Frequently Asked Questions

Typical projects take 4-8 weeks depending on complexity. Simple sites can be faster; complex builds with custom plugins may take longer. I'll give you a specific timeline in the quote.

Yes — I handle redesigns, performance optimization, plugin conflicts, security fixes, and feature additions on existing sites. I start with an audit to understand what you're working with.

Absolutely. I build custom blocks, block patterns, and full-site editing themes using the latest WordPress block editor APIs.

I offer ongoing support and maintenance plans, or you can opt for the Full Package service which includes hosting, updates, and monitoring.

Page builders add bloat — dozens of scripts, inline styles, and database queries your site doesn't need. A custom-built theme loads faster, ranks better, and is easier to maintain long-term.

Yes — WooCommerce is a dedicated service. If your project is primarily an online store, check out my eCommerce Development service for a more tailored approach.

Primarily WooCommerce and custom-built solutions. I also integrate with Shopify APIs and headless commerce setups where a decoupled frontend makes sense.

Yes — I handle migrations from Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, and other platforms to WooCommerce with full data preservation, redirect mapping, and zero-downtime cutover.

Yes — Stripe, PayPal, Square, and custom gateway integrations with PCI-compliant tokenization. I test every payment path before launch.

I build multi-currency, multi-language stores with proper tax handling and regional shipping rules. WooCommerce handles this well with the right configuration.

Streamlined checkout flow, guest checkout, auto-fill, clear error messages, and mobile-optimized forms. I also set up abandoned cart recovery and analytics to track drop-off points.

Yes — I build integrations with shipping providers and fulfillment APIs for real-time inventory sync and automated order routing.

Any REST or GraphQL API. Common integrations include CRMs, payment processors, shipping services, email platforms, and custom internal systems.

Yes — I design and build RESTful APIs with authentication, rate limiting, documentation, and proper error handling.

OAuth 2.0, API keys, JWT tokens, and encrypted communication. All integrations follow security best practices.

I build integration layers with versioning and abstraction so API changes don’t break your application.

Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS for the frontend. Node.js, PostgreSQL, and various cloud services for the backend. I pick the tools that fit your project, not a one-size-fits-all stack.

Yes. I regularly build frontends that consume existing REST or GraphQL APIs. I can also extend your API or build a new one alongside the frontend.

Depends on the project. NextAuth.js for simple auth, custom JWT flows for APIs, OAuth integrations for third-party login. Multi-tenant auth with role-based access for SaaS.

Yes — multi-tenant architecture, subscription billing with Stripe, team management, usage metering, and admin dashboards. I've built several from scratch.

Vercel for most Next.js apps (preview environments, edge functions, zero-config). AWS for apps that need more infrastructure control. CI/CD pipeline included.

Yes. I use DNS-level switchover with pre-propagation testing. Your site stays live on the old host until the new server is fully verified, then the cutover is seamless.

I handle it. Malware removal, vulnerability patching, hardening, and a full post-incident report. Prevention is the priority — most managed sites never get compromised.

Daily automated backups stored offsite. 30-day retention. I test restores periodically to make sure they actually work — not just that the backup file exists.

Yes. You get SFTP access and can request SSH if needed. But most clients prefer to let me handle the server side entirely.

Cloudways, DigitalOcean, and AWS — chosen based on your site’s traffic, geographic needs, and budget. I’m not locked into one provider.

Regular hosting gives you a server and wishes you luck. Managed hosting means I actively maintain, secure, optimize, and monitor your site. You don’t touch the server.

Design, development, managed hosting, SEO setup, analytics, and ongoing support and maintenance. Everything you need to launch and grow your web presence.

Pricing depends on project scope. The Full Package typically saves 20-30% compared to sourcing each service separately because there's no duplicate discovery or coordination overhead. Get a free quote for your specific needs.

No — I handle all technical aspects. You provide content and feedback, and I handle everything else. You have a single point of contact for every question.

Absolutely. Many clients start with development and add hosting and support when they see the value. All services work standalone too.

Typical projects take 6-12 weeks depending on scope. Simple business sites are faster; complex web apps with custom features take longer. I'll give you a specific timeline in the quote.

Great — we skip the design phase and go straight to development. The Full Package is flexible; you only pay for what you need.
