Yep, it’s really that simple. There’s a reason why the waterfall approach is a mainstay of web design: it works. After 15+ years of building WordPress websites, I have my process down to a science.
I’m Daniel Quinn—a technical lead, digital strategist, freelance WordPress developer, and former copywriter with a background in communications. For 15+ years, I’ve helped digital agencies, startups, and nonprofits all over the world build digital platforms that reinvent their business.

While Devsec is a simple site from a technical perspective, we added visual complexity by introducing layers of graphical flourishes, motion graphics, and looping video to give it that science fiction feel.
