Web developer in Delhi

Most sites I am asked to look at in Delhi are not badly built. They are badly prioritised — enormous effort on the parts nobody reads and none on the parts that decide whether someone gets in touch. The fix is rarely more work; it is the same work pointed somewhere else.

One thing worth knowing about building for India

UPI changes the entire checkout design. An Indian store built around card fields first and UPI as an afterthought converts far worse than one built the other way round, and that is a layout decision, not a plugin.

Accessibility on a Delhi build, and why it is not optional

Keyboard navigation, real contrast ratios, form labels that are actually associated with their inputs, and alt text that describes rather than repeats. None of it is expensive when built in from the start and all of it is expensive to retrofit, which is the entire argument for doing it in the first pass.

The commercial case is simpler than the legal one: a site that a screen reader can navigate is a site that a search engine can parse, because both are reading the same semantic structure. Accessibility work and technical SEO overlap far more than either discipline usually admits, and in Delhi the same build serves both.

Retail and e-commerce in Delhi

A store is judged at the checkout, not the homepage. For India that means the payment methods have to match what people actually use — Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree, and UPI — which now carries the majority of domestic transaction volume — and the cart has to survive a slow connection and a page refresh. Most abandoned baskets are not indecision; they are a checkout that broke and gave no reason why.

The second issue is stock truth. A product page saying "in stock" when it is not costs you the sale and the customer, and the fix is unglamorous plumbing between wherever your stock actually lives and the storefront. That is worth a day of work far more than the product photography carousel is.

The contact form that silently fails

The most expensive bug on a small business website makes no noise at all. A form posts, shows a thank-you message, and the email never arrives — usually because the host's mail function is unauthenticated and the receiving server drops it without a bounce. The business concludes demand fell.

The fix is authenticated SMTP with SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured on the sending domain, plus a database write so a submission survives even when delivery fails. If you are unsure whether your Delhi site has this problem, submit your own form from a phone on mobile data and see what actually arrives.

Hiring a developer who is not in Delhi

Currency is worth being blunt about. Quoting a Indian client in INR and then invoicing something else at a rate that moved is a way of raising the price quietly, and it is common enough that you should ask any overseas supplier about it directly. The number agreed at scoping is the number invoiced, and exchange-rate movement is my problem rather than yours.

What I am not claiming about Delhi

A location page is the easiest place on a website to imply something untrue, so here is the other side of it plainly:

• I have no office, postal address or phone number in Delhi
• I cannot meet you in person, and if that is a requirement you should hire locally
• I am not claiming existing clients in Delhi specifically — my live work is listed on the work page and you can check it
• Nothing on this page is a guarantee of search rankings, which no developer can honestly offer

Delhi web development — common questions

What hours will you be available to us in Delhi?

My working day lands at 09:30–18:30 in your time, which is roughly 8.5 hours inside a normal Delhi working day. In practice you can raise something in the morning and have it answered the same morning, and a scheduled call is easy to place at a civilised hour for both of us.

How long does a Delhi project actually take?

Three days for a business site, seven for a store, ten for a custom application. That holds because the process is fixed rather than improvised and because your content exists on day one. What stretches a build is almost never the code — it is waiting for copy, logos and photographs, so those are requested before the clock starts.

Do you provide ongoing maintenance after launch?

Thirty days of snag fixes are included after launch at no extra cost — anything that does not work as specified gets fixed. Beyond that there are monthly plans for updates, backups, monitoring and small changes. They are optional and cancellable; a site handed over properly does not require a retainer to keep running.

Can you fix my existing site rather than rebuild it?

Often, yes, and it is usually the cheaper answer. Speed problems, a broken mobile layout, a form that silently fails or missing structured data are all fixable on the site you already have. I will tell you which of the two you need after looking, and a rebuild only gets recommended when the fix would cost more than starting again.

Who owns the website when it is finished?

You do, completely. The domain is registered in your name, hosting sits in your account, the code lives in a repository you control, and any payment provider account is opened in your business name. Credentials are handed to you as they are created rather than at the end, so you are never locked out of your own site.

What currency will I be invoiced in?

INR. Quotes, milestones and the final invoice are all written in INR so you are never comparing a converted figure against a local supplier's. Regarding tax: GST at 18% on your sales; my invoices are imported services under reverse charge.

What payment methods can my Delhi checkout accept?

For India: Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree, and UPI — which now carries the majority of domestic transaction volume. The right combination depends on your average basket and your customers, and picking wrong is expensive — the payment method a buyer expects but cannot find is one of the most common reasons a checkout is abandoned at the final step.

Where this page sits

This page covers Delhi. Every other town in India is listed on the India coverage page, and the full worldwide list is at all locations.

Before you enquire: pricing is published rather than quoted on request, how I work covers the process end to end, the work page lists live client sites you can open, and vendor information answers the procurement questions.
