Web designer in Tehran, building sites that stay fast
I am Hossein Parto, a web designer in Tehran. I build WordPress sites by hand in PHP, without a page builder, and I run five of my own on that same code.
Why I do not use a page builder
This page used to be an Elementor build. It loaded 18 stylesheets and 27 scripts before a visitor saw anything. I replaced it with a single standalone PHP template that ships as one HTML request with the CSS and JavaScript inlined, and nothing external except the fonts.
That is the whole argument. A page builder sells you the ability to move a box without a developer, and charges for it in requests on every visit, forever. If moving the box yourself is worth that to you, hire someone who likes page builders. I am not going to pretend I can give you both.
Speed is decided at build time, not by a plugin
A caching plugin bolted onto a heavy site hides the weight from some visitors and none of the crawlers. The decisions that actually matter are made earlier: what the page loads at all, whether the largest image is preloaded rather than lazy loaded, whether the stylesheet is one file or eighteen.
After that, caching is worth having. On this site an nginx page cache serves the HTML before PHP runs and a Redis object cache holds the queries. Both help. Neither would rescue a page that ships 27 scripts.
Persian and English from one stylesheet
Right to left is not a second theme. Written with logical properties, the same stylesheet lays out both directions, which is why the Persian version of this site is the same file and not a fork that slowly falls behind.
The trap is that a right to left layout looks finished long before it is. Icons that point somewhere, anything absolutely positioned, and every hardcoded left and right have to be checked by hand in both directions.
Sites I built and run

What I will not do
- I will not hand you a page builder site. If editing every pixel yourself without touching code is the requirement, we are not a fit.
- I will not add a plugin to solve a problem the build created. It is the same weight with an extra layer on top.
- I work alone, so I take on few projects at a time.
