Your Dokan marketplace shouldn't break every time you customize it.
We're a small WordPress & Dokan specialist team — Top Rated Plus on Upwork, 10+ years in. We fix the marketplaces other developers say "can't be done," and we ship them on deadline.
Most WordPress agencies build brochure sites. We build the complicated stuff that actually runs a business.
If you've ever hired a WordPress developer to extend Dokan — to change how commissions are calculated, how vendors register, how products sync to a third-party API — you already know the conversation. "That's a core file. We can't touch it."
Or worse: they touch it, it works for two weeks, and then a plugin update breaks the whole store on a Saturday.
D&D Web Studio is built for that exact problem. Sachin and the team have spent a decade in WooCommerce core, Dokan hooks, custom plugin architecture, and the kind of REST API work that doesn't survive on Stack Overflow answers. We're who agencies hire when their lead developer says it's impossible.

How we shipped a production Dokan marketplace in 6 weeks.
He brings solid expertise not only in WordPress and WooCommerce, but also in Dokan — an area where complexity increases quickly as business rules expand. Sachin handled it cleanly.
K. Acosta · Founder, Edible
12+ verified reviews. Zero one-star history.
"Built custom WooCommerce APIs that greatly increased performance — plus many functionality enhancements that solved problems other developers had told us were impossible."
"Brilliant work throughout. Sachin displayed very good understanding of every layer of the tech stack, which made the whole process smooth."
"A very skilled WooCommerce specialist. Excellent on multiple tasks. I would not hesitate to use Sachin again in the future."
"The best web developer I've worked with. Super knowledgeable, versatile, attentive — committed to the end result, not just shipping the ticket."
"Improved the speed of my WordPress site dramatically — especially the admin dashboard, which is almost doubled in speed now. Hard to find this level of care."
"Sachin gets Dokan in a way most developers don't. He thinks through the business rules first, then writes the code — not the other way around."
From inquiry to live store, in four steps.
Discovery call
30 minutes. We listen, you talk. By the end, you'll know whether we're the right fit — and we'll have a rough scope & price.
Written proposal
Within 48 hours. Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed timeline. No surprises mid-project. You approve, we start.
Build & review
Weekly demos on staging. You see progress every Friday. We adjust before we ship — not after.
Launch & support
Hand-off documentation, training, and 30 days of post-launch support included. Then we're available on retainer.
Frequently asked, plainly answered.
If your question isn't here, ask it on the strategy call. We don't dodge.
You're based in India. Will time zones be a problem?
We've delivered 200+ projects to US, UK, and Australian clients without timezone friction. We keep overlapping working hours, weekly Friday demos in your timezone, and same-day async responses. Most clients say they have more visibility into our work than they did with their local agency.
Why hire you instead of a US-based agency that charges 3× more?
If you need a 50-person agency with quarterly business reviews and a project manager who flies to your office, hire one. If you need a senior developer who actually writes the code, knows Dokan at the source level, and ships on deadline — that's us. We're not cheaper because we're worse. We're cheaper because we're small, focused, and run from Bhopal.
What if my project goes over scope?
Scope creep is a project management failure, not a client failure. We write tight specs upfront precisely so this doesn't happen. If new requirements come up mid-build (they always do), we send a written change order with cost and timeline impact before doing the work. You always know what you're paying for.
Do you work with non-Dokan WooCommerce projects?
Yes — Dokan is our specialty, but the team has 10+ years across the full WooCommerce ecosystem: custom checkouts, subscriptions, complex tax/shipping rules, integrations, performance work. If it's WordPress and it's hard, we're interested.
Will I own the code?
100%. All custom code is delivered with documentation. No license traps, no proprietary frameworks, no "we host it and you pay forever." If you fire us tomorrow, another developer can pick up exactly where we left off.
What does the strategy call cost?
The first 30-minute discovery call is free — we both need to know if it's a fit. After that, deeper technical scoping calls are billed as part of the proposal process. We respect your time and ours.
Let's talk about your marketplace.
Tell us where it hurts. We'll tell you — honestly — whether we can fix it, how long it'll take, and what it'll cost. No sales theatre.
