About Me
Hi, I'm Chris Astley - a freelance web developer specialising in high-performance e-commerce solutions
My Journey
With over a decade of experience in web development, I've helped businesses of all sizes build and optimize their online presence. My focus is on creating fast, reliable, and conversion-optimized websites that drive real business results.
I specialize in e-commerce platforms, particularly Magento 2, where I've delivered 100+ successful projects. I'm also experienced in WordPress, Shopify, and custom PHP development, allowing me to choose the right tool for each project.
My approach combines technical expertise with a strong focus on performance and user experience. Every website I build is optimized for speed, achieving 90-100 PageSpeed scores, because I believe that fast websites don't just rank better - they convert better too.

Deep expertise in Magento 2, including Hyvä Themes for lightning-fast storefronts. I understand the unique challenges of e-commerce development.
Clear Communication
