Performance is a design decision, not a cleanup task at the end.

ABOUT / THE HUMAN
I’m Parag. I work across web design, development, and AI engineering, bringing visual ideas and the code behind them into the same conversation.
I started with WordPress themes and kept going until I was wiring up Node backends, vector stores and agents that actually cite their sources. Today most of my work sits where design, performance and automation meet.
I like short feedback loops. Weekly previews on a real URL, no 40-page decks, no surprise invoices. You should be able to click the thing you are paying for while it is being built.
When I am not building for clients, I am making tools for myself: a desktop task sorter, a spray-paint canvas, a retrieval engine that refuses to guess. That is usually where the next client idea comes from.
Based in India. Working worldwide. Replies within a day, usually faster.
HOW I WORK
These are the things I refuse to compromise on, even when the brief gets weird.
Performance is a design decision, not a cleanup task at the end.
The layout should fit the business, not the other way around.
You get the accounts, the code and a handover you can follow.
Personality is good. Confusing the visitor is not.
05 / TOOLKIT
Tools I reach for. Not a religion — a toolbox. The right one depends on the job.
06 / PROCESS
No black boxes, no surprise invoices. You see the work as it happens.
Goal, audience, budget. One call or a long message — both work. We agree on what “done” means before anything starts.
A layout you approve before a line of code is written. Two directions max, so we don’t disappear into options.
Weekly previews on a real URL. Fast, responsive, accessible. You can click it, break it and comment on it.
Domain, hosting, analytics and a handover you can actually follow. You own the accounts and the code.
Fixes, speed, backups and updates. Optional monthly care, never a hostage situation.

If that sounds like your kind of person, send a brief. I reply within a day.
