I'm Raja Sheryar Shahid, a web developer and Figma designer with more than ten years of building websites. I've completed 926 jobs on Upwork, earned Top Rated Plus, and keep a 97% Job Success Score.

Most of my work is turning designs into fast, pixel-perfect websites on WordPress, Webflow, Framer and Shopify. When a project needs more, I build custom WordPress plugins, Webflow member areas with Memberstack, Outseta and Stripe, Framer components, and the automations that connect a website to the rest of a business.

I also handle the layer most designers skip: servers and hosting. I set up and tune AWS servers with Nginx, PHP-FPM and MariaDB, move sites between hosts like WP Engine, Kinsta and Cloudways with zero downtime, and add AI chatbots built on the OpenAI and Claude APIs.

I also lead a small web team that works with SaaS startups, agencies, healthcare and behavioral health centers, and e-commerce brands in the US, UK, Canada and Australia.

What clients get from me: a written scope before we start, a staging site to review, honest timelines, and a site their team can edit after launch.
