Founding Partner · WordPress, Shopify & Technical SEO Lead
Ajmair Hussain
15 years building WordPress and Shopify sites for editorial brands, DTC ecommerce, and senior B2B teams. Founded Haxtiv to ship the kind of work the agency world stopped doing well.
Ajmair Hussain has spent 15 years inside WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, and the technical SEO discipline that quietly decides whether a site holds rankings after launch — from hand-coded themes in 2010, through the page-builder era, into the headless-and-edge present. He founded Haxtiv to build websites that hold their shape for years, not months: editorial design systems, ACF content models, clean theme code, schema strategy baked in from day one, internal linking systems that compound, and care plans that actually keep launched sites healthy. He has shipped projects for legal, healthcare, hospitality, SaaS, and DTC brands across 27 countries, and writes about the trade-offs he makes in production — not the ones that look good in slides.
