Wordpress web design. Freelance specialized in Wordpress, DIVI and Woocommerce
Wordpress / DIVI / Woocommerce
WORDPRESS
Around 30% of the world’s websites are built using Wordpress (60% if we only consider those built with CMS – Content Management Systems). Wordpress provides a high degree of customization, performance, and security.
DIVI
Wordpress web design and its combination with the DIVI visual builder (100% responsive) make it easy for you to manage changes in the future, without any knowledge of coding. My services include the DIVI license and several premium plugins for Wordpress at no extra cost.
WOOCOMMERCE
One of the most widespread and best-valued tools for e-commerce that allows you to implement secure, robust, and fully functional online shops. Whether you own a physical shop or not, open your products or services catalogue to the world and start selling online.
Visual Identity / UX
The set of design elements in a website (logo, typography, images, colours, etc) help to create the visual identity of your project
UX (User Experience): Together with this visual identity, we will develop a clear, simple and attractive navigation to improve the user experience on your website.
SEO
A good SEO (Search Engine Optimization) strategy will better position your website in search engines like Google, and in this way attract potential customers. My focus is on the on-site SEO, carrying out actions to improve the SEO ranking of your website.
SEO is a science in itself and achieving a good ranking in search results can be a complicated task. It depends principally on what you do, what your competitors do and on Google’s algorithm, which is updated frequently. I will share some advice and simple actions for you to continue to improve your ranking in the future.
Communications
For communication of all types (whether through the web, social networks, emails, publications, blog posts, etc.) it is essential to take care with language while sharing clear messages – that include calls to action – and always keeping in mind the target audience we are addressing.
Speed / Performance
Website performance is essential. Users don’t wait. If a web doesn’t load, they will try a different one. Furthermore, loading speed is one of the factors that Google uses to determine ranking in its search results.
The use of tools such as WP Rocket cache and Imagify (both included in my services), along with other actions, will allow us to optimize resources and achieve high performance and loading speed.

More about me?
My name is Rafa Ramos. I was born in Córdoba (Andalusia), but in the last decade my ‘base camp’ has moved between Valladolid, Granada, Amsterdam, and São Paulo.
I am very committed to social and environmental justice, as well as being passionate about music, cookery, and my vegetable garden.
I have been working with web technologies, communications, and digital marketing for more than 15 years. During this time, I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of environments and realities. I have worked for local and international projects, communicating in both Spanish and English with people from all over the world.
During my years in Amsterdam, I was responsible for the digital work of the communications team of an international organisation with a focus on social and environmental justice.
In addition to developing my work in the Netherlands and neighbouring countries such as Belgium, this position opened-up the possibility of working in Brazil, Indonesia, Nigeria, Uruguay, etc., sharing spaces and experiences with people locally and from other regions of the planet.
Along the way, I have continued to gain experience as a web designer, and I’ve also improved my skills in SEO, digital marketing, graphic design, social media, mailings, mobile app development, audio/video recording and editing, etc.
Working in environments with such diverse needs has provided me with a wide range of skills.
My learning is ongoing and not a week goes by without me applying something new or discovering a better way of carrying out a certain task.
Every activity we carry out has an impact.
We are responsible for deciding if that impact will be positive.
I work with hosting services from companies that not only offer an excellent service, but also operate more sustainably than others, using clean energy and focusing on the reduction of energy consumption.
Small details can change a whole approach. Perhaps your project offers something completely different – something that makes it special and stand-out from the rest – while at the same time creating a positive impact on society. Differentiate yourself from others!
MY PASSIONS
In fact, I am a restless and curious person. I love music and I have been a guitarist and bass player in several bands, composing and playing music wherever I go. I really enjoy my modest home studio, where I can spend hours plugged in, recording, and editing tracks.
This passion also led me to start recording and editing videos.
I love nature and enjoy it whenever I can; appreciating the changes that the different seasons bring.
An advocate for social and environmental justice, I am also a great lover of cooking but, without a doubt, what nourishes me most is taking care of my vegetable garden, learning about other cultures, and supporting other people to achieve their goals.
MY MOTIVATION
I believe that small actions, when brought together, can lead to big changes.
What motivates me most is to create, to grow ideas from scratch, the possibility of forming a community around an initiative that I believe in.
MY PURPOSE
I aim to support people to achieve their goals by creating digital projects that impact society and the environment in a positive way.

“I have had the opportunity to work with Rafa in Farmsterdammers, a local collaborative grassroots project in the city of Amsterdam that promotes agroecology, urban agriculture, seed exchange and food sovereignty in general. Together with Rafa – who started this wonderful initiative – we have created a large community of people committed to the cause. Rafa demonstrated his creativity, web design and social network skills from the beginning of the project, reaching a large audience through the optimization of both visual elements and the written message on the website and social media. We certainly look forward to working with him on future projects”
