I'm new to using Freelancer.com but I've been a freelancer for over a decade. I use a time-tested approach to handling my client's online marketing needs, requiring an in-depth look at how their business operates and who their ideal customer is. I work primarily with WordPress, and have been doing so for the better part of a decade. Accordingly I'm very familiar with all of the relevant technologies: PHP, MySQL, HTML5, CSS3, jQuery/Javascript. I build WordPress websites from scratch, or build/customize theme, build/customize plugins—whatever the project demands. I am familiar with the requirements of SEO and every website I build has those considerations baked into it from the start—after all, why have a website at all if nobody can find it? I also do social media marketing for my clients, utilizing and managing a variety of content channels: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.
