For US businesses
A remote developer who builds accessible by default
Next.js and ASP.NET Core for businesses across the US, built to WCAG 2.2 AA with the ADA in mind, quoted as a fixed price in dollars - and you talk to the person writing the code.
USD invoicing · WCAG 2.2 AA · W-8BEN · Fixed-price scopes
The four things a US buyer asks first
Built for the ADA from the first commit
Web accessibility lawsuits are a routine cost of doing business online in the US. There is no codified standard for private businesses, so settlements and courts work to WCAG 2.1 AA. Sites I build target WCAG 2.2 AA - keyboard paths, contrast, labels, focus order - checked as they are built, not bolted on after a demand letter.
A time gap, handled honestly
India is nine and a half hours ahead of US Eastern in summer. Your early morning is my evening, so that is when calls happen; the rest runs asynchronously and you usually wake up to the next update. West Coast clients get fewer live hours - worth knowing before you hire anyone offshore.
Dollars, a fixed price and a W-8BEN
Quoted and invoiced in US dollars against a written scope. As a contractor outside the US I complete a Form W-8BEN rather than a W-9. Confirm how to book it with your accountant.
Privacy without the cookie-banner theatre
No tracking pixels you did not ask for, analytics that respect opt-outs, and a privacy policy that describes what the site actually does - which is what state privacy laws such as California's expect.
No US logos yet - here is the remote work instead
These were built and run for clients in another time zone, the same way a US project would be. Every one is live and written up.
What I take on
Small enough to care about your project, experienced enough that you are not paying for someone to learn on it.
About the rate
I am based in India, so my rate sits well below a US agency's. That is a difference in cost of living, not in care - you get the same person on every call, and the code is written to a standard I am willing to put my name against publicly.
Every project is quoted as a fixed price against a written scope, in dollars. No hourly surprises, and no charge for the conversation that works out what you need.
Replies within one working day - usually overnight for you. If your project is not something I should take on, I will say so.
Questions people actually ask
- Have you worked with US clients before?
- Not yet with a US company on this portfolio - the closest work is two live UK systems, linked on this page, which run remotely exactly the way a US project would. I would rather say that plainly than borrow someone else's logo.
- Does the ADA apply to my website?
- For businesses open to the public, the Department of Justice's position since its March 2022 guidance is that the ADA covers their websites, and thousands of web accessibility lawsuits are filed in the US every year. There is no codified standard for private businesses, so settlements and courts work to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Sites I build target WCAG 2.2 AA, which covers it.
- How does the time difference work?
- India is nine and a half hours ahead of US Eastern time in summer and ten and a half in winter, and thirteen or so ahead of the West Coast. Your early morning overlaps my evening, which is when calls happen; the rest of the work runs asynchronously, so you usually wake up to the next update rather than waiting on one.
- How do invoicing and tax paperwork work?
- Projects are quoted and invoiced in US dollars against a written scope. As a contractor outside the US I complete a Form W-8BEN for you rather than a W-9. Confirm how to record the payment with your accountant rather than with me.
- Why is your rate lower than a US agency?
- I am based in India and there is no agency layer - no sales team, no account manager, no office. That is a difference in cost of living and structure, not in care. Every project is a fixed price against a written scope, so there are no hourly surprises either way.
