Kuldeep Negi Freelance full-stack developerTaking new projects
Web development builtaround your business
I’m Kuldeep Negi, a freelance full-stack web developer in Dehradun, India. I build and improve WordPress websites, Shopify stores and custom PHP applications, with technical SEO and practical AI integrations designed around real business needs.
A practical approach to solving business problems with technology
My work in web development has taught me that a good website is more than a polished interface. It should help a business serve customers, run more efficiently and adapt as its needs change.
Dehradun, Uttarakhand
I started by solving practical website challenges and gradually built experience across WordPress, Shopify, Joomla, OpenCart, Drupal and custom PHP applications. Today, I help businesses and agencies ship new features, fix complex issues and build maintainable digital experiences instead of forcing every requirement into an off-the-shelf tool.
My approach is straightforward: understand the problem first, explain the trade-offs, agree on scope and build for long-term use. I focus on clear communication, dependable delivery and code that can be understood and maintained after handover.
Working with clients across India and international markets has made collaboration and context especially important. I keep stakeholders informed, coordinate across time zones and use the right technology for the requirement—including AI integrations when they offer a measurable, practical benefit.
From tailored CMS development and eCommerce to custom applications, API integrations and practical AI-powered workflows.

A development partner focused on business outcomes
The goal is not simply to ship code. It is to deliver a solution that fits your requirements, supports your team and can evolve with your business.
Direct developer collaboration
You work directly with the developer building your solution, with clear communication from discovery through delivery and handover.
Solutions built for your requirements
I choose the right approach for the job, prioritising maintainability, performance, security and a sensible path for future improvements.
Technical SEO considered early
I account for crawlability, semantic HTML, metadata, structured data where appropriate, clean URLs, mobile usability and performance during development. Rankings still depend on competition, content and other factors.
Defined scope and transparent estimates
You receive a written scope, deliverables, assumptions and a project estimate before work begins, helping reduce surprises and scope confusion.
Remote collaboration that works
I work with clients in India and internationally, using agreed communication channels, regular progress updates and planned meeting times.
Support beyond launch
Handover, bug fixes, updates and maintenance can be planned around your needs, so the site remains supportable as your business evolves.

How a project runs
A transparent process with agreed scope, clear communication, testing and a practical handover.
1
Discovery & planning
We define the business goal, users, requirements, integrations, success criteria and constraints before agreeing the scope, timeline and estimate.
2
Solution planning
We confirm the user journey, technical approach, content needs and any third-party or AI services before implementation begins.
3
Development & testing
I implement the agreed scope, then test key flows, responsive layouts, integrations, error handling and performance before launch.
4
Launch & handover
I deploy the solution, configure agreed technical SEO essentials, document key details and provide handover or ongoing support as agreed.

Frequently asked questions
The questions clients ask most before we start. Anything else? Email me.
Can you improve or extend an existing WordPress or Shopify website?
Yes. I can review an existing website, diagnose issues, improve performance, customise themes or plugins, connect third-party services and build new functionality. We can start with a focused task or define a larger improvement plan after reviewing the site and your goals.
Can you integrate AI into my existing website or web application?
Yes. Depending on the use case, an existing website can be connected to AI services for features such as a customer-support assistant, natural-language search, content or document processing, product recommendations, and workflow automation. I first assess the data, integrations, privacy requirements and expected value, then recommend a practical scope.
What does AI integration involve, and do I need to train my own AI model?
Most business use cases do not require training a model from scratch. They can often use an established AI API connected to your website, database or business tools. The right approach depends on the task, data sensitivity, expected usage, accuracy requirements and ongoing API costs.
Can you develop custom WordPress themes, plugins and Shopify apps?
Yes. I develop tailored WordPress themes and plugins, Shopify theme features and custom app integrations, as well as PHP-based functionality when existing tools cannot meet the requirements. The proposed solution is based on your platform, workflows and long-term maintenance needs.
Will the website be built with SEO in mind?
I account for technical SEO foundations such as crawlable page structure, semantic HTML, page titles and descriptions, clean URLs, mobile usability, performance and relevant structured data. These foundations help search engines understand the site, but they cannot guarantee rankings; content quality, competition and ongoing SEO also matter.
Can you work with our in-house team or agency?
Yes. I can collaborate with business owners, designers, marketers and agency teams, follow an agreed workflow, work with version control and contribute to an existing codebase. We can define responsibilities, access and communication before the work starts.
How do you estimate project cost?
Pricing depends on the scope, complexity, integrations, existing code quality and delivery timeline. After understanding your requirements, I provide an estimate with deliverables and assumptions. Third-party subscriptions, AI API usage, hosting and paid apps are identified separately where applicable.
How long will development take?
Timing depends on the requirements, content readiness, review cycles and external integrations. A small change may take much less time than a new store or custom application. I provide a realistic timeline after reviewing the scope and flag dependencies that could affect delivery.
Will I own the code and be able to maintain the website?
Ownership, source-code handover, third-party licences and access arrangements are clarified in the project agreement. I aim to deliver maintainable work with appropriate handover notes, and can coordinate with your team or another developer for future changes.
Can you maintain a website after launch?
Yes. Support can include troubleshooting, updates, performance checks, security-related maintenance and incremental improvements. The exact coverage and response expectations are agreed in advance so you know what is included.
How do we get started?
Email connect@kuldeepnegi.in or use the quote form to share your website, goals, required features, deadline and any relevant examples. We can then arrange a discovery call and agree the next steps.
Have a website, eCommerce or AI integration project in mind?
Share the challenge you want to solve, the tools you already use and the outcome you need. I’ll review the details and reply within one working day.
