Working across the time gap
Pakistan is 13 hours ahead of Pacific Time. I keep late-night PKT hours to overlap with SF mornings, ship daily async progress with annotated staging URLs, and accommodate same-day reviews for sprint deadlines.
Build
Grow & maintain
San Francisco expects technical excellence. SaaS companies, funded startups, creative agencies, DTC brands and professional service firms here need sites that perform — sub-2s loads, clean code, real design systems, not drag-and-drop page builders. Custom WordPress and Shopify builds from a senior dev, fixed price, shipped fast.

How a remote engagement runs
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.
You send what you need — goals, references, deadline. I reply within 24h with questions, not a generic templated quote.
Fixed price, fixed timeline, deliverables in writing. No retainer trap, no surprise scope creep mid-build.
You see real progress weekly on a staging URL. Feedback rounds are baked in — not billed extra.

Track record
Reviews
“Zain is one of the best web designers on Fiverr, period. He has been my web developer for years — fast, reliable, and genuinely cares about conversion.”
“Direct, honest, and shipped on time. Our quote requests doubled in the first month after launch.”
“I have worked with three agencies before — Zain delivered cleaner code than any of them, for a fraction of the cost.”
Bay Area clients often ask about modern stacks. This is a real one, plus a WordPress build for a US franchise.
Next.js and Payload CMS instead of a classic WordPress theme: server-rendered pages, a headless CMS the client runs, and Organization, Product and Breadcrumb structured data out of the box.
A WordPress site with a location-aware booking flow for each franchise market and its own recruiting funnel.
FAQ
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
