You're losing clients every single day your website looks unprofessional. 💸 Think about it. Someone lands on your site, looks around for 5 seconds, and leaves. Not because your business isn't good enough. Because your website didn't tell them that fast enough. That's exactly the problem I fix. I'm Haseeb, a WordPress and Elementor Pro developer who builds conversion-focused websites for local service businesses. One of my clients went from 2 enquiries a month to 19 in 60 days after I rebuilt their site. That's the kind of result I build toward on every project. Whether you're starting from scratch or your current site is embarrassing you, I turn it into something that works as hard as you do. HERE'S HOW I WORK WITH EVERY CLIENT 👇 🎯 Step 1 - We Talk First Before I touch anything, I sit down with you virtually and actually listen. What's your business? Who are your customers? What's the goal of this website? Most developers skip this. I don't. A website built without understanding your business is just a pretty picture that doesn't sell anything. 🎨 Step 2 - Design That Feels Like You Once I understand your vision, I craft a design that reflects your brand identity. Clean. Professional. Built to make your visitors trust you instantly. You see the design before anything goes live. You approve every detail. No surprises. ⚙️ Step 3 - Built to Perform This is where I bring everything to life on WordPress, Elementor Pro, Wix or Squarespace depending on what fits your business best. Mobile perfect. Fast loading. Optimized for Google. Every button, every page, every section built with one goal in mind, converting your visitors into paying customers. ✅ Step 4 - Tested Until It's Flawless Before you see the final result, I test everything. Every page on every device. Every form, every link, every loading speed. You get a website that works the moment it goes live, not one that needs fixing a week later. 🚀 Step 5 - You Launch With Confidence Handover isn't just me sending you a link and disappearing. I walk you through your new website, make sure you're comfortable managing it, and stay available after launch. My job isn't done when the site goes live. It's done when you're genuinely happy. WHAT I BRING TO EVERY PROJECT 💼 WordPress and Elementor Pro for fully custom builds. Wix and Squarespace for fast, beautiful, manageable websites. WooCommerce for online stores that actually sell. Landing pages built specifically to generate leads. Full website redesigns for businesses that have outgrown their current site. SEO foundations built in from day one so Google can actually find you. WHO I WORK WITH 🤝 I work with growing businesses that are finally ready for a website that matches their ambition. Here's who I help most 👇 • Fitness studios, gyms, yoga instructors and personal trainers • Restaurants, cafes, catering businesses and food brands • Real estate agents, property managers and mortgage brokers • Beauty salons, barbershops, nail studios and med spas • Law firms, accounting practices and financial advisors • Contractors, electricians, plumbers and home service businesses • Ecommerce brands and product businesses ready to sell online • Coaches, consultants and course creators • Dentists, chiropractors, physios and healthcare clinics • Photographers, videographers and wedding planners If your business is on this list, or even if it isn't, and you're serious about a website that actually grows what you've built, you're exactly who I want to work with. The truth is, your website is either working for you or against you right now. There's no middle ground. If you're ready to have one that actually works, send me a message. I respond within a few hours and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit for your project. Let's build something worth showing off. 🤝

How to Hire Top Business Planners

How to hire business planning analysts

Need to gather requirements from stakeholders, generate business forecasts, and create a plan for meeting your business goals? A business planning analyst can help. 

So how do you hire business planning analysts? What follows are some tips for finding top business planning analysts on Upwork. 

How to shortlist business planning analysis professionals

As you’re browsing available business planning analysis consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the contractors you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a business planning analyst who understands your industry so they can develop the right business strategy for your needs. 
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., using Excel pivot tables to analyze data). 
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular business planning analyst.

How to write an effective business planning analysis job post

With a clear picture of your ideal business planning analyst in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project. 

An effective business planning analysis job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From business plans to stakeholder management, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, software, or marketing channels, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

BUSINESS PLANNING ANALYSTS FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is business planning analysis? 

Business planning analysis is the practice of using business intelligence to develop and implement plans, processes, and procedures within an organization. The business planning analyst will also often serve as a liaison between the various stakeholders and departments within a company. 

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in business planning analysis consultants:

  • Business planning, development, and analysis
  • Strong written and verbal communication
  • Business, technical, financial, and/or legal writing
  • Business modeling and forecasting

Why hire business planning analysts?

The trick to finding top business planning analysts is to identify your needs. Do you need someone simply to draft a basic business plan? Or do you also need help documenting and generating risk-mitigation procedures? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life. 

How much does it cost to hire a business planning analyst?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced business planning analyst may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their business planning analysis services more competitively. 

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
