I’m a Senior Developer and UI Designer specializing in end-to-end website development. I handle projects from site architecture and UI planning through hands-on development, including custom WordPress themes and plugins, API integrations, accessibility, performance optimization, and deployment. My focus is building scalable, high-performing websites that are intuitive and easy to maintain.
This phase builds a clear understanding of the project and its objectives. Business goals, audience needs, competitor insights, existing content, and required integrations are reviewed and documented. Stakeholders align on priorities, scope, and constraints to ensure the project begins with shared expectations and a clear direction.
With discovery complete, the project moves into structured planning. The sitemap, UX flows, and wireframes are created to define the site's structure and user experience. The technology stack, hosting, and key integrations are confirmed, along with accessibility, performance, and scalability expectations. A milestone-based timeline is established to keep the project on track.
During this phase, the user interface and overall look and feel of the site are designed. A cohesive design system that includes color, typography, spacing, and reusable components is established to ensure visual consistency. Responsive prototypes are created to demonstrate how the site will appear and function across devices.
In the development phase, approved designs and specifications are built into a fully functional website. Front-end work focuses on responsive, accessible, and high-performing interfaces, while back-end development handles application logic, database structure, CMS configuration, and API integrations. Version control and coding standards are followed to ensure the site is secure, stable, and maintainable.
The site undergoes thorough quality assurance to verify functionality, accessibility, cross-browser and device compatibility, performance, and security. Content and technical SEO elements are reviewed, analytics tracking is configured, and final approval is obtained. The site is then deployed to production using a controlled launch process with backups and rollback protections in place.
After launch, ongoing maintenance keeps the site secure, up to date, and performing reliably. Performance and uptime are monitored, issues are addressed as they arise, and enhancements are implemented as needs evolve. Analytics and user behavior insights help guide improvements so the website continues to support long-term business goals.
April revamped the website for the Montessori business I own. The website she created couldn't have been better. The experience was great and the results were even better. April paid close attention to our goals and offered great suggestion to help us achieve those goals. She exceeded our expectations. She took our old website with outdated graphics, fonts, technology and seamlessly transformed it into a modern and incredibly attractive site that is driving great business. Not only is the website good looking, it also captures customer data, integrates all our social media and blogs, which drive our SEO. Additionally April crafted a customer engagement form that gives us immediate notice for leads.
Our revenues increase 35% as a direct result of April's work. She continues to maintain our website and keeps it updated and fine tuned. April communicates great and is wonderful to work with. She did not talk over our heads and explained the technology in terms we could understand and educated us along the way. I highly recommend April.
