FAQ

Questions, answered.

Still curious? Email me. I read and answer every message myself.

How much does a website cost?

Every project gets a fixed price based on scope: pages, platform (WordPress, Shopify or custom code), copywriting and integrations. A landing page is the smallest job. A full business website or Shopify store is bigger. You get a written quote within two working days of our call, and it only changes if the scope does.

How long does it take to build a website?

Landing pages take 1 to 2 weeks. Business websites take 3 to 6 weeks, and Shopify stores 4 to 8 weeks depending on the catalogue. We agree the timeline in writing before starting. The biggest variable is usually how fast content and feedback arrive.

Do you work with clients outside India?

Yes. I’ve worked with 10+ clients outside India, including startups in the US, UK and Australia. I’m based in Mumbai (IST), so feedback you send in the evening is often done by your morning. I also overlap with UK and European working hours.

Should I choose WordPress or Shopify?

If selling products online is the heart of your business, choose Shopify. Checkout, payments and inventory come built in. If your site is mainly about services, content and leads, WordPress gives you more design and SEO freedom. I build on both, so I’ll recommend what fits you, not me.

Will my website be SEO-friendly?

Yes. Every site ships with semantic HTML, fast load times, mobile-first layouts, meta tags, schema markup, an XML sitemap and 301 redirects from your old URLs, so you keep the rankings you already have.

Do you offer maintenance after launch?

Yes. Every launch includes 30 days of free fixes. After that, an optional monthly care plan covers updates, backups, security, speed checks and small content edits. Or I can train your team to run it.

Can you work with my agency as a white-label developer?

Yes. I work with design and marketing agencies as a white-label WordPress and Shopify developer. Your brand, your process, your tools, with an NDA by default. Your client never needs to know I exist.
