Dedicated Web Developer
A dedicated web developer is a developer reserved to work full-time or part-time on your projects for a fixed monthly fee — in India, typically ₹40,000–₹1,20,000 per month. I'm Amit Kumar, founder of Cyber Defence and a CEH + CRTA certified developer based in Hisar, Haryana. Instead of quoting each task, you get my ongoing focus, faster turnaround and one accountable person for all your web work across India.

What a dedicated web developer means
A dedicated web developer is someone you retain on a monthly basis to work on your web projects as an extension of your team, rather than hiring per project. You reserve a set share of my time — a few hours a day, or effectively full-time — and I handle whatever web work you throw at it: new features, fixes, redesigns, performance and security. The advantage is continuity. I already know your codebase, your business and your preferences, so there's no ramp-up cost every time something new comes up, and turnaround is far quicker than negotiating a fresh quote for each task. It also smooths your budget into a single predictable monthly figure. When you retain me, you're retaining the person who writes the code and owns the outcome — not a rotating pool of unnamed juniors. For businesses with steady, evolving web needs, this is the most cost-effective and least stressful way to work.
What I handle as your dedicated developer
As your dedicated web developer I cover the full stack so you don't need to hire separate specialists. That includes building new pages and features, maintaining and improving your existing site or web app, fixing bugs, tuning Core Web Vitals and page speed, hardening security, updating dependencies, and handling hosting, SSL, backups and deployments. I work with Next.js, React or plain HTML/CSS/JS on the front-end, WordPress where you self-edit, and Node.js or PHP with MySQL/PostgreSQL on the back-end. Because I already hold your context, I can respond to "can we add this?" in hours, not days. You assign work however suits you — a shared board, WhatsApp, or a weekly call — and I keep you updated on progress and priorities. Effectively you get an in-house-grade developer without the cost, paperwork or management burden of a full-time salaried hire, and without an agency's markup layered on top.
Why a dedicated developer saves you money
Hiring a full-time in-house web developer in India means a salary of ₹6–15 lakh a year plus PF, equipment, workspace, benefits and the risk of the person leaving with all your project knowledge. A dedicated developer on a monthly retainer gives you the same continuity and context for ₹40,000–₹1,20,000 a month, with none of the overhead or HR risk — you scale up or pause as your workload changes. Compared with per-project quoting, a retainer removes the friction and mark-up on every small task; you stop paying a premium each time you want a tweak. And compared with an agency's dedicated-team model, you deal directly with the developer instead of paying for account managers and a corporate margin. For a business with ongoing but not full-time-a-day web needs, the dedicated model is almost always the cheapest path to reliable, senior-level work.
Security and quality you can verify
Retaining a dedicated developer only pays off if the work is genuinely good, so I make my credentials checkable. My CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) and CRTA certifications are real and verifiable, my base at Red Square Market, Hisar, Haryana 125001 is a real address, and my phone answers. Because I specialise in security, everything I ship for you is built to resist attack — inputs sanitised, HTTPS enforced, dependencies patched, admin access locked down. That's a level of protection most freelancers and even many agencies treat as an afterthought, and it matters enormously for a site you're continuously changing, where each new feature is a potential new vulnerability. As your ongoing developer I also keep your stack patched over time, not just at launch, so your site doesn't quietly rot into a security risk. You get honest work from a named, certified person — no fake reviews, no invented client logos, just verifiable expertise.
How the dedicated engagement works
We start with a free call where you describe your ongoing web needs and rough monthly workload, and I recommend an honest level — how many hours a month, at what monthly fee. Once you agree, we set up how you'll assign and prioritise work: most clients use a shared board plus WhatsApp for quick decisions, and a short weekly check-in to align on priorities. I then work through your queue, sharing preview links and progress updates so nothing is a black box. Billing is a simple, predictable monthly figure — no surprise invoices. There's no long lock-in: it's month to month, so you can scale up during a busy build, pause during a quiet spell, or leave entirely with full ownership of everything I've built. If your needs are seasonal or uncertain, we can start small and grow. The whole point is flexibility with continuity, which fixed projects and salaried hires can't both give you.
Dedicated vs project-based: which to choose
The honest verdict: choose dedicated when your web work is ongoing and evolving, and project-based when you have one clear, finite deliverable. A fixed project is perfect for a defined build — a new website, a store, a specific web app — with a locked scope and price; you pay once and you're done. But if you keep coming back with "can we also add…", per-project quoting becomes slow and expensive, because each request carries fresh scoping, negotiation and mark-up. That's when a dedicated retainer wins: continuous context, faster turnaround, and a smoother budget. Many clients sensibly start project-based to get their site built, then switch to a small dedicated retainer to maintain and grow it. Dedicated also beats a salaried in-house hire until your workload genuinely fills a full-time role every day. So map it to your reality: one-off deliverable, hire per project; a living, changing web presence, retain a dedicated developer.
Transparent monthly rates in Indian Rupees
Here's what a dedicated web developer costs with me, plainly. A part-time dedicated arrangement — a few focused hours a day — runs ₹40,000–₹60,000 per month and suits businesses with steady but light ongoing work. A fuller, near-full-time dedicated engagement runs ₹80,000–₹1,20,000 per month for continuous feature work on a serious platform. If you prefer, the same work can be metered hourly at ₹500–₹1,500 per hour, though a monthly retainer is usually cheaper per hour and gives you priority. These are honest ranges — the exact monthly figure is set once I understand your typical workload, and it stays predictable so you can budget confidently. There are no hidden account-management fees, because you deal directly with me. Compared with a ₹6–15 lakh salaried hire or an agency's marked-up dedicated team, retaining a certified independent developer gives you the same continuity and quality at a genuinely fair, transparent price.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a dedicated web developer cost per month in India?
A dedicated web developer in India costs around ₹40,000–₹60,000 per month part-time and ₹80,000–₹1,20,000 per month near-full-time. The same work can be metered at ₹500–₹1,500 per hour. With Cyber Defence the exact monthly figure is set after a free call about your workload, and it stays predictable each month.
Should I choose a dedicated developer or project-based hiring?
Choose dedicated when your web work is ongoing and evolving — you keep adding features and want continuity and fast turnaround. Choose project-based for one clear, finite deliverable with a locked scope and price. Many clients start project-based to build their site, then switch to a small dedicated retainer to maintain and grow it.
Is a dedicated developer cheaper than hiring in-house?
Usually, yes. A full-time in-house web developer in India costs ₹6–15 lakh a year plus PF, equipment, workspace and benefits. A dedicated retainer at ₹40,000–₹1,20,000 a month gives the same continuity and context without that overhead or HR risk, and you scale up or pause as your workload changes.
How many hours do I get with a dedicated developer?
It depends on the tier you choose. A part-time dedicated arrangement is a few focused hours each working day; a near-full-time engagement reserves most of my working day for your projects. We agree the level up front based on your typical workload, and you can scale it up during busy builds or down during quiet spells, month to month.
How do I assign and track work with a dedicated developer?
Directly with me — no account manager. Most clients use a shared board for the task queue, WhatsApp for quick decisions, and a short weekly check-in to align priorities. I share preview links and progress updates so nothing is a black box. Because you deal with the person writing the code, requests turn around in hours, not days.
Is there a long lock-in contract?
No. The dedicated engagement is month to month, so you can scale up during a busy build, pause during a quiet spell, or leave entirely with full ownership of everything I've built. There's no long contract and no lock-in — the arrangement continues only as long as it's genuinely worth it for you.
Kya main ek dedicated web developer monthly basis par hire kar sakta hoon?
Haan, bilkul. Main Amit Kumar, Cyber Defence ka founder aur CEH certified developer hoon. Aap mujhe monthly ₹40,000 se dedicated basis par hire kar sakte hain — main aapke saare web projects par kaam karta hoon. Koi lambi lock-in nahi, month-to-month. WhatsApp par 75175 72000 pe baat karein.
What technologies does the dedicated developer cover?
The full stack: Next.js, React and plain HTML/CSS/JavaScript on the front-end, WordPress for self-editing, and Node.js or PHP with MySQL/PostgreSQL on the back-end. I also handle hosting, SSL, backups, deployments and Core Web Vitals tuning — so you don't need separate specialists for different parts of your web work.
Will my site stay secure as we keep adding features?
Yes — that's a key reason to retain a certified developer. Every new feature is a potential vulnerability, so as your ongoing developer I keep dependencies patched, inputs sanitised and admin access locked down over time, not just at launch. As a CEH-certified ethical hacker, security is built into everything I ship rather than bolted on later.
Do I own everything the dedicated developer builds?
Yes, completely. Everything I build for you — code, content, hosting and accounts — is yours with no lock-in. I hand over all access whenever you ask. Because it's a month-to-month arrangement with a named, verifiable developer, you're never held hostage and can bring in another developer at any time with everything ready to transfer.
