Hire a WordPress developer who builds it properly
Custom WordPress themes, plugins, fixes and maintenance from Bikas Kumar, a full-stack developer with more than ten years of WordPress work for brands in India, the UK, Europe and Australia.

- Plugins
- WooCommerce
- Speed & SEO
- WP Engine / Hostinger
Most WordPress problems come from how a site was built, not from WordPress itself: a page builder stacked on a heavy theme, a pile of overlapping plugins, or nobody owning updates. When you hire me, you get one developer who reads the code, explains the trade-offs in plain language and fixes the cause instead of adding another plugin.
I work across the whole WordPress lifecycle: new builds from a Figma or a reference site, rescues of half-finished projects, migrations between hosts, and ongoing maintenance on managed hosting such as WP Engine. On this portfolio's own site I recently found every page printing four title tags and four canonical URLs because of overlapping SEO plugins. Cleaning that up took a morning, and every page now has exactly one of each.
Services
What you can hire me to build
Custom theme development
Hand-coded PHP themes, or block themes, built from your design. Fast, accessible, and with no page builder unless you want one.
Plugin development
Custom functionality as a proper plugin or mu-plugin: integrations, custom post types, admin tools, REST endpoints.
Speed and Core Web Vitals
Remove unused plugins and scripts, set up caching and image formats, and fix layout shift and slow server responses.
Technical SEO for WordPress
One SEO plugin configured properly, plus clean titles, canonicals, sitemaps and schema.
Maintenance and security
Core and plugin updates with staging checks, backups, malware cleanup and hardening, on WP Engine, Hostinger, cPanel or AWS.
Migrations and rescues
Move hosts without downtime, take over sites from another developer, and fix broken builds.

FAQ
Questions about hiring a WordPress Developer
How much does it cost to hire a WordPress developer?
It depends on scope. A small fix can be done in a few hours, while a custom theme or plugin is a fixed-price project. Send your brief and I'll reply with a written quote and a timeline before any work starts.
Can you work on a site another developer built?
Yes. Taking over existing sites is a large part of my work. I start with a short audit of the theme, plugins and hosting, then tell you what is safe to keep and what needs fixing.
Do you use Elementor or other page builders?
I can work with Elementor, Divi or Gutenberg when a site already uses them. For new builds I usually recommend a custom theme or a block theme, because it is faster and easier to maintain. You choose.
Do you offer monthly WordPress maintenance?
Yes: updates tested on staging, uptime and backup checks, security monitoring, and a set amount of development time each month.
Will my site be SEO-friendly?
Yes. Every build ships with clean markup, one heading structure per page, correct titles and canonicals, an XML sitemap, schema where it fits, and fast loading. Rankings also depend on content and competition, so I won't promise a position.
