About Antonio

Most WordPress sites underperform. Not because of bad design, but because of how they're built. Page builders, plugin stacks, and rushed architecture create sites that look fine on launch day and fall apart six months later.

I've spent 12+ years doing it differently.

My approach is ACF-first, builder-free, and built for the long run. Every project starts with a clean foundation: custom Gutenberg blocks, semantic markup, and a codebase your team can actually maintain. No Elementor. No Divi. No shortcuts that cost you later.

What I bring to your project:
⚡ 90-95+ PageSpeed scores across mobile and desktop
🎯 Pixel-perfect Figma-to-WordPress implementation
🧩 Custom Gutenberg blocks editors love using
🔒 Minimal dependencies, maximum stability

My stack:
ACF Pro · Custom Gutenberg · SCSS · Vanilla JS · PHP · REST API integrations

I've worked with brands like Rosetta Stone, Napster, and Marriott, handling everything from full theme builds to complex ACF field architectures and performance overhauls.

If you have a Figma file and need it built the right way, or if your current site is slow and you're not sure why, I'm happy to take a look and give you an honest assessment.
