Hi — I’m Mauro Vargas Jr., a Colorado-based web developer and consultant focused on building fast, modern WordPress websites that actually help businesses grow.
I run Flatirons WordPress Studio, where I partner with small businesses, nonprofits, and agencies to deliver websites that are clean, secure, SEO-friendly, and easy to manage. My work often sits at the intersection of design + performance + marketing, which means I’m not just building pages — I’m building systems that support leads, donations, sales, and long-term content growth.
What I do
I help teams with:
- WordPress builds & rebuilds (themes, blocks, page builders, custom components)
- Headless WordPress + Next.js setups (WPGraphQL, ACF, modern frontends)
- SEO foundations (technical SEO, site structure, metadata, schema, indexing basics)
- Performance optimization (Core Web Vitals, caching, image strategy, clean front-end output)
- WooCommerce & revenue features (product pages, checkout improvements, coupons, cart recovery)
- Security & reliability (roles/permissions, backups, monitoring, updates, hardening)
- DevOps & hosting (Docker-based workflows, AWS deployments, Cloudflare, SSL)
How I work
My approach is straightforward:
- Audit first — inventory what’s running, what’s connected, and what we shouldn’t break.
- Build with a plan — clear phases, clear scope, and a structure that scales.
- Launch responsibly — performance, SEO, and security baked in, not bolted on later.
- Support after launch — because websites are never “done,” they evolve.
Why clients hire me
People bring me in when they want someone who can:
- move quickly without being reckless,
- communicate clearly (no mystery tech speak),
- and deliver a site that’s both good-looking and technically solid.
I’m comfortable jumping into existing codebases, untangling messy setups, and improving what’s already there — or building something clean from scratch.
Let’s build something that works
If you need help improving an existing WordPress site, launching a new one, or creating a headless setup that performs, I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
