Ecommerce websites
Magento is a turbo-charged ecommerce platform built on open source technology which provides online merchants with a flexible shopping cart system, as well as control over the look, content and functionality of their online store.
WooCommerce is an open source e-commerce plugin for WordPress It is designed for small to large-sized online merchants using WordPress. WooCommerce has attracted significant popularity because the base product, in addition to many extensions and plugins, is free and open source. In addition, there are thousands of paid add-ons for fixed prices.
Both solutions above provide powerful ecommerce features, essentially for free! They are also great for inventory, price and order management, as well as being great for search engines and mobile friendly.
The services that I provide as freelance ecommerce designer and developer are to take these solutions, work the templates into the required look and feel by hand-coding into a custom Magento or WordPress theme. Then populating the site with the required products. Testing the entire payment process. Then optimising the sites so they work super fast which increases conversion rates.

Website performance
Website Performance Optimisation, is focusing on increasing the speed (and delivery) of how a website is delivered to a user's browser. Fast loading pages improve user experience, increase your pageviews, and help with your WordPress SEO.
Studies show that from 2000 to 2016, the average human attention span has dropped from 12 seconds to 7 seconds. A slow website means users will potentially leave your website before it even loads.
I'm passionate about optimising the delivery of your website to your customer. There are many factors that can make a website slow, hosting, page size, WordPress configuration, and external scripts being the main issues.
