Websites and content that get found on Google and in AI search
I’m Shafiqul Islam, a Fulbright scholar. I design WordPress websites, optimize them for SEO and GEO, and write the content that ranks, with the rigor of an academic editor.

What I do
Four services, each handled by me directly from first message to final delivery.
WordPress web design and development
Custom WordPress builds and redesigns on the WP CMS, with clean mobile-friendly design, fast load times, and a structure visitors can follow without effort.
Best for businesses, academics, and creators who need a site that works and looks credible.
SEO and GEO visibility
Keyword research, search intent mapping, and technical and on-page optimization, with content structured so Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and other AI answer engines can find and cite it.
Best for sites that want to be found without paying for ads.
Highly optimized web content
Pages, articles, and guides written for real readers and built for search from the start, with clear structure, proper sourcing, and the right keywords in the right places.
Best for sites that need content that ranks and still reads well.
Academic-grade editing and content customization
Editing and polishing for theses, manuscripts, and abstracts, plus tailoring academic and professional content to a specific audience, journal, or application.
Best for students, researchers, and institutions who need writing held to an academic standard.

Who you’ll be working with
I’m Shafiqul Islam, an Assistant Professor of English at the University of Barishal in Bangladesh. I hold two MA degrees, including one in environmental humanities from the University of Montana, where I studied as a Fulbright scholar, and I have supervised MA students through their theses.
My research focuses on environmental justice in Bangladesh. My Montana thesis examines sand extraction, stone quarrying, topsoil removal, and ecosystem restoration, and I presented on topsoil removal and environmental justice at an ASLE conference in Maryland. I have also written on technocolonialism in The Ministry for the Future and on migration in Amitav Ghosh’s Gun Island.
The same habit of checking sources and saying plainly what I can deliver shapes my web work. You can see it on Environmental Justice Hub, where I bring that scholarship to a wider audience.

Common questions
How much does it cost?
Every project is quoted individually. Send me a message with what you need and I’ll reply with a written quote before any work begins.
How long does a project take?
A typical website, with design, five pages of content, and basic SEO, takes about four weeks. Editing a master’s thesis takes about ten days. Larger or custom projects are scoped after we talk.
What kinds of academic work do you edit?
Theses and dissertations, journal manuscripts, abstracts, and application materials such as statements of purpose and CVs. I work mainly in English and the humanities.
What is GEO?
GEO, or generative engine optimization, means structuring your content so AI tools like Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT can understand it and cite it, alongside normal search ranking.
Will my drafts stay confidential?
Yes. I treat manuscripts, applications, and business information as private and don’t share them.
Can you work with me from another country?
Yes. I’m based in Bangladesh and work online with people anywhere. I usually reply to messages within a day.
