Web Design Services I Offer

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every business has different goals, audiences, and budgets. Here’s what I specialize in:

WordPress Website Development

WordPress powers a huge portion of the web, and for good reason — it's flexible, easy to manage, and scales well. I build custom WordPress websites from scratch, tailored to your brand identity and business needs. No bloated themes, no unnecessary plugins. Just clean, fast, SEO-friendly sites that you can update yourself. Whether it's a corporate website, a news portal, or a personal portfolio, I've built hundreds of WordPress sites across every industry.

Shopify & Ecommerce Development

If you're selling products online, I can set up your Shopify store from product listings to payment gateways to shipping configuration. I'm an official Shopify Partner, which means I have access to advanced tools and direct support from Shopify's team. I also work with WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento (Adobe Commerce), and Odoo — so if Shopify isn't the right fit, we'll find what is.

Business Website Design

Your website is often the first impression a potential customer gets. I design clean, modern business websites that communicate credibility and make it easy for visitors to take action — whether that's calling you, filling out a contact form, or placing an order. Every business site I build is mobile-responsive, optimized for speed, and structured for search engines.

Website Redesign & Migration

Running an outdated website that looks like it was built in 2015? I handle complete website redesigns — refreshing your design, improving performance, and restructuring content for better SEO. I also manage platform migrations (WooCommerce to Shopify, Drupal to WordPress, and more) without losing your existing search rankings.

Why Businesses Choose Me as Their Web Designer in Kerala

There’s no shortage of web designers in Kerala. So why do clients — many from outside India — keep choosing to work with me? Here’s what I hear most often:

14+ years of experience. I started freelancing in 2011 with a project for IT@School, a Kerala Government initiative. Since then, I’ve built over 1,000 websites. That experience means fewer surprises, faster problem-solving, and better results.

Shopify Partner status. I’m an official Shopify Partner with access to advanced tools, priority support, and Shopify’s partner ecosystem. If you’re building on Shopify, you’re working with someone who knows the platform inside and out.

Real client results. A 4.9-star rating from 44 Google reviews isn’t something you can fake. My clients come back for second and third projects, and they refer their friends. That repeat business tells you more than any sales pitch.

Affordable without cutting corners. Web design packages start from ₹4,000 for basic sites. Business websites run ₹15,000–₹25,000. Ecommerce stores range from ₹35,000–₹80,000. You get transparent pricing upfront — no hidden charges.

Co-founder of Nexlotech. In 2018, I co-founded Nexlotech, a web design and consulting agency in Calicut. For larger projects or tight timelines, I have a trusted team of designers, developers, and content specialists ready to step in.

How I Work — My Web Design Process

I don’t start designing until I understand your business. Here’s my typical process:

Step 1 — Discovery. We talk about your business, your competitors, your target audience, and your goals. I research your industry and identify what your website needs to accomplish. This step is what separates a generic site from one that actually works.

Step 2 — Planning & Wireframing. I map out the site structure, page hierarchy, and user flow. You’ll see a wireframe or layout mockup before any code is written, so we’re aligned on direction early.

Step 3 — Design & Development. I build your site using the right technology for your needs — WordPress, Shopify, Drupal, or custom HTML/CSS. Every site is mobile-responsive, SEO-optimized, and performance-tested.

Step 4 — Review & Revisions. You review the site, suggest changes, and I refine until you’re happy. I don’t charge for reasonable revisions — getting it right matters more than rushing to launch.

Step 5 — Launch & Handover. I handle hosting setup, domain configuration, SSL certificates, business email, and everything needed for a smooth launch. You also get a walkthrough so you can manage basic updates yourself.

Post-launch support is available through affordable maintenance plans — because websites need ongoing care, not a “set it and forget it” approach.

FAQ

Three things set my work apart. First, I’ve been doing this full-time for 14+ years — not as a side gig or a part-time hobby. That experience means I’ve solved problems most designers haven’t encountered yet. Second, I’ve completed 1,000+ projects across 15+ countries, including high-profile work like the University of Calicut SDE website and Revathy Kalamandirr’s official site. Third, I’m a certified Shopify Partner, which gives me access to tools and support that most freelancers in Kerala don’t have.

Yes, and this is something I take very seriously. I handle redesigns by preserving your existing URL structures, setting up proper 301 redirects for any changed URLs, and carrying over your meta titles, descriptions, and heading structures. I also submit the updated sitemap to Google Search Console after launch. The goal is always to improve your design and user experience while protecting — and usually improving — your current search positions.

It depends on what you’re building. WordPress is ideal for business websites, blogs, news portals, portfolios, and service-based companies that need full control over content and design. Shopify is the stronger choice if your primary goal is selling products online — it handles inventory, payments, shipping, and order management out of the box. I work with both platforms daily and can recommend the right fit based on your business model, budget, and long-term plans. I also work with WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, and Drupal when the project calls for it.

A significant portion of my work comes from clients outside Kerala and India. I’ve delivered projects for businesses in the UK, USA, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Denmark, and several countries across Europe and Africa. Communication happens through email, WhatsApp, and video calls — time zones have never been a barrier. Many of my longest client relationships are with businesses based overseas.

I’ve worked across a wide range of industries over 14 years. Some of the sectors I’ve built websites for include education (University of Calicut), film and entertainment (Revathy Kalamandirr), ecommerce and retail (Superstars UK, The Indian Shelf UK), fashion (Elentra Designs), florists (Orbee Flowers, Qatar), healthcare, tourism, real estate, food and restaurants, professional services, and startups. This cross-industry experience means I understand how different audiences behave online and what design patterns work for each sector.
