Chris Richter

Web Designer & Developer

About Me

I’m a seasoned web designer and developer with over 15 years of experience building fast, user-friendly websites — with a strong focus on the WordPress platform. I handle both design and development, crafting custom themes and block-based editing experiences tailored to the needs of clients and teams.

Most of my work has been in collaboration with marketing agencies, where I’ve led small teams to deliver high-performing sites that are cleanly designed and easy to maintain. I prioritize scalable, modular code, and enjoy enhancing user interfaces with subtle animation using the GSAP JavaScript library.

Beyond WordPress, I also have experience in graphic design, motion graphics, and UI/UX — and I’m always exploring new tools and frameworks to push my skills further.
