Artem SAVART – WordPress Developer for Affiliate Marketing and Online Media
Hi everyone, I’m Artem, Full Stack WordPress developer with tendencies towards traffic sites. In the past, owner of medical portals monetised through nutra-offers, owner of a native advertising agency and later for a few years programmer on a major review site for branded traffic.
Somewhere during those times I realised that what inspires me most is developing all sorts of non-standard things that simplify processes and produce significant results.
I’m currently developing my own WordPress template that can be used to launch multifunctional portals in any niche in a couple of days, with a review system, customisable review tables, personal accounts, and so on.
This is a long-term task, as its flexibility requires detailed elaboration of all possible options and settings. And despite the presence of some passive income, I would be more comfortable to exchange my knowledge, skills, experience and the necessary part of time for permanent cooperation with a project from the affiliate-marketing industry or an online-media and turn my WordPress template development into a hobby.
I probably won’t sell my soul, but I’ll gladly rent out all my skills and experience on a long term lease =)
If you are an affiliate team, affiliate network or online media and you have an SEO department, we could probably be useful to each other for ongoing co-operation. Contact me in a convenient way, I would be glad to meet you.

This site is made with one specific purpose – to find the right team for cooperation, but life is not limited to this, and since you came here, then perhaps you are also interested in affiliate marketing and making money online.
Core expertise
Custom Functionality
Review Cards
Detailed information about a company, product, service or any other type of content, which not only simplify the perception of information due to detailed tables and thematic blocks, but also help to promote in search engines. It even happens that pieces of the table get into the snippet, thereby expanding it, and sometimes there are also affiliate links with an internal redirect (that is, bypassing the site user can become a referral). I am able to make such functionality as dynamic and customizable as needed, both with the ACF plugin and using native WordPress functions.
Ratings & directories
Based on data from tables or any other information from the site, it is possible to make various ratings and directories. Both by manually creating customized filters for content selection, and by generating virtual pages according to predefined criteria. All this, in addition to user-friendliness and supplementary monetization of already acquired visitors, can also attract additional traffic for more specific queries. Intuitively, or even better, based on queries from the semantic core, it is possible to find suitable topics for such pages in almost any niche.
Filters & Search Forms
When the information on the site is well structured and especially if custom fields are used for this purpose – it is a real pleasure to make convenient search forms. With or without page reloading, with or without changing the URL, conditions for filtering, conditions for results output – all these questions are for the SEO-expert and they are based on the tasks set by him, and it is possible to realize any logic through custom development without any unnecessary plug-ins. Proper, well thought out and optimized database queries will make the filter or the internal search engine as fast as possible.
Forms & Ajax
Actually, my favorite part of development is linking PHP, JavaScript and CSS. And the smaller and more flexible the code is, the more satisfied I am with it. With the help of this bundle I gladly make any dynamic forms, with multi-level conditions on the availability of certain fields, several stages of filling (if necessary), getting the filled information where it needs to go (database, new content on the site, CRM, mail, etc.), as well as further triggers, cookies, notifications, webhooks and any logic that is required.
User Accounts
I have long since given up using any plugins to improve registration, create personal accounts and additional internal functionality for users, because I create all of this from scratch for a particular project according to the already developed patterns. Registration, login, password recovery – all this is done via Ajax without reloading the page (but with on-the-fly updating of the necessary interface elements), and the sections and content of the personal account depend strictly on the tasks set, corresponding to the real needs, and they have nothing unnecessary. Authorization and account creation via third-party services (Google, Facebook, Linkedin and many others) can be connected without any problems and without unnecessary plugins, and any desired fields can be displayed in the registration form.
Reviews & Comments
Not many people like the default comments in WordPress, not to mention the fact that it has absolutely no additional functionality. Of course, you can extend it with plugins, but even here you have to make some compromises, so I prefer my own custom code based on real needs. Whether you need to finalize the comment form and its access conditions, or build a multi-functional review system – I have a lot of experience in all this. I would also mention the ability to generate virtual pages based on reviews and comments, which are quite indexed by search engines and bring traffic on low-frequency queries.
Configurable Items
When a project is large or there are many of them, creating template-based customizable solutions that use and display entered data according to predefined logic can help reduce time and eliminate human error. For example, in the review site template that I am currently developing, I strongly use this approach, while optimizing the code in such a way as to take into account further development and gradual increase of functionality, which is updated on the final sites via a button in the admin dashboard.
Any Blocks & Landing Pages
With the arrival of the Gutenberg-blocks system in WordPress, the creation of various kinds of landing pages has become a highly enjoyable process. You can develop them both with native WordPress tools and with the help of, for example, the ACF plugin for custom fields, but in both cases it allows you to significantly optimize your work on sites and meet the layout, marketing and SEO requirements as accurately as possible without any compromises. Of course, blocks and landings can be organized using specialized plugins, but the abundance of unnecessary code on the frontend is always a strong argument for me in favor of a custom solution. Sometimes it’s even faster and always of better quality.
CRM & Automation
For me, WordPress is a real and well-designed, well-tested framework. It has everything you need for the most creative and individual approach to the project implementation, if you do it through your own unique code based on real tasks. And this applies not only to websites – you can build a unique service that optimizes certain processes, create your own CRM based on your own unique business workflows, rather than settle for generic solutions or custom, but expensive and difficult to implement ones. And for me, such tasks are a real paradise on earth, as I love to simplify life and save time for myself and others through automation.
Layout
Pixel-Perfect
Designers’ pain when their margins, dimensions and other points are not taken into account. Many of them have already resigned themselves to the fact that the final layout will look different than they intended. In my work, I do not try to pay attention to this – for me it is just an important point, and taking into account all the nuances has been automatic for a long time. And if some points seem controversial, I clarify them with the designer in advance, and in the end, the layout fully corresponds to the initial idea.
Mobile First & Responsive Design
I still remember the days when you paid separate money for a mobile version of a website, and it was often on a separate subdomain. Fortunately, those times are gone and today, in most niches, users are favoring mobile devices, which gives us more opportunities to attract them into our sales funnels. But it also obliges us to have a perfect responsive layout to accommodate all possible screen resolutions, which is something I gladly do when developing websites.
Proper Structure
Before I start making a layout, I define the common elements and plan it based on the principle: minimum unnecessary code. Because the less code there is, the smaller the file is, and the more logical and dynamic the structure is, the faster the page will render in the browser. And these are not trifles, because sometimes they can significantly affect the user experience and PageSpeed Score, which can negatively affect both promotion and monetization.
Bulk Tasks
Automatic Tasks
Of course, you should not make a cult out of it, but, as a rule, in many situations, transferring any repetitive actions to automatic mode makes sense, especially when a certain logic has already been established and all conditions and pitfalls have been identified. It can both help in eliminating the human factor and, consequently, errors when working with data, and significantly free up time resources. And sometimes it can also improve the quality of employees’ work.
Parsing & Autoposting
If it is clear where from, for what and in what form to parse and use in the future any information, be it reviews, articles, specifications or analytical data or anything else, then the organization of the process in automatic mode can allow you to get a competitive advantage in various areas. Although sometimes it is not immediately obvious how best to eliminate source blocking and how to handle possible errors in the information received during parsing, I nevertheless love such tasks. It is always a kind of a challenge, and after their successful realization there comes a deep satisfaction.
Template-based Solutions
It’s a great approach when you need to scale the results of an already well-experienced pattern. For example, well-performing landing pages or types of sites can be packaged into template solutions that are quickly deployed and, after a short customization, fully adjusted to a particular topic, which significantly reduces costs and accelerates growth.
Import/Export
It is often necessary to transfer data from one place to another. Sometimes the formats of the sending and receiving parties do not match and conversion is necessary. And sometimes the data itself needs to be treated or re-sorted in some way before being imported. All this is not a problem when developing a custom solution for specific tasks.
Big Data
You can find an approach to everything, including mass manipulations with large amounts of data. Here, as a rule, speed and maximum error exclusion are of primary importance, which requires careful planning and multi-layer testing before launch, but in the end, the cost and time savings will more than pay for the efforts in the near future.
Integrations
Payment Gateways
If a payment gateway service has an API, it can usually be fully integrated into a website, not only by incorporating it seamlessly into the design, but also by performing error-free data exchange between the website and the service. Most often lately I’ve been connecting PayPal, Stripe, and cryptocurrencies, but past experiences have varied and it’s not too hard to figure out something new. I once even developed an NFT payment via Paypal, with tokens automatically transferred to the buyer on the OpenSea marketplace.
External CRM
A convenient option when you need to collect and classify information from different sites in one place. Of course, this single CRM itself can be developed on WordPress for specific needs, but with existing ones, as a rule, you can easily set up integration and quality data exchange in both directions.
TDS & Analytics
Simple analytics can be organized on WordPress without resorting to third-party services, but of course my favorite bundle is WordPress and Keitaro TDS. When I had my advertising agency, I remember that I even developed a call tracking system to track traffic to clinics using WordPress, Keitaro and OnlinePBX. Depending on the task, you can organize content matching as well as collecting analytics and all the necessary data, segmenting leads, and more.
Affiliate Networks
Integrations with affiliate networks can be not only at the level of sending them leads via webhooks. It is also possible to collect from them the latest information about the offers, personal account balance and other data available via API. This can be extremely effective when working with a large number of affiliate networks, both for monitoring and for finding and improving weaknesses (for example, to compare the work of different call centers with this or that offer).
Even if there’s no API
When a service has an API, it greatly simplifies integration, but sometimes it can be organized even without it. For example, it is possible to check information through a combination of Cron, PHP and JavaScript, to process notifications received by E-mail. I’ve done different things in my practice – one way or another it is almost always possible to find a solution to the problem and bypass limitations.
Multilingual Sites
Automatic Translations
Modern technologies allow you to significantly reduce time and money spent on content production and, especially, on high-quality translation of texts. My choice for this task is Deepl, but any other less expensive online translators can be set up for automatic translation either on the fly (with saving to the database) or via server automatic tasks – it all depends on the specific needs for a particular project.
Knowledge of Several Languages
English, of course, but I also speak fluent French and have learned Ukrainian. My native language is Russian, I remember a little bit of Italian and understand it in writing, and just a little bit of German. All this not only makes my life richer, but also allows me to understand the structure of other languages without much difficulty, which in conjunction with modern translation technologies opens up great opportunities for the creation and development of multisite systems and projects for different regions. My experience in linguistics also helps in localizing interfaces, which can be as critical for SEO as the content itself.
WMPL or Alternatives Implementation
Multi-language versions can be built in different ways – sometimes it is enough to automatically translate the content of all pages into various languages, sometimes it is necessary to separate language versions, because the content itself differs depending on the region, sometimes it is necessary to build not only language versions, but also regional versions with several languages (Belgium, Canada, etc.) The right approach, of course, is desirable to determine at the planning stage, but also on the live project it is not a big problem to change everything without affecting SEO – in both cases, I have the relevant experience.
SEO-Friendly
Experience with Profitable Websites
In my past I used to have (and hopefully will have in the future) my own content sites that were actively monetized by affiliate programs. Also, for a few years I worked as a programmer on a major review site with even stronger monetization through affiliate programs, which also imposed a certain love and excitement for this topic.
Schema.org Markup
Sometimes markup can be used to take up more space in the search results through extended snippets – I also have some experience and various interesting developments in this area. I am sure and have seen in practice that with the right seo-expert you can make excellent use of this opportunity. But even without any markup just by using review tables it was not uncommon to get a special snippet and even direct affiliate links right in the Google search results.
Clean Code
One of the main reasons why I prefer custom development to installing templates and numerous plugins. Already from the first content sites I realized that it is more profitable to figure out how to make your solution for a particular task, so that you do not have to accept compromises and overload the site with useless code, which often also creates additional problems in promotion. On the front end, I try to exclude everything that does not apply to a particular page as much as possible.
Minimum of Third-Party Libraries
The more scripts and files are connected to the site, the longer it takes to load and, consequently, the greater the risk of losing in the competition for the top of the search results. In my work I try to exclude the use of any libraries as much as possible, and if they are reasonably necessary, I connect them so that they have minimal impact on the loading speed.
Content Generation
This can be useful for attracting additional traffic, reducing the burden on content managers or improving monetization. Titles, descriptions, different blocks of text assembled based on variables and existing data – all of this can be juggled as needed for the benefit of SEO, monetization and the end user.
Custom Fields
With ACF
Using this plugin is reasonable when you need to quickly raise a significant amount of custom fields from scratch, make the appropriate dependencies and display on the front-end, but it does not always limit the flexibility of the solution, because custom fields with ACF can also be generated dynamically through PHP, taking into account all the necessary conditions. At the same time, I optimize database queries so that even a significant number of fields does not slow down the site.
WP Native Functions
It is a longer method, but more flexible and sometimes allows you to achieve greater flexibility. For example, it is perfectly applicable when you need to create template solutions for their quick deployment and customization for a specific project. It also allows you to eliminate unnecessary code and work out in detail not only the front-end, but also the back-end, which can be critical for the comfortable and high-quality work of those who use the admin dashboard.
Considering Multilingual Functionality
If the project is planned to use several languages or even a multisite version of WordPress and at the same time the ACF plugin is used for custom fields, then with proper skill you can organize the structure in such a way that it will not only not be a problem, but will greatly simplify the work with a large volume of sites.
Considering Further Development
It is important to consider the possible future development of the project when building the structure and logic of the fields. I always try to make the functions related to fields flexibles, so that they can be modified at any time without having to rework the entire code, by changing only specific elements and getting an update wherever they are applied.
Loading Speed
PageSpeed Insights Score
In our time – it is an important aspect of site promotion, the improvement of which can give a significant increase in traffic, and ignoring which can deprive it at all. Of course, this is not about cheating the system (although such a thing is possible, if necessary), but about simply following the recommendations of Google itself, which nevertheless requires skills, experience and the right approach to get a long-term result, rather than plugging some holes by creating new ones.
Garbage Code Removal
Garbage code is the code that has no functional sense or is redundant for one or another purpose. The more of it there is, the longer it takes to load the page. This may concern both JS and CSS and the source code of the HTML-page given by the server. Not to mention various comments and useless information inserted into the code by plugins.
Replacing Heavy Plugins
As a rule, there is nothing wrong with plugins if they are well designed, but it often happens that it is more profitable to replace even cool ones with custom code in order to optimize database queries and improve front-end performance. In my practice there was a case when some popup plugin in order to show on the page the necessary popup loaded all 1000+ in the source code of the page and searched them – of course, the waster was caught and replaced by a custom solution.
Handling Images
It’s not just about implementing WebP and mass converting images to this format. You can also play with deferred loading, putting images into styles instead of the img tag when appropriate. Sometimes this can give a significant boost in loading speed (without affecting the users’ experience, of course).
JS optimization
When working with JS optimization, my approach is to exclude everything that is not relevant to the page as much as possible, and especially not to use any libraries for the sake of ease of development to the detriment of site speed (which is usually unavoidable). And also it is necessary to put in deferred loading everything that can be put there without affecting the user and analytics.
Caching
An important step that is best implemented after all other optimization issues have been resolved to maximize the effect of caching. But sometimes, when there is no time to wait for improvements, fine-tuning caching and optimization plugins can help temporarily solve the speed issue and save traffic.
All of the above is just an example of what I am constantly working with and within what I can quickly solve tasks due to my experience and expertise. But for a long time now I have not been afraid to take on things that sometimes no one has even tried to do yet. My approach is that if something is possible at the idea stage, it can always be achieved.

WordPress Developer
SAVART.PRO
September 2022 — Present(2 years and 8 months)
Odessa, Ukraine
After the end of cooperation with Revieweek.com, I took up custom website development again, gradually gained clients, but at some point I realized that it’s not for me at all. To keep my pants on – fine, but it’s wildly boring to develop diverse and uncomplicated sites for completely different clients, constantly looking for new ones and supporting old ones in parallel, while my experience and ambitions have long outgrown the tasks that arise in the framework of such cooperation. As a result, I stopped all this and went into the development of my own multifunctional template for WordPress, which I am currently engaged in, and which I am ready to turn into a hobby, if I meet an interesting job for me in an affiliate team or an affiliate network related to SEO and traffic websites.
Skills: Custom development for WordPress, CSS, HTML, PHP, SQL, jQuery, JavaScript, Ajax, ACF, WPML, Integration via API, Integration with payment services, Creation of online communities, Localization of sites and multilingualism, Automatic and manual translation, Parsing and autoposting, Custom fields, NFT and Blockchain (just a little bit), PageSpeed, Process Automation, etc.
Freelance Columnist
RTBF (National Radio)
December 2022 — Present(2 years and 4 months)
Brussels, Belgium | Remotely
Once we had a massive multi-day blackout in Odessa and to keep myself busy I started writing short notes in French. A journalist friend from Belgium asked for a voiceover to put them on the radio, and since then this hobby has been a regular thing. Gradually, short notes in the morning news have grown into 20-minute quality reports with montage, with music and thematic passages, sometimes ironic and often near-philosophical. Publicly reflecting on different life situations and informing about the current situation in Ukraine. The archives can be found on the radio website and on my blog, which, incidentally, does not have as many subscribers as I would like, but through which I have managed to raise a significant amount of money for humanitarian missions over 2 years, reinforcing my experience in working with a loyal audience.
Skills: Radio appearances, Voice-over, Audio editing, Music selection, Chronicle writing, Essay writing, Blogging, E-mail marketing, Mailing list management, Fundraising for humanitarian missions, Audience relations, etc.

Remotely
For me it was the first conscious experience of working as an employee. Before that I avoided getting into a structure where I have a boss, but here everything matched up so that I agreed – an interesting long-term project, inspiring tasks that correspond with my vision of a quality website for branded traffic. When I came to the project – it was just a small review site on a slightly modified template. During three years of work we completely redesigned the entire engine, developed from scratch a lot of new and finally successful functionality, implemented multi-lingualism, parsers, various integrations, our own system of reviews and dynamic review tables, and much more. At some point, the tasks started to run out and we paused our collaboration. A year later, we made another iteration of several months, during which we implemented a number of improvements.

Managing Partner
Echo Sales Marketing
March 2015 — November 2018(3 years and 8 months)
Moscow, Russia
My brainchild, which grew out of the experience of creating and promoting my own medical websites with SEO traffic. Over three years we developed and refined a work scheme from scratch, where we were intermediaries in placing advertisements from big pharmaceutical brands on near-medical content sites. On the one side – we built a small sales team and negotiated contracts, on the other side – we scouted for webmasters and assembled a network of over 3000 traffic sites. As the volume of deals grew, we started to have problems in traffic purchasing due to long postpayments from clients, solutions to which we managed to find after the business was closed. I certainly do not regret the closure, as the most interesting thing for me during all this time was to develop various application tools for our needs (internal CRM, analytics system, various scripts and inter-service integrations for automation), and now I realize that it was just another stage on the way to becoming a programmer in the niche of affiliate marketing.
Skills: Sales Management, Project Management, Online Marketing, Native and Teaser Advertising, Conversion Increase, Traffic Monetization, Advertising Sales, Working with large customers and advertising agencies, Editorial Management, Website Development, Setting up analytics, Process Automation, Sales Strategy, Participation in exhibitions and conferences, Making presentations, etc.

January 2013 — December 2018(5 years and 11 months)
Moscow, Russia
A small utilitarian project that gradually created three plugins to simplify content sites and increase revenue. The first were plugins for searching and posting photos and videos directly from the WordPress admin, which significantly saved the budget for article publishing. The flagship was the Custom Advert Blocks plugin, which allowed to place various advertising formats directly inside the content, with deep settings for targeting and A/B testing, which in the end allowed to increase profits from both teaser networks and affiliate programs after a couple of days of simple project configuration. Here I did not act as a programmer yet – I did not have enough experience for such developments. For my part I provided the logic of the plugins and promotion among the community, the plugins themselves were made by freelancers, and of course now I have a lot of questions to their code and approaches. I regret a bit that the project was maintained with the left heel of my right foot in parallel with others and was eventually abandoned, but it gave me experience in creating and selling my own digital products to a highly specialized audience. Just through word of mouth did the project manage to generate significant profits.
Skills: Traffic Monetization, WordPress, Web Development, PHP, JavaScript, CSS, Project Management, Product Logic Development, Development Management, Digital Product Promotion, Technical Support, Online Sales, Process Automation, etc.

At some point I got in touch with investors who gave budgets for content creation for new information sites, which resulted in a significant increase in the scale of content production, search and selection of hundreds of authors on the ETXT exchange (the profile still exists), and development of various scripts to automate the process. In order not to stop the speeding up car, for several years I provided content services to other webmasters, which gave me interesting experience inpackaging my own product, as well as in working with high budgets.

Entrepreneur
Self-employed
May 2006 — November 2016(10 years and 6 months)
Moscow, Russia
As soon as I started making my first websites, I started receiving orders for development. This, in principle, has always been the main driver in my evolution – it opened doors to related projects, and also brought profit. I started with HTML, then discovered Joomla and other forgotten CMS. At some point I got to WordPress, made a blog, through which I joined the movement of money makers from that time, started making content sites, and so on…. In parallel, in the last years of university I created two online stores with partners, which we lifted from scratch and successfully sold, and I have almost completely moved away from trying to do anything related to retail. Except for the idea of opening a bookstore, which I did open in the center of Moscow in the Chekhov Library, and I closed it as a delivery point for Internet orders from large delivery services. During this period, I was rather trying to determine what was mine and what was not mine, biting into it, trying it out. Something worked out, something not so well, but it all gave me a certain experience, which in one way or another is still useful today.
Skills: Blogging, SEO, Copywriting, Website Creation, Website Promotion, Traffic Monetization, Online Sales, Online Store Management, WordPress, Joomla, ModX, Shop-Script, HTML, PHP, CSS, Advertising, Google AdSense, Working with teaser and affiliate networks and others.

I started trying to make my first websites when I was in my last year of high school, when I bought my first computer after working as a courier for a summer. Growth was slow at first and there were a lot of other side hobbies, business attempts and related knowledge, but since 2019 this is my main activity. Every day I learn something new and continue to improve as I work. Tried different things, but eventually focused on custom development for WordPress, which I use as a framework to accomplish a variety of tasks, from landing pages to process automation.

Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Greece
Roman Puzat once opened up to me, like many others, the world of making money with content sites. Back then, it was much easier than it is now – just follow the instructions and get results. Which we all enjoyed doing. But we also managed to build a community around the subject of websites, from which many businesses grew, including some of my projects. In addition to regular online training, we also traveled to different countries for training/vacation on several occasions.

The Academy of Poets and Philosophers
Natalia Nesterova University
September 2007 — June 2012(4 years and 9 months)
Moscow, Russia
The first reason for this event was to avoid the russian army, as evening study at MSLU did not give a deferment. Also I fell for the name of the faculty (at that time I was actively writing poetry and considered myself a poet). Nevertheless, I liked the whole thing – interesting people, deep discussions, and in general a rather non-framework approach to learning. I think that many of my life values were fixed during this period. And acquaintances, as well as knowledge, are stille useful in current life.
Skills: Life Approach, Self-understanding, Life Values Development, Communication, Debate, Negotiation, Openness to new things, Diverse perspectives on problems/challenges, Finding a common solution with different opinions/positions, etc.
Translation & Translation Studies
Moscow State Linguistic University
September 2006 — June 2011(4 years and 9 months)
Moscow, Russia
Here I developed a deep interest in French. I chose the language intuitively when I was assigned – I liked the girl who chose French, and I traded my already quite familiar English for it. Three out of five years of study I skipped, but I still learned the language, having watched about 3000 movies at home in the original version. At the diploma defense, of course, everyone wondered how I suddenly knew how to speak, and even with a minimal accent, and I chose a very revolutionary topic for translation and defense, but the goal was achieved. I use this language with pleasure now: I write and voice chronicles for the radio, absorb interesting content, and communicate with friends, most of whom are French-speaking expats.
Skills: French, Translation, Linguistics, Language Learning, Transforming laziness into profit, Out-of-the-box problem solving, Editorial work (I had my own online linguistic magazine within the university).
Contacts
Contact me in any convenient way or fill out the feedback form. I will be glad to talk business, and just to meet interesting people.
