Hire a WordPress Developer Who Designs and Builds Your Site
Work directly with a Certified WordPress Web Designer and developer, with 1,800+ clients and 2,000+ projects delivered, on a new website, a redesign, Elementor Pro work or ongoing support.
Overview
A WordPress Expert You Hire Directly
When you hire a WordPress developer, you want one person who understands the business goal, designs the pages and builds them properly, without a chain of handoffs. I am Md Saiful Islam, a Certified WordPress Web Designer and developer and the founder of Mr Saiful, my Upwork agency. I work directly with business owners and marketing teams across the US, remotely from Bangladesh.
Most of my work is custom WordPress website design and development built from scratch with WordPress, Elementor Pro and the Astra or Hello Elementor theme. I also handle redesigns, migrations to WordPress, WooCommerce stores, Figma to WordPress builds, fixes and ongoing maintenance, and WordPress consulting when you need an expert opinion on platform, structure or plugin choices before you commit to a build.
Not sure what you need yet? Read about custom WordPress website design, browse the portfolio of live client websites, read how to choose a WordPress web designer, or send me your project details.
Whether you are looking for a freelance WordPress developer for one project or want to hire a dedicated WordPress developer for ongoing work, you get the same person: a WordPress specialist and consultant who designs, builds and supports the site.

Challenges
When to Hire a WordPress Developer
- You need a new business website built properly from the start
- Your current site looks outdated or no longer brings inquiries
- You have a Figma, XD or PSD design that needs building in WordPress
- Your Elementor site has layout problems or needs new pages
- You want to move from Wix, Squarespace or another builder to WordPress
- Nobody is looking after updates, backups and fixes
Approach
How Hiring Me Works
You share what the business does, what the website has to achieve, and any existing site, design files or deadline. I review it and we talk it through on a free consultation call.
You then receive a written scope: the pages, features and stack, what is included and what is not, and a quote. Work starts only after you approve it.
During the build you review the pages and request changes. Before launch I test forms, mobile layouts and key pages, then hand the site over with guidance so your team can update content.

FAQ
Hiring a WordPress Developer: FAQ
How much does it cost to hire a WordPress developer?
It depends on the number of pages, the features, the design work and any content or migration involved. I do not publish a price list; after a short review of your project I send a written scope and quote.
Can you work on a WordPress site someone else built?
Yes. I start with a review of how the site is built, then fix, redesign or extend it. For ongoing care, see WordPress website maintenance.
Do you only build with Elementor?
Elementor Pro with the Astra or Hello Elementor theme is my primary stack. If your project requires another WordPress theme or page builder, such as Divi or the block editor, I can work with it.
Can you build from my Figma or PSD design?
Yes. I convert Figma, XD and PSD designs into responsive, editable WordPress websites built in Elementor Pro.
Do you work with US businesses remotely?
Yes. I work remotely from Bangladesh with businesses across the US. Calls are booked through my calendar link, and day-to-day communication runs by email or WhatsApp.
How long does a WordPress website take?
It depends on the scope and how quickly content and feedback arrive. The timeline is agreed in the written scope before work starts.
Will I be able to update the site myself?
Yes. Sites are built in Elementor Pro with global styles and reusable sections, and I show your team how to edit pages at handover.
Can you maintain the site after launch?
Yes. Updates, backups, checks and content changes are available through WordPress website maintenance.
