Hi! I'm Jeremy Marchandeau,
a WordPress Developer specialized in Maintenance
& Website Optimization.

About

I'm a passionate person with a strong desire to take on any challenge.

Profile

I’m a WordPress Developer, Technical Support Specialist and QA Analyst based in Nice, on the French Riviera. I work for Whodunit, a renowned French agency, specialized in WordPress websites. I also have the Opquast Certification of Expert in Web Quality.

Previously, I provided technical support for two big actors in the WordPress ecosystem, The Events Calendar and LearnDash. I also co-founded with my Kiwi wife Tiger & June, a web agency specialized in frontend development and custom WordPress themes.

WordPress is more than a job, it's a passion: I’m the co-organizer of a Meetup group dedicated to WordPress in my local area since 2014, and I've co-organized the first WordCamp held in Nice, in October 2018.

In my spare time, I love watching rugby, practicing kung-fu, skiing as fast as I can, reading Beatnik literature, traveling around the world, going to post-rock shows, learning Japanese and plenty of other things 😄

Expertise

I strive to make WordPress websites as fast & secure as possible.

I've been working in the WordPress industry for a decade. I've created, customized, maintained and debugged hundreds of sites. I have used dozens and dozens of plugins. I've written thousands of lines of code. Thanks to my experience, my skills and my knowledge of WordPress, I'm confident that I can take your website to the next level 😎

  • Technical Support

    Whether a site is down or really slow, I can intervene to find the origin of the problem and eventually solve it — or at the very least suggest solutions. Furthermore, I can deal with other technical tasks such as site migration, website hardening, staging site creation, etc.

  • Website Maintenance

    As weird as it sounds, I love maintaining WordPRess websites. You can count on me to proceed with safe updates, daily backups, security hardening and all these different tasks that can be head-scratching, risky and time consuming.

  • Theme Customization

    I can customize any theme to better suit the owner's brand or desires - whether it's a custom theme or a premium theme. Depending on the needs, I can also add functionality to the site. Besides, I can code a tailor-made WordPress theme from a web design made on a PSD or figma file, with performance, security, accessibility and SEO-friendliness at the center of my concerns.

  • Managed Hosting

    Not only can I fully take care of the hosting of your WordPress website so that the owner doesn't need to worry about things like FTP or database, but I can also optimize its overall performance and security.

  • SEO Optimization

    While I can't do miracles, I can definitely make any WordPress website as SEO-friendly as it can be. I can also accompany the owner and recommend them ways to improve their online visibility.

  • QA Analyst

    As a QA analyst, I can write and run manual and automated tests, to ensure the software quality of the product.

Jérémy is a first-rate problem solver who can be counted on to tackle the difficult problems. Though his troubleshooting skills are first-rate, what I actually most enjoy about working with him is his calm, measured personality: he's that rare type who maintains perspective even in stressful situations. This shines through in the methodical way in which he approaches and solves technical issues and, just as importantly, the way he communicates. I look forward to the next time I can work with him!

I have worked with Jeremy to rebuilt the websites of our selling points: splendid-nice.com, gounod-nice.com and spa-splendid.com. It was a real pleasure to work with Jeremy on these projects. He has perfectly understood our issues, and the elements we wanted to highlight on our websites for professional activities. He really cared about the attempts we had, and gave us a lot of good advices. We are still working with Jeremy for the maintenance of those websites. He is always reactive and efficient on our demands. I have no doubt we will continue our partnership for a long time.
