You can hire WordPress and Shopify developers from Digital Web Mania, an Ahmedabad team working with clients since 2017. Choose a fixed-price project from our USD packages ($2,500 for a website, $3,500 for a store) or monthly developer time quoted to your scope. A lead reviews every change, and the code is yours once paid for.
Who should hire a WordPress developer or Shopify developer from us?
Agencies use us for overflow when their own developers are fully booked; for work under your brand, see our white label services. Store owners hire a Shopify developer from us for ongoing changes, and small businesses use us for WordPress care such as landing pages, speed fixes and updates.
We are not the right fit if you need an in-office developer or a full-time employee on your payroll.
What do our WordPress developers do?
We build lightweight custom themes on the block editor, with ACF where a fixed layout suits better. Existing Elementor sites that work well are maintained as they are. WooCommerce work includes dealer price lists, minimum order quantities and "request a quote" in place of checkout.
For speed, we aim for Google's Core Web Vitals thresholds: LCP under 2.5 seconds, INP under 200 ms and CLS under 0.1. Malware clean-up normally takes two to four working days, and maintenance covers updates tested on staging, off-site backups and small edits. See WordPress development.
What do our Shopify developers do?
Most of the work is Liquid theme customisation: editable sections and blocks, and changes to product and collection templates, built on a duplicate of your live theme. We keep paid apps to a minimum and often write a few lines of Liquid instead.
We migrate stores from WooCommerce, Magento and Wix with a 301 redirect for every old URL; customers receive an invitation to reactivate their accounts, as passwords cannot be transferred. For overseas stores we set up Shopify Payments, Stripe, PayPal, Afterpay or Klarna. See e-commerce development.
How much does it cost to hire a WordPress developer in India?
We charge a fixed project price or a monthly block of developer time, and we do not publish an hourly rate. Our guide on what it costs to outsource web development to India puts experienced developers at Indian agencies at roughly USD 25 to 50 an hour, based on quotes clients have shared and published 2026 guides.
Websites: Starter $2,500 (up to 6 pages, 3 to 4 weeks), Professional $5,500 (up to 15 pages) and Authority $9,500 (up to 30 pages). Stores: Launch $3,500 and Growth $7,500. Hosting, theme licences and apps are separate running costs listed in the quote. See our pricing page.
Fixed price or monthly developer time: which should you choose?
Choose a fixed price when the job can be written down, such as a new site, migration or speed project. Payment is staged: a deposit, a payment on design approval and the balance at go-live.
Monthly developer time suits ongoing work that cannot be listed in advance. You keep the same developer, often called a dedicated developer in India, and a lead reviews the work before it goes live.
How do you vet an Indian development team before hiring?
Review live work, set a small paid test and agree ownership in writing before larger work begins. Our portfolio shows live client sites you can test in PageSpeed Insights, and a paid test shows how we work. The code, theme and content are yours once paid for, and your domain, hosting and Shopify account stay in your name.
Working hours, overlap and communication
We work Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 7 PM IST. That overlaps the Australian afternoon and the UK morning, and we book early or late calls for US clients. You deal with one contact by Slack, email or WhatsApp, with a short written update each week and a staging link or screen recording for visual changes.
How do you keep my site and accounts secure?
We use access you create and can remove at any time: a separate WordPress admin user and hosting or SFTP access, or a Shopify staff or collaborator account. Please share passwords through a password manager. Changes are built on staging, backed up before release and launched on weekday mornings.
Freelancer marketplace vs agency team vs in-house hire
A marketplace freelancer suits small, clearly defined jobs, and an in-house hire makes sense once there is full-time work every week. An agency team sits between the two and suits ongoing work that needs reliable cover and review.
| Freelancer marketplace | Agency team (like us) | In-house hire | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How you pay | Hourly or per job, plus platform fees | Fixed price or monthly block of time | Salary plus benefits, equipment and hiring costs |
| Who reviews the work | You | A lead here, then you | You or your tech lead |
| Cover for leave or illness | None | Another developer takes over | Work waits |
| Skills available | One person's | WordPress, Shopify, design, SEO and ads | One person's, unless you hire more |
| Time to start | Fast, once you find the right person | Usually days after a signed scope | Weeks or months |
| If it goes wrong | Platform dispute | One contact, written scope, staged payments | Notice periods and rehiring |
| Best for | Small one-off fixes | Ongoing work or multi-skill builds | Full-time work every week |
How hiring a developer with us works
- Intro call. 30 to 45 minutes on what you need, your current setup and whether a fixed project or monthly time suits better.
- Written scope and quote. An itemised quote with the work, price and dates, or what a typical month covers.
- Paid test task. Optional, and recommended if you have not outsourced before.
- Access setup. You create our logins and a staging site or duplicate theme.
- Build and review. Work happens on staging, with weekly updates, until you approve.
- Go live. We take a backup, deploy on a weekday morning and check forms, checkout and tracking.
- Ongoing or handover. We continue with monthly time, or hand over everything and remove our access.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire a WordPress developer in India?+
We quote fixed prices or monthly blocks instead of an hourly rate. Websites start at $2,500 and stores at $3,500. Experienced developers at Indian agencies typically charge roughly USD 25 to 50 an hour, as our outsourcing cost guide explains.
Can I hire a Shopify developer in India for small changes?+
Yes. Send your changes as a list and we will quote them as one job, or move to a monthly block if they keep coming. Every change is built on a duplicate theme first.
Do I get a dedicated developer?+
On a monthly block you keep the same developer each month, so they learn your site. A lead reviews their work and the wider team covers leave.
Can I test your developers before committing?+
Yes. We suggest a small paid test task such as a broken template, one slow page or a new theme section.
Who owns the code?+
You do. Once paid for, the code, theme and content are yours, and your domain, hosting and Shopify account stay in your name from the start.
What hours do your developers work?+
Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 7 PM IST. That overlaps the Australian afternoon and the UK morning, and we book early or late calls for US clients.
Can you work with my existing site, or do you only build new ones?+
We work on existing sites regularly, including Elementor builds, Shopify stores on purchased themes and WooCommerce shops. We review what is there first and advise what is worth keeping.
Is it safe to give an offshore developer access to my site?+
Yes, if access is set up properly. Create separate logins, use a password manager and make sure changes go through staging first. We work this way by default, and you can remove our access at any time.
