USEFUL BEFORE COMPLICATED

A website should make
the next step easier.

I’m Ali Rehman, the freelance web developer behind alirehmandev.com, based in Lahore, Pakistan. My primary hands-on experience is WordPress and PHP: business websites, Elementor, ACF, WooCommerce and custom functionality. I also build scoped Next.js websites and web applications using AI-assisted implementation and testing.

A business owner should be able to explain the problem without knowing the technical vocabulary. I start with what the site needs to do: explain an offer, take an enquiry, sell a product, or make an everyday task easier.

I have built client websites and web applications as part of an agency team. Those deliveries are separate from the independently branded projects shown here; client code, screenshots and private data are not reused.

Remote work, written decisions and one direct point of contact. No sales handoff.

View the development services
What kinds of projects are a good fit?

Business websites, editable WordPress sites, WooCommerce setup, Elementor or plugin fixes, and scoped redesigns or migrations. A custom web application or integration starts with a requirements review rather than a promise to implement every feature or platform.

Explore WordPress development
What is his React and Next.js experience?

WordPress and PHP are my primary professional experience. I have foundational React knowledge and practical Next.js, TypeScript and PostgreSQL project experience through AI-assisted implementation and testing. Complex requirements are reviewed before agreeing to delivery.

Read an implemented project case study
Are the portfolio projects completed client work?

The public portfolio presents completed personal websites and applications, not claimed independent client engagements. The portfolio website, Softora Guide and ByteVerse are personal implementations. Case-study visuals distinguish actual screenshots from representative artwork; agency experience is described separately without publishing private client code or data.

Check each project’s current status
Can a project be managed remotely without calls?

Work directly with the developer through a written brief, scope, quote and review points. Email, messages and staging links can cover the project without scheduled calls.

Send a non-confidential project brief
How are pricing, support and project ownership agreed?

A written proposal defines deliverables, review points, price, handover and support. Hosting, domains, premium licences and external service fees are separate unless explicitly included. New features and ongoing maintenance have their own agreed scope. The enquiry starts with goals and a public URL, not passwords or private customer data.

Softora Guide

An implemented personal software-discovery website built with Next.js. The case study shows its interface and content structure; it is not WordPress client-work evidence.

ByteVerse

A separate personal website with developer tools, software reviews and technical guides. No traffic, revenue or client-delivery claim is made here.

Personal projects and agency experience are separate. Portfolio case studies describe independent builds; representative artwork is labelled and does not establish client results, production security or independent endorsements.

FIND A STARTING POINT

Find your project fit.

Choose the task closest to yours. This is rough direction, not an automated assessment, a site audit or a quote.

What do you want to do?

Start with WordPress & WooCommerce

An editable business website or WooCommerce store is closest to my primary WordPress and PHP work, including Elementor, ACF and custom functionality.

Three things to prepare

  1. Which pages or product types need to be editable?
  2. What should visitors be able to do on the site?
  3. Is there a public website URL or design reference to use?

Scope note. Store features, payment setup and any paid licences need an agreed scope. This checklist is not a price or delivery commitment.

A blank checklist for your own notes. Copying does not send a message.

Start with the problem, not a rebuild

For a broken page, form, plugin or layout, describe what fails and what should happen. The cause needs review before a fix can be agreed.

Three things to prepare

  1. Which public URL shows the issue, if it is publicly visible?
  2. What happens, and what did you expect instead?
  3. When did it start, and what changed just before it?

Scope note. Repairs are scoped after review, not offered as 24/7 or emergency support. Backup, staging and safe testing needs are agreed before changes.

A blank checklist for your own notes. Copying does not send a message.

Keep what works. Rework the rest.

A redesign or migration starts with deciding what to keep, what to change and what must keep working. A visual refresh and a platform move are different scopes.

Three things to prepare

  1. What is the current public website URL and platform?
  2. Which pages, content or features must stay?
  3. What needs to change, and is a platform move part of it?

Scope note. Content, redirects, integrations and live orders need a migration plan. Search rankings and uninterrupted service are not guaranteed by a redesign.

A blank checklist for your own notes. Copying does not send a message.

Plan around the business

For a website with a specific layout or business workflow, define the pages and visitor journey first. WordPress or custom development can then be reviewed against the brief.

Three things to prepare

  1. What is the main job of the website, and who is it for?
  2. Which pages and visitor actions are essential?
  3. What content, public references or existing systems are ready?

Scope note. The technology follows the brief, not this selection. Editing tools, integrations, content and handover are agreed in writing after a fit review.

A blank checklist for your own notes. Copying does not send a message.

Map the enquiry to the CRM

For website enquiries that need to reach HubSpot, map the form fields, destination properties and follow-up steps before choosing tools or automations.

Three things to prepare

  1. Which website platform and form tool are involved?
  2. Which HubSpot plan is available, if known?
  3. Which field types and follow-up steps need to connect?

Scope note. Independent setup help, not a HubSpot partner service. Available forms, workflows and integrations depend on your HubSpot plan and third-party limits.

A blank checklist for your own notes. Copying does not send a message.

Define one useful first version

For a portal, dashboard or small web application, start with one clear workflow and a limited first version. Requirements need a fit review before any delivery agreement.

Three things to prepare

  1. What single workflow should the first version handle?
  2. Which user roles need access, and what may each role do?
  3. Which integrations and non-sensitive sample data types are needed?

Scope note. The developer's primary experience is WordPress/PHP; React knowledge is foundational. Next.js, TypeScript and PostgreSQL project work is AI-assisted. App scope, testing and support require a fit review.

A blank checklist for your own notes. Copying does not send a message.

A public URL and a plain description are enough to start. No passwords, access keys, private form submissions, payment details or customer data are needed.
