Murtaza Rajkotwala

I'm Murtaza Rajkotwala, a Chicago-based full stack WordPress, Shopify, and PHP developer with 15+ years of experience building websites that are as visually strong as they are technically sound. My background in graphic design gives every project a visual edge that pure developers often miss.

What I Do

I work with startups and established brands to build, redesign, and optimize websites that truly represent their identity. Whether it's a custom WordPress theme, a Shopify store, or a complex PHP application, I focus on delivering work that performs — not just looks good.

Services

• Custom WordPress theme design and development
• Shopify store development and optimization
• PHP web application development
• Graphic design and visual identity
• Website performance and scalability

Every project starts with listening. Before I pick up a pencil or open a file, I make sure I deeply understand what the brand is, who it's for, and what it needs to communicate — because great design is only possible when it's built on genuine understanding. That's why clients come back, and why the work holds up over time.

I work with a wide range of clients — from early-stage founders building their brand for the first time to established companies refreshing an identity that no longer reflects who they've become. Whatever the starting point, my goal is always the same: to create something that feels unmistakably right for your brand and genuinely connects with the people you're trying to reach.

A strong fit for clients who need a developer with real design sensibility — available for web design and development projects in Chicago and remotely.
