Junaid M.

Web Developer | WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Next.js | AI SEO & GEO

Top Rated Plus | 100% Job Success | 3,400+ hours on Upwork. I build websites on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow and Next.js from your Figma file, brief, or prototype, and set them up for Google and AI search (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Overviews). 130+ live sites across 30 industries, see the portfolio below. I write and own the code. I build custom WordPress themes in PHP and write custom plugins when no existing plugin does the job (availability checkers, fare calculators, quote flows). I also do Shopify themes, Webflow and Framer builds, and React and Next.js front ends. You get one developer from first call to handoff, and a recorded walkthrough so your team can edit the site after. AI TOOLS, WHEN YOUR PROJECT CALLS FOR THEM Many clients now ask for AI in the workflow or in the product. If yours does, this is what I use, and I tell you where: ✔ Claude Code, Cursor and GitHub Copilot for code review, refactoring and faster delivery. I review and test everything before it ships. ✔ OpenAI and Claude APIs for chatbots that answer from your own pages and FAQs ✔ n8n, Make and Zapier for lead routing, follow-ups and reporting automations ✔ Built a prototype in Lovable, Bolt or v0? I turn it into a production site: clean code, security, SEO, hosting. You decide how much of this goes into your project. The build quality is the same either way. WHAT I BUILD ✔ WordPress: custom themes coded from scratch (PHP), Elementor Pro, WooCommerce stores, custom plugins ✔ Shopify: store setup, theme customization, collections, apps, Shopify SEO ✔ Webflow and Framer: Figma to live site with a CMS your team can edit ✔ Next.js and React: fast custom front ends, headless WordPress or Shopify behind them ✔ Booking and quote systems: availability checkers, multi-step booking forms, live price estimates, RSVP flows ✔ Redesigns and migrations: URLs kept, 301 map, GA4 and Search Console carried over ✔ Speed, security, malware cleanup: Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP), hardening, backups SEO + AI SEARCH ON EVERY BUILD (AEO, GEO: answer engine and generative engine optimization) Your buyers ask ChatGPT and Gemini before they scroll Google. Every site I ship is set up for both: ✔ Technical SEO: speed, indexing, clean structure, sitemaps, Search Console ✔ Schema markup (JSON-LD): LocalBusiness, Service, Product, FAQ, Review, Lodging, the type your business needs ✔ llms.txt and correct AI crawler access (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended) ✔ Local SEO: Google Business Profile, citations, service-area pages ✔ AI visibility tracking: which prompts in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and AI Overviews mention you. Reported honestly. Nobody controls rankings or AI answers, so I never promise positions. RECENT LIVE WORK (all in my portfolio below) ✔ Luxury villa rental: custom availability checker and reviews plugin, Lodging and Review schema, llms.txt (WordPress) ✔ Executive car service: multi-step ride booking form with live fare estimate (WordPress) ✔ Fence contractor: 8 service pages, 437+ community pages, FenceContractor schema, estimate flow (Next.js) ✔ Architectural fencing brand: product series, wind/salt/fire ratings pages, forms wired to Pipedrive (Webflow) ✔ Fintech virtual card platform: Nuxt/Vue front end in English, Chinese and Russian, WordPress blog behind it ✔ Wholesale knife supplier: WooCommerce catalog, quote requests, FAQ schema, multilingual ✔ Men's rings store: Shopify, customized theme, 50+ collections by metal and style, reviews and email capture ✔ Oral surgery practice: headless WordPress CMS with a Next.js front end, Dentist and Review schema ✔ Personal injury law firm: Bricks Builder, 14 practice-area pages, FAQ and LocalBusiness schema ✔ AI summarizer SaaS: Laravel + Vue, 15 tools, Google sign-in, 16 languages, built from scratch ✔ Remodeling contractor and virtual card sites: designed, built and written from scratch (WordPress) ✔ Interactive wedding invitation site in React WHAT CLIENTS SAY "Great service and executed work immediately."
