Robert Baxter

Full-stack web developer and web designer building custom websites, WordPress builds, and modern frontend interfaces.

I design and build complete websites for businesses, agencies, and clients who need polished UI, clean code, and a dependable build process.

Services include Figma-led website design, frontend and backend development, WordPress CMS implementation, Elementor builds, and fully custom websites where the project needs more control.

About

From website design through to launch-ready builds.

Full-stack web developer and web designer working across website design, frontend development, backend functionality, and CMS implementation.

Projects are handled from concept to launch: planning the site structure, designing screens in Figma, preparing assets, building the front end, wiring up CMS or backend functionality, and shipping a site that is ready to use and easy to maintain. WordPress work can be delivered with Elementor or custom theme development, and fully custom builds are available when the brief needs more control.

Why Work With Me

A practical fit for work that needs design and delivery.

The goal is straightforward: build websites that look polished, work properly in production, and stay maintainable after launch.

Design and development in one workflow

From Figma planning and page structure through to frontend build, CMS setup, and launch.

Strong frontend execution

Clean layout, responsive behaviour, UI polish, and attention to how the finished site actually feels to use.

WordPress and Elementor when the project needs a CMS

Editor-friendly websites with practical content management, whether the build suits Elementor or a more custom WordPress setup.

Custom builds when templates are not enough

Comfortable adding bespoke frontend or backend functionality where the brief needs more than a standard site build.

Featured Work

Website design, full-stack delivery, and technical range in one portfolio.

A focused selection of website, CMS, and technical projects that show how I handle design, development, and launch-ready delivery.

How I Work

The site should look polished, work cleanly, and stay maintainable.

01

Start with structure: content, page hierarchy, responsive behaviour, and how the site will actually be edited or maintained.

02

Translate designs accurately into production UI, with attention to spacing, typography, interaction, and performance.

03

Choose the right build approach for the project: WordPress with Elementor, custom WordPress development, or a fully custom frontend build.

04

Keep delivery practical: clean code, maintainable setup, and a site that is ready to launch and easy to hand over.

Technical Range

The wider technical work strengthens the website work rather than distracting from it.

  • Alongside client website work, I also build interaction-heavy frontend and technical projects that sharpen UI implementation and systems thinking.
  • That wider range feeds back into website work through stronger frontend problem solving, cleaner interaction design, and more confident custom builds.
