Notes from real client work
Practical guides on WordPress, Shopify, speed, tracking and automation. A new one goes live every day.
How to Fix Largest Contentful Paint on a WordPress Site
Slow LCP means your page looks unfinished for too long. How to find the cause and fix it, step by step, on WordPress.
How to fix the WordPress white screen of death, step by step
A blank white page where your website should be is scary but usually fixable. The calm, step-by-step order I use to find the cause and bring the site back.
Conversion tracking you can trust: GTM, GA4 and Google Ads, tested end to end
If Google Ads and GA4 disagree, you can’t tell which ads work. Here’s how I set up conversion tracking so every form, call and sale is counted once.
FAQ
Questions people ask before they hire me
Anything else? Send me a message and ask.
Do you work alone or with a team?
Alone. You talk to the person who does the work, from the first message to launch.
Do you build Shopify stores too?
Yes. WordPress and Shopify are my two main platforms. I set up, customize and fix Shopify stores, and I build WooCommerce stores when you would rather stay on WordPress.
Where are you based?
Lahore, Pakistan. I work remotely and keep my hours flexible to overlap with US and UK business hours.
Can I edit the site myself afterwards?
Yes. I build with Elementor and global styles, and hand over a short guide, so you can change text and images without breaking the design.
Do you build on a live site?
No. Changes go to a staging copy first, get tested, then go live.
What do you need to start?
Your site link (or idea), what you want to fix or achieve, and two or three sites you like. Access comes later.
How do I hire you?
