Fifteen engineers in Bangalore, on WordPress since 2016

Small enough that the engineer on your first call is the one who does the work. Old enough to have seen most of what can go wrong.

Our story

How CodeTrappers started

Why it started

We started in Bangalore in 2016. Plenty of firms could build a website; far fewer would answer the phone six months later, or tell a client the honest thing when a project was going wrong. That gap is the whole reason the company exists.

Six people to fifteen

Yusuf Mudagal started it with five other engineers. We have grown to fifteen in ten years, which is deliberate: hiring faster than we can train people is how agencies end up putting juniors on work the client thought they were buying seniors for.

A name that captures the essence

A defining moment took place late one evening in 2016. As the founders walked through the bustling streets of Bangalore brainstorming a name, they wanted something that symbolised problem-solving and innovation. That's when inspiration struck, CodeTrappers, a name that captures the idea of catching ideas and turning them into powerful code.

Commitment to excellence

From humble beginnings, CodeTrappers has built a reputation for developing scalable, high-performance websites while delivering exceptional customer experiences. Today it continues to expand its reach, earning the trust of clients across industries and geographies.

Staying true to core values

At its core, CodeTrappers remains dedicated to fostering a culture of learning, collaboration and problem-solving. With a strong focus on both people and technology, the company is committed to shaping the future of digital solutions while staying true to its people-first philosophy.

Why teams pick us

What we bring to every project

Builds, migrations and rescues

We do the building, the moving and the fixing. Most clients arrive with a site somebody else made, not a blank page.

Built to survive updates

Standards-compliant code with tests, so the next core release is a non-event rather than a support ticket.

Fixed scope, fixed price

Agreed in writing before work starts, including what is excluded. If we get the estimate wrong, that is our problem, not yours.

We say when it is not us

Sometimes the honest answer is a template, a page builder, or another firm entirely. We would rather say so than take the project.

Proven track record

102 client sites live and maintained, and 300+ migrations run without data loss. The showcase lists them.

The same people throughout

No handover to a delivery team once you sign. The engineer who scoped the work is the engineer who does it.

More about CodeTrappers

The numbers behind a decade of work

15 People

Small on purpose. It is why the engineer who joins your first call is the one who does the work, and why nothing gets handed to a junior after you sign.

1,200+ Projects completed

Builds, migrations, rescues and long-running maintenance, counted since 2016. Most of them are sites somebody else built first.

102 Client sites live

Every one of them is listed in the showcase, with the stack we built it on and the traffic it carries.

300+ Migrations run

Moved to WordPress with no data lost, which is the number we are asked to stand behind most often.

15,000+ Hours given back to WordPress

Three contributors sponsored ten hours a week through Five for the Future, every week since 2016.

10+ Years on WordPress

Working on WordPress since 2016, through four major releases of the block editor and every breaking change that came with them.

What we value

Innovation through challenges

Every challenge is a chance to innovate. We don't just solve problems, we turn them into opportunities for growth, creativity and transformation.

Commitment to excellence

We are defined by what we consistently do. Excellence is not a one-time act but a habit, one that drives us to push boundaries and deliver our best in everything we do.

Continuous growth

We believe in getting 1% better every day. Small, consistent improvements in skills, habits and process compound into work we are proud to put our name on.

Work that outlasts us

Documented, standards-compliant and handed over in full, so another team could pick it up without calling us. Some have.

Understanding people's needs and focusing on their success drives our growth. Challenges will come, but our commitment to excellence means we always go the extra mile to deliver value and earn trust.
