Bernies Pest Control Australia
My most recent project developed in WordPress was for a lovely couple Richie & Tarren in the Gold Coast, Australia. A revamped website of their old and dated site, we gave the new site a sophisticated and current look, utilising advanced plugins and features to enhance UI & UX for all users.
We meticulously incorporated the client’s brand colours, inspired by their logo and overall brand identity, into the website’s design. Our approach involved crafting a comprehensive and informative platform, spanning over 20 pages, to showcase the diverse range of services they offer. Each service is thoughtfully presented, ensuring visitors gain a thorough understanding of the client’s offerings.
Saravanua Transfers & Tours Fiji
Saravanua Transfer & Tours, was developed using WordPress. Building this website was particularly exhilarating as it allowed me to further refine my skills in WordPress. This project was more intricate, featuring online booking functionality and multiple detailed pages showcasing the various tours available. Working with Simione & Lavenia Saravanua on this project was a delightful experience, marked by their wonderful cooperation and consistently positive feedback.
Alspals
After graduation, I had the opportunity to work with my first genuine client, Alspals, through a project entirely built on the WordPress CMS platform. Alison had an existing website that i redesigned. This experience was instrumental in deepening my understanding of the program, challenging my skills, and broadening my overall expertise. Collaborating closely with Alison, a dedicated Dog Trainer based in Pokeno, Auckland, was a highlight of this project. Our constant communication throughout the project made the entire experience exceptionally rewarding and enjoyable. It is safe to say Alison was very happy with my services.
Graduate Project - Source Code
My final project, “Leak Logic,” created towards the conclusion of my academic program for an actual client, was constructed entirely using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ajax, PHP, and MySQL. This comprehensive project not only served to showcase the skills and knowledge I gained during my studies but also included a personalised administration portal. This portal was specifically designed for my client, enabling them to manually manage dynamic data effectively.
PHP & MySQL Graduate Project
“Carland”, my initial project involving PHP and MySQL, was created from scratch during my studies. This project was an opportunity to exhibit my proficiency in PHP and MySQL, transitioning from a development phase to a live environment. My role extended to designing a distinctive logo and developing the website’s aesthetics to align with the logo and the overall branding of the company.

Custom coding offers total control over your website, enabling complete customization of both functionality and design for a unique, tailor-made appearance. It often results in a more efficient and faster website, free from the extra features and plugins typical of many WordPress sites, thus enhancing performance. From a security perspective, custom-coded websites have an advantage as they are less prone to common CMS-targeted hacking attempts. This approach is ideal for incorporating unique functionalities not available through WordPress plugins. Moreover, custom coding is an excellent way to develop your coding skills and deepen your understanding of web development principles. It provides full control over SEO, allowing for detailed optimization of each site element for search engines. In terms of scalability and flexibility, custom-coded sites offer more long-term adaptability, free from the constraints of a CMS.
