About

I’m Steve Furley, a Bath-based freelance WordPress & WooCommerce developer with 16+ years in web development and 8+ years running my own practice. I help UK agencies with WordPress and WooCommerce overflows, subcontract work, and rescue projects—turning designs into reliable, editor-friendly builds. With 300+ projects and 25 five-star reviews, I focus on bespoke theme development, WooCommerce stores (including B2B pricing, subscriptions, and course logic), and ACF/Gutenberg block systems that keep sites maintainable.

I’ve long-standing relationships with agencies and organisations across the UK, delivering on time and on budget while fitting smoothly into existing processes. From performance and Core Web Vitals improvements to training clients so they can confidently manage their sites, I bring a practical, results-driven approach—building everything from custom Gutenberg blocks and WordPress theme work to API-driven front ends and interactive WooCommerce experiences.
