About me.
Hi! As you may already know, my name is Gaurav Tiwari. I’m a developer (specializing in WordPress, PHP, and JavaScript frameworks), web designer, marketer, and educator who has spent 18 years creating meaningful digital experiences. I build things that work: fast websites, high-converting content, and tools that solve real problems.
My approach is simple: technology should be invisible. It should just perform.
As the founder of Gatilab, I help individuals and organizations succeed online. This means performance-focused WordPress websites, content strategies that drive traffic and conversions, and systems designed to scale. I’ve worked with over 850 clients — from solo bloggers figuring out their first website to government agencies running campaigns that reached 300 million people.
What drives me?
Creating something people actually need and making it accessible. Every website I build, article I write, and tool I design is crafted with performance and usability in mind. The best compliment isn’t “this looks great” – it’s “this just works the way I wanted.”
What I Do Now
I run Gatilab, an independent marketing and web development agency. As Founder & Team Lead, I help individuals and organizations succeed online through high-performance WordPress development, content strategy, and conversion-focused marketing.

How I Work
Writing Style
My writing is structured, data-driven, and accessible. Long-form articles with clear headings, bullet points, and tables of contents. I balance storytelling with actionable insights — problems first, then solutions.
Every piece is written with SEO in mind but never at the expense of readability. Content must be human-centered. If it doesn’t help the reader, it doesn’t get published.
Philosophy
“I don’t ship pages. I ship systems that think, convert, and scale.”
Technology should solve problems, not create them. The best websites are fast, accessible, and focused on what users need. Most “best practices” are cargo cult — I do what works, measure results, and iterate.
Hands-on & Authentic
I use what I recommend. Every tool, every strategy has been personally tested.
Data-Driven
Decisions backed by numbers, not intuition. A/B testing, analytics, performance metrics.
Performance-First
Speed and efficiency in everything. Websites, campaigns, systems.
Transparency
Honest about pros and cons. No overselling.
The Blog
gauravtiwari.org has existed since 2008 under various names. The domain was registered in November 2011. Over 17 years, it has grown into a knowledge base of 1,800+ articles covering WordPress, SEO, Blogging, Digital Marketing, Technology, Education, and Business.
Affiliate Partnerships
I’m transparent about monetization. Primary affiliate networks include AWIN, Impact Radius, AppSumo, and Amazon Associates.
Every affiliate recommendation is for a product I’ve used or thoroughly tested. If something doesn’t work, I say so.
Who This Blog Helps
Who want practical SEO and growth strategies that actually work — not recycled advice from people who’ve never shipped a website.
Building fast, reliable WordPress sites that convert visitors into customers.
Who prefer clear, actionable learning resources over academic jargon.
Looking for value-conscious solutions that deliver results without enterprise budgets.
If you’re here to learn something useful and apply it, you’re in the right place.
