WordPress Expert in Bangalore — 20 Years of Hands-On Experience
Bangalore-based WordPress expert offering maintenance, development, SEO, and technical consulting. Local expertise, global standards.
Dharmendra Asimi
SEO Expert & WordPress Professional since 2005 · Founder, Aapta Solutions
Bangalore runs on software, and a huge slice of that software is still WordPress — marketing sites for SaaS startups in Koramangala, ecommerce stores out of Indiranagar, content hubs for funded consumer brands in HSR, agency client work across Whitefield. If your site lives on WordPress and you're in Bangalore, you have a specific need: someone who understands the local market, runs on IST, and can show up in person when it matters.
I've been working with WordPress since 2005 and with Bangalore-based clients for most of that time. The local advantage is real — same time zone, same business hours, same shared context about how things actually work here. The global standard is non-negotiable — the work has to hold up against anything you'd get from a US or UK agency at five times the price.
Below is a clear picture of what I do for Bangalore clients, who I work best with, what it costs, and how we can work together.
WordPress Services Available in Bangalore
Most Bangalore engagements fall into one of these buckets. Many clients combine a few:
- WordPress maintenance plans — monthly retainers covering core updates, plugin updates, theme updates, security monitoring, malware scans, off-site backups, uptime monitoring, and small content changes. Pricing starts at Rs.9,999/month.
- Custom WordPress development — custom themes, custom plugins, custom blocks, REST API work, WooCommerce extensions, integrations with internal tools, CRMs, and payment gateways.
- SEO and Core Web Vitals fixes — technical SEO audits, on-page optimisation, schema markup, internal linking architecture, and performance work to fix LCP, INP, and CLS failures.
- Site rebuilds and migrations — moving from Wix, Shopify, Squarespace, Webflow, or older WordPress builds to a modern, fast, maintainable WordPress stack.
- Hack recovery and security hardening — cleaning compromised sites, removing Google blacklist warnings, hardening wp-config and the .htaccess layer.
- Technical consulting — for internal teams, in-house developers, and agencies that need senior WordPress input on architecture decisions.
Why Hire a Local Bangalore WordPress Expert
You can hire WordPress help from anywhere in the world. The reason to hire someone in Bangalore is specific:
- Same time zone, same working hours. When something breaks on a Tuesday morning, the response is in hours, not the next day. No "I'll get to this in my morning which is your evening" frustration.
- In-person meetings when needed. For workshops, leadership briefings, founder-level kickoffs, or quarterly reviews, being able to meet in person matters.
- Shared business context. GST, Razorpay, UPI, Indian payment flows, the regulatory quirks of Indian ecommerce, the way Indian customers actually behave on checkout pages — all of this is built-in knowledge, not research time you're paying for.
- Cost efficiency without offshore friction. You get senior expertise at Indian pricing without having to manage someone five hours away.
- Faster legal and contracting. Indian contracts, Indian invoicing, Indian TDS — no friction, no surprise tax forms, no payment gateway issues.
WordPress Pricing in Bangalore (2026)
Bangalore pricing follows the broader Indian market with a slight premium because of the local talent concentration. Here's what's reasonable in 2026:
- Maintenance retainers: Rs.9,999 - Rs.49,999/month depending on traffic, complexity, and how much development time is included.
- Hourly development: Rs.1,000 - Rs.1,500/hour for senior work. Junior rates of Rs.400 - Rs.700 exist but are rarely worth the supervision time.
- Marketing site builds: Rs.75,000 - Rs.2,50,000 for a 5-15 page site with custom design, SEO foundations, CMS training, and launch support.
- WooCommerce builds: Rs.2,00,000 - Rs.6,00,000 for full ecommerce with payment gateway integration, shipping logic, custom checkout, and CRM sync.
- SEO audits: Rs.25,000 - Rs.75,000 as a one-time deep dive with a prioritised fix plan.
All quotes are itemised and GST-inclusive where applicable. No surprise line items.
Industries I've Worked With in Bangalore
Two decades in WordPress means working across most of the sectors Bangalore is known for. Recurring industry patterns include:
- SaaS and B2B startups — marketing sites, blog architecture, lead capture, HubSpot and Salesforce integrations, programmatic SEO setups.
- Ecommerce and D2C brands — WooCommerce builds, headless setups, performance optimisation for catalogue-heavy stores, integrations with Shiprocket, Razorpay, and inventory tools.
- Marketing and creative agencies — white-label development, performance and SEO support for client retainers, technical consulting on pitches.
- Education and edtech — LMS builds with LearnDash and Tutor LMS, membership sites, content gating, certificate generation, payment flows.
- Professional services — law firms, consultancies, healthcare practices needing trustworthy, fast, accessible sites.
- Media and publishing — content-heavy sites needing editorial workflows, schema, AMP, and ad-stack optimisation.
How We Work Together
Engagement style is built around your preference and the project type:
- In-person kickoffs in Bangalore — for founders and leadership teams, an initial in-person workshop to align on goals, scope, and constraints. Usually a half-day in your office or a coffee meeting somewhere central.
- Video calls for ongoing work — Google Meet or Zoom, scheduled only when there's a real decision. No weekly status meetings for the sake of it.
- Async by default — written updates over email, Slack, or WhatsApp Business. Most communication happens in writing so we both have a record.
- Time zone advantage — IST gives you a full working-day overlap with European and Middle Eastern teams if your business spans them, plus the option of evening overlap with US Eastern.
- Clear contracts and milestones — itemised scope, fixed milestones, GST-compliant invoicing, NDAs signed before sensitive details are shared.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work only with Bangalore clients?
No. I'm Bangalore-based and Bangalore clients get the in-person option, but most of my work is remote with clients across India and globally. The location is an advantage when you want it, never a constraint.
Can we meet in person before signing?
Yes. For meaningful engagements I'm happy to meet in person in Bangalore — your office, mine, or a neutral location. The free 15-minute discovery call usually happens over video, then the kickoff in person if it makes sense.
How quickly can you start a Bangalore project?
Maintenance retainers usually start within a week of the agreement. Development projects depend on scope — most kick off within 2-3 weeks. If something is urgent (a hacked site, a broken checkout), same-week starts are possible.
What does a WordPress maintenance plan include?
Core, plugin, and theme updates; daily off-site backups; security monitoring and malware scans; uptime monitoring; small content changes; monthly health reports. Higher tiers add development hours, performance tuning, and priority response.
Do you handle hosting setup in India?
Yes. I work with Hostinger, SiteGround, Cloudways, and AWS-based stacks regularly. I'll recommend hosting based on your traffic and budget, set it up, migrate the site, and configure everything from SSL to CDN.
Is GST included in your pricing?
GST is shown separately on invoices and applies as per current Indian tax rules. For business clients with GSTIN, full input credit is available.
Do you work with Bangalore agencies on a white-label basis?
Yes. Several Bangalore agencies use me as their senior WordPress resource — I deliver the work, they own the client relationship. Standard NDA and white-label terms.
Can you help with a project that's already in progress?
Yes, though the first step is always an audit so I'm not inheriting blind spots. Once we know the state of the codebase, I can take over development, maintenance, or both with a clear handover plan.
