A day in a WebOps life..
Client call.
They ask, “Who’s the developer on this project?”
Five faces turn to me.
I smile. “I’m not a developer. I’m the one who makes sure everything doesn’t fall apart.”
Pause.
“Oh… so you’re IT?”
No. I’m not IT. I’m not Dev. I’m not Support.
I’m WebOps—the person holding your entire WordPress site together when everyone else is asleep.
When the contact form breaks at 9:47 PM and no one knows why—I know why.
When a “quick CSS fix” breaks mobile menus for users in Ohio on Safari—I see the pattern.
When your homepage loads slow—it’s because Marcus uploaded a 4MB hero image. I fix it without a fuss.
No ticket. No drama. Just performance restored.
(Marcus gets a thumbs up emoji. Everyone’s happy.)
I live in the space between problems and prevention.
Between “Can we launch Friday?” and “Why is this broken?”
Between a designer’s vision and a developer’s reality.
Between your team’s dream campaign—and your server’s actual limits.
I don’t build websites.
I keep them healthy. I keep them fast. I keep them online.
That’s website operations. And that’s what I do.
I track plugin health, monitor site speed, spot SEO issues, and make sure your website doesn’t embarrass you at 3AM on a Sunday.
You never see the error logs I read.
You never hear about the backup that saved your skin.
But I see it all. And I fix it—before it becomes a problem.
The devs get the credit. The designers get the claps.
I get the invisible win.
So no, I’m not a developer.
I’m the reason your website still works.
