The WordPress developer
UK agencies trust —
without the London agency rates.
India-based, async-first, senior-only. I build custom WordPress sites for London, Manchester & Edinburgh agencies — clean code, 90+ PageSpeed, fixed price. Up to 65% less than a UK agency.
"By far the best developer we have ever worked with in 9 years of running a web agency. Clean code, on time, every time."

Same deliverables. Same quality. Fixed-price quotes. NDA on day one.
Why UK businesses hire
India-based WordPress developers
The same outcome — faster delivery, lower cost, senior quality. Here's the honest breakdown.
Up to 65% cost savings
A senior UK developer charges £80–£150/hr. A London agency bills £120–£250/hr. My fixed-price projects work out to £35–£65/hr equivalent — senior-level output at a fraction of the cost.
Best Western timezone overlap
IST is only 4.5 hours ahead of GMT (5.5 hrs ahead of BST in summer). That's the closest overlap of all my English-speaking markets. I'm awake and working while London is still at lunch — making UK the smoothest async partnership.
Senior dev, not a junior team
You work directly with me — no account managers, no offshore handoffs. Andrew Newby ran a UK web agency for 9 years and still calls me the best developer he's ever worked with. That's what senior-only means.
What UK agencies typically say
"We had a London dev for two years. Good guy, but £120/hr for senior work we could get done cheaper — and better."
"We needed a reliable async partner. Someone who delivers, doesn't need hand-holding."
"Our last agency used junior devs and the code was a mess. We needed someone who actually builds things properly."
What you actually get with me
- ✓ 8+ years of senior WordPress experience — Sage 10, Vite, Tailwind, ACF
- ✓ Fixed-price quote + hard deadline. No hourly surprises.
- ✓ NDA signed before we discuss your project. White-label friendly.
- ✓ GBP or USD invoicing — whichever suits your accounting.
- ✓ GMT overlap daily — I'm often available on UK afternoon calls.
"Rajan has by far been the best developer we have ever worked with in 9 years of running a web agency. Fast, clean code, always on time. He just gets it."

Why UK businesses come to me
After paying too much, waiting too long, or getting work that doesn't convert.
Overpaying for agency work
Spent £6,000+ at a London agency and got a slow, template-heavy site with no clear SEO strategy. You deserve senior-level builds at a price that respects your budget.
Slow, plugin-bloated WordPress
Elementor or Divi, 40+ plugins, and 5-second load times. Google penalises. Visitors leave. I build clean, lean custom themes that score 90+ on PageSpeed.
Traffic but no conversions
Running Google Ads or an SEO campaign, but the site doesn't convert. Wrong CRO structure, unclear CTAs, weak mobile UX. I rebuild the funnel from first principles.

Questions from UK clients
Yes — the UK is one of my largest markets. I work with agencies and businesses across London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and Bristol. Andrew Newby, a London web agency founder, has worked with me for 9 years. My async-first setup and GMT proximity (IST is only 4.5 hours ahead) make UK projects the smoothest of any English-speaking market.
Absolutely. I can quote and invoice in GBP, USD, or your preferred currency. GBP quotes are available after the discovery call. Payments are accepted via bank transfer, PayPal, or Wise.
A senior UK developer typically charges £80–£150/hr. A London agency bills £120–£250/hr. My fixed-price projects work out to £35–£65/hr equivalent — senior-level quality at 40–65% of local rates. Critically, you pay a fixed price, not hourly, so there are no invoice surprises.
Yes. A significant portion of my work is white-label for UK agencies. I sign NDAs before any project discussion, never contact your clients directly, and deliver work unbranded. Andrew Newby's agency has used me as their white-label partner for nearly a decade. Several other London agencies use me the same way.
IST is UTC+5:30, which is just 4.5 hours ahead of GMT (5.5 hours during BST). That's the closest timezone of all my key markets. A brief sent at 10am London time means a response by late afternoon — same day in many cases. For live collaboration, I can overlap with UK mornings by taking early-afternoon IST calls.
Yes — I'm comfortable with Jira, Asana, Basecamp, Linear, Notion, Trello, or GitHub Issues. I can fit into your Figma-to-WordPress pipeline, match your staging environment setup, and work with your existing brand guidelines. Andrew Newby's agency has me plugged directly into their delivery process.
