Web Development
Fast by Default
Built on the WordPress core block editor (Gutenberg): Block themes + core/custom blocks. Pages load fast on day one and stay fast after launch.
Why WordPress
WordPress is free, open-source software, and it powers more than 40% of all websites. The same software runs sites from Boone, North Carolina, all the way to the White House.
A few of the well-known sites that run on WordPress:
- WhiteHouse.gov
- NASA.gov
- Rolling Stone
- TIME
The core block editor, with no page builder
I build every site with the WordPress core block editor (Gutenberg), the editor that comes with WordPress itself. Many sites add a third-party page builder on top. A page builder adds extra code to every page and ties your content to one vendor’s plugin, so a later move away from it is slow and costly.
The core editor is open source and maintained by the WordPress project. You see the page as you edit it, and you build it from blocks: text, images, buttons and columns. Your site stays fast, and your content stays yours.
WordPress developer in Boone, NC
I am based in Boone, North Carolina, and build and look after WordPress websites for businesses in the High Country and beyond. Local work includes Destination by Design in Boone and Areté Structures in Blowing Rock.
Every site is built on the WordPress block editor and loads fast from day one. Design, development, SEO, accessibility, hosting and support come from one place, and a real person answers when you need help.
