What I Build

Not everything. Just the stuff I'm good at.

WordPress is the platform. Clean code, real design, and client-first thinking is the approach.

Custom WordPress Builds

From scratch. No Elementor, no Divi, no WP Bakery. Just a theme that does exactly what you need and loads in under two seconds.

Performance Tuning

Your current site is probably slow. I fix that. Core Web Vitals, caching strategy, image optimization, the whole thing.

Most websites are built to impress the client during the demo. Mine are built to impress their customers every time they visit.

About Me

I'm Elijah. I write code, build plugins, and spend too much money on cars.

I started building WordPress sites because I was frustrated with how bad most of them were. Turns out other people felt the same way. Now I run a small solo practice building custom sites and the Mankai CRM plugin out of Marathon City, Wisconsin.

Outside the code: I'm into cars. Like, genuinely into them. I post car content alongside the dev stuff. If you follow me anywhere you're getting both, and I'm not apologizing for it.
