WordPress Development You Can Actually Run
I build and fix WordPress sites for small businesses, agencies, and marketing teams — new builds, custom themes, WooCommerce, and rescue jobs where someone inherited a site nobody understands.
One developer: me, Hammad Khan. The person who scopes the project is the person who writes the code.
The outcome is a site your team can run: reusable templates, a small stack, and fast loads on a mid-range phone. I say no to plugin piles and will tell you when WordPress is the wrong tool.
Scope in writing, always. Fixed price for defined scope.

How I Work
One developer, written scope, plugins as cost not feature, performance as part of the build, you own everything, and honest stack advice.
- Direct email — no account manager
- Scope document before any build
- Minimal, well-maintained plugins only
- Performance during development
- You own hosting, domain, code
- Will recommend headless / other stacks when fit
Frequently Asked Questions
Page builders vs custom themes, working with existing sites, design, hosting, choosing a developer, after launch, and time zones.
Should I use a page builder or a custom theme?
Depends who edits. Non-technical weekly publishers often need Gutenberg blocks or a builder. Rarely changing content with speed priorities favors custom templates. Most of my builds land on Gutenberg with custom blocks.
Can you work with my existing site instead of rebuilding?
Usually yes. I audit and say whether fixing is cheaper than rebuilding — sometimes a rebuild costs less than untangling conflicting layers.
Do you provide the design?
I implement your design or build from clean standard layouts. For original brand design, hire a designer separately — better results than asking me to do both.
What about hosting?
I recommend and set up based on traffic and budget; the account stays in your name. No reselling or affiliate commissions.
How do I know you are the right developer?
Ask hard questions. I published the list in hire WordPress developer questions — including ones that would disqualify me for certain projects.
What happens after launch?
30 days of bug fixes included. Then self-manage, a maintenance plan, or bring me back for scoped work — no forced retainer.
