> Custom WordPress themes & plugins_
Building for the web professionally since 2000 (26+ years), for businesses directly and as a behind-the-scenes development partner for design agencies and dev firms. Need extra development capacity for your agency's clients? I can serve your agency's development needs under your brand. I do what I'm good at, so you're free to do what you're good at. You work directly with the person writing your code: no account managers, no outsourcing, no surprises.
Most of our work lives in WordPress, and we've seen (and fixed) it all as the platform has grown. When off-the-shelf won't cut it, we write it from scratch.
Web apps, tools and back-office systems built to fit how your business actually works.
Plugins and features you can't buy off the shelf, written cleanly and update-safe.
Pixel-accurate themes from your design, or a fresh responsive look for an aging site.
Malware, spam redirects, injected code or a blacklisted domain? We clean it and lock it down.
Move hosts, platforms or PHP versions with zero lost content and minimal downtime.
A real developer on call. Updates, backups, monitoring and quick fixes when you need them.
Help visitors get answers faster with an AI chat assistant and smarter, AI-powered search on your own site.
Describe the problem in plain English. We'll recommend the simplest path, even if that's "you don't need us."
Ask a questionSpam pages, strange redirects, a red "Deceptive site ahead" warning or a host suspension. We find every backdoor, clean files and database, get you off blacklists, and harden the site so it stays clean.
At efishinsea, we build professional web applications that welcome your audience and clearly showcase your organization, products and services, from simple redesigns to database-driven commerce, custom integrations and content-managed sites.
“I work for you. Let me do what I'm good at so you can be free to do what you're good at.”
— Sam Miller, founder
That's the whole idea. You shouldn't have to become a part-time web developer to keep your site fast, secure and working. Clients stay for years because the work is fast, the code is clean, and questions get answered by the developer, in plain English. Our goal is excellent, timely service at fair prices and a genuinely positive experience.
A quick call or email to understand goals, budget and timeline.
A clear proposal: scope, milestones and a fixed or hourly estimate.
Staging site, regular check-ins, clean and documented code.
Go-live, training, then updates and support as long as you need.

Whenever I’ve had to work with other developers, I’ve wished I could bring Sam in. When I have a choice, he’s the person I want on the project. He’s also a longtime friend, but this recommendation comes from two decades of trusting him with my own reputation on the line. I wouldn’t keep putting him in front of clients and colleagues if he hadn’t earned that confidence.
I recommend Sam without hesitation. For a personal reference, message me on LinkedIn.

Sam has worked on two of my companies sites and has done great work. He is super responsive, always willing to help when things that I am not techy enough to understand are happening, and was super patient while I was still learning how website design and hosting works. Would highly recommend Sam!
