East Coast to West Coast

WordPress & Shopify developer for US businesses

I build WordPress websites and Shopify and WooCommerce stores for US businesses and agencies, working remotely from India. The time difference means work moves forward overnight while you sleep, you are invoiced in USD, and every account stays in your name.

Why it matters

Why USA businesses hire me

Progress while you sleep

India is 9.5 to 10.5 hours ahead of US Eastern time and 12.5 to 13.5 hours ahead of Pacific. Send feedback at the end of your day and the changes are usually ready the next morning.

Sales tax set up correctly

Shopify Tax, or a WooCommerce sales tax app such as TaxJar or Avalara, configured for the states where you collect tax.

Accessibility built in

ADA claims usually cite WCAG. I build with proper headings, labels, contrast, alt text and keyboard navigation, and test key pages before launch.

Payments US buyers expect

Stripe or Shopify Payments for cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, plus PayPal if you want it, with US address formats and shipping rates at checkout.

Hiring an offshore WordPress or Shopify developer for a US business

Working with a developer in India can work very well for US businesses and agencies, as long as the scope is written down, the accounts stay in your name and communication has a clear rhythm. Here is how I set that up.

A working day that runs overnight

India is 9.5 hours ahead of New York in summer (10.5 in winter) and 12.5 hours ahead of Los Angeles (13.5 in winter). The useful pattern is simple: you send feedback before you finish your day, I work on it during mine, and you wake up to the changes on the staging link. When a live call helps, we book it in your early morning.

US store setup checklist

  • Sales tax: Shopify Tax, or TaxJar or Avalara on WooCommerce, for the states where you are registered.
  • Payments: Stripe or Shopify Payments with Apple Pay, Google Pay and Shop Pay, plus PayPal if you want it.
  • Shipping: USPS, UPS and FedEx rates through a shipping app, free-shipping thresholds and US address validation.
  • Accessibility: WCAG 2.1 AA checks on templates, forms and checkout: headings, labels, contrast, alt text and keyboard navigation.

Agencies and white-label work

Many US agencies use offshore developers for builds and maintenance. I build from your designs, follow your coding and handover standards, and stay in the background. See Shopify development or hire a WordPress developer for the details of each service.

Proof of work

My case studies include Third Eye Social, an AI automation agency, Streak Creative, a growth marketing agency, and Southern Flavours, a restaurant in the UK. Each one is a live site you can open and test.

How it works

How a remote USA project runs

01

Free review

Send your current site, store or a short brief by email or WhatsApp. I review it and reply with a recommendation, usually by the start of your next business day.

02

Written scope and fixed quote

You get a scope listing every page and feature, a fixed price and a timeline before any work starts.

03

Build on staging

The site is built on a private staging link. You review it in your own time and leave feedback; changes are usually waiting for you the next working day.

04

Launch and handover

After your approval it goes live at a quiet time for your USA customers, with logins in your name and a recorded walkthrough for your team.

FAQ

Common questions

How do calls work with the time difference?

Calls are usually scheduled in your early morning on the East Coast, around 7am to 10am ET, which is my evening in India. West Coast clients mostly work by email, Loom videos and WhatsApp, with an occasional early call. Day to day, the time gap means feedback you send in the afternoon is often done by the next morning.

Can you make my site ADA compliant?

I build and fix sites to follow WCAG 2.1 AA, the standard US accessibility claims usually refer to: headings, form labels, colour contrast, alt text, focus states and keyboard use. I can test and fix an existing site too. No developer can guarantee you will never receive a claim, but a site built this way is far easier to defend and to use.

Do you handle US sales tax on Shopify or WooCommerce?

Yes. On Shopify I set up Shopify Tax for the states where you are registered. On WooCommerce I connect a sales tax service such as TaxJar or Avalara. Which states you must collect in is a question for your accountant; the store then follows those settings.

How do I pay a developer in India from the USA?

You are invoiced in USD and can pay by international bank transfer or a common online payment method agreed at the start. Every invoice is itemised against the written scope, and larger projects are split into milestones.

Will I own the website, domain and store?

Yes. The domain, hosting, Shopify store, payment accounts and apps are registered in your business name and you pay those providers directly. I work inside your accounts as a collaborator or staff user, so you can remove my access at any time.

How much will my website cost?

It depends on the number of pages, features and whether you need a store. Send a short note through the contact page or WhatsApp with what you need, and you get a written scope and fixed quote, usually within 24 hours.
