I'm Tyler Deaton, a freelance developer in Asheville, North Carolina. Since 2014 I've built custom themes, WooCommerce stores, and migrations for small businesses and nonprofits, and done the same work behind the scenes for agencies.
Website for a South Bend, Indiana wine bar and vineyard, covering its menu, events, wine club, private events, and gift cards. I designed and built it on Themify with Modern Events Calendar for recurring events, and handled the domain move from ironhandvineyard.com with path-preserving 301 redirects.

Restaurant website for Bistro 933, inside the Hilton Garden Inn in South Bend, Indiana, with on-page menus, catering, private dining, and reservation info. I built it on Themify with its own palette and type, then fixed a stylesheet collision and mobile column stacking across the site. I also researched online ordering vendors compatible with the hotel's Oracle Simphony POS.

Most projects start as one of these and end up touching two or three.
I've been the development partner behind Magnetic Strategy, THINKmarketing, and Studio 545. I work inside your process and your project tools, and your clients only see the result.
I've been building WordPress sites for more than ten years, first for local businesses and then as the developer agencies call when they need the code side handled.
Today my time is split between direct clients, mostly small businesses and nonprofits, and agency projects where I'm the developer their clients never meet. I use whatever fits the job: a custom theme, a page builder the client can manage, or a careful fix to the setup they already have. I don't rebuild things that only need repair.
The part clients mention most is the handoff. I document what I build, explain it in plain language, and stay reachable after launch, because things do break and someone has to pick up when they do.
