Developer,
Contributor,
Content &
Creator.
Hello world! My name is Elliott, I’m a developer, meetup organiser, and educator building WordPress and WooCommerce solutions that empower the community from solo makers to growing businesses and enterprise teams.
what I do
Many things not all at the same time
Husband, Dad of two boys, very keen cook, musician, producer and business owner but if there is one thing I love to do and that is get involved with the WordPress community…
I organise the WordPress meetup in Cheltenham, UK, helping to connect and foster a local community of WordPress enthusiasts. My goal as a meetup organizer is to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where individuals of all skill levels can come together to:
I’m a WordPress core contributor, theme developer, plugin developer, pattern author and all-around WordPress & WooCommerce enthusiast. I also create educational YouTube videos for WordPress and WooCommerce enthusiasts, where I share tips, tutorials, and insights to help others deepen their understanding and skills.
The business side of my work as a professional web developer. Alongside my wife and business partner at Squareone Software, we offer tailored web development and application development. With decades of experience, we help businesses achieve their digital goals by delivering unique and functional solutions while maintaining a client-centred approach. Our focus is on quality, innovation, and results.
YouTube
Join me on YouTube for regular WordPress updates, insights, and news.
I dig into WordPress to discover and share. User-centric to help WordPress users learn, grow and scale, and developer-centric walkthroughs where we open the source and find out why the documented behaviour and the actual behaviour disagree.

SKills
WordPress done the WordPress way.
01
Plugin Development
Custom plugins built on core APIs, tested, documented, and small enough that the next developer can read the whole thing.
02
WooCommerce
Stores that survive a busy week — checkout work, integrations, and untangling the plugin stack that grew there by accident.
03
Teaching & Talks
Workshops, WordCamp and meetup sessions, and one-to-one training for teams who would rather understand it than outsource it.
04
Content & Community
Running the local meetup, writing things down in public, and making videos that answer the question rather than pad the runtime.
About
Over two decades & still reading the source.
I am a WordPress and WooCommerce developer based in Cheltenham UK. Most of my work is the unglamorous kind: plugins that do one job, stores that need to stop falling over, and codebases someone else left behind.
I organise the local WordPress meetup, speaker, and teach wherever people will have me. The thread through all of it is the same: build things that empower the community, from solo makers running their first site to growing businesses and enterprise teams who need it to hold under load.
If something here is useful to you, take it. If it is broken, tell me and I will fix it.
