Naveen Kumar

Founder & lead engineer · Based in Chennai, India, working with clients across the US, UK, Europe and Australia

I'm a hands-on engineer, not a manager who hands work down. I design the architecture, write the code, debug what breaks and run the servers myself, across WordPress, WooCommerce and custom PHP applications. If your site goes down, you're talking to the person who fixes it, not a support queue.

PixelGravitas exists because most website owners are stuck between two bad options: a freelancer who disappears when they get busy, or an agency that routes you through account managers before you reach anyone technical. The fix is simple to describe and hard to do: one accountable engineer, published prices, and everything in writing.

The stack

What we work with,
day to day.

Website problems rarely stay in one layer. A slow site can be a plugin, a database, a server setting or a CDN rule, so the work covers all of them.

WordPress & WooCommerceThemes, plugins, Elementor Pro and page builders, WooCommerce stores, checkout and payment integrations.
Custom codePHP and CodeIgniter applications, MySQL, custom CRMs and REST/API integrations between systems.
Servers & hostingLinux server administration, Apache, WHM/cPanel, AWS EC2, DigitalOcean and Cloudways.
PerformanceRedis object caching, OPcache, Cloudflare and Core Web Vitals, measured before and after.
SecurityWordPress hardening, malware cleanup, login protection and closing the way in after a hack.
GrowthAutomation, analytics, SEO and the lead systems that connect a website to the rest of a business.

How we work

Six rules we don't bend.

These are published on every service page, because a promise you can't find again isn't a promise.

Published pricesEvery maintenance plan has a public rate. No "contact us for a quote."
Nothing untested goes liveUpdates are tested on a staging copy before they touch your site.
Extra work is agreed firstAnything outside your plan is quoted in writing before it starts.
You own everythingDomain, hosting and logins stay in your name, and are handed back within 48 hours if you leave.
Month to monthThirty days' notice. No annual contract to catch on a renewal date.
A reply within one business dayFrom the engineer who does the work, every time.

Questions, answered

About PixelGravitas:
common questions.

Who runs PixelGravitas?

Naveen Kumar, founder and lead engineer. He works on client sites directly, from code and servers to security and performance, and he's the person who answers your email.

Where is PixelGravitas based?

Chennai, India (IST, UTC+5:30). We work remotely with clients across the US, UK, Europe and Australia, mostly in writing, with calls booked when they're useful.

Which platforms do you work on?

WordPress, WooCommerce, Webflow, static HTML and custom-coded sites. We don't take on Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Magento, BigCommerce, Drupal or Joomla projects, except to help you move away from them.

Will I be handed to a junior or an account manager?

No. The person who scopes the work is the person who does it and the person who reports on it. That's the point of how we're set up.
