Eight years, one craft.
Freelance WordPress developer based in Edinburgh. Past lives in healthcare and at a Glasgow agency. One project at a time, honest timelines, no surprises.
Hi, I’m Milo. I build the WordPress sites you wish your last agency had.
Eight years of WordPress, freelance since 2021. Past lives: in-house dev at a healthcare group, lead front-end at a Glasgow agency. Edinburgh-based, available worldwide, GMT working hours.
One project at a time. Honest timelines, no surprises. You’ll talk to me — never a junior, never a project manager, never a chat-bot wearing a friendly hat.
I care about page speed, clean code, accessibility, and making sites that the people who edit them every day actually enjoy using.
Four things I won’t compromise on.
Speed first
Performance budgets from day one. If it doesn’t hit Lighthouse 95+, it doesn’t ship.
Code you can read
No nested page-builder spaghetti. Standard WP, well-named functions, comments where they help.
Editor-friendly
If non-technical editors can’t update it safely, the build isn’t done.
Honest timelines
Estimates that account for the messy middle. If it’ll slip, I tell you the same week.
The eight-year arc.
When I’m not at the keyboard.
Hill-running in the Pentlands, slow-cooking, building furniture badly, learning to play piano my partner already plays well. I read more sci-fi than is reasonable.
Let’s build
something fast.
