About · since 2014

A small studio
with one big idea —
be a  real buddy.

Things are never quite as scary when you’ve got a best friend.

BuddyDevelopers is a small WordPress studio led by Naveen Giri, based in Dehradun, India. We’ve been educating people about WordPress and saving them money since 2014. We don’t pitch. We don’t upsell. We just build clean WordPress sites, tell you the truth about what you actually need, and stay around to help when things break.

Naveen, who reads every brief

The team · small & senior

Led by Naveen Giri.

Naveen has been writing WordPress code since 2014. He answers your emails, scopes your project, and often writes the code himself. When the work calls for more hands — design, AI, infrastructure — he pulls in a small bench of trusted collaborators he’s worked with for years.

That’s it. No account managers, no “client success” layer, no junior dev quietly doing the work. Just one experienced WordPress engineer and a small, dependable crew.

Principles · how we work

Four small promises.

i

Honest scoping

We tell you the truth — even when the truth is ‘you don’t need this’. Saved a client $4,200 in plugin licenses last year by saying so.

iii

Clean WordPress code

Coding standards, hooks where you’d expect them, sensible naming. Whoever inherits this codebase next will thank you.

ii

One real person

We tell you the truth — even when the truth is ‘you don’t need this’. Saved a client $4,200 in plugin licenses last year by saying so.

iv

We stick around

Care & maintenance after launch — for as long as you want us. Some of our retainers are now eight years old. That’s not normal. We like it.
