Consultant for other WordPress developers, code audits, encouraging everyone to dive into accessibility, i18n, RTL, documentation and code standards.
As a key contributor to the Genesis Framework core, I can advise you how to get the most out of it when dealing with complex customisations or plugin integrations. I can also guide you through the Genesis code.
I've organised and ran two Contributor Days, at WordCamp London events, so if you're looking for advice on how to run your WordPress contributor day event, let me know.
Gary is an extremely talented web developer who has always provided excellent quality work, exceeding expectations. Highly recommended.
Gary is an absolute pleasure to work with on any project. He is alway willing to lend a hand on anything that is required. Takes the lead when others do not have the time. His work is of the highest quality and a true professional at all times.
Gary's meticulous attention to best practices when coding websites is to the benefit of everyone who relies on his expertise. He's very generous with his time and extensive skill set. I've gotten advice from Gary through the StudioPress forums, used code he's shared via his website, and learned quite a lot from reading his blog.
I've enjoyed working with Gary on a number of projects. He has a keen eye for detail and things have always gone remarkably smoothly.
Gary has been extremely helpful and let me do what I want and in a way I need with a couple of my websites. Of course he has been instrumental at dealing with the "bits" I either don't understand or just don't have time to figure out! He makes sure that the things that need to be done are done straight away. This has given me the confidence to ask - even when I don't really understand or know what I really need.
I actually think of Gary as a partner of mine because he's so darn good at solving the tech side of word press problems for me. I've come to rely on him. He's also a darn good proofreader... which I'm not, but that's just a bonus. His prices are more than fair and I'm going to use him to spearhead the revamping of aboutfreelancewriting.com - it's past time for a re-design and a rethink.
I'm in San Diego - he's in the UK - it's one of those wonderful virtual relationships that only the web can provide.
Do I sound like I'm in love? Just a little bit I think.
I recently completed a project for Gary on behalf of one of his clients. He provided full and detailed information, his expectations as to the time line and kind of work required, answered my questions fully and clearly and was quick to confirm I could invoice him. An ideal client!
Not only does Gary know exactly what he's doing, he's also always happy to listen and offer advice. Something that is absolutely invaluable for a young charity. Whether it's wordpress, javascript or e-newsletters he has been a massive help. A big, big thank you!
