Chance Corbeil

Full stack developer + WordPress specialist in Portland, Oregon

I’m a seasoned web developer with 17+ years of experience building, optimizing, and maintaining websites that are fast, accessible, and user-focused. Specializing in WordPress, I create custom themes, plugins, and scalable solutions for businesses, nonprofits, and public transit agencies.

Over the last five years at Trillium Solutions (acquired by Optibus), I’ve developed public transit websites, interactive maps, and GTFS-integrated tools used daily by riders. My expertise includes improving site performance, SEO, UX/UI, ecommerce, and accessibility, meeting WCAG Level AA standards. I’ve established organization-wide accessibility processes, standardized theme development, and built reusable Gutenberg blocks to accelerate delivery without compromising quality.

I’m passionate about clear communication, long-term site stewardship, and making the web accessible to everyone. Whether managing DNS and hosting, building complex integrations, or training clients, I approach every project with a blend of technical precision and creative problem-solving.

Communicating with clients and team members is an essential skill for my success as a developer. I work well with others to communicate project expectations, budgets, and timelines. I’ve worked closely with many projects as the sole project manager and developer.

If you are looking for an expert WordPress developer with frontend development and client communication skills, I am a reliable choice.
