WORDPRESS · PAKISTAN
WordPress Developer in Pakistan
I am Zain Saeed, a senior WordPress developer based in Pakistan, working with founders, studios and agencies across the US, UK, UAE and Australia. Custom themes, headless setups, performance work and ACF-driven block builds — shipped in days, not months.
Senior WordPress work, Pakistan rates
Most agencies overseas charge $120–$180 an hour for senior WordPress engineering. Working with me, you get the same caliber of code at a fraction of the cost, with one direct point of contact and no project manager overhead. I have spent the last several years building, breaking and rebuilding WordPress — from classic theme stacks and ACF Pro to fully decoupled Next.js front-ends backed by the WordPress REST and GraphQL APIs.
Every project starts the same way: a kickoff call (or async brief), a written scope with milestones and a fixed price. Then I build, you review weekly, and we launch. No padded retainers, no surprise hourly bills.
Services I specialise in
Custom theme development
Hand-coded themes built on the modern block editor, with ACF Pro custom blocks, reusable patterns and clean, semantic markup. No Divi, no Elementor unless you specifically need it.
Headless WordPress
WordPress as a CMS, Next.js or Astro on the front-end. Lightning-fast static or hybrid sites with the editing experience your team already knows.
Plugin & API work
Custom plugins, REST endpoints, WooCommerce extensions and third-party integrations (HubSpot, Mailchimp, Stripe, Zapier, custom CRMs).
