I am Ali Çınaroğlu, a seasoned WordPress Developer with nearly two decades of experience.
I help people improve their WordPress websites through design, UX, build, speed and SEO
I work with a wide range of clients, through my main day job as MD over at Toast and I work with smaller clients on a freelance basis.

WordPress Development
WordPress development is at the heart of what I do every day. For me, WordPress development goes beyond just writing code; a well-designed WordPress site should be enjoyable to use, intuitive, and fast. That’s why I design WordPress sites with two main user groups in mind – you, the site owner, and your visitors. Both of these groups need a site that is easy to navigate and use.
When it comes to developing with WordPress, one of the most popular content management systems worldwide, there are two different approaches. The first approach is using a Pre-built WordPress Theme, also known as WordPress Theme Installation, and the second is opting for a Custom WordPress Theme Design. Each of these approaches has its own advantages and disadvantages.

When it comes to working on a project with one of the most popular content management systems in the world, WordPress, there are two different paths you can take. The first option is to use a pre-built WordPress theme, while the second is to go for a custom WordPress theme design. Each of these paths comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages, which I’ve discussed in detail in the WordPress Development section.
WordPress Fixes & Troubleshooting
Projects, big or small, can run into problems. What you need is a developer who’s an expert in the field!
A significant part of my work involves helping people who have issues with their WordPress sites.
Here are the most common WordPress fixes and troubleshooting tasks I perform:
- Post-update issues: Sometimes, after WordPress updates, certain parts of your site might stop functioning.
- Plugin update problems: Plugin updates can sometimes lead to conflicts with other plugins or themes.
- Theme adjustments: Small changes and tweaks to CSS or functionality within WordPress themes….
WordPress Optimisation
One of the most common requests I receive is optimizing existing WordPress sites to improve Google Page Speed scores and other performance metrics.
WordPress Speed Optimization and Performance
This post might be a bit lengthy, but there’s a good reason for that. WordPress optimization is a vital part of any website project or SEO campaign.
Why should you boost your WordPress site’s performance on various online tests?
- Because your competitors are doing it
- You’ll have a more effective website
- There will be fewer things holding back your search rankings
- Ultimately, your site will generate more business (especially if your SEO is strong too)
WordPress SEO
The most important step in marketing your WordPress website is, without a doubt, SEO.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is complex and time-consuming, and it goes far beyond just using plugins like Yoast or Rankmath on your WordPress site.
In the market, there are thousands of so-called SEO ‘experts’ who want to take your money by making small tweaks to your site, sending you endless lists of meaningless keywords, and talking in jargon that makes it hard to understand what they’re doing.
The only thing you seem to get for the money you spend is a Google Analytics report that arrives every month.
