Questions people ask before hiring a WordPress developer

Yes. I work remotely from India and have since 2018. We talk by video, email or WhatsApp at a time that suits your time zone, and I reply within 1 to 2 hours at most.

With a short call or an email thread. You tell me what the business does and what the site has to do. I tell you what I'd build, what I'd leave out, and what it will cost.

A few lines about the business, what you want the site to do, and any logo, photos or old website you already have. That's enough for a first call.

Yes. The Our Work page has case studies for IntentFlow Media and TechHub Insight, and 24 Google reviews average 4.9 out of 5.

Support runs 24 hours a day, and I reply within 1 to 2 hours at most.

A landing page is $200, and a full business website of up to seven pages starts from $500. Prices are in US dollars. Anything bigger, like an online shop, I price after we talk.

A landing page ships in 5 to 7 business days. A full website ships in 2 to 3 weeks. Most delays come from waiting on text and photos, so send those early.

A landing page if you sell one service or run one campaign. A full website if people check who you are, what you offer and your past work before they call. A landing page has one job. A full website has five or six.

One custom landing page built without a heavy page builder and aimed at 98/100 on PageSpeed. It comes with a contact form that sends email notifications and blocks spam, structured data, social sharing tags, a layout tested on mobile and desktop, and 30 days of technical support after launch.

Up to seven custom-designed pages (Home, About, Services, Work, Contact), built in WordPress to work on every screen size. You also get on-page SEO setup, schema markup, automated cloud backups, core security setup, 60 days of direct developer support and a walkthrough video.

Yes. I build with custom Gutenberg blocks, so you can change text and images without breaking the layout. The walkthrough video that comes with the full website shows you how.

It will be set up properly, but nobody can promise a ranking, and I won't. Every full website includes on-page SEO setup and schema markup. Where you land after that depends on your competition, your content and time.

Yes. Shops are priced after a call, because the number of products and the payment setup change the work. My care plan covers WooCommerce sites too.

Yes. Send me the link and tell me what bothers you most: speed, looks, or no enquiries. I'll tell you whether a few fixes will do or a rebuild makes more sense.

If you want to own the site, move hosts later and add features, WordPress. AI builders are quick to start, but getting your site out of one can be hard. Ask about export before you pay.

It depends on the builder's terms, so read them before you pay. Check three things: can you export your pages, can you move your domain, and who owns the hosting. With some builders the export is limited.

Not for daily changes like text, images and blog posts. The technical part is updates, backups and security, and that's what a care plan takes off your hands.

Safe updates for WordPress core, themes and plugins, scheduled offsite cloud backups with restore checks, uptime monitoring, security checks and spam cleanup. I also test your contact form, checkout and mobile layout regularly, make monthly text, image and page edits, and you can reach me directly on WhatsApp and email.

Care plans start from $120 a month, for WordPress and WooCommerce sites.

Yes, because a site that works today can break after one plugin update. Outdated plugins are also a common way sites get hacked. I test updates before they reach your live site, so a bad one doesn't take you down.

As a rule: security updates within about 48 hours, plugins and themes reviewed every week, and a backup before every update. Big WordPress releases wait a week or two for early bugs to show up, then get tested first. On a care plan, I do all of this.

Message me right away. A hacked site is far easier to fix when a recent offsite backup exists, which is why the care plan includes scheduled backups and restore checks. If you're not on a plan yet, send me the link and I'll tell you what I see.

A logo, plus colors and fonts you can reuse on everything else. Logo and branding start from $150 and take 2 to 3 days. Deliverables include 2 to 3 original concepts, vector master SVG files, print-ready PDF, high-resolution transparent PNGs, web WebP files, and brand color hex codes with font pairings.

Yes. I design food packaging and consumer goods packaging, like the waffle packaging in my portfolio, along with brochures, banners and social graphics. Graphic design starts from $180 and takes 4 to 5 days.

How a page is laid out so the thing a visitor came for is the first thing they find: menus, page order, buttons and forms. I design the screens first, then build them. UI/UX design starts from $200 and takes 5 to 7 business days for wireframes and interactive prototypes.

On-page SEO, Google Search Console and Analytics setup with reports, and social media posting. It starts from $80 per month for search monitoring and organic posts. Paid advertising campaigns on Google or Meta are quoted separately based on your ad spend.

Yes. I do new sites, redesigns and maintenance plans for UK businesses, and there's a page just for the UK with more detail.

Yes. I build websites for businesses in Dubai and across the UAE, including B2B and industrial companies. I can also build Arabic or bilingual sites: a translator writes the Arabic copy and I build the pages around it.

Yes. I'm in India (IST, UTC+5:30), and I set calls around your day, not mine. Email and WhatsApp work for anything that doesn't need a call.

30% upfront, 30% midway through the project and the last 40% when it's finished. You can pay by bank transfer, UPI or PayPal. Prices are in US dollars.

You do. I create them with your email address, so every login is yours from day one.

The landing page includes 30 days of technical support, and a full website includes 60 days of direct developer support. After that, a care plan from $120 a month keeps me reachable on WhatsApp and email.
