Web Developer / Plugin Builder / Marathon City, WI

Sites that
actually work
for you.

Custom WordPress development and the ManskiPort CRM plugin. Built for photographers, freelancers, and small businesses that are tired of slow sites, bloated builders, and paying $80/month for tools that should cost a flat rate.

// no templates. no drag-and-drop. just clean code.

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.

Client Portal Systems

Powered by ManskiPort. Give your clients a real place to log in, review sessions, fill forms, and feel like they matter.

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 ManskiPort 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.

Talk Through Your Project

The Process

Here's how we get from idea to launched.

01

We Talk

Fill out the form on the investment page. I'll reach back within one business day. We get on a call and figure out if we're a good fit.

02

I Plan and Scope It

I write up a clear scope document. Here's what's included, here's what's not, here's the price. You sign off or we adjust.

03

I Build It

I work through the project in clear phases with checkpoints. You're not left in the dark wondering if anything is happening.

Kind Words

What clients say after the project ships.

Find Me Online

Code during the week.
Cars on the weekend.

I post both. WordPress dev content, plugin updates, and car stuff. Follow if either of those sounds good to you.

Stay in the Loop

Get the occasional email when something worth reading happens.

WordPress tips, plugin updates, and project notes. Not a newsletter newsletter. More like a letter from someone who respects your inbox.
