About
WordPress developer with over a decade of real client work
I'm Jade Alombro — based in Montreal, building custom WordPress websites and WooCommerce solutions for businesses that need something reliable, well-built, and actually maintained.
Start a projectHow I got here
I studied computer science and first got into CMS development through Joomla. After graduating, I landed a job where the team used WordPress — and it stuck. That was 2011. I've been working in WordPress ever since, across a range of clients, project types, and technical challenges.
Over the years I've worked with small businesses, ecommerce brands, and law firms — clients who needed more than a template, and who wanted someone who could understand what their site actually needed to do.
Today I take on a small number of projects at a time — a mix of new builds, WooCommerce work, and ongoing support for existing clients. I'd rather do fewer things well than spread too thin.
Who I work with
Most of my clients are small to mid-sized businesses — law firms that need a professional, trustworthy presence; ecommerce brands that need a WooCommerce store that's actually usable; and service businesses that need a site that works hard without being difficult to maintain.
What they tend to have in common: they know what their business needs, they want a developer who listens, and they don't want to manage a complicated back-and-forth to get there.
How I approach client work
Collaborative and clear
I keep clients informed throughout the project, ask questions before making assumptions, and make sure everyone has a clear picture of where things stand.
Thoughtful and detail-oriented
I pay attention to structure, performance, and usability — not just the visual surface. The details that don't always get noticed are often the ones that make a site work well over time.
Practical and business-minded
I approach every project with the business goals in mind, not just the design brief. A good website should support real operations and real outcomes.
Reliable and responsive
I follow through on what I commit to, communicate honestly if something changes, and try to make the process straightforward for clients who have many other things to manage.
How I communicate
I believe that good development work depends on good communication. Before starting any project, I take time to understand what the business actually needs — not just what's been requested on the surface.
Throughout a project, I give clear timelines, flag anything that might affect scope or schedule early, and invite feedback at each stage rather than just delivering at the end.
At handoff, I make sure the client knows how to manage their site and has everything they need to move forward independently.
Development standards
Clean, maintainable code
I write code that can be understood, updated, and built on — by me or by another developer.
Performance-conscious
Fast load times and efficient implementation are built in from the start, not bolted on.
SEO-friendly structure
Proper heading hierarchy, semantic HTML, and metadata give every site a strong technical SEO foundation.
Accessible and responsive
Every site is built to work well across devices and to meet reasonable accessibility standards.
On using AI tools
I use AI tools as part of my workflow — no hedging about it. They're genuinely useful — for exploring approaches, moving faster on certain tasks, catching things I might have missed, and working through problems more efficiently. Used well, they raise the quality and pace of the work.
But AI doesn't replace the judgment that comes from building real projects over many years. It doesn't know your business, understand your users, or make the decisions that determine whether a site is actually good. Every architectural choice, implementation decision, and quality call is still made by me.
I think the honest position is this: AI is a capable tool in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing, and a liability in the hands of someone who doesn't. The craft still matters. The experience still matters. The tools just move things forward faster when the foundation is solid.
