Need a website, a custom plugin or help untangling an existing setup? I work across the code, design and content that make a site useful.
A written scope, a fixed quote and a clear next step.
-
WordPress and plugin development
Custom themes, plugins and publishing systems. Performance, accessibility and maintainability shape the build from the start.
You leave with working code you own, documented and handed over.
-
Performance and technical SEO
Find where the time goes, from the server response to page assets and third-party code, and what keeps pages out of search. Then fix the largest problem first.
You leave with a ranked list of problems and the fixes applied.
-
Website and interface design
Research the people, the problem and the constraints, then design a site around what your visitors came to do.
You leave with a finished site your team can edit without calling a developer.
- ResearchUnderstand the people, the problem and the constraints.
- ScopeAgree on what done means, what it costs and who owns what.
- BuildPerformance, accessibility and maintainability guide the work.
- ExplainShow the reasoning and the tradeoffs, so you can run it.
In Their Words
Clients, readers and plugin users, quoted as they wrote it.
Built a robust content platform for us. Understood both technical architecture and UX aspects exceptionally well. The CMS is simple enough for our non-technical team.
[Gaurav is] the best of both worlds: a marketer and designer with a sharp eye on conversion. [That was] exactly what we needed for our campaigns.
Understood our luxury positioning perfectly. The website feels premium and matches our brand. Customers tell us the site sold them before they walked in.
[Gaurav] built [our] website from scratch. The CMS is simple enough that our non-technical team can manage everything without calling a developer.
[Gaurav is the] best [professional I've worked with] in my entire career, across planning, writing, designing, and marketing. He does it all and does it well.
The website looks beautiful, and guests found us through it. [Gaurav was] patient and always responsive to feedback.
Understanding of content and design is impeccable. Problem-solving on the spot. A reliable partner for any web project.
[Dynamic Month & Year into Posts] definitely deserves five stars. Thanks for all your contributions. I requested a new feature, and Gaurav added it in the next release. I'm happy to use this lightweight and secure plugin.
