Katalaga Hakim Developer & e-commerce manager

I take care of the tech
behind your business.

I manage Shopify stores, build WordPress websites and connect the tools your business relies on. From a theme fix to an entire store build, you work directly with me.

Based in Uganda. Working globally.

Process

How it works

01

Share your goals and priorities

Send your website and a short brief on WhatsApp, Signal or email. Tell me what needs fixing or what you want to build. I’ll review it and explain how I can help.

02

You get a fixed price

You receive a written scope, a fixed project price and an agreed timeline. Changes to the scope are priced and approved before additional work begins.

03

I build. You run your business.

We agree on the access needed for the work. You keep ownership of your accounts. I share progress through your preferred channel and prepare the work for your review.

04

You approve. Then you pay.

Review the work. If something needs adjusting, I fix it. Projects include two weeks of bug fixes after delivery, so you have time to use the work and flag any issues.

Client feedback

What it’s like to work with me.

“I was spending 15 hours a week on product uploads alone. Katalaga set up a system that cut it to under 2 hours. My store actually looks better now than when I was doing it myself.”

Marcus T.Shopify Store Owner, USA

“We needed our entire GoHighLevel rebuilt from scratch. Previous VA left it a mess. Katalaga came in, documented everything, and built workflows that actually work. Night and day difference.”

Sarah K.Agency Owner, UK

“Fast, communicative, and doesn't need handholding. I send a WhatsApp voice note explaining what I need, and it's done by next day. Been on retainer for 8 months now - handles our ads too.”

David R.E-commerce Brand, Canada

FAQ

Questions you might have

Can't find what you're looking for? Just text me.

What do you charge?

One-off tasks start at $50. Full projects range $300–$2,000. Monthly retainers for ongoing store management start at $800/month. You'll always know the price before I start. No hourly billing, no surprises.

Do you also run ads?

Yes. Google Ads and Facebook Ads - campaign setup, audience targeting, conversion tracking, ongoing optimization. I handle both the technical side (pixels, tracking, conversions) and the media buying itself. Ad management can be included in a monthly retainer.

How fast can you deliver?

Allow 24–48 hours for small tasks and 1–2 weeks for larger projects as a starting estimate. I confirm the delivery date after reviewing the scope and my availability. If you have a deadline, include it in your brief.

What if something breaks after you finish?

Projects include two weeks of bug fixes after delivery. If you find an issue with the work I delivered, send me the details and I’ll fix it at no extra charge. New features or changes are quoted separately.

Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes. A monthly retainer can cover product updates, website maintenance, workflow fixes, new automations and ad management. We agree on the scope and support arrangements before starting.

What's the best way to reach you?

Send a project brief on WhatsApp, Signal or email. If a conversation would be more useful, book a 30-minute introduction through Calendly. I work in East Africa Time (UTC+3).

What timezone are you in?

East Africa Time (EAT/UTC+3). I work with clients globally and can adjust for urgent requests. Since most communication is async (text/email), timezone differences rarely matter.
