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.
We build fast, accessible WordPress sites and web apps for US businesses.
BDWebGuy is a web development studio led by Shusanto Kumar Modak — 7+ years in the field, including two and a half years embedded with a web agency in Illinois. We write clean code, communicate in plain English, and we don't disappear after launch.
experience
Seven years of shipping, not just learning.
Agency, freelance and product work — the kind of track record you can check before you hire us.
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
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 priceA 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.
Monthly retainer
Most popularA block of hours every month for maintenance, improvements and the small changes that always come up.
- Updates, backups, security and monitoring handled
- Agreed hours for changes, rolling one month
- A monthly report in plain English, cancel any time
Best for live sites that have to stay fast, secure and current.
White-label partner
For agenciesDevelopment 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.
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.
Custom web applications beyond WordPress — Laravel and Node back ends, React, Next.js and Vue front ends, MySQL data models and REST APIs, taken from idea to production.
Accessibility auditing and hands-on remediation for US client sites — keyboard navigation, screen-reader semantics, contrast and forms brought to WCAG 2.1 AA, without overlay widgets.
Two and a half years as the development side of a US agency's care program: updates, security, performance, uptime, redesigns and a constant queue of client requests across 150+ live sites.
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.

A process built to avoid surprises.
Four steps, no mystery. You always know what is happening and what it costs.
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.
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.
Test & review
Cross-browser, mobile, keyboard and screen-reader checks before you see it. Then your round of feedback, with revisions included.
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.
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.
