ABOUT VLAJA

Three ways a WordPress build goes wrong.

Most WordPress problems don’t begin with WordPress itself. They begin with decisions made before, during and after the build.

Vladimir Mladenovic, founder of Vlaja WordPress studio

Vladimir Mladenovic

WordPress Developer

The plugin pile

A plugin for every requirement soon turns into overlapping features, slower pages and difficult updates. Carefully chosen plugins and custom functionality keep the website focused on what it actually needs.

Design without development

A good design needs to work beyond the mockup. Design and development come together from the start, with consideration for how each page behaves, adapts and gets updated.

Build it and disappear

A website needs attention after launch. Ongoing maintenance and development keep it secure, reliable and ready for whatever comes next.

What do I do?

WordPress websites built properly from the ground up, with thoughtful design, maintainable code and an editing experience you can actually use.

More About Me

Working together

Two ways to work with me, both straightforward.

Some clients need a defined build. Others need ongoing WordPress support. I offer both, with clear scope, direct communication and realistic expectations.

  1. 01

    Clear scope

    Priorities, deliverables and timelines agreed with you before the work begins.

  2. 02

    Direct communication

    You speak directly with me, the person designing, developing and supporting your website.

  3. 03

    Practical process

    Organised work, regular progress updates and a clear understanding of what happens next.

  4. 04

    Built for ownership

    Your website is built so you can manage your content confidently, with a clear handover and practical guidance.

Ongoing development and support

Monthly retainer

Regular WordPress development, improvements and maintenance for businesses and agencies that need consistent support.

  • Priority development time
  • Performance maintenance
  • New features and functionality
  • WordPress maintenance
