About me

Working with businesses across UK.

UK businesses tend to want two things from a developer: straight talk and no surprises on the invoice. That suits how I work: fixed quotes in pounds, realistic timelines, and honest advice when something isn’t worth paying for.

The timezone makes collaboration easy: with only a few hours between us, most of your day overlaps mine, so reviews and fixes happen in real time rather than overnight. Communication is in clear written English, over email or whatever your team already uses.

Every build is documented and fully handed over, so your team, or any UK developer, can maintain the site without me. No lock-in, no dependency.

Most developers treat SEO as someone else’s job. I don’t. Page structure, headings, internal links, schema and performance are planned before the first section is built, not patched in later.

Timezone overlap

Pakistan is only 4–5 hours ahead of the UK, so most of your working day overlaps mine. Morning messages are answered before your lunchtime, and calls are easy to schedule.

Selected work

Selected work built for clarity,

Environmental · Construction Waste Management

SoilEx

A UK waste management consultancy needed to explain a technical, cost-saving service to construction clients, and prove it with real project outcomes rather than claims.
A credibility-led build fronting recent work such as the Brickfields Sports Centre redevelopment and Quinn Groundworks, with the SoilEx Retainer presented as a clear ongoing engagement model.

Trades · Plumbing & Heating, Düsseldorf

Schreiber Haustechnik

A Düsseldorf Meisterbetrieb offering sanitary and heating work needed a German-language site that conveys master-craftsman credibility and makes its emergency callout impossible to miss when someone is searching mid-crisis.
A calm German-language build covering Sanitär, Heizung and Rohrreinigung, with the Notdienst and Kundendienst routes surfaced prominently for urgent local searches.

Staffing · Recruitment & Workforce Solutions

Empro US

A nationwide US staffing agency covering industrial, logistics, healthcare, manufacturing, IT and construction needed one site to serve two audiences pulling in opposite directions: employers who want to hire, and candidates who want work.
A dual-path build that separates the employer and candidate journeys from the first click, with sector-by-sector service pages and an integrated job search that keeps applicants moving without leaving the site.

Work process

A clear process from
first call to launch.

1

Discovery

We talk through your goals, audience, competitors and what the website actually needs to achieve for the business.

2

Structure & Strategy

Sitemap, page structure and keyword mapping are agreed before design begins, so SEO is built in, not retrofitted.

3

Design & Development

The site is designed and built in WordPress with clean Elementor containers, global styles and responsive layouts.

4

Testing & Launch

Cross-device testing, speed checks, redirects and Search Console setup, then a smooth, monitored launch.

Not just a developer

Two disciplines.
One connected outcome.

Development decisions affect SEO, and SEO requirements shape development. I work across both so they reinforce each other.

WordPress Development

Clean, maintainable builds that stay fast as they grow.

SEO

Foundations that help the right people find you.

FAQ

Common questions,
answered honestly.

Yes. UK clients are a regular part of my work. With only a 4–5 hour difference, collaboration feels local: morning briefs are usually answered before your lunch.
Fixed quotes in GBP before work begins, with a proper invoice on delivery. As I invoice from Pakistan, UK VAT is not charged. Your accountant can confirm how that applies to your books.
Easily. Your 9am–5pm sits comfortably inside my working window, so calls, reviews and quick fixes all happen during your business day.
Your business does: all access, files and documentation are handed over in full, and the site is built so any developer can maintain it.
