ROY SIVAN
WEB DEVELOPER
EXPERIENCE
Roy Sivan has been developing WordPress websites since 1999. He started at an early age with a passion for computers and moved into the web realm. He spent almost a decade working on SEO techniques and campaigns helping clients achieve top rankings before switching to become a full time developer.
Currently Roy specializes in WordPress and JavaScript focused projects at The Walt Disney Company. He is also a contributor to many open source projects, including some of his own. All open source can be found on his GitHub profile page (github.com/royboy789). Roy’s goal with any development project is to make sure the code is clean, modular, and optimized. Before starting on any code Roy makes sure that the business goals are going to be achieved with the functionality being added.
As Roy’s background includes marketing, business, and development, he is able to help your business by asking the right questions, challenging businesses to rethink what they think they need in order to optimize conversions or achieving their business goals. Roy is quick to ask why something may be needed and thinks of new solutions (even if they are more affordable) that can help achieve the same business goals.
The final goal for any project is to make sure that those who are going to use the new functionality are able to without any extensive learning curves. Having built websites for a wide range of tech savvy (and none) individuals, making a website or piece of functionality easy to work with is a key step Roy takes prior to deploying the new functionality.
