Common questions,
answered.

Yes, I am currently available for new projects, including full website builds, custom redesigns, and ongoing maintenance retainers. You can reach out via the contact form to discuss availability and project scope.

A standard WordPress informational website typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. Custom theme builds or fully integrated WooCommerce online stores generally take 4 to 8 weeks depending on requirements.

I have been building websites professionally for over 15 years, working with clients across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia entirely remotely. I began developing custom websites in the early 2000s in Baguio City and have since worked across Manila, Kuala Lumpur, and Vigan.

I build custom websites for businesses across nonprofits, hospitality, healthcare, e-commerce, B2B, and live events. My primary specialization is custom WordPress, WooCommerce, and modern web applications.

Yes. I build custom WooCommerce stores across fashion, health products, travel, and services, with custom catalog design and payment gateway integrations including PayPal, Bux, Xendit, DragonPay, GCash, and Maya. This covers integrating these gateways into WooCommerce, not custom payment processing development.

Yes. I perform Core Web Vitals optimization, database cleanup, asset minification, server-level caching, and technical SEO schema audits to ensure fast load times and clean search indexing.

Yes. I have built custom websites for organizations such as the Domestic Violence Action Center (Hawaii), Coral Triangle Conservancy (Philippines), The Pitak Project (Philippines) and Kids' Resilience (Singapore), as well as medical associations and societies.

I specialize in WordPress, WooCommerce, PHP, and Astro for Static Site Generation. I also configure cloud hosting on DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Linode, and Contabo, and deploy open-source web applications like CloudPanel, Invoice Ninja, Mailcow, Dolibarr and Open Journal Systems.

An Astro-built static site loads faster, has a dramatically smaller attack surface since there's no database or plugin ecosystem to patch, and costs less to host and maintain long-term. There's no CMS to keep updated, no plugin conflicts, and no ongoing security patching cycle. It's the right fit for marketing sites, portfolios, and landing pages that don't need frequent content updates or e-commerce. WordPress remains the better choice when a client needs a full CMS, blogging, membership features, or WooCommerce.

I recommend Astro for high-performance static websites, landing pages, and portfolios requiring extreme speed and minimal security exposure. I recommend WordPress when clients require dynamic content management, blogging, or e-commerce capabilities.

Elementor is one of several ways I can build or maintain your site, and I can work within an existing Elementor build if that's your current platform. For new projects, I typically recommend a custom-coded WordPress theme or a static Astro build instead, since both give better performance and lower long-term overhead than a page-builder-dependent site.

Yes. I provision, harden, and optimize VPS cloud servers on DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Vultr, Linode, and Contabo using server management platforms and control panels like CloudPanel, RunCloud, and Cloudways to deliver high-traffic WordPress speed, security, and cost efficiency.

Yes. Every website build includes a complimentary 30-day post-launch warranty period for troubleshooting, minor adjustments, and user guidance. Monthly maintenance plans are available for ongoing support.

My ongoing maintenance packages cover WordPress core and plugin security updates, daily/weekly backups, uptime monitoring, malware scanning, performance tuning, and monthly developer support hours.

Yes, maintenance plans scale with how much hands-on support a site needs. A Basic tier covers core/plugin updates, automated backups, uptime and malware monitoring, with minor fixes handled as needed. A Standard tier adds a set number of monthly developer support hours for content updates, small feature changes, and performance tuning. A Pro tier is for sites with higher change volume or business-critical uptime needs, adding priority turnaround, more support hours, and proactive Core Web Vitals and security review.

I assist clients with domain registration and configuration, and cloud hosting setups. You can maintain direct billing with providers or retain me to manage server administration and routine infrastructure maintenance.
