are sent as plain HTML that AI crawlers can read without running JavaScript, structured data names your business and services, and the copy answers real questions near the top. Being cited also depends on what the rest of the web says about you, so I help you set up your Google Business Profile and directory listings to match.
Getting Found
Speed
Self-hosted fonts, the main image preloaded, heavy scripts loaded only when someone scrolls to them, and page caching tuned for the host.
Running It Safely
Keeping it healthy after launch: security, email that arrives, audits and a clean handover.
Running It Safely
Security Hardening
I check a site from the outside first, the way an attacker would, then close what leaks: usernames WordPress publishes by default, the XML-RPC password-guessing route, missing security headers and backup files left in public folders.
Running It Safely
Forms And Email That Arrive
Contact forms that catch mistyped email addresses before they are sent, and mail sent through the domain's own mail server so it reaches the inbox instead of spam.
Running It Safely
Site Audits
A written review of an existing site with evidence behind every finding: what is broken, what is costing you enquiries, and what to fix first.
Running It Safely
Hosting And Handover
Hostinger setup, a backup with a tested way back before every change, and a handover so you can run the site without me.
