Vincent Menet, freelance WordPress developer.

I design WordPress sites and code them by hand, section by section. What I care about: fast, accessible sites that my clients actually use, for years.

Code, not clutter.

Visual builders made WordPress accessible to everyone. They also produced a wave of heavy, fragile sites that nobody can take over. I take the opposite approach: every section is written by hand, in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and WordPress manages the content. It takes more effort, but the result is lighter, more accessible and easier to evolve.

I handle the whole cycle: design, development, launch, then SEO and maintenance. As a freelancer, the person advising you is the person writing the code, and the one who answers when your site needs to change.

What I care about.

  • The right tool, not the trendiest one.

    Code written for your project rather than a stack of modules. And never one more plugin for something a few lines can solve cleanly.

  • A site is judged after launch.

    The real question is how it holds up a year from now: updates, improvements, performance. I build with that moment in mind.

  • Accessibility from the first mockup.

    Contrast, keyboard navigation, screen readers: it's planned from the start, not patched at the end, when everything costs more.

  • You own it.

    The site, the code, the access: everything belongs to you, with no hidden dependencies. You can walk away with it, though I hope you'll stay.

My toolbox.

Few tools, but well mastered. Each one is chosen for its reliability and how easily someone else can pick it up.

  • Build
  • Develop
  • Design
  • Measure and check
  • WordPress The foundation of all my sites: content, users, plugins.
  • Bricks Builder The framework I plug my code into: templates, headers, SEO settings.
  • Gutenberg The native editor, for sites I take over without rebuilding everything.
  • ACF Custom fields so content can be edited safely.
  • PHP Functions, custom post types, custom plugins.
  • JavaScript Interactions, filters, games: everything that responds on screen.
  • REST API Connecting WordPress to an interface or an external service.
  • GSAP Smooth animations that respect each visitor's preferences.
  • Three.js 3D in the browser, when a project calls for it.
  • Figma Mockups approved before the first line of code.
  • Modern CSS Variables, grids, container queries: styling that lasts.
  • Themes Dark and light, designed together from the first mockup.
  • PageSpeed Insights Core Web Vitals measured before every delivery.
  • Search Console Tracking indexing and what people actually search for.
  • Google Business My clients' Google listings: local visibility and reviews.
  • RGAA 4.1 The French accessibility standard, aligned with WCAG, that guides my audits.

Chess player

Always improving. London System with White, French Defense with Black: solid openings rather than flashy moves. That's a bit how I code, too.

This site, my testing ground

No store-bought theme: every section is written by hand. Dark and light themes, full keyboard navigation, case studies generated from WordPress. What I offer my clients, I try here first.

Shall we talk?

A project, a question, a site to take over: write to me, I reply personally.
