WordPress done properly.

Hello! My name is Tom and I am a WordPress Developer and front-end consultant.

I craft fresh, accessible and highly-optimised WordPress-powered websites that are free of generic themes, clunky page builders and bloated plugins. In other words: WordPress done properly.

I am based in Helsinki, but work with agencies and clients across the world. And, even better, I communicate in plain English (plus a tiny bit of Finnish).

Just drop me a line and let’s work together!
