WordPress
developer for California — built for tech, DTC and creative brands.
California sets the bar for what a modern site looks like. Tech-savvy buyers, a design-led culture, Spanish-bilingual customers across Southern California, and a startup pace that punishes anyone who can't ship weekly. Custom WordPress and Shopify built for that — fixed quotes, direct WhatsApp, PST-friendly hours.

How a remote engagement runs
From your California brief to a live launch
A four-step process that surfaces scope early and keeps the build moving — no kickoff meetings about kickoff meetings, even with a 10-hour time gap.
01
Brief
You send what you need — goals, references, deadline. I reply within 24h with questions, not a generic templated quote.
02
Scoped quote
Fixed price, fixed timeline, deliverables in writing. No retainer trap, no surprise scope creep mid-build.
03
Build & preview
You see real progress weekly on a staging URL. Feedback rounds are baked in — not billed extra.
04
Launch & after
DNS, SSL, analytics, search console. I’m on call after launch and provide a clean handover doc for your team.

FAQ
WordPress Developer — common questions from California clients
Do you work with California-based startups directly?
Yes — about a quarter of my work is with California startups and scale-ups, often through agency or referral. Most need a custom marketing site, dev-docs templating, or a Shopify storefront. I keep late-evening PKT hours for live calls and ship daily async updates so work continues overnight.
Can you handle CCPA / California privacy requirements?
Yes. Every California build includes a CCPA-compliant cookie consent banner, a "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link, privacy policy aligned with CCPA disclosures, and proper data-deletion workflows. I keep up with CPRA amendments as they roll out.
How do time zones work for a California client?
Pakistan is 12–13 hours ahead of Pacific Time. I keep late-evening PKT hours for live calls — that maps to your 8–11am PT window. Daily async updates land in your inbox by 8am PT every working day. Most California clients say turnaround actually speeds up because work happens overnight.
Bilingual English/Spanish — can you handle that?
Yes — common across SoCal and Central Valley clients. I use WPML or Polylang for WordPress, native Shopify Markets for Shopify. Hreflang tags, per-locale URL structures, and translated meta/schema so both versions rank independently. Spanish copy is sourced from native translators, not Google Translate.
Do you sign NDAs and work with California agencies on a white-label basis?
Yes. NDAs are standard, I ship under your agency brand, attend client calls when you need a technical voice in the room, and stay out of the client relationship between calls. About a third of my work runs through agencies.
How much does a California build cost?
Brochure / marketing sites $1.2k–$6k. Bilingual marketing $1.8k–$8k. WooCommerce or Shopify $4k–$15k. SaaS marketing sites with custom integrations $5k–$18k. Headless / Hydrogen builds $15k–$40k. Every quote is fixed-price.
