A quick hello in my own voice before we go further.

Hi, this is Karthik Sethuraman. I bring two decades in communication design, but not the kind that just looks pretty. I stepped away from my Creative Director role to focus on one mission: building websites that act as high-performance digital showrooms and convert. No templates; no shortcuts; Hand-coded, performance-driven. If you want a site that works, not one that just exists, I deliver.
1/14Reliability: "Agencies usually overpromise and vanish."
Not here. You get a locked price and a fixed timeline. No surprises, ever.
2/14Brand Perception: "My site looks small-time to big clients."
I build a "Digital Showroom" that proves your scale. You'll look ready for the big contracts.
3/14Security: "I worry about the security of my designs."
I use enterprise-grade, hand-coded security. Your intellectual property is locked down.
4/14ROI: "I need to see a return on this investment."
I build for conversion, not just looks. We turn your visitors directly into revenue.
5/14Time Management: "I don't have time to manage a tech project."
You won't have to. I handle the build start-to-finish. You just give final approval.
6/14Future Updates: "What if I need to update content later?"
Pick WordPress for easy self-editing, or let me handle it with a simple maintenance pack.
7/14Communication: "I get confused by technical jargon."
I speak plain English and Tamil. No confusing tech-speak, just clear choices.
8/14Visibility: "My customers need to find me easily."
Your site comes with On-Page SEO built in. You'll be ready to rank on Google.
9/14Speed & Performance: "Customers leave because my current site loads slowly."
Speed is money. I build lightweight sites that aim for 0.3s load times. No one waits.
10/14Mobile Experience: "My site looks broken or tiny on mobile phones."
I design "Mobile-First." Your site will look and work perfectly on every device, guaranteed.
11/14Ownership & Control: "I'm scared of being locked out of my own website."
You get 100% ownership. I hand over all code, logins, and assets. You are the boss.
12/14Content Creation: "I don't know what to write on the pages."
Don't stress. My package includes all written content and images. I write clear, persuasive copy for you.
13/14Uniqueness: "I don't want a generic site that looks like a template."
I don't use cookie-cutter templates. I custom-design every pixel to match your specific brand.
14/14After-Support: "What happens if something breaks next month?"
I don't vanish. You get a 30-day free support window to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Two Paths.
Hand-coded: Lean. Secure. Built to scale. On-page SEO + conversion design. The strongest choice for trust and performance.
WordPress: Fast to launch, cost-effective, good for a solid start.
Both deliver. The difference? Practical versus powerful.
1. What makes you different from cheaper alternatives?
With 20 years of experience, I don't build brochures, I build online growth engines. The result is a faster, higher-ranking website that is specifically designed to effectively convert visitors into paying clients.
2. Which are you skilled in: Hand-coded or WordPress development?
Expert in both hand-coded and WordPress development. My recommendation depends on your needs:
Hand-coded: Ideal for smaller websites (up to 8 unique pages). It provides superior speed and security.
WordPress: Recommended for larger websites, as it offers easier management and future scalability.
3. Can you balance great design with strong SEO?
Absolutely. My two decades in web design include deep expertise in Search Engine Optimization (SEO). I build a powerful semantic structure & utilize natural, context-rich language (not just simple keywords) to ensure lasting search performance and high rankings.
4. How many design options and revisions do you provide?
You will receive one strategically crafted, high-conversion design. This initial design includes two full rounds of refinements to ensure every detail is perfected to your satisfaction.
5. How long do you take to build a website?
The exact delivery timeline is shown in your real-time estimate. Once you approve the scope, the date is guaranteed.
6. How do you ensure quality of your work?
I ensure the highest quality by dedicating my entire focus to one project at a time. I never accept more than one website project simultaneously. This commitment guarantees your project receives my full attention, care, and quality assurance.
7. Can we meet in person to discuss the project?
Yes, for committed clients. I'm available for in-person meetings anywhere within Tamil Nadu after the advance is secured.

From first call to launch, the path is simple:
Estimate & Align
Estimate: You see the cost upfront. No hidden lines.
Call: One short call to align scope.
Direct Meeting (Optional): For Tamil Nadu clients after advance payment.
Create & Refine
Assets: You send logo, profile, or a rough draft.
Layout: I prepare one strong layout. Two revisions included.
Build & Launch
Build: Approved layout becomes a fully coded site.
Launch: Delivered on the guaranteed date. No excuses.
1. Why do you only showcase a few projects?
I deliberately keep my portfolio curated. Rather than overwhelming you with countless brands, I focus on demonstrating the strategic thinking and process behind my work. My priority is to show you how I can solve your specific problem, not just display a gallery of past work.
2. Why are there no live links to your past projects?
My focus is on demonstrating my process and your future results, not sending traffic to past clients. I provide comprehensive case studies that show the work better than a live link can.
3. What do you need from me to get started?
Your logo and a short profile. Even a rough draft works. From there, I handle the rest.
4. Can I request multiple design samples or wireframes?
I provide one strategically designed wireframe, focused entirely on maximizing client conversion. My process prioritizes delivering high-performance results quickly, using two detailed revision rounds instead of multiple, distracting design samples.
5. Do you provide a business email address (e.g., name@yourdomain.com)?
Business email setup is typically not included in the core website build or initial estimate (which excludes domain/hosting). However, I can easily integrate professional email accounts through your chosen hosting provider during the setup process.

Let’s turn your vision into a website that works, earns, and lasts.

Receiving the advance payment.

Finalizing the project details (pages and functionalities).
Completing the initial direct meeting.
5. What's the difference between Hand-Coded and WordPress?
Hand-Coded: Superior Performance: Faster, more secure, and completely custom-built. Recommended for small sites (up to 8 pages).
WordPress: Cost-Effective & Control: More budget-friendly and provides easy self-control to edit content (text/images) later. Recommended for larger, scalable projects.
6. What counts as a "unique page"?
A unique page is one with a completely distinct layout and design structure (e.g., your Home, About, or Contact page). If you add multiple service pages using the same visual template—even if the content is different—those are considered "clones"
7. What isn't included in the Maintenance Pack?
The Maintenance Pack covers routine updates and minor fixes only.
It explicitly excludes large scope changes, such as:
Adding new pages.
Changing the overall design or theme.
Major layout redesigns.
8. What if I want to add a new page in future?
Your website is built for future growth and scalability. When you are ready to expand, I offer transparent and straightforward pricing for adding new pages quickly and seamlessly.
9. Why isn't domain and hosting included?
This gives you full ownership and control of your assets from day one. I can provide recommendations, but you hold the accounts.
10. What does the 50% advance cover?
The 50% advance officially reserves your dedicated project timeline and immediately initiates the strategic design and planning work. The remaining balance is only due when you are completely satisfied and ready for the final website launch.
