Hi,
I’m Iris.
WordPress designer and developer, founder of IG Web Development, and the person who answers when you email.
15+ years building websites
WordPress, start to finish
Accessible by default
Plain English, always
Columbia, South Carolina
Black-owned and woman-owned
The short version
I’ve been building websites for more than 15 years, first for clients in New York and now from Columbia, South Carolina. I make custom WordPress sites for writers, creatives, nonprofits and small businesses: people with a story to tell.
By day, I manage a portfolio of 1,600+ partner websites. Nights and weekends, I run IG Web Development, where every project gets my full attention from the first call to long after launch.
I care about the parts you can’t see. Your site should load fast, work for everyone (I build to accessibility standards by default), and be simple for you to update without calling me. When you do call me, you’ll get a straight answer in plain English.
How a project works
Free call
Thirty minutes to talk about your goals, timeline and budget. No pressure.
Plan & quote
A written scope, price and schedule, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
Design
Mockups of your key pages. Nothing gets built until you love them.
Build & review
Your site comes together on a private link you can click through and comment on.
Launch & care
We go live, I train you, and a Care+ plan keeps everything healthy if you want one.
