Small Business Web Developer
Hi, I’m Uzair, an independent developer specializing in WordPress and Shopify. I build websites that feel human in an increasingly automated world, connecting real people with authentic digital experiences they can trust.
About Me
I’m Uzair. Software engineering graduate. Built my first client site in 2020 and realized I’d rather work with 10 businesses I believe in than 100 I don’t.
I specialize in WordPress and Shopify because they’re the right tools for small businesses, flexible enough to customize, stable enough to trust, and straightforward enough that you’re not dependent on me forever.
My background in software engineering means I think in systems. I don’t just design pages, I architect information flows. Where does someone enter your site? What questions do they have? What do they need to see to trust you enough to take action?
Over 5 years, I’ve learned that the best websites aren’t the prettiest ones. They’re the ones where a business owner can say “yes, that’s exactly what I meant” and a customer can say “I know what to do next.”
I use the Website ROI Framework to help service businesses and creators build sites that actually drive revenue, not just look good in screenshots.
Why Me?
Most web projects fail because of misaligned expectations. Here’s how I prevent that:
Before You Pay Anything
- Free 30-minute discovery call to see if we're a fit
- Clear proposal with scope, timeline, and cost breakdown
- No hidden fees. No surprise add-ons.
During The Project
- Weekly check-ins so you're never wondering what's happening
- Working prototypes you can click through (not just mockups)
- Unlimited revisions on the homepage (because that's the most important page)
After Launch
- 30-day support window for bugs or tweaks
- Video walkthrough so you can update content yourself
- Option to keep me on retainer (but no pressure)
The Guarantee
- If you're not happy with the first homepage draft, I'll refund your deposit. No questions asked.
- I can do this because I've never had to. But it proves I'm not here to take your money and run.
Who I Work With
- Moving companies tired of losing leads to competitors with better sites
- Logistics startups that need to look credible to land enterprise contracts
- Home service providers (garage doors, excavation) where trust = conversions
- Anyone who knows their website should be their best salesperson, but it’s not
What You Get
- Mobile-first design that loads in under 2 seconds (because 60% of your traffic is on phones)
- Local SEO architecture that helps you rank for “[your service] near me” searches
- Clear calls-to-action that turn visitors into calls, not just pageviews
- Built on WordPress or Shopify, so you’re never locked into proprietary systems
The ROI Framework
- Audit: Where are you losing leads right now? (slow load times, unclear CTAs, missing trust signals)
- Strategy: What does success look like? (more calls, higher conversion rates, better rankings)
- Build: Launch a site designed to hit those specific goals
- Measure: Track real metrics (not just traffic, actual revenue impact)
Most Developers vs. My Approach
Most Developers:
- Build what you ask for (even if it won't work)
- Take 8-12 weeks and $5K+
- Disappear after launch
My Approach:
- Build what will actually get results (and tell you why)
- Launch in 3-5 weeks for transparent, fair pricing
- Stick around for support and optimization
The difference? I build for outcomes, not just impress.

I Put You Where Your Customers Are Buying
The Urgency of Visibility:
Right now, your next high-value client is on Google, searching for a service like yours: “Your Service Near Me.”
They’re typing keywords, reading reviews, and comparing websites. In an increasingly automated world, they will choose the business that looks the most credible and trustworthy, instantly.
The Cost of Inaction:
If your current site loads slowly, looks unprofessional and outdated, or, critically, lacks the genuine connection that builds real trust, you’re already losing the sale. They are calling your competition instead.
You are not just losing a lead; you’re losing revenue from customers you never even knew existed.
Authenticity Delivers These Results
More Leads
Less Time Wasted
Higher Conversion Rate
Attract high-value customers who feel a connection to your brand.
Stop wasting time convincing skeptical leads; they already trust you.
The customer who trusts you will buy from you.
Why Your Website Needs Maintenance
Your website is your most valuable business asset and requires regular care to remain secure and effective. Without routine updates, you risk exposing your site to threats that can damage your brand reputation. Here’s why timely maintenance matters:
Nearly 64% of companies worldwide have experienced a cyber attack at least once. This includes businesses of all sizes. If you think you’re not a target for hackers, think again. Regular website maintenance helps fix vulnerabilities before cybercriminals can exploit them, keeping your business asset safe.
Your website’s performance relies on timely updates to its core systems, software, and plugins. Without regular updates, your site risks slow loading, errors, and crashes that can drive visitors away. Routine maintenance keeps your site performing at its best, building trust and engagement with every visit.
Google prioritizes websites that are secure, fast, and up-to-date. Slow load times, functionality issues, and outdated content hurt user experience and search rankings. Regular updates help maintain your site’s visibility online.
Sites with consistent maintenance see up to 55% more visitors. A frequently updated website that loads quickly and works flawlessly gives users compelling reasons to return. Good maintenance influences user experience and helps attract more customers to your business.
When a website has functionality issues or outdated content, users lose trust in both the site and your brand. keeping your website up-to-date is necessary to build trust among customers and strengthen your credibility. A modern, responsive site keeps users engaged with your business.
Even a one-second delay in website speed can ruin the user experience and drive visitors away without any interaction. Regular updates create more opportunities for users to engage with your content and increase the time they spend on your site, leading to better conversion rates.
Fixing a compromised or malfunctioning website costs over $500 on average. Proactive maintenance reduces the risk of expensive emergency repairs and downtime, saving money in the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? You’re not alone! Find answers to common questions about my services below.
Web Design & Development
Here are answers to frequently asked questions about my web services, process, and capabilities.
I have a small, reliable team that I continue to grow. My core team has skilled designers, developers, and an SEO specialist. Together, we handle design, development, and SEO to deliver impactful results quickly for our clients and their businesses.
I follow a structured yet flexible process to ensure a smooth transition from design to development. Every step involves collaboration, keeping you informed and in control.
Process Overview:
Consultation → Planning → Strategy & Scope → Design → Client Feedback → Final Approval → Development → Testing → Launch
Nothing moves forward without a clear plan, and no design or feature is built without your approval. I don’t impose rigid deadlines because flexibility leads to better results. Every step is focused on building a website that works for your business and delivers real value.
The timeline depends on the complexity of your website. On average:
- A simple website: 4-6 weeks
- A custom website with advanced features: 6-12 weeks
- Extensive custom development: 12+ weeks
Once we define the scope, I’ll outline a clear timeline for each phase. I work closely with you to keep things moving and ensure a smooth launch. If you have a deadline in mind, I’ll do my best to meet it, but if you need a custom website built overnight, I may not be the right fit. My focus is on building a site that delivers real results, not just launching quickly. The biggest delays usually come from missing content or feedback, so staying engaged keeps everything on track.
I value your input at key decision points, particularly during the initial strategy, design approval, and content review phases. My project management approach aims to minimize demands on your time while ensuring the final product aligns with your vision.
Yes. Once your website is built, my team will provide a training session via Zoom or Teams. You’ll also receive a user manual for future reference. This helps new team members add content and serves as a quick guide if you forget how to make edits.
Yes, I provide fully managed WordPress hosting, which includes maintenance, security, and support in a single, all-in-one bill that covers everything. Your site is hosted on a high-performance server optimized for speed, security, and uptime, with proactive monitoring to catch issues before they affect your business. If you prefer to use your own hosting, I can help you choose the right plan and manage it for you.
Yes, my team ensures your WordPress site stays secure, fast, and up to date. We handle server and website maintenance, including core, theme, and plugin updates, backups, security monitoring, and troubleshooting. A staging environment is available for safe testing before updates go live. You’ll also receive regular performance and security reports, so you always know your site’s status. Focus on your business while we take care of the rest.
Yes, I offer SEO services to help improve your website’s rankings and drive organic traffic. We implement key practices such as tracking and monitoring rankings, optimizing content, and enhancing your site’s visibility. Our services include keyword research, full on-page optimization, technical SEO, and building backlinks. We also create targeted content to draw more visitors from Google.
I have worked with clients in many industries, but I now focus on a few key sectors to deliver faster, more consistent results. My main focus is on HVAC, Real Estate, Movers & Packers, Roofing, Plumbing, Construction & Excavation, Consulting, Electrical, Garage Door, and Septic companies. If your business is in a different area, feel free to reach out. I am open to discussing new projects if they are a good match.
To begin, I typically require:
- Your brand guidelines (logo, colors, fonts)
- A list of key features you want
- Examples of websites you like
- Any existing content (text, images, videos)
- Your goals and target audience details
The structured onboarding process will guide you through providing all necessary information efficiently.
Pre-built templates from DIY builders are affordable and quick to set up, but they come with limitations. They rarely provide the exact look and functionality your business needs. Even if a theme has the right features, it won’t help your brand stand out. Your business is unique, and your website should reflect that.
A custom design is built around your goals, giving you full control over branding, performance, and future updates. It ensures an intuitive user experience and supports long-term growth. While the upfront cost is higher, the long-term benefits include better engagement, higher conversions, and a stronger return on investment, making it a smart choice.
Website Maintenance
Have questions about maintenance? This section covers maintenance topics.
Signs that your website requires maintenance include slow load times, poor search rankings, frequent errors or bugs, an outdated design, and malfunctioning plugins. Creating a regular maintenance plan can help prevent these issues before they impact your site.
The frequency of maintenance depends on your website’s complexity and activity. Sites with many plugins or frequent updates may benefit from weekly maintenance, while simpler sites can often be maintained on a monthly schedule. In all cases, security updates and regular backups should be prioritized.
Absolutely. I can create custom maintenance plans built around your specific requirements.
Platform Selection
Frequently Asked Questions for Choosing the Right Website Platform.
Consider your business type (service-based, product-based, or hybrid), budget, technical expertise, scalability needs, and whether you want to DIY or hire a developer. Think about how much time you can devote to website management and maintenance.
Depending on the platform, you can create eCommerce stores, portfolios, blogs, business sites, event pages, membership sites, and more. The right choice depends on your specific goals and how you plan to expand your online presence.
For beginners, Wix, Squarespace, and Shopify require minimal technical skills. WordPress with page builders (Elementor, Divi) has a moderate learning curve. Advanced solutions like custom WordPress and Webflow development require more technical knowledge.
Proprietary systems lock you in with a single provider, making migration difficult if you change agencies. Widely used platforms like WordPress, Shopify, or Webflow offer better flexibility and support options.
WordPress is ideal for blogs, service-based businesses, membership sites, and highly customizable websites.
Pros:
✓ Flexible with thousands of plugins and themes
✓ Best SEO control
✓ Scales well with business growth
Cons:
✗ Requires regular updates and security management
✗ Can have a learning curve
✗ Needs reliable hosting (not included)
Shopify is best for eCommerce businesses that need a dedicated store with built-in checkout and inventory management.
Pros:
✓ All-in-one solution for eCommerce
✓ Secure and fully hosted
✓ Supports various payment gateways
Cons:
✗ Monthly fees ($29-299) plus transaction costs
✗ Limited functionality outside of eCommerce
✗ Can be restrictive for complex customizations
Wix is great for beginners, small businesses, portfolios, and personal sites needing a simple solution.
Pros:
✓ Intuitive drag-and-drop editor
✓ No coding required
✓ Automatic updates and hosting included
Cons:
✗ Limited design flexibility for complex sites
✗ Difficult to migrate to another platform
✗ SEO limitations compared to WordPress
Webflow is ideal for designers and businesses wanting a highly customized site with advanced animations without extensive coding.
Pros:
✓ Greater design control and animation capabilities
✓ Clean, high-performance code
✓ No plugin maintenance required
Cons:
✗ Steep learning curve
✗ Higher hosting costs
✗ More limited integration options than WordPress
Squarespace is best for creatives, photographers, restaurants, and simple business sites.
Pros:
✓ Beautiful, professional templates
✓ All-in-one solution with hosting
✓ Built-in blogging and eCommerce options
Cons:
✗ Limited design customization
✗ Fewer integration options
✗ Migration to other platforms is difficult
Consider Framer for interactive, animation-heavy designs and Weebly for very simple, budget-friendly sites.
- WordPress: Free software; $3-30/month hosting; $30-100 for themes; $0-200/year for premium plugins
- Shopify: $29-299/month plus transaction fees (1.5-2%)
- Wix: $16-45/month (hosting included)
- Webflow: $14-39/month for hosting; higher for CMS sites
- Squarespace: $16-49/month (hosting included)
Consider domain registration ($10-20/year), premium plugins/apps, custom development if needed, and ongoing maintenance costs, which vary by platform.
WordPress requires regular updates to core, themes, and plugins. Shopify, Wix, and Squarespace handle most updates automatically. All platforms benefit from regular content updates and monitoring.
Yes, but migration often requires rebuilding aspects of your site. Content usually transfers, but design and functionality typically need reconstruction. WordPress and Webflow offer better migration paths than proprietary platforms.
A well-built website typically lasts 2-4 years before needing significant updates, regardless of platform. Technology changes, design trends, and your business evolution all impact this timeline.
Yes. WordPress and Webflow offer the most SEO control. Shopify is strong for eCommerce SEO. Wix and Squarespace have improved their SEO capabilities but offer less customization.
WordPress requires regular updates and security monitoring. Hosted platforms (Shopify, Wix, Squarespace) manage most security automatically. All websites benefit from regular backups and content updates.
