About me
I am Stefan Bonnici, a freelance WordPress websites developer based in Malta. I'm a full-stack developer and I specialise in WordPress. I feel very lucky to have worked with various clients from different industries and different countries.
My freelance days started with the development of simple websites. However, with time I switched focus to provide more advanced WordPress development. My target is to become the trusted go-to WordPress expert developer for my clients where I can consult, assist and support long-term projects with features and functionality that cannot be obtained with common plugins or off-the-shelf solutions.
Being a freelance developer, life is never boring. I am always ready for the next challenge. Get in touch to discuss your project.
Services
WordPress themes and plugins
I can develop custom WordPress themes and plugins from scratch according to your requirements. A common scenario in the WordPress industry is where a client finds a WordPress theme or plugin from a marketplace like Themeforest which does 80% of the job. In that case, I can develop a child theme, plugin or custom post type to achieve 100% functionality. This custom development is what transforms a good website into a great website since it will give you that extra edge on your competitors.
Woocommerce customisation
Woocommerce is the number one E-commerce platform to create an online shop on WordPress for free. There are lots of possible extensions to it which make it very flexible. However, sometimes this is just not enough to suit your business model or deliver the idea which you have in mind. Thus, I can do the necessary tweaks and development that you require. For example, I can integrate new payment gateways, automatically sync products from another system, integrate custom tracking tools and more.
API integrations
Your WordPress website might require integration with other components like booking engines, payment gateways, reporting tools, email/SMS push notification services, analytics/tracking tools, external products inventory or other third party services. I can assist you with deciding to the best way forward, perform and test the API integration and also remain available for future maintenance. Apart from that, I can develop the necessary front-end if required, such as the search box and checkout flow for a booking engine.
Task automation solutions
Are you spending too much time to do something manually? Maybe you're having to repetitively do something on a daily/weekly/monthly basis? You shouldn't have to frequently copy and paste stuff or spend hours in Excel. Talk to me and if possible I will be able to automate your task. Your one-time investment will save you precious time and will increase the efficiency of your business. I can create robot scripts that scrape websites, connect to APIs, perform calculations, send emails and more.
WordPress consultancy
With years of experience working with WordPress, I can provide you with professional WordPress consultancy. You might want my thoughts on the ideal technical setup for your business. You may need my opinion about WordPress themes and plugins, or you may need hosting and server related advice. Sometimes you may be wondering if you should choose WordPress or another platform for your system. I am also available to assist you with random general queries regarding WordPress.
Not just WordPress!
Aside from WordPress, I am a PHP and C# .NET developer. I am fluent in front-end development stuff like HTML5, vanilla JavaScript, jQuery, CSS3, LESS/SCSS, Grunt/Gulp, Bootstrap, Git and more. I am also familiar with MySQL, Elasticsearch, Laravel and React. I can assist you with responsive websites and mobile specific websites. Apart from that, I have experience with customising Shopify themes and Liquid templates. If in doubt, get in touch and I will let you more accordingly.
Hire me
How it works
It starts by an email explaining the job. If there is a need to discuss more, we will schedule a Zoom/Skype call or a phone call. Then I will send you my quotation that will indicate a list of what will I exactly deliver, the delivery date and a final price. When you give me the go-ahead, I will work on the task and deliver by the agreed deadline.
Rates
I will give you a cost before proceeding with your request. I am registered as a self-employed person in Malta so 18% VAT will apply to Maltese companies. Companies in other EU states are exempt from VAT. I will always issue quotations and invoices in € (EUR).
Payment terms
A small deposit will be requested from first-time clients till business trust is established. I usually issue my invoices at the end of each month and I expect payment within 30 days.
Legal
All communication between us will remain confidential and will not be shared with third parties. I have no problem signing a non-disclosure agreement as long as it's not too vague or too restrictive in a way that will legally forbid me to work with other clients. You will own the source code and I will give it all to you. I do not force you to include my name anywhere in the project... It’s totally up to you.
