Typical projects
Full Website Builds, Performance Optimizations, Plugin Development
Custom plugin development is most of what I do. Plugins that connect WordPress to outside systems through their APIs (CRMs, booking tools, membership databases, payment providers) with proper auth, webhooks and background sync via Action Scheduler. Custom WooCommerce functionality: pricing rules, product options, checkout steps, vendor payouts, gateways built on WC_Payment_Gateway, HPOS compatible. Admin tools: import and export, reports, custom post types and custom tables, WP-CLI commands. Taking over plugins someone else wrote and fixing slow queries and memory leaks. Every plugin follows WordPress coding standards (PHPCS), with nonces and capability checks, prepared SQL, escaped output, and nothing in core or parent theme files. Code lives in Git and you get the repo plus a short maintenance guide. Full website builds are the second thing I do. Bring a Figma, PSD or PDF design or a clear idea of what the site must do. I build the theme, custom blocks or ACF field groups, custom post types, forms, WooCommerce, memberships or courses, and the plugins that tie it together. Builds so far include a 20,000 product store fed by supplier APIs, LearnDash academies, multi-vendor marketplaces, job portals, and rebuilds onto Kadence or Elementor without losing what already worked. How I work: I look at your site (theme, plugins, error logs, Query Monitor) before asking anything, confirm the scope in writing, work on staging, and send plain English updates every working day. If I say Tuesday, it is done by Tuesday. Proof: I run MagniGeeks, a small team in India. Our own plugins include WP Responsive Menu (30,000+ active installs), RestroPress (restaurant ordering with Flutter apps) and MagniPOS (WooCommerce POS with native apps). Need a companion app? We handle the app, the API and WordPress as one job. Stack: PHP 8, MySQL, JavaScript, React, Next.js, Laravel, Flutter, React Native, Composer, PHPUnit, WP-CLI, Git, Redis, Cloudflare. Based in India (IST).

I am extremely happy with the work Nirmal has completed for us. He has been thoroughly professional throughout, with excellent communication skills and a genuine ability to understand the requirements and challenges of a business owner who does not necessarily have a technical or IT background. What particularly impressed me was his ability to understand our problems, explain things clearly and provide practical solutions without making matters unnecessarily complicated. Nirmal has been very supportive, patient and professional throughout the project. I would be more than happy to work with him again and would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable and professional IT specialist. Thank you, Nirmal, for your excellent work and continued support!

Nirmal exceeded all my expectations, both in technical expertise and in being such a wonderful person to collaborate with. His excellent responsiveness and daily updates kept the project on track and beat the already fast estimate to complete the work. I recommend him without reservation to anyone looking for a WordPress developer.

Nirmal was fantastic to work with. He was professional from the very first message, responded quickly at every stage, and took the time to really understand my situation before recommending anything. When he found an issue with a theme purchase after the fact, he was upfront about it immediately and worked with me to find the best solution rather than just pushing ahead. He explained technical decisions in plain language, never made me feel rushed or talked down to, and was genuinely understanding of my priorities and budget. Highly recommend.

Excellent consultation and work! Nirmal made sure to complete everything required to re-activate my dormant blog and, even better, help me understand how to operate to keep things up to date on my own. I will hire him again, for sure.

Lights Up Today: Website redesign & development
A full WordPress and Elementor Pro rebuild for a lighting installer, with a 16-month search baseline and every old URL redirected so rankings followed the move.
Product: RestroPress online ordering and its app suite
Our own online food ordering plugin for WordPress, used by restaurants around the world, with customer, kitchen display, driver and desktop order manager apps built in Flutter. Proof of what we build end to end: the plugin, the payment flow, the REST API and the native apps. If your site needs a companion app, this is what it looks like when we do it for ourselves.
Plugin: single sign-on against a member database API
An association wanted members to log in to WordPress with their membership system credentials and roles that update automatically. The plugin hooks the authenticate filter, verifies credentials through the Impexium REST API, creates or updates the WordPress user on each login, assigns Member or Non Member roles from the membership array, and keeps the SSO token for the session.
PWA: QR check-in app for The Events Calendar
A client running their events on The Events Calendar needed a faster way to check people in. We built a PWA that installs from the browser: attendees check in from their phone, and the admin scans their QR code to confirm. It reads events and attendees straight from WordPress, so the calendar stays the single source of truth.
Product: MagniConnect, school to parent app
An App that brings a school's attendance, homework, notices and class moments into one place for parents, with the whole picture for principals. Live on Google Play and the App Store and free for parents. A school is connected in about two days from sign-off, and teachers need around 30 minutes of training. Built and supported by our team.
Plugin: customer portal connected to a field service API
A smoke alarm service company wanted customers to log in and see their appointments, which live in AroFlo, not WordPress. The plugin maps each user to their AroFlo client ID, signs the HMAC-authenticated requests, caches responses in transients, and renders a dashboard with status and ETA links. Lookups are tied to the current user so nobody sees another customer's jobs.
Plugin: Stripe Connect payouts for a marketplace
A WooCommerce marketplace needed automatic payouts to vendors and affiliates through Stripe Connect Express, keeping the platform fee, and an end to duplicate payouts. We built front-end Connect onboarding, transfer logic on order completion that splits each payment, webhook handling, an idempotency key on every transfer (the duplicate payout cause) and a payout log.
Build: concrete contractor site with 14 service pages
A third-generation concrete contractor serving the Parker Strip since 1985 needed a site that gets the phone ringing. We built it on WordPress with a page for each of their 14 services, a click-to-call number on every screen, local customer reviews, an FAQ section, and Yoast SEO set up for local search.
Product: MagniKart, daily needs delivery store
Daily needs delivery store, built on WordPress: category browsing, search across the whole catalogue, delivery by locality, and a rewards program where customers earn a point for every ₹5 and get ₹10 off for 100 points.
Build: Divi site for a synchronized clock manufacturer
A manufacturer of synchronized clock, bell, PA and emergency notification systems needed a site that explains a technical product range to schools, hospitals and factories. We built it on Divi with product line pages, a page for each market, a live clock and bell schedule widget in the hero, and a quote request on every page.
