Bianca Pieterse
@biancapieterse
Experienced Web Developer specializing in WordPress, delivering secure, high-performance websites.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an experienced Web Developer with over a decade of hands-on front-end and back-end development, specializing in WordPress builds. I use my expertise in HTML, CSS3, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL to create responsive, secure, high-performance websites.
I custom-develop WordPress themes and modules, with strong experience using Divi and Elementor. I’m known as a practical problem-solver—optimizing performance, hardening security, fixing vulnerabilities, and supporting site migration and deployment.
From independent freelance work to cross-functional collaboration, I deliver projects end-to-end by communicating directly with clients, implementing Git version control, and deploying via cPanel, KonsoleH, and SSH. I also upskill consistently to improve my workflow and reliability, including server remediation and modern development tooling.
