I’m Nate

I’ve been been building websites for years. I started my career in IT as a graphic designer, then a web designer, then when further down the rabbit hole and became a full on web developer and eventually became a UX designer.

I’ve Been Doing This for a While

Both built and worked on more sites than I can even display here in any conventional manner. The following urls listed are the most recent sites I’ve worked on. I’ve built and maintained many, many more. These are the most recent. If you have questions about anything else I’ve worked on just ask me.

I Have Skills

In conjunction with my design background, I’m also well versed in SEO. I build the sites and I know how to give Google what it’s looking for so they can be found. I specialize in organic SEO, Google Analytics, social media campaigns and landing pages that convert.

WordPress Skills

I’ve been developing engaging blog content with WordPress since its inception. Back before the massive WordPress plugin library was a thing you used to have to edit individual php files in order to build the functionality you required.

With the advent of plugins WordPress went on to become a full fledged CMS rather than a blogging platform. Since then I’ve worked with the following WP Engine, Woo Commerce, WordPress Child Theme, Yoast, Rank Math, Gutenberg, Breakdance, Canva, Shopify Integration, Elementor, Beaver Builder, Thesis, plugin and theme development and so much more.

I’m skilled at decreasing load times, improving page speed and efficiency. I’ve built my own templates from scratch as well as themed current installations.

The following urls listed are the most recent sites I’ve worked on. I’ve built and maintained many, many more. These are the most recent.
