Paiyak Products WordPress products for writers

Your back against a brick wall, your hands splayed out against the masonry, you wonder if you're in the right place. It's too dark, too confusing. It certainly isn't the place for a person like you. You like bright fields and warm, sunny days. Sure, sometimes you like the rain, but only when you can dive into a coffee shop with a good book. Or better yet, with your latest work-in-progress. You're a writer, not a developer. You don't belong in the dark alleys of web development. Or do you?

"Pst." Hot breath tickles your ear. "Come a little closer." You expect a shadowy figure, but you turn to see a mirror image of yourself. Yoga pants, a cup of coffee, glasses slightly askew.

That's me, Koji. I'm a writer, just like you, on the wonderful (and often confusing) journey to publication. I realize a writer website is an important tool for writers at all stages of their journey. I know there's advice out there. I've read a lot of it, and I'm ready to dive into this challenge on my own.

Okay, not completely on my own. My partner, Nikola, is the lead developer of Paiyak Development. He's agreed to be my guide. So what do you say? Want to come with us? Go ahead, press yourself off the wall. Take a step. Let's see what WordPress can offer writers.

I’ve worked with Nikola on and off for a little over a year now. Nikola’s knowledge with not only WordPress, but in anything code related is astounding. Anytime I had a project/assignment that was out of my wheelhouse, Nikola was able to make it happen. From helping develop a custom web application for a large local company, to connected an e-commerce website to Sage100 (not easily done from WordPress), Nikola always delivered. It’s also refreshing that if he’s unsure about how to do something right away, he always would let me know, and then very soon after would send back a solution that worked. Incredible. Without any hesitation whatsoever, I definitely recommend him, his team, and his services to anyone interested in hiring Paiyak Development.

Nikola is really an amazing, top-notch developer. He is an expert in building high-quality full-scale web sites and applications, while meticulously executing each tiny detail of the client requests. He’s somehow always able to go beyond the client’s expectations with his impressive work. It was a great pleasure to work with Nikola, and I highly recommend the Paiyak Development services.

Nikola really knows his stuff. He is a great WordPress developer. On codementor.io, he helped me figure out badly written legacy custom WordPress code pretty quickly. Also, he created a development/staging server for me so I could test new code without breaking the live server. For a newbie WordPress developer like myself, this was a huge help.

I manage several clients and their websites, mainly in the non-profit sector, and when I found Nikola my life got a lot easier!
Nikola has been my WordPress developer on several projects and I wouldn’t work with anyone else!
Nikola is one of the “good guys” in the development world. He is very personable, patient and easy to work with. He knows his stuff and suggests options when he sees the need for it. He is a great resource for information and happy to educate and inform along the way. And he gets the project done on time! His support and interest in non-profits is an added plus.
I have not met a more professional and capable developer in my years of website management and development. Cheers Nikola!

Nikola is an expert in WordPress and a great teacher. He taught me everything I know about WordPress from scratch, including a number of WordPress best practices such as creating customized WordPress theme, widget and plugin. He is always honest, patient and helpful. I feel very lucky to have found a WordPress expert like Nikola.

During the start of a new WordPress website in 2013 for our company we had some problems with compatibility of WordPress plugins. At that time I met Nikola who helped me out and solved all the problems quickly. When he founded Paiyak Development it was without any doubt to ask him to develop a new website for us. With his professional team, endless support and effort to make it perfect they succeeded for 100%. We are more than happy with their professional attitude, no nonsense service, fantastic communication and critical eye. For us they are priceless! Also in the future we will keep doing business with Paiyak Development for sure! We will absolutely highly recommend Paiyak Development.
