Hi, I’m Israel, a Web Developer and Digital Solutions Specialist based in Kampala, Uganda. I design and build responsive, high-performing websites that combine thoughtful design, reliable technology and real business objectives.
Available for projects & full-time roles
I hold a Diploma in Computer and Software Engineering from Makerere Institute of Technology East Africa, with practical experience across web development, WordPress, IT support, maintenance, SEO and client consultation.
Practical experience across WordPress, front-end development and the infrastructure underneath: hosting, domains, DNS and SSL.
Interfaces planned before they are styled. Structure, hierarchy and responsive behaviour decided deliberately rather than inherited from a template.
Narrowing down carefully rather than guessing quickly, and documenting the fix so the same issue does not come back.
A website is a commercial tool. Time spent on a section should be justified by what that section is there to achieve.
Eight service lines covering the full life of a digital product, from the first structural decision through to the maintenance that keeps it working. Web, WordPress, e-commerce and cross-platform mobile.
Custom WordPress builds that stay maintainable after handover, built with the block editor, extended only where it earns its place.
Modern, responsive interfaces, and honest redesigns of sites that have stopped doing their job.
The technical groundwork that decides whether a site is found and whether it loads before someone leaves.
Ongoing care so a site stays current, secure and working: the unglamorous part that decides whether it lasts.
Domain, hosting, DNS, SSL and email configured properly, plus migrations that don't lose anything.
Interface design grounded in how people actually move through a site, from wireframe to build-ready system.
Cross-platform mobile apps built with Flutter, one codebase running natively on Android and iOS.
Practical IT support for hardware, software, websites and the people using them.
Each project opens into a full case study: the problem, the thinking behind the approach, what was built, and where it stands today.
An ongoing locum website development contract covering WordPress build work, content architecture, responsive design and site health.
Three years of website development, maintenance and technical support inside a Ugandan technology company.
A live editorial e-commerce storefront for a Ugandan beauty retailer, built on WooCommerce with UGX pricing and Mobile Money checkout.
A cross-platform rental app built with Flutter, one Dart codebase running natively on both Android and iOS.
A corporate product site for an energy and revenue protection company, built to explain a technical offering to a non-technical buyer.
A school website built around the questions parents actually arrive with: admissions, academics, contact and credibility.
Seven stages, applied consistently. The order matters, because most project problems trace back to a stage that was skipped rather than a stage that was done badly.
Understand the organisation, the audience and the business objective before anything is designed.
Define the information architecture, technical requirements and project direction.
Create intuitive UI/UX and responsive layouts, structure first and styling second.
Develop the site with the appropriate technology, in a way the next person can maintain.
Improve performance, SEO, accessibility and security before launch, not after.
Deploy, test and verify, including the parts that usually get skipped.
Maintenance, improvements and technical support once it is live.
Listed honestly. Where my experience with something is still developing, it says so. There are no proficiency percentages here because they would be invented.
The languages everything else is built on.
Where most of my delivered work lives.
Cross-platform apps from a single codebase.
Structure and interface before implementation.
Making sure the work can be found and measured.
The parts clients only notice when they go wrong.
Three years of web and IT work at Yunga Technologies, independent contract projects since, and earlier roles in marketing and sales that shaped how I handle clients.

Practical writing on WordPress, performance, SEO and interface design: the things clients ask me about most often.
Most slow WordPress sites are not slow because of WordPress. They are slow because of decisions made in the first week of the build.
Speed is not a technical vanity metric. It is the first impression, and on a metered mobile connection it is a cost your visitor is paying.
Most compromised WordPress sites are not targeted. They are found by automated scanning, and they fall to problems that were entirely preventable.
Whether you need a new website, a WordPress redesign, better performance, SEO improvements or ongoing technical support, let’s talk about your project.
Let's discuss how I can help you build, improve or maintain your digital presence. Tell me what you need and I'll come back with a straight answer on scope, approach and timeline.
