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.
Using designs provided by Redis, I developed a custom WordPress installation powered by Gutenberg, WordPress’ built-in block editor.
Virtana’s new website takes full advantage of Gutenberg, empowering editors to build new experiences for their customers on the fly.
Kingfish Media hired me to develop the redesign for Ascot Group, a worldwide insurance / reinsurance company that operates in the USA, Bermuda, and the UK.
A Bad Penny Review Editor in Chief Johnny Damm recruited me to redesign his quarterly journal.
Bonnie Brunner and I designed Trademark Your Company for New York-based IP lawyer John M. Trani, who wanted to sell his legal services with a series of single-page forms.
I helped LogMeIn bring all its product blogs under a single WordPress Multisite platform, making life easier for their content editors.
Design Director Matt LeGrand of Common Sensing approached me to redesign his startup’s one-pager in anticipation of the launch of his new insulin-tracking device, the GoCap.
The WordPress theme I built allows site administrators to create highly modular pages by selecting from a bank of configurable blocks that require no technical expertise to manage.
Scott needed a place to showcase his publication history and storied career as a journalist and author. We tailored a Genesis theme to suit the character of his new book, which makes it easy for Scott to publish news and press using WordPress’s block-based editor.
Proper Villains provided a visual design that translated well when I put together the new, highly modular theme.
As Editor of Touchstone, I created the 2006 issue of Touchstone, the student literary magazine of Stetson University, alongside Assistant Editor and digital artist Laura Oxendine.
The Leap website relied on a robust, shortcode-driven templating system that allowed the agency team to construct portfolio pages with no technical expertise.
