You will be talking to Azhar Ali, the developer who will do the work. Not a sales team, not a form that goes nowhere. Replies within an hour during my working day.
Pick whichever is easiest. WhatsApp is usually fastest.
Two minutes. The more you tell me, the more useful my first reply will be.
I am one developer in Pakistan, working with clients in the UK, Europe and the United States. Two registered companies mean you can contract and invoice in whichever makes life easier for your accountant.
All development is done by me, here. Timezone UTC+5.

Registered in the State of New Mexico, United States. Used for contracts and invoicing with US and international clients.

Registered in Pakistan. Used for local contracts and invoicing.

Full registration details and a company invoice are available on request before you pay anything.
You do not need a finished brief. A paragraph about the problem is plenty.
Pages take too long, updates break things, or a plugin conflict took the site down. Speed work and rescues are some of the fastest, most measurable jobs I do.
WooCommerce or Shopify: checkout problems, payment or invoicing setup, a migration, or a build from scratch. I have shipped 20+ stores and I maintain a WooCommerce invoicing plugin.
You need WordPress to do something no plugin does properly. Custom plugin development is the work I know best, and it is reviewed against the same standards as my wordpress.org releases.
A previous developer left, nothing is documented, and nobody knows how it works. I will audit it and tell you plainly whether it is worth fixing or rebuilding.
Within an hour during my working window, and always within 24 hours. If I am not the right person for the job, that is what the reply says, and I will point you somewhere better.
Twenty to thirty minutes on WhatsApp, Zoom or Google Meet to go through the detail. No charge, no pitch deck, no obligation.
What is included, what is not, roughly how long, and a fixed price or a clear rate. You decide from there. Nothing starts until you say so in writing.
Me, Azhar Ali. SoftGlaze is a small studio and I do the development myself. If a project needs a designer or a second developer, I bring in specialists I have worked with for years and I tell you who they are first.
Within an hour during my working window, which is 6 PM to 10 AM UTC+5. If you write during my night off you will have a reply by the time your working day starts. Support requests on live projects: within 24 hours.
It depends on scope, and I would rather quote you properly than publish a fake starting price. Tell me the budget range in the form and I will tell you straight away whether what you want fits it. If it does not, I will say what would.
Yes, most of my work is for clients in the UK and Europe. My hours deliberately overlap the European working day and the US morning, and SoftGlaze has registered companies in the United States and Pakistan so contracting and invoicing are straightforward.
Yes, and please do. Two of my plugins are published on wordpress.org with full source code, my WordPress core contributions are public on Trac under the username softglaze, and my repositories are on GitHub. Read the code before you write to me.
They are stored on this site and emailed to me, and used only to answer your enquiry. Nothing is sold, shared or added to a marketing list. Ask me to delete them and I will.
Published plugins, public core contributions and open source code. Very few developers will hand you that much to inspect before you spend anything.
