How I work with Chicago businesses from Dhaka

Chicago is on Central time, 11 hours behind Dhaka in summer and 12 in winter. I work an evening shift, so a 9 am Central call is 8 pm for me.

What Chicago businesses ask me to build

  • Education and training sites

    Courses, enrolment and separate dashboards for learners, teachers and assessors, on LearnDash and WooCommerce.

  • Logistics and manufacturing sites

    Service pages, spec catalogs and quote request forms that reach the right person.

  • Care after launch

    Tested updates, backups and monitoring so a busy quarter does not meet a broken plugin.

Projects I've built, with live sites

What to check before you pick a wordpress developer in Chicago

  • 01

    Live projects to click through

    Ask for sites you can use, not screenshots. Mine are Open Alliance Learning, Tabby, Moneybag, each with a case study.

  • 02

    The admin side, not only the website

    Orders, users, stock and reports are where a business spends its day. Ask who builds those screens and who keeps them working.

  • 03

    One person from design to launch

    Fewer hand-offs means fewer misunderstandings. I research competitors, design the UI and UX, then build the frontend and backend myself.

  • 04

    A reply you can plan around

    You get an answer within 24 hours, prices in US dollars, and a written quote before work starts. Websites from $600, web applications from $999, WordPress builds from $300.

Services

How your project runs, step by step

  1. Step 01

    Study your competitors

    I look at what competitors do well and where they leave gaps, before a single screen is drawn.

  2. Step 02

    Design the UI and UX

    I design the screens myself, so what you approve is what gets built.

  3. Step 03

    Build frontend to backend

    Pages, accounts, orders, payments and the admin dashboard, built as one job.

  4. Step 04

    Launch and look after it

    Speed checked on a phone, then backups, monitoring and changes through website care.

Your questions about hiring a wordpress developer in Chicago

Ask something else on WhatsApp

Can you build a WordPress learning platform?

Yes. I built the WordPress LMS for Open Alliance Learning: enrolment and payment in one step, and a separate dashboard for learners, teachers and assessors.

How do I reach you in Chicago hours?

Chicago is 11 hours behind Dhaka in summer and 12 in winter. My evening covers your 8 am to early afternoon.

Do you only work on WordPress, or also custom sites in Chicago?

Both. When WordPress is the right tool I build custom themes and plugins. When a project needs accounts, roles or live data, I build a custom website or web app instead and tell you why.
