Hiring and pricing
- How much does it cost to hire Harsh Prajapati?
- Development is billed hourly at $10 to $15 (USD) depending on the work, or as a fixed quote per project. After a short call you get a written scope and price before any work starts.
- How much does a business website cost?
- A business website is priced as a fixed quote based on the number of pages and features. You get the written quote after a short call, so there are no surprises later.
- How much does a custom CRM or web app cost?
- A custom CRM or web app is quoted on its scope: the screens, roles, reports and integrations it needs. I break the work into weekly steps and give one fixed price for the agreed scope.
- Do you work alone or with a team?
- I work alone, so you always talk directly to the person writing your code. For bigger jobs I bring in trusted specialists, and I always tell you upfront.
- Why hire a freelance developer instead of an agency?
- With a freelancer you deal with the person doing the work, decisions are faster and you are not paying for account managers or an office. An agency makes more sense when a project needs many people at once.
- Do you sign an agreement or NDA?
- Yes. The written scope and quote act as the agreement, and I sign an NDA when a project needs one.
Process and timeline
- How does a project start?
- A project starts with a free call about what you need. I then send a written scope with what is in, what is not, a fixed quote and a timeline.
- How long does it take to build a website?
- A business website usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. The exact time depends on the number of pages and how quickly content and feedback arrive.
- How long does it take to build a custom CRM or web app?
- A custom CRM or web app usually takes 4 to 12 weeks, delivered in weekly steps you can see and test.
- How will I see progress?
- You get a demo link you can open any time and an update every week: what is done, what is next and anything blocking.
- What do I need to provide?
- Your logo, text and photos for a website, or a walk through of how your team works today for a CRM or web app. If content is missing, I tell you early and can help prepare it.
- Do I own the code and design at the end?
- Yes. On handover you get the full code, designs, logins and documentation. There is no lock-in.
Services and technology
- What services do you offer?
- I build WordPress websites, WooCommerce stores, custom WordPress plugins and themes, custom web apps, CRMs, dashboards and API integrations, and I offer monthly website care plans.
- Which technologies do you work with?
- For web apps I mostly use Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js and PostgreSQL. For content sites I use PHP and WordPress, including WooCommerce, Elementor, Avada and the block editor.
- Do you build both the front end and the back end?
- Yes. I am a full stack developer, so I build the screens people use, the server and database behind them, and the deployment.
- Can you build a custom WordPress plugin?
- Yes. I have published free plugins on WordPress.org, including MenuNest and FieldPilot for ACF, and I build private plugins for client sites.
- Can you build a project management system for my team?
- Yes. I build project and time tracking systems with tasks, time logs, budgets, reports and client access. Projectly on this site is one I built for a creative studio.
- Can you connect my website to other tools?
- Yes. I connect websites and apps to payment gateways, CRMs, email tools, spreadsheets and other services through their APIs and webhooks.
Location and remote work
- Where is Harsh Prajapati based?
- I am based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, and I work with clients across India and around the world.
- Do you work with businesses outside Ahmedabad?
- Yes. I work with businesses across Gujarat, including Gandhinagar, Surat, Vadodara and Rajkot, in other Indian cities such as Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Delhi NCR, and abroad.
- Can we meet in person?
- Yes, if you are in or near Ahmedabad. Most projects run smoothly over calls, WhatsApp and demo links, so a meeting is optional.
- Which time zones do you work with?
- I work in Indian Standard Time and keep a few overlap hours for calls with the US, UK, Europe and Australia.
- How do we communicate during a project?
- Over WhatsApp, email and video calls, with a written update every week. You always talk directly to me.
After launch
- Do you offer support after the website is live?
- Yes. I fix any issue found after launch that falls within the agreed scope, and I offer monthly care plans for updates, backups, security and small changes.
- Can you take over a website someone else built?
- Yes. I review the site first, tell you what state it is in, and then maintain, fix or improve it.
- Can you fix a hacked or broken WordPress site?
- Yes. I clean hacked WordPress sites, fix plugin conflicts and broken updates, and take a backup before changing anything.
- Can my team update the website themselves?
- Yes. I set up clear editing screens and record a short walkthrough, so your team can change text, images and pages without a developer.
- Can you make my existing website faster?
- Yes. I find what is slowing the site down, fix the causes and show you the before and after numbers.
