An experienced WordPress developer, directly involved in your project.
I'm Costin, the developer behind Nomad Developer. For more than a decade I've helped businesses build, improve and support WordPress websites, from custom content architecture and WooCommerce to specialist technical problem-solving. I'm based in London, work with clients throughout the UK and keep communication direct and practical.
If you're looking for a WordPress developer in London, that page covers the boroughs I work across and how local projects usually run.
Working style
Strategy first, implementation second, clarity throughout.
The goal is not just to ship WordPress work. It is to ship work that supports the business properly and stays maintainable after launch.
What I specialise in
- Custom WordPress themes and content architecture
- WooCommerce, subscriptions and payments
- Custom plugins and integrations
- Performance and technical SEO
- Migrations
- Security and recovery
- Ongoing care
Working arrangements
I'm based in London and work with businesses across the UK. Calls and delivery run during UK business hours, mostly over video and shared project tools. You deal with me throughout: the person scoping the work is the person doing it.
My Story
From corporate development to strategic WordPress consulting
I started in corporate development, building systems where a bad technical call could cost a business real money — not just an ugly bug report. That's the standard I still hold WordPress work to. Here's the path that got me here.
The foundation
Corporate development
More than 10 years ago I began my career in corporate development, working on systems where requirements were complex and the cost of getting it wrong was high. That's the standard I still hold WordPress work to.

Moving into WordPress
Working with agencies and a range of business types, I built deep, hands-on expertise in WordPress — and shifted from one-off delivery toward longer consulting relationships.

Shipping my own products
Consulting sharpened the tools I wish existed — so I started building and releasing them: plugins and free tools that solve the problems I kept running into on client work.

Why businesses hire me
Fewer surprises, clearer decisions, work that's still maintainable next year.
Most clients have already been burned by vague scope or a developer who disappeared after launch. They come to me for a fixed price, a clear plan, and someone who's still reachable 6 months in.
Fixed Scope, No Surprises
You get a fixed price and a defined deliverable list before work starts — not an open-ended hourly clock.
I Tell You When Something's a Bad Idea
If a request will cost more than it's worth, I'll say so before you pay for it, not after.
Built to Outlast the Project
Code and architecture decisions are made so the site still makes sense to maintain in 2 years, not just at launch.
How I Work
3 things that don't change from project to project.
Code That Holds Up
Clean, maintainable WordPress built to best practices — so the next developer who touches it (or I do, a year later) isn't untangling shortcuts.
Still Around After Launch
Most of my clients come back for the next project or stay on a care plan. I'd rather build a relationship than disappear once the invoice is paid.
Straight Answers
If something you're asking for is overkill, underpowered, or the wrong tool for the job, I'll tell you — even if the more expensive option would've been the easier sale.
