Hire a WordPress Developer Who Builds Sites That Load Fast and Sell
I’m Ajay Khandal, a freelance WordPress expert and developer with 14+ years of experience. I work remotely with businesses, agencies and store owners worldwide from custom themes and WooCommerce stores to speed fixes, migrations and ongoing maintenance.
What does a WordPress developer actually do?
I plan, build and maintain WordPress websites from custom theme code and WooCommerce to performance, security and emergency fixes so your site stays fast, safe and easy to grow.
Need a WordPress Consultant Before You Spend on a Rebuild?
Beyond individual website builds, businesses also engage me as a WordPress consultant. This includes auditing an existing site, resolving issues left behind by a previous developer, and planning the technical approach before a redesign. As a remote WordPress developer working across US, UK, EU and AU business hours, I offer senior-level guidance without the cost of travel or agency overheads.
WordPress Development Services for Every Stage of Your Site
How a Project Runs From First Message to Launch
Discovery
We start with a short call or a few messages about what you want to achieve. Then I send a written plan you can read at your own pace.
Fixed quote
You receive an itemised price and a realistic timeline. The number you approve is the number you pay unless you decide to add something new.
Build and review
I work on a private staging copy of your site and share progress as I go. You can check in whenever you like and see exactly where things are.
Launch and care
I handle the launch carefully and give you notes on how everything works. If you want, I can keep looking after the site every month.
How a UK Fashion Store Cut Mobile Load Time by 77%
This WooCommerce store had so many plugins that mobile shoppers were leaving before the checkout page finished loading. Over three weeks I rebuilt the performance side without touching the design. By the end, every Core Web Vitals score was green.

Remote WordPress Help for Clients in Four Regions
What Clients Say After Working With Me
“Fantastic Developer. Very knowledgeable. Very patient. Works extremely hard. Very good English Skills. Good communication skills. Takes the time to understand the project scope and the minor details in your project. I am very impressed.”
“Great developers! All the team are professionally, it's a pleasure work with them :). I, sincerely, recommend it.”
“Worked with them in several projects. They are always good and responsive. More projects will be coming.”
Questions Clients Often Ask Before Hiring Me
Most of my projects fall between $900 and $4,500, and larger builds can go higher. The pricing page shows the details. After a short chat about your needs, I send one fixed, itemised quote. There's no hourly meter running in the background.
Many clients in the US, UK and Europe hire a WordPress expert in India because they get strong technical skills at a fairer price. The usual worry is communication. I reply within a few hours, write in clear English, and schedule calls in your time zone. For many clients it ends up easier than working with a local agency.
On weekdays I reply to new enquiries and existing clients in under 5 hours on average. If your site is down, I treat it as urgent and aim to have it back online the same day.
I work remotely with clients in the United States, the United Kingdom, across Europe and in Australia. Calls are booked around your working day, whether you are on EST, GMT, CET or AEST.
Yes, completely. The code, content, hosting and accounts are all yours. At launch I hand over full access along with notes on how everything fits together, so you are never tied to me.
Yes. My monthly care plans include updates, backups, security monitoring and uptime checks. Each plan also comes with a set amount of time every month for small changes.
The main ones are custom theme development, WooCommerce builds and migrations, speed optimization for Core Web Vitals, moving sites between hosts without downtime, security hardening, and monthly care plans. I do every job myself and never pass work to subcontractors.
Both, and the difference is worth knowing. A developer writes the code. A WordPress expert knows how to use the platform to fix a business problem. Most clients don't just want a website built. They want pages that load faster, more enquiries or a store that sells better. The best WordPress experts I know think about the business first and the code second, and that's how I approach every project.
It depends on the project. An agency makes sense when you need a large team working at once. For most business sites and stores, a freelancer WordPress developer is quicker to reach, costs less and knows your site inside out, because there is no handover between staff. Everything happens by email, WhatsApp or video call, so being remote never slows the work down.
