Freelance web developer in Karachi, building for clients worldwide.

How a project runs

Four steps, the same whether you are in Karachi or California.

  1. Brief

    You tell me what the site has to do and what is in the way. I ask the questions that expose scope early, then send a fixed quote and timeline.

  2. Build

    I work on a staging copy and share a link from the first days, so you watch the site take shape and can redirect before anything is locked in.

  3. Check

    Every page is tested on real phones and browsers, measured for speed, and checked for SEO basics: titles, schema, redirects, indexing.

  4. Launch & support

    I move the site live with backups in place, hand over a short guide to running it, and stay available for fixes and changes.

A web developer in Pakistan you deal with directly

I started in SEO, moved into WordPress development, and now lead a web team as well as running my own freelance practice. That mix matters: I build sites that load fast and rank, because I spent years fixing the ones that did not.

I’m also the solo developer behind ToolzPedia, a platform of 38+ free online tools, so I know what it takes to run a live product, not only to ship one.

Questions clients ask

Not answered here? Ask in the form below.

Do you work with clients outside Pakistan?

Yes. Most of my work is for businesses in the United States and the United Kingdom, with clients in Canada and Europe as well. I work from Karachi (PKT, UTC+5) and keep overlap hours for US and UK clients, so questions get answered inside your working day.

Can I hire you for a project in Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad?

Yes. I build websites and online stores for businesses across Pakistan, and I can work in English, Urdu or Sindhi. Local clients can deal with me directly, with no agency in between.

How much does a website cost?

It depends on scope, so I quote a fixed price after a short brief instead of guessing. A small bug fix and a custom booking platform are very different jobs. Send the details through the form and I will reply with a price and a timeline.

My WordPress site was hacked. How quickly can you fix it?

Malware removal is urgent work and I treat it that way. I clean the infected files and database, remove backdoors and spam redirects, request blacklist reviews, and harden the site so the same hole cannot be used again. Message me on WhatsApp for the fastest start.

Which platforms do you work with?

WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify and BigCommerce on the CMS side, and custom builds in PHP, Laravel, React, Next.js and Node.js. I also convert Figma, XD and PSD designs into WordPress themes or hand-written HTML.

How do we work together and how do I pay?

You can hire me through Upwork, Fiverr or TaskPull if you prefer marketplace protection, or work with me directly by invoice. Either way you get a staging link during the build and a handover when it goes live.

Do you offer maintenance after launch?

Yes. I offer ongoing care for WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify and custom sites: updates, backups, security checks, speed monitoring and small changes when you need them.

Tell me about your project

Describe what you need and I will reply with questions, a fixed price and a timeline. For anything urgent, such as a hacked or broken site, WhatsApp is fastest.

Your details are only used to reply to you.
