The website, and the
system behind it.

I'm Kousthubha. I build conversion-focused sites and the full-stack systems they run on — from a landing page to a live ERP serving 550+ students.

The problem

You don't need another pretty template. You need software that works.

01
A site that's just a brochure.
It looks fine and does nothing — no bookings, no data, no system working behind it.
02
Tools that don't fit how you work.
Off-the-shelf SaaS forces your process into someone else's boxes, then bills per seat for it.
03
A design, not working software.
Most agencies hand off a pretty mockup and leave you to wire up the backend, data and deploy.

What I do

From the first page to the system behind it.

Most freelancers stop at the website. The edge here is the software underneath it — the dashboards, the ERP, the product.

Web◐

Websites & landing pages

Strategy-led marketing sites built to convert, not just to look good. Copy, design and a fast front-end that loads instantly.

Systems◑

Web apps & ERP

The system behind the site — dashboards, admissions, records, internal tools. The software your organisation actually runs on, day to day.

How I work

Architecture first. Then we build.

●
01 · Week 1
Audit
I map your goals, users, data and existing stack. You leave with a written scope and a fixed quote — yours to keep, even if you don't hire me.
●
02 · Week 1–2
Architecture
The data model, the system design, the plan — before a line of code. Getting this right is why the build doesn't fall apart later.
●
03 · Weeks 2–6
Build & ship
Front-end, back-end, deploy. You see it live early and often, not in one big reveal at the end — feedback every week.
●
04 · Ongoing
Iterate & support
Fixes, new features, handover. You own the code, the repo and the docs — no lock-in, no black box.

Pricing

Your budget, your scope. We set it together.

No price list here on purpose. Every business needs something different, so we talk first, agree on a budget that fits what you actually need, and then I fix the price.

01 · You set the range
“Tell me the budget you’re comfortable with. I’ll tell you exactly what it buys - and what it doesn’t.”
No menu to squeeze into. Your number is the starting point, not mine.
02 · We shape the scope
“A price on a website can’t know your business. A 20-minute call can.”
We cut to what moves the needle first, and park the rest for later.
03 · Then it’s locked
“Once we agree on a number, it stays that number. No hourly meter, no surprise invoices.”
Written scope, milestone payments, you own every line of code.

Not sure what to spend? That's exactly what the call is for. Free, 20 minutes, and you leave with a clear range whether you hire me or not.

FAQ

Questions, answered honestly.

If we haven't covered yours, the fit call is the right place to dig in.

A landing page is usually 1–2 weeks. A full marketing site is 3–4. Web apps and ERPs are scoped per project — but you'll see something live early, and we review progress every week rather than waiting for one big reveal at the end.
Yes — completely. Every repo, every doc, fully handed over at the end. No lock-in, no black box, no licence you keep paying for. If you ever want to take it in-house or hand it to another dev, you can.
A modern, production-grade stack — boring, proven technology chosen for reliability, not resume-building. The goal is software that still runs in two years, not a tech demo.
No — that's the whole point. The edge here is the system behind the site: dashboards, admissions, records, internal tools, AI features. I've shipped a School ERP serving 550+ students, not just brochure sites.
Yes. I'll build inside your Supabase, your HubSpot, your stack — or bring my own if you'd rather not manage it. Whatever means less ongoing cost and lock-in for you.
Yes. You work directly with the engineer writing the code — no account managers, no telephone game between you and whoever actually builds it. Faster decisions, and nothing lost in translation.

real thing.
