Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers. If you can't find what you're looking for, feel free to contact us.

Do you offer WordPress as well as custom-coded sites?

Yes. I build both WordPress sites (including WooCommerce) and fully custom solutions using Next.js/React. We'll choose the best approach based on your timeline, budget, and flexibility needs.

When should I choose WordPress vs a custom build?

Choose WordPress if you want fast launch, easy content editing, and a rich plugin ecosystem. Go custom when you need unique features, maximum performance, or deep integrations. I'll help you decide after a quick discovery call.

Do you build WooCommerce stores?

Absolutely. I set up products, cart/checkout, payment gateways, shipping and tax basics, and email notifications—plus performance and SEO essentials.

Do you provide WordPress maintenance and security?

Yes. Maintenance plans include core/theme/plugin updates, automated backups, uptime/security checks, and monthly health audits. Security hardening is available for logins, roles, WAF, and malware scans.

Can you migrate my existing WordPress site?

Yes. I handle full backups, host/domain moves, DNS/SSL assistance, and post-migration QA to minimize downtime.

How long does a WordPress site take?

Typical timelines: 3–7 days for a starter site, 7–14 days for a business site, and 2–4 weeks for WooCommerce—depending on content readiness and complexity.

Can you match my brand or existing design?

Yes. I can customize themes to your guidelines or design bespoke sections. For custom builds, I create pixel-accurate UIs aligned to your brand.

What technologies do you use for custom applications?

For custom builds I typically use Next.js and React with TypeScript on the frontend, and Node.js/Express or serverless APIs on the backend, connecting to PostgreSQL or MongoDB. I also integrate Redis, message queues, and third‑party APIs when needed.

How do you estimate and price custom development?

I start with a short discovery to define scope and milestones, then provide a proposal with deliverables and a fixed price or milestone-based budget. Pricing depends on complexity, integrations, and timelines. You'll get a clear breakdown before we begin.

How long do custom projects take?

Timelines vary by scope. Small apps or MVPs are often 2–4 weeks, while larger platforms can take 6–12+ weeks. I share a project plan with weekly checkpoints so you always know progress.

Can you integrate with third‑party APIs and internal systems?

Yes. I routinely integrate REST/GraphQL APIs (payments, auth, analytics, CRM/ERP) and can connect to internal systems via secure endpoints or queued jobs. Data import/export pipelines are available as needed.

Do you provide testing, CI/CD, and deployment?

Yes. I include unit/integration testing, automated lint/type checks, and CI/CD (e.g., GitHub Actions). Deployments can target Vercel, AWS, or DigitalOcean with environment configuration and rollbacks.

How do you handle performance, SEO, and accessibility?

I optimize Core Web Vitals (SSR/ISR, caching, code-splitting), follow SEO best practices (structured data, meta, sitemaps), and meet accessibility guidelines (semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, ARIA).

Do you offer maintenance after launch for custom apps?

Yes. Maintenance plans cover bug fixes, security updates, monitoring, performance checks, and small improvements. We can tailor a plan that fits your roadmap.
