Websites built to earn a client's trust — and their signature.
I design and build custom WordPress and Shopify sites for law firms, immigration consultancies, fintech platforms, and consumer brands — the kind of businesses where a visitor has to trust you before they'll book, buy, or apply.
A developer who builds for regulated, trust-heavy work.
I'm Ian Mbanefo — web developer, working as Prime CyberDuck — serving clients across Nigeria, Canada, the UK, the US, and Europe. Most of my clients operate where trust is the product — legal advice, immigration consulting, financial comparison — so the website's job isn't just to look good, it's to remove hesitation.
I build custom, from scratch: hand-coded WordPress themes and plugins, hand-coded Shopify Liquid, no page-builder shortcuts. That means booking flows that don't drop leads, forms that meet compliance requirements like CASL, and pages structured so both visitors and search engines understand what a business actually does.
Currently open to new client work, with a preference for international projects.
