Working across the time gap
Pakistan is 10 hours ahead of Eastern Time. I keep late-evening PKT hours for NYC mornings, ship daily async progress with annotated staging URLs, and accommodate same-day reviews when launches are tight.

New York runs on brand. Editorial publishers, fashion houses, agency partners, restaurant groups and direct-to-consumer founders need sites that look like the brand and convert like a funnel. Figma-to-WordPress, custom themes, considered typography, real motion — not a stock theme with a logo swap.

FAQ
WordPress Website Designer — common questions from New York clients
Do you build from an existing Figma file?
Yes — that is the most common starting point for NYC engagements. I work from your designer's Figma directly: component inventory, design tokens, type scale, spacing system, hover and motion states. The build matches the file pixel-for-pixel and shipping any future variations stays cheap because the component system is already there.
Can I bring my own designer and just hire you for the build?
Absolutely — about half of NYC engagements are build-only. You hand off Figma, I scope the WordPress build, ship staging weekly, and your designer reviews. I do not push back on creative choices unless they hurt accessibility or Core Web Vitals — and even then I propose alternatives, never veto.
Do you work with NYC creative agencies on white-label projects?
Yes — about a third of my work is white-label. NDAs are standard, I ship under your agency brand, attend client calls when you need a technical voice, and never poach the relationship. Strategist + designer at your shop, developer at mine.
How does design polish hold up on mobile and Core Web Vitals?
Editorial design and green CWV are not in tension if the build is done right — self-hosted variable fonts, AVIF / WebP image pipeline, blur-up placeholders, motion that respects reduced-motion preferences, scroll-linked animations using IntersectionObserver instead of heavy libraries. Every NYC build ships with LCP under 2.0s.
Can you handle WooCommerce for fashion / DTC brands?
Yes — variable products with size and color swatches, look-book pages, collection landing pages with editorial layouts, Klaviyo / Mailchimp lifecycle email, abandoned-cart flows, Stripe / Klarna / Afterpay at checkout. NYC fashion clients also commonly need multi-warehouse stock and gift-card flows — both are standard.
How much does a WordPress design build cost in NYC?
Design-and-build $4k–$12k for marketing sites, $8k–$25k for editorial publications, $10k–$35k for fashion / DTC commerce. Build-only (Figma-to-WordPress) typically lands 30–40% lower. Every quote is fixed-price.
