How the work moves
- Audit the existing WordPress structure, plugins, data, and visual debt.
- Shape the page into reusable sections with modern interaction and responsive behavior.
- Deploy carefully, verify with screenshots, and leave the site easier to keep improving.
> page.context
Why this matters
Every page is treated as a working interface: clear hierarchy, fast loading, real content, and a simple next action.
That means the design is not just decorative. It helps visitors understand what George builds, how he thinks, and where to go next.

Built-in checks
- Mobile layout without sideways scroll.
- Local WebP imagery instead of fragile external image pulls.
- Readable contrast, keyboard-friendly links, and concise content blocks.

Bento Panels
Compact mixed-size content areas for proof, notes, highlights, and next actions.
Terminal Blocks
Command-line styled panels for technical personality, social links, and conversion moments.
Proof Cards
Small trust signals that connect skills, tools, and client outcomes.
