Chethan HP, Senior WordPress and headless developer

Senior WordPress & headless developer, building the web block by block from Bengaluru.

Page builders when speed matters, hand-coded themes when control matters, React and Next.js when the front end needs to fly. 8+ years of shipping all three.

Let’s work together See how I build

Three ways to build. I do all three.

Every project needs a different tool. Pick one and watch the same page come together.

Page builders

Fast, visual layouts that marketing teams can edit on their own. I set up clean, reusable sections and global styles so pages stay consistent and quick.

Reusable sections and templates
Editors who never need a developer for copy changes
Tuned for page speed and SEO

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if ( have_rows( 'sections' ) ) :
  while ( have_rows( 'sections' ) ) : the_row();
    get_template_part(
      'blocks/' . get_row_layout()
    );
  endwhile;
endif; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Custom themes

Hand-written PHP themes with ACF Flexible Content and custom post types, so editors get exactly the fields they need and nothing they don’t.

ACF Flexible Content, CPTs and taxonomies
Template hierarchy, hooks and shortcodes
WooCommerce and WordPress VIP
