Web Design, WordPress & Automation
Abubakar Zubair OkhayoleDesign Engineer, open to rolesEngineer by discipline, designer by obsession. Websites, online stores and automations that solve real business problems.
Three products I designed and built end to end, and what they did for the people who use them.
Most learning management systems fail Islamic academies because they assume pre-recorded videos rather than live Halaqah recitation. Al-Ibiewi LMS was engineered to bring live classes, Quran progress, attendance, and payments into one unified operating system.
My role/Product Design / Next.js / PostgreSQL
There was no existing website. Everything was designed in Figma and developed in Elementor around how prospective parents evaluate online Quran and Arabic programmes.
My role/UX Design / WordPress / CRM Automation
Zone A already had high offline sales globally for its handcrafted leather bags, but its existing website had yielded zero online orders despite recurring hosting fees. I engineered a lean, fast e-commerce architecture designed to capture organic search intent and convert visits into paid orders.
My role/WooCommerce / Technical SEO
I started out in graphic design and UI/UX, creating brand identities, marketing flyers, and screen layouts. I spent years obsessing over typography, colors, and layout rhythm so that every design looks intentional and feels effortless to use.

Static layouts only tell part of the story, so I expanded into motion design. Learning how elements should move and respond helped me create interfaces that feel alive and naturally guide people toward taking action.

Designing in Figma is great, but businesses need working websites. I started building with WordPress and Elementor to get sites live quickly, but I soon realized standard page builders had limits. So I learned how to build custom post types and relational database structures with Pods, which allowed me to build complex, dynamic sites without bloated code.

You know what?! A website is only as good as the actual results it brings in. That is why I dove into technical SEO so my clients could rank on Google, built WooCommerce stores that turn visitors into buyers, and set up automated workflows using n8n so that new leads, invoices, and notifications run smoothly on autopilot.

To remove limitations completely, I went through Meta's Front-End Developer program and mastered modern development with JavaScript, React, and clean code principles. Today, I combine my engineering background with modern AI and agentic workflows to build custom themes, bespoke web apps, and automated digital solutions that load fast and work without friction.
