Rhys Wynne is a Welsh freelance WordPress developer living in a small village in the North West of England. Rhys co-organises the Manchester WordPress User Group, writes WordPress plugins and dips his toes into speaking. Rhys’ work tends to focus on performance, SEO and general back end WordPress and WooCommerce development for small and medium sized businesses and charities. Rhys also is passionate about a decentralised web and yearns to return to the days where everybody maintained their own blog. Especially if those blogs were WordPress sites. Away from WordPress, Rhys enjoys video games (both playing and making them), travelling, parkruns and playing cricket. You can find his WordPress services, newsletter and plugins at dwinrhys.com (Dwi’n rhymes with tween and Rhys rhymes with police) or find his less focussed ramblings and links to whatever social profiles are popular at rhys.wales.
