02 / Services
Build it, fix it, keep it running.
I take on new projects and work inside websites that already exist. If you have a design in Figma, Sketch, XD or PSD, I can turn it into a WordPress or Shopify theme your team can manage.

What types of websites do you build?
Business and corporate websites, eCommerce stores, news and publishing sites, landing pages, multilingual and Arabic RTL sites, and static websites. Most run on WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify or Hugo.
Can you work on an existing WordPress website?
Yes. A large share of my work is on established websites: adding features, fixing issues, improving speed, updating themes and plugins, or redesigning sections without rebuilding everything.
Do you develop WooCommerce and Shopify stores?
Yes. I build and customize WooCommerce stores and Shopify themes, including custom Liquid sections, product and collection templates, metafields, subscriptions and app integrations.
Can you convert Figma or other design files into a website?
Yes. I convert Figma, Sketch, XD and PSD designs into responsive WordPress themes, page builder layouts, Shopify themes or Hugo templates. Before starting, I point out anything in the design that needs adjusting for mobile or for the platform.
Do you offer website maintenance and ongoing support?
Yes. Ongoing support can cover updates, backups, security checks, bug fixes, performance work and small improvements. We agree the scope and schedule together.
Can you fix bugs and troubleshoot plugin conflicts?
Yes. Tell me what’s happening and when it started. I’ll find the cause, explain it in plain terms and fix it, on a staging copy first wherever possible.
Can you integrate APIs and automate workflows?
Yes. I connect websites with CRMs and marketing tools such as HubSpot, Zoho, Mailchimp and ActiveCampaign, build custom REST API integrations, and set up AI chatbots and automations where they save real time.
How does your project process work?
It starts with a call to understand your goals, followed by a written scope. Design, development and testing come next, then launch and optional ongoing support. Smaller tasks skip the stages they don’t need.
How do you determine project cost and timeline?
Both depend on scope, complexity and how much of the content and design is ready. Once we’ve discussed your requirements, I’ll give you a clear estimate before any work begins.
Can you work with international clients?
Yes. I work remotely with clients and agencies in different countries and time zones, and keep in touch by email, WhatsApp or video calls, whichever suits you.
