Since 2002, Watermelon Web Works has helped businesses build, repair, secure, maintain, and improve the websites they depend on every day.
We are based in the Portland metro area, and we do the kind of technical work that makes websites faster, cleaner, more stable, and more profitable. We help businesses fix broken websites, clean up messy code, redesign outdated sites, improve performance, and keep WordPress, WooCommerce, and Magento sites running smoothly.
If your website is slow, outdated, hacked, hard to manage, or simply not pulling its weight, we can help get it back on solid ground and moving in the right direction.

Web Development Services & Technical Support
We provide web development, troubleshooting, performance, and maintenance support throughout the country and in-person in the Portland metro area, including Portland, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Tigard, Hillsboro, and Vancouver, WA.
Most businesses do not need more vague web advice. They need someone who can look under the hood, figure out what is actually happening, and make the site work better. That is where we tend to shine.
Our core specialties include:
- Website Redesign: Cleaner layouts, stronger conversion paths, better mobile usability, and SEO-safe rebuilds.
- WordPress Development: Custom development, plugin troubleshooting, theme work, API integrations, and legacy code cleanup.
- WooCommerce Support: Checkout fixes, payment and shipping integrations, store performance, and e-commerce troubleshooting.
- Magento Optimization: Speed improvements, server configuration, caching, extension conflicts, and database stability.
- Website Maintenance & Security: Updates, monitoring, malware response, backups, and ongoing technical support.
Website Redesign & UX Improvements
An outdated website does not just look old. It can quietly cost you trust, leads, sales, and search visibility.
Our redesign work focuses on making websites feel cleaner, load faster, and guide visitors more naturally toward the next step. We care about how the site looks, but we care just as much about how it performs, how it ranks, and how easy it is for real people to use.
We also pay close attention to preserving existing SEO value during a redesign. A prettier website is not much help if it loses the rankings, traffic, and authority the old site already earned.
- Website redesigns and visual refreshes
- Mobile-first responsive improvements
- Core Web Vitals and page speed cleanup
- UX and UI improvements that help visitors take action
- SEO-safe rebuilds, redirects, and URL migration planning

Portland WordPress Development & Troubleshooting
WordPress is flexible, which is one of the reasons we love it. But that flexibility can also create a lot of technical debt over time.
Poorly built themes, too many plugins, abandoned code, slow hosting, broken integrations, and mystery errors can turn a simple business website into something frustrating and fragile.
We help businesses stabilize, improve, and extend WordPress websites so they are faster, easier to manage, and less likely to break at the worst possible time.
- Custom WordPress theme and block editor development
- Plugin troubleshooting and conflict resolution
- Database and performance optimization
- Third-party API integrations and workflow automation
- Legacy code cleanup, PHP updates, and site stabilization
- Practical developer support when something is broken or unclear

Portland WooCommerce E-commerce Support
WooCommerce can be a great fit for businesses that need flexibility and control. But when a WooCommerce store starts growing, the details matter.
Checkout problems, slow product pages, plugin conflicts, payment issues, shipping rules, tax integrations, and database bloat can all chip away at sales. Sometimes the store still technically “works,” but it feels clunky, slow, or unreliable to the people trying to buy from you.
We help WooCommerce stores run more smoothly, load faster, and provide a better buying experience from product page to checkout.
- WooCommerce setup, support, optimization, and scaling
- Checkout flow cleanup to reduce friction and abandoned carts
- Payment gateway, shipping, and tax integrations
- Performance tuning for product pages, category pages, and checkout
- Conversion-focused UX improvements
- Plugin and extension troubleshooting

Magento Development & Speed Optimization
Magento is powerful, but it is not forgiving. When the hosting environment, caching, extensions, database, or custom code are not dialed in, Magento can become slow, unstable, and expensive to manage.
We work on Magento sites that need serious technical troubleshooting, speed improvements, security updates, and infrastructure support. This is the kind of work where experience matters, because the obvious problem is not always the real problem.
- Magento speed optimization and full-page caching
- Server environment, Redis, Varnish, and caching configuration
- Extension conflict debugging and code audits
- Magento security patches and vulnerability remediation
- Database and backend performance stabilization
- High-availability infrastructure planning and consultation

Website Maintenance, Security & Hosting Management
A business website needs ongoing care. Updates, backups, security monitoring, uptime checks, performance review, and emergency support are not flashy, but they matter a lot when your site is tied to real leads, orders, bookings, or client trust.
We handle the technical background work that keeps business websites stable, secure, and online. The goal is simple: fewer surprises, fewer fires, and a website that keeps doing its job.
- WordPress core, plugin, and theme updates
- Security monitoring and malware response
- Offsite backups and disaster recovery planning
- Uptime and performance monitoring
- Hosting support and technical troubleshooting
- On-demand developer support when something needs attention
