FAQ

Questions clients actually ask.

Answers to the questions clients ask most — pricing, timelines, ownership, technology and support.

Working together

Directly with me. I plan, design and build your project myself and I am your single point of contact from the first call to launch. For larger systems I bring in trusted specialists — for photography or copywriting, for example — but I stay accountable for the whole project.

Yes. I have live projects in the USA, Canada, Australia, Nigeria and India. I schedule calls in your time zone, communicate over email, WhatsApp, Google Meet or Zoom, and invoice in USD or INR.

A short call about your business and goals, any existing brand assets (logo, colours, photos), access to your current website or domain if you have one, and a decision-maker who can give feedback during design. I handle the rest.

Yes. I am happy to sign a mutual NDA before you share sensitive business details, and I regularly work white-label for agencies.

Pricing & payments

Business websites start from ₹29,999 (India) or $899 (international); eCommerce and booking platforms from ₹74,999 / $2,499; and custom ordering, POS or business systems from ₹1,49,999 / $4,999. You get a fixed quote after the discovery call, so there are no surprise invoices.

You are not paying for account managers, sales teams or office overheads. US agencies typically bill $140–$300 an hour; you work directly with a senior developer at a fraction of that, without compromising on code quality, performance or SEO.

Smaller websites are usually 50% to start and 50% before launch. Larger systems are split into milestones — design approval, development and launch — written into your proposal. I accept bank transfer and UPI in India, and international transfers or PayPal for overseas clients.

Your own hosting, domain and any paid third-party services (such as SMS credits or a premium plugin) are billed directly to you. Maintenance is optional — monthly care plans start at ₹2,999 / $99.

Technical

Yes — performance is part of the build, not an extra. I hand-code themes, optimise images and load scripts only where they are needed, targeting 90+ on mobile PageSpeed Insights and passing Core Web Vitals.

No. I build custom WordPress themes and plugins, which keeps sites lighter, more secure and easier to maintain. You still edit pages and menus in the normal WordPress admin.

Yes. I build booking, ordering and eCommerce systems you own outright, integrated with gateways like Razorpay, Stripe, PayPal, PhonePe and eWAY. You pay only the gateway's processing fee — no per-order platform commission.

I build web apps and Progressive Web Apps that install on Android and iPhone home screens from one codebase. For most businesses that is faster and far cheaper than separate native apps — the blog has a full Web App vs Mobile App guide.

After launch

You do — domain, hosting, website, data and source code. Accounts are set up in your name, and nothing is locked to me.

Every project includes a free support window (30 to 90 days depending on the plan) for fixes and small adjustments. After that you can choose a monthly care plan or book hours as needed.

Yes. I start with a short audit of the code, plugins, hosting and security, then give you a clear list of what to fix first and what it will cost.

I recommend, set up and manage hosting, DNS, SSL, Cloudflare and business email in your own accounts, so you keep full control and pay providers directly.
