Freelance Web Designer & WordPress Educator — Pune, India
Prashant Mittal is a freelance web designer based in Pune, India, with over 15 years of professional experience building websites for local businesses across the USA, UK, Australia, and beyond. Since 2011, he has designed and delivered more than 1,800 websites for 900+ clients — from salons and restaurants to dental clinics, fitness studios, coaches, and real estate agencies.
He is the founder of Param Freelance, a freelance web design studio that specialises in fast, clean, and practical websites built on WordPress and Elementor. Alongside his client work, Prashant runs a free tutorial blog and YouTube channel where he publishes step-by-step guides on WordPress, Elementor, WooCommerce, and GoHighLevel.
After years of answering the same questions from clients and fellow designers in online communities — “How do I set up X in Elementor?” “Which booking plugin works best for a salon?” “Why isn’t my WooCommerce checkout working?” — Prashant began recording practical video walkthroughs on YouTube.
That YouTube channel grew into the tutorial blog at paramfreelance.com. Every article published here originated as a real question from a real client or community member. The goal is simple: give people a complete written guide they can follow without needing to watch a video, and without needing to hire a developer.
His tutorials cover four main areas of WordPress and web design:
💡 Prashant’s Core Belief
Build a fast, clean, simple website — not a fancy one.
Most local businesses don’t need parallax effects, hero videos, or dozens of animations. They need a site that loads in under 3 seconds, clearly communicates what they do, and makes it easy for visitors to call, book, or buy.
Simple websites convert better. Simple websites rank better on Google. And they are far easier for business owners to maintain themselves.
This philosophy runs through every tutorial Prashant publishes. He favours lean, practical solutions over bloated themes — and recommends Elementor as his page builder of choice for building professional-looking sites without writing any code.
Prashant publishes new tutorial videos regularly on his YouTube channel, Quick Tips — with each video accompanied by a written step-by-step guide here on the blog.
Business owners looking for a website built the right way — fast, SEO-ready, and built on WordPress and Elementor — can reach him through the Pricing page or Contact page.
Questions about a specific tutorial are welcome in the comments section of any post. Prashant reads every comment and replies regularly.

Installing the free Elementor post slider plugin is covered in this article. Using this free plugin, you can make an Elementor post carousel.

Every local business website needs a way to capture leads without sending visitors away from the page they are already on. That is exactly what an Elementor popup form does — it lets a contact form appear right on top of your page when a visitor clicks a button, scrolls down, or lands on

Building a beautiful website with Elementor is only half the battle. The other half? Making sure Google can actually find it.

Running a service-based business — a salon, clinic, gym, or coaching practice — and still taking appointment requests over the phone or through WhatsApp?

Building a professional-looking header and footer in Elementor does not have to cost you anything.

Running a WooCommerce store and wondering how to create a members-only section without spending money on expensive plugins? You are not alone.

Running a flash sale on your WooCommerce store but customers just aren’t converting fast enough? The problem is often simple — shoppers don’t feel any urgency to act now.

Every local business website needs a contact form. Whether you are running a salon, a clinic, a coaching practice, or a restaurant, a working contact form is how potential customers reach you.

Running a WooCommerce store with dozens — or even hundreds — of products? The default grid layout works fine for some shops, but for wholesale stores, restaurants, book sellers, or any business where customers already know what they want, that grid can feel slow and frustrating. Shoppers have to click into each individual product
Running a WooCommerce store without a proper refund system is a risk you really cannot afford. Customers expect a clear, easy way to request a refund or return — and if your store does not have one, they will simply dispute the charge with their bank or leave a bad review instead. The good
Running a WooCommerce store and want to offer subscription products — but not ready to shell out for the expensive official WooCommerce Subscriptions extension? You are not alone. Most small business owners I work with are shocked to discover that the official plugin costs over $199 per year just to collect recurring payments. The
Every local business website needs a clean, organised FAQ section — but nobody wants to scroll through a wall of text to find their answer. That is exactly where the Elementor accordion widget comes in. It lets you collapse and expand content with a single click, keeping your pages tidy and your visitors happy.
Too much content crammed onto a single page is one of the fastest ways to lose a visitor. People scan — they don’t read — and if they can’t find what they’re looking for in seconds, they’re gone. That’s exactly why the Elementor Tabs Widget is one of my favourite tools when building websites
Ever noticed how customers land on your WooCommerce product page, scroll all the way down to read reviews and descriptions, and then just… leave?

Every local business website I build has one thing in common — clients want visitors to trust them fast.
