About Christopher Eklund
Full-stack web developer & consultant building React, Next.js, and WordPress-powered sites for performance and SEO-critical, content-heavy platforms.


I'm Chris Eklund, a full-stack web developer & consultant who builds and modernizes content-heavy web platforms for work that can't afford to break. Over the last 15+ years, I've designed and maintained sites that need to be fast, stable, and reliable for corporate communications, advocacy campaigns, reputation-sensitive matters, and high-stakes client work.
Most of my work sits where modern web development meets search and reputation. I use React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and WordPress to ship sites, automations, and dashboards, then tie them into technical SEO, analytics, and reporting so teams can see how their message is actually landing.
I'm used to picking up projects when the brief is fuzzy and the stakes are high. Executives, lawyers, and communications teams hand me complex requirements, and my job is to turn that into a practical technical plan: standing up a new marketing or campaign site, modernizing an existing WordPress install, wiring up monitoring and reporting, or hardening a system so it behaves predictably under load.
Earlier in my career, I built operations and data tools for telecom companies and led software development and SEO at PR and reputation firms. That mix of infrastructure, product, and search experience shapes how I think about performance, reliability, and what shows up when someone types a name into a search bar..
