Mateo Cruz Velasco
@mateocruzvelasco
I build high-performing WordPress and eCommerce sites, optimizing SEO, speed, and user experiences for growing businesses.
ColombiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a WordPress web developer with 5+ years of experience creating responsive, high-performing websites for startups and SMEs. I focus on turning Figma designs into pixel-perfect, performance-optimized builds.
Since Jan 2022, I’ve worked as a freelance and employee WordPress developer (fully remote), building 100+ websites including landing pages, e-commerce, booking systems, and corporate sites using WordPress and Elementor. I create dynamic content with JetEngine (custom post types and relationships) and ensure clients get strong, reliable functionality.
I’m deeply hands-on with SEO and analytics, providing full SEO optimization and integrating Google Analytics 4 and Search Console for client reporting. I also use SmartCrawl and Yoast to support SEO best practices.
Beyond WordPress development, I support migrations and ongoing maintenance—performance tuning, plugin updates, bug fixes, and troubleshooting for websites, emails, domains, and DNS. I’m also experienced with Shopify, Wix, and Squarespace, and I keep collaboration smooth with Git (basic) and a strong client support mindset.
