What I do

I’m a backend developer – like a mechanic for websites. I make things work. I’m committed to building websites that are easy to use, robust, and will support mission goals in the long term.

I’m not taking on new clients at the moment; I’m working at DevCollaborative.

Building websites

Whether you have an aging WordPress website, you’re migrating from another system, or starting from scratch, I can help you create an easy-to-use WordPress website that supports your mission.

Small fixes & new features

Need some new functionality on your website, or is something not working quite right? I can troubleshoot and figure out what’s wrong, or set up a new feature on your existing site.

Updates & maintenance

WordPress sites need regular updates to stay secure and keep working correctly. I can take care of updates and testing so you don’t need to worry about it.

Recent work

Some of the projects I’ve been working on, by myself and in collaboration with other freelancers and agencies.

This is me

Hi! My name is Clare Parkinson. I’ve been working with WordPress since 2010, and with database-driven web content management systems since the 90s.

I live in the western Chicago suburbs and am active in the local WordPress community. I’m an organizer for the local WP meetup: WordPress Naperville, and have been an organizer for WordCamp Chicago.

WordPress Naperville meetup is a friendly group of WP site owners, designers and developers who love to talk shop – join us in person or on Zoom and say hi!
