Your website should bring you customers.

I'm Saqib, and I build WordPress and Shopify websites for small businesses. If your current site is slow, looks like a template, or has never brought you a single customer — that's exactly what I fix.

Web Development

Most small-business websites are brochures nobody reads.

Here's what I see every week: a business owner paid good money for a website that takes six seconds to load, looks identical to their competitor's, and has a contact form nobody has ever filled in. Then they tell me ‘my website doesn't work.’ They're right — it doesn't, because it was never built to.

I build websites with one job: turn your visitors into enquiries. Every layout decision I make starts from the same question — what does your customer need to see to pick up the phone? Fast loading, clear messaging, and a big obvious next step. That's the whole philosophy, and it works.

The service

What I actually do for you: web development.

01 / What I build

WordPress and Shopify. Nothing else.

I don't do React, Next.js, or custom web apps — and I'll tell you that upfront rather than learn on your money. WordPress and Shopify are what I know inside out, which means your site gets built fast, built right, and on platforms you can actually manage yourself afterwards. Business sites, e-commerce stores, landing pages, blogs — if it runs on WordPress or Shopify, I can build it.

02 / How I work

You talk to me. Only me.

No account managers, no juniors, no telephone game. You tell me about your business, I ask annoying questions about your customers, and then I design around the answers. You'll see the homepage first for feedback before I build a single inner page — so there are no surprise reveals at the end, only a site you've already approved piece by piece.

Deliverables

What you get with every build.

  • A site that loads in under 2 seconds — because every extra second costs you customers, and I optimize images, code, and caching from day one.
  • Mobile-first design — most of your customers will meet you on a phone. Your site will look deliberate there, not squeezed.
  • Copy guidance — I'm not a copywriter, but I'll tell you honestly when your text is confusing your customers, and help you fix it.
  • SEO foundations baked in — clean URLs, proper headings, meta tags, and sitemap, so Google can actually read your new site.
  • Easy editing — you'll be able to update text, photos, and products yourself. I'll record you a personal walkthrough video.
  • Launch support — I don't disappear after go-live. I stay around to fix the niggles and make sure everything holds up.
Process

How we'll work together.

STEP 1

Free teardown

You show me your current site (or your idea), and I tell you honestly what's wrong with it and what I'd do differently. Free, no pitch attached.

STEP 2

Blueprint

We agree on pages, structure, and the one action you want visitors to take. You approve the homepage design before anything else gets built.

STEP 3

Build

I build the full site on WordPress or Shopify — fast, responsive, and tested on real phones, not just my monitor.

STEP 4

Launch + handover

We go live together, I fix any launch-week niggles, and you get your walkthrough video so you're never dependent on me.

Working together

What it is like to work with me on web development.

01

Direct, not delegated

You work with me personally. The person who audits your site is the person who fixes it: no handoffs, no account managers.

02

Free audit first

Every engagement starts with a free audit. You get the findings in plain English before you commit to anything.

03

You see everything

Every change I make is reported in words you can understand. Nothing happens to your site behind your back.

04

Plain-English reporting

I tell you what moved, what it means, and what is next. No jargon, no vanity metrics, no vanishing after the invoice.

FAQs

Web development questions you're probably asking.

It depends on size and features, but I'll give you a fixed quote before we start — never an hourly meter running in the background. Tell me what you need and I'll price it straight. The teardown call is free either way.
A typical small-business site takes 2–4 weeks from approved design to launch. Stores with lots of products take longer. I'll give you a real date at the start and hit it.
Selling products online? Shopify, almost always. Need a business site, blog, or booking flow? WordPress. If you're not sure, tell me about your business on the teardown call and I'll recommend honestly — even if the answer is ‘you don't need a new site yet.’
Yes. That's a requirement, not a bonus. I build on standard WordPress/Shopify setups — no weird custom frameworks — and I record you a personal walkthrough video covering everything you'll need.
No, and I'd rather lose the project than fake it. I do WordPress and Shopify exclusively, because that's where I'm genuinely expert. If you need a web app, I'll point you toward someone good instead of experimenting on your budget.
