Fast WordPress sites, built to convert

Stop apologizing for slow sites.

I'm Mark, and I've been building websites since 2007. These days I build WordPress landing pages and rebuild slow sites so they load in about a second on a phone. If a page I build scores under 90 on Google's mobile speed test, I keep working on it until it passes, at no extra cost.

Why speed matters

A slow page wastes money you've already spent.

Nothing looks broken, and that's the problem. People just leave before the page finishes loading, and you never find out who they were.

If you run paid traffic

You're paying for clicks that never see your offer.

Someone taps your ad, waits four seconds, and hits back. You still pay for that click. It shows up as a high cost per lead, and the ad creative usually gets the blame.

If your website sells your expertise

People judge your business before they read a word.

Someone looking for a lawyer, a dentist or a consultant usually has a few tabs open. The site that loads instantly feels more professional. It isn't fair, but it's how people choose.

Watch a slow page load

Load time 6.0s
Mobile visitors who leave 53%

Google's research found that 53% of mobile visits are abandoned when a page takes longer than 3 seconds to load.

Of a $10k monthly ad budget, wasted $5,300

A rough illustration: budget × abandonment rate. Your real numbers will be different, but they'll point the same way.

Since 2007

Who you'll work with

You'll deal with me from start to finish.

I've been building websites since 2007, a lot of those years inside agencies, where I watched good projects get worse every time they changed hands. So I went solo. The person you talk to on the first call is the person who builds your site.

Typical agency Working with me Who you talk to An account manager Me, the person building it How long it takes 4 to 8 weeks 48 hours to 7 days Who builds it Whoever is available Me, every time What you pay for Overhead and meetings The actual work

I only take one or two projects a month, so yours gets my full attention.

How I build

Fast because of how it's built, not because of a plugin.

01

Pages that load in about a second

I tune caching, CSS and image loading for each page instead of leaving everything on default settings. The page is ready before your visitor has time to get bored.

Server-level caching · critical CSS · images sized for phones

02

Clean code you can still edit yourself

No bloated theme, no jQuery, no pile of nested boxes. The code stays lean, so the site stays fast after launch, and you can still make changes in a visual editor.

Breakdance 3.0 · no theme · under 50 DOM nodes per section

03

Tracking that doesn't slow the page down

Your Meta and Google pixels, conversion events and CRM forms all work. They just load once the page is ready, so you keep your data and your speed. I test every event before you spend a dollar on ads.

Deferred pixels · server-side events where needed · native webhooks

Is this a fit?

I'm not the right fit for everyone.

Good fit

We'll probably work well together if…

  • You run ads every month, or your website brings in leads worth real money.
  • You'd rather have a fast, finished site than unlimited rounds of revisions.
  • You want to talk directly to the person building it.

Probably not a fit

I'm likely the wrong person if…

  • You need a new brand identity, or all of your copy written from scratch.
  • You're building an online store with hundreds of products.
  • Your budget is under $1,500. There are good freelancers at that price, and I'm happy to point you to some.
