Brief
You tell me what you want. We talk it through, then agree on what is getting built and roughly how long it will take.
- 02
Design
I sketch and design it. You see the work in a browser, not a polished prototype. We change things until it feels right.
- 03
Build
I write the code. You can follow progress as it goes — nothing dropped on you at the end.

Handover
I hand over the finished site and walk you through it. I stay reachable for a couple of weeks in case anything breaks.
About me.
Hey, I'm Agasthya. I design and build websites independently, end-to-end, by hand. (coding obviously)
I'm interested in the parts of a website that most people skip past the typography, the looks and feel of a page, the mobile UI/UX, the way a site feels when you load it for the first time. Most new websites are the same today(its basically AI slop). I'm not going to make those.
I work alone. Every project I take on is one I personally design, code, and ship. There's no team behind me, no agency dressed up as a studio. If you hire me, you get me.
When I'm not designing or coding, I'm probably reading, studying, listening to songs, or making notes about why a font I saw on a website annoyed me.

Notes.
THE DETAILS ARE THE WORK
Favicon, loading state, the empty version of a screen, what the form says after someone hits send. Clients never ask for these and always notice when they are missing. Finishing is the part most sites skip.
YOU DON'T NEED A FRAMEWORK
Most sites ship a megabyte of JavaScript to show a paragraph and a button. Plain HTML loads faster, breaks less, and outlives the tooling it would have leaned on. Reach for the heavy stuff when the page needs it, not by default.
MOTION IS NOT PERSONALITY
Adding animation to a dull page just gives you a dull page that moves. An effect should explain something or get out of the way. Most of them are decoration covering the fact that nobody decided what the page is for.
TEMPLATES LOOK LIKE TEMPLATES
You can spot a bought theme in two seconds, and so can the client's customers. Same three sections, same stock photos, same safe font. Cheaper to start with, expensive to be forgotten.
FAST BEATS FANCY
A site that takes four seconds to load has already lost the person it was built for. Most people leave before the hero animation finishes. Speed is the first thing a visitor feels and the last thing anyone designs for.
MOST WEBSITES DON'T HAVE EDITORS
People spend weeks polishing animations nobody notices, then publish copy that sounds machine generated. Design gets attention first, but words decide whether someone trusts you enough to stay.
YOUR WEBSITE ISN'T YOUR BRAND
A logo is not a brand. A gradient is not a brand. Most websites today look expensive for five seconds and forgettable forever. Branding starts when somebody remembers you without seeing the logo again.
AI BUILT IT. NOBODY READ IT.
Most websites today were not designed, they were prompted. Someone typed a prompt, took the first result, and deployed it. Half of them break on mobile. Buttons too small to tap. Text off-screen. Nobody is reviewing the work after they generate it. That part still takes a person.
WHY I DO NOT USE INTER
Inter is fine, but to overused. An AI website's default font has become Inter. There are a hundred better, stranger options and almost none of them cost extra.
SHIPPING IS A DESIGN DECISION
A website is not finished when it looks done, it is finished when it is live. Most of the work and effects that matters happens after the first week in production!
WHY THESE NOTES EXIST
A small commitment to thinking out loud. One entry a week, no longer than a para. If it cannot be said in a para it probably is not worth saying yet.
