Waqas Ali Shah

Hi, I'm Waqas, a WordPress developer with over 8 years of hands-on experience building high-performance websites for startups, small businesses, agencies, and large enterprises. I specialize in creating custom WordPress solutions that are fast, scalable, secure, and easy to manage.

Over the years, I’ve worked on a wide range of projects — from simple landing pages and blog setups to complex eCommerce stores, membership platforms, multi-language sites, and fully custom themes and plugins. Whether you need a brand-new site built from scratch, a redesign of an existing one, or performance optimizations, I bring a deep understanding of WordPress and the broader web ecosystem to every project.

What I Do Best:

• Custom WordPress Development: Tailor-made themes and plugins that match your brand and functionality needs.
• WooCommerce Development: Build and customize online stores for seamless shopping experiences and conversion optimization.
• Website Speed & SEO Optimization: Ensure your site loads quickly and meets best practices for technical SEO.
• Responsive Design: Fully mobile-optimized builds that look and work beautifully across all devices.
• Page Builders: Skilled with Elementor, WPBakery, Divi, and Gutenberg, depending on your preference.
• Third-Party Integrations: Payment gateways, CRMs, marketing tools, booking systems — you name it.
• Security & Maintenance: Set up proper backups, security hardening, and ongoing care plans to keep your site safe and running smoothly.

Why Clients Work With Me:

• I focus on clean, maintainable code and user-friendly interfaces.
• I prioritize performance, accessibility, and modern design.
• I believe in clear, timely communication and always meet deadlines.
• I take pride in delivering not just a website, but a solution that helps your business grow.
