John King – Freelance WordPress Developer in Brighton & Hove

Custom WordPress themes & front-end development for design agencies.

I’m a freelance front-end developer partnering with design agencies to turn their designs into fast, flexible WordPress websites. I specialise in bespoke builds that are straightforward to manage — always with clean, accessible code and meticulous attention to detail.

Search engine optimisation and accessibility best practices are built into every project, ensuring the websites I deliver are fully responsive, inclusive, and optimised for performance and discoverability.

I’m actively seeking new partnerships with agencies that value dependable, considered development. Whether you require a long-term development partner or support on a project-by-project basis, I offer a collaborative approach that integrates seamlessly with your team.

I’ve worked with agencies of all sizes to deliver a wide range of websites — from elegant marketing sites to complex builds featuring podcast feeds, document libraries, event directories, and third-party API integrations. My goal is to make the development process smooth, transparent, and efficient, allowing you to focus on design while I manage the technical stuff.

Let’s turn your designs into fast, flexible WordPress websites.

Send me your designs and I’ll develop a custom-built, content-managed website that’s efficient, reliable, and ready to hand over — without unnecessary delays or complexity.

• Partnership-focused – I work closely with designers and agencies to deliver dependable, efficient development. You handle the creative — I handle the code.
• Modular page templates – I build reusable, flexible components in WordPress, giving your clients full control without breaking the design.
• SEO and performance built in – Clean, semantic HTML, accessibility best practices, and lean front-end code help ensure fast load times and strong search visibility.
• Content migration available – I can assist with moving content from an existing site as part of the build process, where needed.
• No training needed – WordPress is set up to be intuitive for editors, with clear on-screen instructions and a smooth publishing workflow.
• Efficient & affordable – I work from my home office, keeping costs low and turnarounds fast without compromising quality.
