Performance
Core Web Vitals work: image pipeline, caching layer, database queries cleaned up, and the plugins you don't need taken out.

Monthly retainer
Maintenance
Updates, backups, uptime checks and security patches handled on a schedule, so nothing breaks quietly between launches.

UI/UX enhancement
Redlines implemented to the pixel across every breakpoint, with motion added only where it helps someone get through the page.

About Since 2015
Nikita Modhavadiya
11Years in
Eleven years, one specialism, done properly.
I started on PHP in 2015 and never drifted. That means when a site is slow, a checkout is dropping orders, or a theme update has broken a layout, I've usually seen the shape of it before.
Alongside development I help clients keep the rest moving — scheduling social posts, running ad campaigns, and directing product photo and video shoots. Now based in Slovakia and finishing an MBA, so the technical answer usually comes with the business one attached.

Notes from the build.
Performance
Why your WordPress site got slower after the redesign
The new design looks better and loads worse — and it's almost never the design's fault. The five things that usually change during a rebuild.
Development
Elementor or a custom theme? The honest answer
Neither is the right default. The actual decision tree — who edits the site, how many templates you need, and what you'll pay for later.
E-commerce
WooCommerce checkout: the fields that cost you orders
Every extra field is a chance to leave. Which ones WooCommerce shows by default that most stores don't need — and how to remove them safely.

What it's like to work together.
Nikita turned our outdated site into a fast, modern platform. Her Divi and Elementor work is outstanding, and every request came back handled properly. One of the best developers we've worked with.
Exceptional work. She built a custom WordPress solution for our business and tuned it for speed and search. Clear communication, delivered on time, pixel-perfect.
We've hired Nikita for several WordPress and WooCommerce projects. Her coding standard is world-class, and she also kept our social posts on schedule and wrote marketing emails that lifted our response rate.
She handled our full redesign in Elementor plus custom theme work, then coordinated our product shoot — models, styling, props, venue. A full-support professional who goes past the brief.
