What we do

One studio, the whole stack.

Clients come to us with a site that needs building, a site that needs rescuing, or an idea that needs to become software. We handle all three.

WordPress Development

Custom themes and builds that load fast and stay maintainable — no 40-plugin stacks, no mystery code.

  • Custom theme & block development
  • Bricks, Oxygen, Breakdance, Elementor
  • Migrations and redesigns

Custom Plugins & Features

When no plugin does quite what you need — or the one that does carries 2MB of things you don't.

  • Custom post types & admin tools
  • REST and third-party API integrations
  • Booking, directory and calculator features

Web Apps & SaaS

Applications with real logic behind them — accounts, dashboards, billing, integrations, data.

  • Laravel & Node.js back ends
  • React, Next.js and Vue front ends
  • Client portals and internal tools

ADA & WCAG Compliance

Source-level accessibility work, not an overlay widget. Audits, remediation and a written conformance summary.

  • WCAG 2.1 AA audits & fixes
  • Keyboard and screen-reader testing
  • Accessibility statement for your site

Speed & Core Web Vitals

Diagnosing why a site is slow and fixing the cause, rather than installing one more caching plugin on top.

  • LCP, CLS and INP remediation
  • Asset, image and database cleanup
  • Hosting and caching configuration

White-Label for Agencies

We slot into your team, your tools and your process. Your client never has to know our name.

  • Monthly retainers or per-project
  • Slack, Basecamp, ClickUp, Teamwork
  • Overflow work and care-plan backup
How we work together

Three ways to bring the studio in.

Most clients start with a project and stay on a retainer once it is live. Agencies usually skip straight to white-label.

Project build

Fixed price

A defined scope with a start, a finish and a number agreed before anyone writes a line of code.

  • Written scope and a fixed quote after the first call
  • Staging site you can watch from day one
  • Thirty days of free fixes after launch

Best for new sites, rebuilds, migrations and one-off features.

White-label partner

For agencies

Development capacity inside your process, under your brand, invisible to your client.

  • We work in your project tool, to your ticket standards
  • Updates written so you can forward them unedited
  • Non-solicitation terms signed as standard

Best for agencies needing overflow capacity or a dev department.

Selected work

Case studies, not a wall of thumbnails.

What we actually built, the decisions behind it, and what it was worth to the business on the other end.

A SaaS product I designed, built and shipped solo: a WordPress builder that turns a prompt into real, editable pages, templates and headers — clean HTML and CSS instead of page-builder markup. Live, with paying customers.

Why clients stay

The hard part isn't the code.

Plenty of developers can build what you asked for. Far fewer tell you when what you asked for is the wrong thing, give you a straight answer on timing, and are still around in six months.

  • You talk to the people writing the code. No account manager relaying a half-understood brief.
  • Real overlap with US hours. We keep our day on EST/CST so you are not waiting 14 hours for an answer.
  • Written updates you can forward. Agency owners can paste our updates straight to their client.
  • Honest scoping. If a job is 20 hours and not 5, you hear it before we start, not after.
  • We inherit other people's code. Most of our work starts in a codebase we didn't write.

How it works

A process built to avoid surprises.

Four steps, no mystery. You always know what is happening and what it costs.

STEP 01

Call & scope

A 30-minute call to understand the goal, the constraints and the deadline. You leave it with a written scope and a fixed price or an honest hour estimate.

STEP 02

Build in the open

Work happens on a staging site you can watch. Short written updates at agreed checkpoints, so nothing lands as a surprise at the end.

STEP 03

Test & review

Cross-browser, mobile, keyboard and screen-reader checks before you see it. Then your round of feedback, with revisions included.

STEP 04

Launch & support

Deployment handled, backups verified, a handover document written. Then 30 days of free post-launch fixes — and a care plan if you want one.

From the blog

Plain-English writing for people who hire developers.

No tutorials, no framework holy wars. Just the things US business owners and agency owners keep asking us.

Questions

The things clients ask before hiring us.

Who actually does the work?
BDWebGuy is a small studio by design. Shusanto Kumar Modak leads every engagement and writes the code on most of them, and we bring in specialists we have worked with for years — design, QA, accessibility testing — when a job genuinely needs them. You are told who is on your project, your point of contact does not change mid-build, and nothing is quietly handed to a cheaper subcontractor.
How does working across time zones actually go?
We deliberately run our day to overlap US business hours — several hours of live overlap with Eastern and Central time, every working day. In practice that means you send a message in the morning and have an answer the same morning, not the next one. For calls we work around your calendar, including early US mornings.
What does a project cost?
It depends entirely on scope, and we would rather give you a real number than a brochure range. Small, well-defined jobs are quoted fixed-price. Ongoing or exploratory work is hourly. Agency retainers are a monthly block of hours. After one call we can tell you which bucket you are in and roughly what to budget — for free, with no obligation.
Do you work white-label for agencies?
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. We spent two and a half years as the development side of a US agency, so we understand how agency work runs: your project management tool, your branding, your client relationship. We never contact your clients and we never put your projects in a public portfolio without asking.
Can you take over a site someone else built?
That is most of our work. We spent years maintaining a portfolio of 150+ WordPress sites that other people built, in every state of repair. We will audit what is there, tell you honestly whether it is worth fixing or replacing, and then improve it incrementally rather than insisting on a rebuild you do not need.
What happens after launch?
Every build includes 30 days of free fixes for anything that is not working as specified. After that you can either take the site and run it yourself — we hand over a written document explaining how everything works — or put it on a monthly care plan where we handle updates, backups, security and small changes.
How do we get started?
Send us a message through the contact page with a sentence or two about what you need. We reply within one business day, usually with a couple of questions. If it looks like a fit, we get on a 30-minute call and follow up with a written scope and price.

Let's talk about what you're building.

Free 30-minute call, an honest opinion on scope, and a written quote. No sales pitch — we will tell you if we are not the right fit.
