CHARLES CRAIK.

CREATIVE FRONTEND DEVELOPER.

About

I’m Charles Craik, a frontend developer specializing in crafting high-performance, visually stunning WordPress experiences. My expertise lies in blending modern web technologies with the flexibility of WordPress, ensuring that every site I build is not only beautiful but also scalable, responsive, and user-friendly. Whether it’s custom theme development, optimizing page speed, or integrating advanced UI interactions, I focus on creating seamless digital experiences that feel effortless to navigate.

A well-built frontend isn’t just about good looks—it’s about performance, accessibility, and smooth user interactions. Leveraging technologies like React, JavaScript, and SASS alongside WordPress, I create dynamic, interactive interfaces that elevate the user experience. I work with Elementor, custom themes, and headless WordPress setups to push beyond traditional boundaries, ensuring every site is optimized for both aesthetics and efficiency. My approach combines clean, maintainable code with a keen eye for design, making sure every detail—from typography to micro-interactions—enhances the overall experience.
