WordPress Developer — Sami Ullah

What does Sami Ullah do with WordPress?

WordPress was a large part of my early career. I held front-end and WordPress developer roles at Brain Load Technologies, Tuscan Group Ltd (remote, London) and Techtonex.

My usual approach is a custom theme built from the design, with Advanced Custom Fields so editors can change content without touching code. When a client already uses Elementor, I work inside it rather than rebuilding everything.

Glendon Place — Custom WordPress Theme

Glendon Place is a US cross-stitch design company that sells charts, thread packs and embellishment packs to stitchers and needlework shops. I developed a custom WordPress theme for its online store, rebuilding a large catalogue site with a cleaner layout. The current live site still runs the older platform.

ReviewLens — Review and Returns Analysis for Stores

ReviewLens (working name) is a SaaS I built for online stores. It reads a store's customer reviews, returns and competitors and turns them into a short report: what customers complain about, which products cause the most problems and what to fix first. All numbers are computed in code, and AI only classifies text and explains the results.

Frequently asked questions

Can Sami Ullah build a custom WordPress theme from a design?

Yes. Sami Ullah converts Figma, Adobe XD or Photoshop designs into custom WordPress themes, using Advanced Custom Fields for editable sections so site owners can update text and images without touching code. He has done this kind of work in WordPress developer roles since 2019.

Elementor or a custom theme: which is better?

Elementor is faster to start and lets non-developers build pages, but it adds page weight. A custom theme with ACF takes longer to build, loads faster and keeps layouts consistent. Sites with a small budget and frequent layout changes suit Elementor; sites that need speed and a strict design suit a custom theme.

Can Sami Ullah speed up a slow WordPress site?

Yes. Speed work usually means measuring first with PageSpeed Insights and Query Monitor, then removing unused plugins, serving properly sized images in modern formats, caching pages, deferring non-critical scripts and fixing slow database queries. Results are measured before and after, never promised in advance.
