Your Ethical Ghostwriter. Your Story, Done Right.

WordPress Services

33 years in technology. 20 years managing enterprise systems at Trader Joe’s. I fix WordPress problems, build what you need, and keep your site running.

What I Do

I run two WordPress sites of my own: thewritingking.com and masterofworlds.com, with hundreds of pages, custom configurations, and the kind of problems that come from building real businesses on WordPress. I know the platform from the inside because I use it every day, not because I read the documentation.

Services

1

Troubleshooting and Fixes

Something broke and you need it fixed. Plugin conflicts, white screens, broken layouts, database errors, email delivery failures, redirect loops. I diagnose the problem and fix it.

2

Performance and Speed

Slow sites lose visitors and rank lower. I optimize database queries, caching, image compression, plugin overhead, and hosting configuration to get your load times where they need to be.

3

Security

Hardening, malware removal, backup systems, SSL configuration, and access control. I spent two decades managing PCI compliance and enterprise security at Trader Joe’s under audits from a CISSP-credentialed firm, and served as Technical Editor for KnowBe4’s Cyberheist cybersecurity training book. Your WordPress site gets the same discipline.

4

Custom Development

Theme customization, plugin configuration, custom functionality, WooCommerce setup, membership sites, and integrations with third-party services. If WordPress can do it, I can build it.

5

SEO and Site Structure

Schema markup, internal linking architecture, URL structure, sitemap configuration, Core Web Vitals optimization, and the technical SEO foundations that determine whether your content can rank.

6

Ongoing Maintenance

Updates, backups, monitoring, and the regular maintenance that keeps a WordPress site healthy. Problems caught early cost a fraction of problems caught after they break something.

Background

20 years as Director of Computer Operations and Technical Services at Trader Joe’s, managing technology infrastructure for one of the largest privately held national grocery chains with 500+ locations. 33 years total in technology including enterprise systems, PCI compliance, network architecture, and disaster recovery. Technical Editor for the 2016 and 2020 editions of KnowBe4’s Cyberheist cybersecurity training book.

I run thewritingking.com (465+ articles, custom SEO infrastructure, multiple integrated services) and masterofworlds.com (fiction platform with 77+ articles and serialized content delivery). Both are WordPress sites I built, maintain, and optimize myself.
