What I Build

Website design & Development

Your website is the first impression most customers get. If it looks outdated, loads slowly, or doesn’t work on mobile, they’re already gone.

Brand & Logo Design

Before a customer reads a single word, they’ve already formed an impression. A professional brand identity builds trust instantly and gives your business something to grow into.

SEO

Most small business websites are invisible to search engines, not because the content is bad, but because the technical foundation is broken. Good SEO starts with a site that search engines can actually read.

Website Performance

A slow website costs you customers and search rankings. Most small business sites have fixable problems that are quietly doing real damage.

Business Automation & Integrations

If you’re copying form submissions into a spreadsheet, chasing down leads manually, or running your business out of your inbox, your website isn’t working hard enough.

WordPress Maintenance & Support

A slow website costs you customers and search rankings. Most small business sites have fixable problems that are quietly doing real damage.

I’ve collaborated with local and global brands.

The Work

AdvancedCustomFields.com

Advanced Custom Fields

Advanced Custom Fields is one of the most widely used plugins in the WordPress ecosystem. I worked on ongoing web maintenance for AdvancedCustomFields.com, updated page designs across the site, migrated the codebase from PHP 7 to 8, and ran critical checkout testing to make sure nothing broke for customers in the process.

Product Launch / E-Commerce

Clear 360

Clear 360 PRO is a next-generation hearing protection wearable built for professionals who work in loud environments without sacrificing awareness. For the product launch, I handled the full web experience — design, WooCommerce setup, and getting the store across the finish line.

That meant building out the product pages, configuring WooCommerce for a clean purchase flow, and making sure everything was dialed in before launch day.

Successful Launches

YEARS EXPERIENCE

On-Time Delivery

Damon is a senior front-end engineer with 15+ years building on the web — from WordPress themes with hundreds of thousands of installs to custom Gutenberg block systems, React applications, and analytics pipelines. He’s contributed to WordPress Core, shipped for agencies like 10up and WP Engine, and now works directly with clients who need that level of craft without the agency markup.

Every engagement starts with understanding your system, not just your ticket. You get clear communication, clean code, and someone who’s accountable from kickoff to launch.
