Let's Talk โQuestions from Manchester clients
Everything you need to know before hiring a freelance WordPress developer for your Manchester project.
Yes - I issue GBP-denominated invoices as standard. I accept payment via SWIFT/IBAN bank transfer, Wise, and PayPal. Every project starts with a written scope document and a fixed-price quote, so you know exactly what you're paying before any work begins.
Manchester runs on GMT (UTC+0) in winter and BST (UTC+1) in summer - same as London. IST (India Standard Time) is UTC+5:30, which means I'm 5.5 hours ahead of GMT and 4.5 hours ahead of BST. Your 9 AM-1 PM GMT is my 2:30-6:30 PM IST. We have solid overlap for video calls and async messages. I typically reply to Manchester clients within 2-4 hours of their morning starting.
Yes - white-label is one of my most common and longest-running engagements. I sign NDAs as standard, never contact your end clients directly, deliver all work branded however you need, and do not disclose your client names or projects. Several Manchester digital agencies have worked with me for multiple years on an ongoing white-label basis. If you're looking for a reliable senior WordPress developer to extend your team's capacity, this is exactly what I do.
Yes - I handle full Magento to WooCommerce migrations including product data, customer records, and order history. I produce a complete 301 redirect map to preserve SEO rankings, monitor Core Web Vitals before and after, and include post-launch support to catch any edge cases. It's one of the more complex migration paths and I've done it multiple times for UK e-commerce businesses.
Yes. Every site I build includes GDPR-compliant cookie consent (configurable banner, no unnecessary cookies loaded before consent), accessible and GDPR-friendly contact forms, and analytics configurations that respect UK data regulations. I can also advise on appropriate plugin choices for cookie management. For formal legal compliance advice you'd need a solicitor, but technically I have the standard requirements well covered.
