WordPress Development Company

Most WordPress sites break quietly, then all at once

We build, maintain, and rescue WordPress sites for businesses in 102 Indian cities, with real developer hours attached instead of a plugin that emails you after something already went wrong. Gaurav has been building on WordPress since 2008 and contributes to WordPress core.

Replies within one business day. You keep the code, the hosting, and every backup in your own name.

“We are scared to run updates.”

Updates belong on a staging clone with a visual diff, not on production at 2am. See care plans

“We need a custom feature the plugins do not do.”

That is plugin work, and it is scoped separately from a site build. See custom development

“Our site was built by someone we can no longer reach.”

We take over inherited sites, starting with an audit that is honest about what we find. See how takeover works

Three ways in

Pick by whether you need keeping, building, or rescuing

Maintenance, custom development, and platform work are priced separately because they are genuinely different jobs with different risks.

Care plan

You want the site kept safe and current

For business sites that need someone watching but rarely change week to week.

from $149per month

One site · 48-hour response

  • Core, theme, and plugin updates on a staging clone
  • Daily offsite backups with a quarterly restore drill
  • Uptime monitoring with a human escalation, not just a dashboard
  • Malware scanning and firewall upkeep
  • Monthly one-page health report
See care plans

If an update breaks the site, we roll it back and fix it at no extra cost.

Platform work

The site has outgrown how it was built

For multisite networks, integrations, and sites where the architecture itself is now the problem.

from $6,000

Architecture and integration work

  • API integrations with the systems you already run
  • Multisite and migration work planned before executed
  • Performance engineered at the database and query level
  • Staging, version control, and deployment set up properly
  • Documentation so your next developer is not guessing
Scope platform work

We will say plainly when the honest answer is a rebuild rather than more patching.

WordPress work is delivered remotely and quoted in dollars, matching the published rates on the maintenance and plugin development pages. We do not resell hosting, so leaving us never means moving your site.

How it runs

Four stages, each ending in something you can hold

Inherited WordPress sites hide their problems well. Every stage below produces something you can check rather than trust.

  1. 01

    Inventory what is actually there

    Week 1

    Plugins, PHP and WordPress versions, existing backups, and everything installed then abandoned. Most sites we take over are running at least one plugin nobody remembers adding.

    You leave with: a written inventory and the risks ranked.

  2. 02

    Make it safe to change

    Weeks 1 to 3

    Staging, version control, and a tested backup come before any feature work. Without them, every later change is a gamble taken on your live site.

    You leave with: a staging environment and a restore you have watched work.

  3. 03

    Build or fix

    Scope dependent

    Features get built as proper plugins and fixes get made in code rather than in a settings panel, so a theme update cannot quietly undo them.

    You leave with: code in your repository, documented and reviewable.

  4. 04

    Hand back with the keys

    On delivery

    Access, documentation, and the reasoning stay with you. We are deliberately easy to leave, because that is the only version of this that is fair.

    You leave with: ownership of everything, in your accounts.

Honest fit

Worth booking, or worth looking elsewhere

WordPress work attracts vague retainers. Half this list is reasons we say no.

Worth booking

  • Your site earns money, generates leads, or represents a real business.
  • You want someone accountable when something breaks at 2am.
  • You can give us admin and hosting access, or get it for us.
  • You would rather pay monthly than pay for an emergency rebuild.
  • You want to keep owning your hosting, domain, and backups.

Look elsewhere

  • Your budget is under $149 a month. Managed hosting with automatic backups will serve you better and we will name one.
  • You want hosting included. We deliberately do not resell it, so you are never locked to us to stay online.
  • Your site is a hobby project with no revenue. A retainer is hard to justify and we will say so.
  • You want unlimited development hours. Nobody delivers that honestly, so our hours are named and capped.
  • You need 24/7 phone support. Same business day is the fastest we promise, and we would rather promise it than miss it.
City index

WordPress development across 102 Indian cities

Each city has its own page covering what businesses there typically need. Filter to find yours.

WordPress work is delivered remotely, so the index shows where we have written a local page rather than where we can work.

Before you ask

The questions that decide it

Something not covered? Ask directly and you will get a straight answer, not a calendar link.

Is hosting included?

No, deliberately. Bundling hosting means leaving us also means moving your site, which is a lock-in dressed up as convenience. You keep hosting in your own name and we work inside it.

What happens if an update breaks something?

Updates run on a staging clone first and get visually compared before they touch production. If something still breaks, we roll it back and fix it without an extra invoice, because that is the job you paid for.

Do you work with page builders?

Yes, including Bricks and GenerateBlocks, and Gaurav has been a Bricks expert. We will tell you when a builder is the reason a site is slow, but we are not precious about it.

Can you take over a site someone else built?

Usually yes, and that is most of what we do. The audit comes first and it is honest, including when the honest answer is that rebuilding costs less than untangling.

Will we own the code?

Yes. Custom work is delivered as a proper plugin in your repository, documented, with no license check phoning home to us. You can hire anyone to maintain it afterwards.

Our city is not listed. Do you still work there?

Usually yes. WordPress work is delivered remotely, so the index below shows where we have written a local page rather than the limit of where we work.

Next step

Tell us what worries you about your site

Send the URL and whatever keeps you up at night, whether that is an ancient plugin, a backup nobody has tested, or a form you are not sure still works. You will get a straight read on what needs doing and what does not.

Replies within one business day. Onboarding audits start within a week.
