Pretty designs don't matter if your site is slow, confusing, or invisible to search engines.
Heavy themes and plugins kill performance. Visitors leave before they even see your content.
No clear CTA or user journey. Visitors don't know what to do next, so they bounce.
Messy code and plugin dependency. Adding new features becomes expensive and risky.

My rates depend on project scope. Hourly consulting starts at $50–75/hr. Fixed-price projects range from $800 for a landing page to $5,000+ for a full custom WordPress build. I provide a detailed quote after a free 15-min discovery call — no surprises.
A simple landing page or redesign takes 1–2 weeks. A full custom WordPress site typically takes 3–6 weeks. Complex WooCommerce or multi-language builds take 6–12 weeks. I give you an accurate timeline during discovery based on your specific requirements.
Yes — white-label is one of my most common engagements. I sign NDAs as standard, never contact your clients directly, and deliver all work without my branding. Several UK and UAE agencies use me as their silent WordPress development partner.
Absolutely. Most of my work is fixing, optimising, or extending existing WordPress sites — Core Web Vitals improvements, speed optimisation, security hardening, plugin customisation, or adding new features. I'll audit your site first and recommend the most cost-effective path.
I'm based in India (IST, UTC+5:30) and work Monday–Friday with flexible hours to overlap with UK, UAE, and US clients. I typically respond within a few hours on weekdays. For urgent tasks, WhatsApp gets the fastest reply.
Yes. I offer monthly retainer plans starting at $500/month covering maintenance, updates, security monitoring, and priority support. Many clients stay on retainer so their site keeps performing as their business grows.
