Leon Stafford

Software developer in Australia. I made WP2Static and Lokl — a decade-plus of helping people turn WordPress into fast, safe, boring static sites, until Strattic acquired the project (it now lives on under Elementor).

These days I run a small product studio with an unusual staff: AI departments — engineering, marketing, finance, R&D — that plan, build, QA and ship real products every day while I direct. Not a demo. It ships to production.

Selected work

• WP2Static — WordPress static site generator. 1.4k stars, acquired by Strattic. I wrote most of it.
• Lokl — instant local WordPress development, Mac/Win/Linux.
• Accessible Minimalism — a Hugo theme (and WordPress port) built around accessibility-first minimalism. This site runs on it.
• Things To Do In Coober Pedy — a travel guide to Australia’s opal capital that scores 100 on Lighthouse mobile. Built and maintained by my AI staff.

Now

Building an AI-run company: autonomous department shifts, evidence-gated shipping, one human in the loop (me). If you want to talk about what that’s actually like — the parts that work and the parts that bite — I’m easy to reach.
