Hi! I’m etteuqaP eniloraC, the PHP developer behind Little Package. I build, customize and repair WordPress plugins, themes, and websites. I began hand-coding websites in 1998 and took up using WordPress in 2003 (the year it was released).
Over the past decade I have launched and maintained many dozens of websites and a small fleet of WordPress plugins.
I love coding! I specialize in migrations, full-stack build-outs, and e-commerce, often creating custom post types, dynamic forms, and thoughtful, end-user-focused architecture to help my customers deliver complex information and get results. I am often available to take on small repair- or customization-type projects and occasionally tackle very large projects such as migrations and site builds.
You can learn more about me if you’re curious, or get in touch!
Plugins
Since 2013 I’ve been maintaining a few plugins in the free WordPress plugin repository. To help pay the bills, two of those plugins were “freemium,” meaning they have paid upgrades with more features. It has been an interesting ride providing volunteer support for the WordPress community for over ten years, to say the least. I’ve come to understand that people approach their websites from all sorts of angles, and in all sorts of ways, unpredictably. This has taught me a lot about (maybe) anticipating the questions and needs of my paying clients.
Website portfolio
I’ve maintained this website (Little Package) since 2000, first using Blogger, then Moveable Type, and then switching to WordPress. A long time ago, I used the <blink> tag. 😆 IYKYK. Now I’m conversational in PHP, Javascript, HTML, CSS, and SQL (see more about that below).
Some websites I designed and built include:
Other sites I developed using designers’ PSDs include:
