Do you work with the new Elementor editor (V4)?

Yes. This site is built with Elementor’s V4 atomic elements, global variables and global classes. I also work on sites built with the earlier widgets.

Can you add a feature Elementor doesn’t have?

Usually, yes. I write it as a small plugin and add it to the page as a shortcode, so it doesn’t depend on the editor. On Moynihan Train Hall’s site, which runs Elementor Pro, I rebuilt the live Amtrak and LIRR train tool as custom code.

Our Elementor site is slow. Can you fix it?

Often. I measure first and then fix what the numbers point to: fonts, images, caching and unused scripts. Before quoting, I tell you what a fix can and can’t change.

Can our team keep editing after you’re done?

Yes, that’s the point. Styles live in global variables and classes, and I leave notes on what’s safe to edit and what is code.

Elementor Pro development, including the parts that need code

I build and fix Elementor sites: Theme Builder templates, global styles, custom features as plugins and shortcodes, and the performance and accessibility work the editor doesn’t cover.

What you get

Templates and a design system

Header, footer and single templates in Theme Builder, with colors, type and spacing as global variables and classes, so one change updates the whole site.
Features Elementor doesn’t have

What the editor doesn’t offer, written as small plugins and shortcodes you drop into a page: live data, search and filters, API integrations.
Performance

Locally served fonts, right-sized images and page caching that doesn’t break forms, with Core Web Vitals measured before and after.
Accessibility

Skip links, focus styles, form labels and contrast, fixed in a child theme where the editor falls short.

Elementor sites I’ve worked on

This site is one of them: I rebuilt it in 2026 with Elementor’s V4 atomic elements, global variables and global classes.

V4 atomic elements, global variables and global classes, used to build this site
EN + ES one design in two languages, with Polylang and Theme Builder
Light + dark both modes from the same global variables

Transportation Moynihan Train Hall Visitor website for New York’s Moynihan Train Hall. I rebuilt its live Amtrak and LIRR train tool and took care of maintenance and content.
