Outstanding WordPress Developer & Web Maintenance Expert ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I am pleased to leave a glowing 5-star review for Rahat, whom we hired via Upwork for our web development and maintenance needs at VXI. He's punctual with his deliveries, and the quality of his work consistently exceeds our expectations. From the get-go, Rahat impressed us with his in-depth knowledge of WordPress and his proactive approach to web maintenance. He doesn't just fix what we ask; he takes the time to analyze our website and recommend improvements that enhance both its functionality and aesthetics and doesn't hold back when we ask to show us how we can do simple updates ourselves. Having worked with various developers in the past, Rahat stands out for his dedication, attention to detail, and genuine passion for his craft.
