FAQ

WordPress & Shopify Developer — common questions from San Francisco, CA clients

Do you build marketing sites for SaaS companies?

Yes — SaaS marketing sites are one of my most common SF engagements. Landing pages, pricing tables, feature comparisons, changelog pages, docs sections, blog with category filtering. Built on WordPress with custom Gutenberg blocks or headless WordPress with Next.js, depending on the engineering team's preference. Every build ships with structured data and sub-2s LCP.

Can you work from our Figma design file?

Yes — Figma-to-WordPress and Figma-to-Shopify is about half of my work. I build from your design system: component inventory, design tokens, type scale, spacing, states. The production build matches the file and extending it later stays cheap because the component architecture is already in place.

Do you build headless WordPress with Next.js or React?

Yes — headless WordPress with WPGraphQL or REST API, front-end in Next.js (App Router or Pages), deployed on Vercel or self-hosted. This is common for SF startups that want WordPress content management with a React front-end and static generation for speed. I also do Hydrogen / Shopify headless for commerce.

Do you work with SF agencies on white-label projects?

Yes — about a third of my work is white-label for agencies. NDAs are standard, I ship under your brand, join client calls when you need a technical voice, and never contact the end client directly. Your strategy and design, my development.

What does a website cost for a San Francisco business?

SaaS marketing sites $4,000–$12,000. Agency white-label builds $3,000–$10,000. E-commerce (Shopify / WooCommerce) $5,000–$15,000. Headless WordPress + Next.js $8,000–$20,000. Everything is fixed-price — no hourly billing.

How fast can you ship?

Standard marketing sites ship in 2–3 weeks. E-commerce stores 3–4 weeks. Headless builds 4–6 weeks. MVP landing pages for launches can ship in under a week if the design is ready. I work async with daily staging updates so you always know where things stand.
