What I Do
How I spend my working day and how it makes me a whizz at WordPress and why I'm a good fit to fix your web site issues.
My work email signature says I’m a “Developer” so that makes me more than qualified to fix your site.
Well that’s what I tell myself anyway.
I’m employed full-time at a marketing agency and I’m in dev team of four people. The majority of my time is spent dealing with clients on the ticketing system and administering our servers.
- Diagnosing issues on WordPress web sites
- Advising clients if they’re requesting a new feature
- Daily checks for WordPress vulnerabilities and maintenance on clients web sites. And there’s A LOT
- Updating plugins and themes
- Checking servers for issues regarding disk and bandwidth quotas, down to host level
- Sharing and documenting issues with colleagues on the internal Wiki (which we lost recently because of Teams update… a brown trousers moment just before they were recovered!)
When I’m not shitting miracles in tickets, I work on projects, that is seeing a web site through from discovery sessions (the client telling us what they want), through the development cycle (where we tell the client ‘not a chance’) and then finally the go live procedure, including WordPress training sessions with the client.
I’ve implemented self-authored policies for the whole development process from WordPress installation through to project completion.
