3.1WEB_DEVELOPMENT

Right tool for the job. Not the one we happen to sell.

WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, custom Next.js, HubSpot CMS — we pick the stack that fits your problem, your team, and your budget. Not the one with the highest margin for us.

Most agencies are a hammer. Every client looks like a nail.

A WordPress shop will sell you WordPress. A Webflow shop will pitch Webflow. A Next.js agency will architect a custom build for a 5-page brochure site that a ₹8k/year theme could have handled. Platform loyalty is a billing model, not advice.

We run five distinct delivery tracks — custom Next.js, CMS-driven (WordPress / Webflow / Sanity), e-commerce (Shopify Plus / WooCommerce / headless), CRM-native (HubSpot CMS / Zoho / GoHighLevel), and web apps + portals. The first thing we do is figure out which one you actually need.

Tool-honest means telling a D2C founder to use Shopify when that is the right call, even though a custom build would bill three times as much. It also means telling a B2B SaaS to stop duct-taping WordPress when they have outgrown it. Both conversations happen here.

  • 01
    Stack-selection workshop
    First engagement is always a structured recommendation — WordPress vs custom vs Shopify vs CRM-native, with reasoning in writing.
  • 02
    Performance budgets baked in
    Every project ships with a defined LCP target (sub-1.5s default). We do not move to launch without hitting it.
  • 03
    On-page SEO as standard
    Semantic HTML, schema markup, canonical tags, sitemap, robots.txt, Core Web Vitals — not an upsell.
  • 04
    India-optimised delivery
    CDN nodes in Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi. Image pipelines tuned for mobile-first India. Regional language support where needed.
  • 05
    Source ownership, always
    You own the code, the repo, the CMS content, and the hosting account. No vendor lock-in by design.
  • 06
    Realistic post-launch contracts
    ₹40k–₹2.5L/month retainers depending on stack and scope. Priced to be sustainable, not to expire at handoff.

Five tracks. Pick the one that fits.

We don't evangelise one stack. Each track is a real discipline with its own tooling, ideal buyer, and pricing envelope.

Custom Web Development

Bespoke Next.js 16 + React 19 builds for when the website IS the product, or when off-the-shelf platforms have become the bottleneck.

// ideal_for

Founders or CTOs who need a design-system-quality site, programmatic SEO at scale, or a front-end that integrates tightly with their own APIs — and where a template or CMS would be a compromise.

CMS Web Development

WordPress, Webflow, Sanity, and Payload CMS builds structured so your marketing team ships copy without a developer in the loop.

// ideal_for

Marketing teams that need to launch campaigns, update content, or publish posts at pace — and where engineering bandwidth is the bottleneck, not design ambition.

E-commerce Development

Shopify Plus, WooCommerce, and headless commerce builds wired for Indian payments (UPI, Razorpay, Cashfree), GST-compliant invoicing, and COD logistics.

// ideal_for

D2C, B2C, or B2B brands going live or replatforming — from a first Shopify store to a custom headless front-end for a catalogue of 10,000+ SKUs.

CRM-Native Web Development

Websites built inside HubSpot CMS, GoHighLevel, or Salesforce Experience Cloud — so every page view is a tracked interaction and every form fill is already a contact.

// ideal_for

B2B companies where pipeline attribution, lead-to-MQL speed, and lifecycle automation matter more than design freedom — and where a WordPress + sync integration has already proven unreliable.

Web Apps & Portals

Customer portals, internal dashboards, B2B SaaS MVPs, and member platforms — anything that needs auth, RBAC, billing, and realtime, not just a marketing page.

// ideal_for

Teams building a product surface (client portal, vendor portal, SaaS MVP) where the success metric is DAU and task completion — not bounce rate.

How it actually runs.

STEP_01 · DISCOVER
Audit the actual need
We map your team, traffic, integrations, content workflow, and budget before recommending anything.
$ discover --audit=team,traffic,integrations,content,budget
STEP_02 · CHOOSE
Stack recommendation
Written recommendation: which track, which tools, why. You keep this even if you do not hire us.
$ recommend --output=stack-brief.md --yours-to-keep=true
STEP_03 · DESIGN
Figma → component system
Desktop + mobile, with a defined type scale, spacing tokens, and component library handed off with the site.
$ design --breakpoints=mobile,tablet,desktop --handoff=components
STEP_04 · BUILD
Milestone-gated delivery
Ship in verifiable chunks — staging URLs after every milestone. No 8-week blackout then a big reveal.
$ build --previews=per-milestone --blackout=false
STEP_05 · HANDOFF
Training + ownership transfer
Your team gets a recorded walkthrough, documentation, and a 30-day support window. Then a priced retainer if you want ongoing cover.
$ handoff --docs=written+video --support=30d --retainer=optional

Where this gets deployed.

You need a marketing site fast
CMS track (WordPress or Webflow) gets you live in 3–4 weeks with a team that can self-serve copy from day one.
You have outgrown your WordPress
Custom track — Next.js 16, edge-cached, programmatic SEO, proper component system. Migration from WP without losing rankings.
You need an e-com store in 6 weeks
E-commerce track — Shopify Plus with Razorpay + UPI + Shiprocket, GST-compliant invoicing, and a CRO loop baked in.
Your CRM should be your CMS
CRM-native track — build directly inside HubSpot or GoHighLevel so every form fill is already a contact, no sync lag.
You need a customer portal or dashboard
Web app track — auth, RBAC, billing, realtime. A marketing site this is not.
Two agencies quoted you two very different stacks
Come to us first. We will tell you which one is right and document the reasoning before a rupee is spent.
You are a D2C brand that needs both a store and a blog
Shopify storefront + headless CMS blog — we run them in parallel and neither compromises the other.
Your current site embarrasses you on mobile
Audit → performance budget → rebuild or reskin. Whichever costs less and fixes the problem.
D2C_WELLNESS

Bengaluru D2C brand needed a Shopify store AND a WordPress blog. Most agencies wanted to lock them into one.

A fast-growing wellness brand had been quoted a single Webflow site that would have crippled their editorial workflow, and a custom build that would have cost ₹18L and taken 5 months. We matched tool to job — Shopify Plus for the storefront (Razorpay + UPI, GST invoicing, Shiprocket), WordPress + Sanity for the high-volume blog. Both live in 7 weeks. The content team publishes 3 posts a week without filing a single ticket.

Frequently asked.

Which stack will you recommend for my project?
It depends on your team, your traffic, your content workflow, and your budget. Our first engagement is always a written stack recommendation — WordPress vs Webflow vs Shopify vs custom Next.js — with reasoning. You keep that document even if you never hire us to build.
How long does a typical web build take?
A CMS-driven marketing site is usually live in 3–4 weeks. An e-commerce build on Shopify Plus is 5–7 weeks. A custom Next.js build runs 6–10 weeks depending on integrations. A customer portal or web app starts at 8–12 weeks.
Do I own the code, content, and hosting?
Yes — every engagement transfers full ownership of the source code, repo, CMS, and hosting account to you at handoff. No vendor lock-in. You can fire us and another agency can pick up the project the next day.
What does ongoing support cost after launch?
Retainers run ₹40k–₹2.5L per month depending on stack and scope. Priced to be sustainable, not to expire the moment you launch. The first 30 days post-launch are included in the build fee.
