Why Work With Me For WordPress Development
I’ve been building WordPress websites since 2009. I’ve worked with blogs, SaaS products, eCommerce brands, universities, agencies, creators, and enterprises.
Over the years, I’ve seen one common pattern: most WordPress sites are overloaded with plugins, bloated themes, and random patches. They work, but barely. They don’t scale. They don’t perform. My approach is the opposite: lean, clean, and performance-first.
Performance-First Builds
No heavy page builder bloat. I focus on clean themes, minimal plugins, and Core Web Vitals friendly setups.
SEO-Ready Out Of The Box
Logical structure, schema support, optimized HTML, and smooth integration with Rank Math or Yoast.
Conversion-Focused Design
I don’t just “make it pretty.” I design for clicks, leads, signups, and sales — not vanity metrics.
Maintainable For Years
Reusable blocks, clear structure, smart naming and documentation so your team can edit without breaking things.
Full-Stack Expertise
From backend PHP to frontend JavaScript, database optimization to API integrations — I handle the complete stack.
Growth-Oriented Approach
Beyond building, I help you scale with analytics, A/B testing foundations, and conversion optimization strategies.
From WordPress Pain Points To Practical Solutions
Let’s call things what they are. Most WordPress setups are a mess behind the scenes. Here’s how I turn that chaos into a stable, scalable system.
Pain Point
Fragmented theme and plugin stack
Different builders, random plugins, overlapping features. Every change feels risky.
Solution
I unify your stack around a lean theme, essential plugins, and custom code where it matters. Fewer moving parts, more reliability.
Pain Point
Inconsistent design and user experience
Buttons, headings, sections all look slightly different. The site feels stitched together over years.
Solution
I create a simple design system: a shared set of components, spacing rules, and styles that keep every page visually consistent.
Pain Point
Slow pages and broken Core Web Vitals
You’ve tried “speed plugins,” but Lighthouse and Search Console still scream at you.
Solution
I go under the hood: clean markup, optimized queries, smarter asset loading, and performance-focused hosting setups.
Pain Point
No clear content structure
Posts, pages, resources, products — everything is mixed. Editors get lost, users get confused.
Solution
I use custom post types, taxonomies, and fields to organize your content. Editors know where to put what, and users find what they need faster.
Pain Point
No central control, no governance
Multiple people update the site with no rules. Things break, styles drift, performance suffers.
Solution
I define roles, permissions, and clear editing boundaries. Central control where needed, freedom where safe.
Pain Point
No mobile strategy beyond responsive
Your site “works on mobile” but lacks a true mobile experience or app presence.
Solution
I build mobile-first experiences and can create corresponding mobile apps that sync with your WordPress backend for deeper engagement.
Instead of fighting your site every time you log in, you end up with a stable system you can build on confidently.

How The WordPress Development Process Works
Every project follows a clear, predictable flow so you’re never left guessing what’s happening.
Discovery And Requirements
We start with a call or a detailed brief. I ask questions about your goals, audience, content, tech stack, and current problems. This is where we decide what to keep, what to fix, and what to completely rebuild.
Architecture And Wireframes
I map out the site structure, key templates, and user journeys. You get a clear overview of how everything will fit together before a single line of production code is written.
Design And UI System
I design layouts for the homepage, key inner pages, and shared components. Grid, spacing, typography, and components are defined as a reusable system, not random blocks.
Development And Integration
This is where the WordPress build happens: templates, custom blocks or fields, plugins, integrations, and dynamic content. Everything is developed on a staging environment first.
Testing, Optimization, And Launch
We test performance, responsiveness, forms, tracking, and flows. Once everything is solid, we push it live with minimal downtime and keep a close eye on things.
Training And Handover
I walk you through managing your site, provide documentation for common tasks, and ensure your team is confident making updates independently.

FAQs
Do you only work on new builds, or can you improve an existing site?
Both. A lot of my work is taking an existing WordPress site, cleaning it up, streamlining the stack, and making it faster and easier to manage.
Can you work with my existing theme or builder?
Yes, if it’s reasonable. I work with FSE (Full Site Editing), Bricks Builder, Breakdance, custom PHP & HTML, and more. Sometimes it makes sense to keep your current stack and just optimize it. Other times, a rebuild saves more time and money in the long run. I’ll be honest about which one makes more sense.
Do you handle hosting, domains, and DNS as well?
I can help you choose the right host, set it up, and configure everything properly. You keep full control and ownership of your accounts.
Will I be able to edit my website after the project?
Yes. That’s the whole point. I build pages and templates so that you or your team can update content, create new pages, and manage things without touching code.
Do you offer ongoing support and maintenance?
Yes. If you need long-term help, I also offer WordPress maintenance services, performance monitoring, and continuous improvements.
What e-commerce platforms do you work with?
I work with WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads (EDD), SureCart, and FluentCart. Each has its strengths depending on your product type and business model. I’ll recommend the best fit for your needs.
Can you build community sites and mobile apps?
Yes. I can create community platforms using BuddyPress, PeepSo, or custom solutions, and build corresponding mobile apps (iOS & Android) that integrate with your WordPress backend via REST API.
What technologies do you use for building websites?
I use a variety of technologies including Full Site Editing (FSE), Bricks Builder, Breakdance, custom PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The choice depends on your specific needs, budget, and long-term goals.
Do you work with clients outside India?
Absolutely. I work with clients worldwide. Communication happens over email, Slack, or video calls across time zones, and payments can be made in USD, EUR, or other currencies via Wise, PayPal, or bank transfer.
How long does a typical WordPress project take?
It depends on scope. A simple website might take 2-3 weeks, while a complex e-commerce or community site could take 6-8 weeks or more. I’ll give you a clear timeline after understanding your requirements.
Do you provide training after the website is complete?
Yes. Every project includes a walkthrough session where I show you how to manage your site. I also provide documentation for common tasks so you and your team can refer back anytime.
What if I need changes after the project is delivered?
Minor tweaks within the first 2 weeks are typically included. For larger changes or ongoing work, we can set up a maintenance retainer or scope it as a separate mini-project with clear deliverables.
