About Neil Arnold
I'm Neil Arnold
Web Developer & Designer
Owner of Northeast Media Collective
With over 25 years of programming experience, I’m a seasoned WordPress developer, founder of Northeast Media Collective, and dual US/UK citizen – bringing global perspective to every project.
Based in Portland, Maine, I build high-performance, SEO-optimized WordPress sites with accessible, mobile-friendly designs, custom plugins, and REST-API integrations.
Beyond coding, I’m an avid photographer, European traveler, Olympic-lifting enthusiast, and proud cat parent to Theo.
Always curious and creative, I blend technical rigor with clean, user-centric design to build sites that engage and perform, wherever your audience may be.
