I build websites for people, not just clients, want to build you one

Hey! I'm Devansh, from India. I've been building websites for a few years now, mostly for small businesses and founders across the US, UK, UAE and Australia, and honestly it's still the part of my day I look forward to most. There's something satisfying about turning someone's half formed idea into a real site they're proud to send people to.

Lately I've been leaning into AI tools in how I build, which lets me move fast without the final thing looking like generic AI slop. But the thinking, the design calls, the "does this actually make sense for a real user" part, that's still just me sitting with it until it feels right.

I want to take on a few people this month at a price that's honestly more about the work than the money. If you've got a business, a personal brand, or even just an idea you've been sitting on and need a site for it, I'd like to build it for you.

Some real sites I've made, so you're not just taking my word for it:

If you end up liking what I make, we talk price and it's yours to keep. If it's not for you, that's okay too, no pressure either way. Just drop a comment or DM

Using lovable, I vibe coded 25 websites for businesses and emailed them. Zero sales. Here's what I learned.

I saw tons of YouTube videos saying "build websites for businesses, email them the preview, they'll buy it." Seemed legit, so I went all in.

What I did:

The result:

• ⁠ emails sent
• ⁠response (wanted changes, then ghosted after I made them)
• ⁠sales

My background:

• ⁠years UI/UX experience
• ⁠Self-taught coding with AI tools
• ⁠Built a SaaS (AI youtube thumbnails, social media posts and product photoshoots and ADs ) it also Flopped

I'm genuinely confused:

Everyone online says "just build and email them" but it clearly doesn't work. Or maybe I'm doing something fundamentally wrong?

My theory on why it failed:

  1. ⁠Cold emails from Indian developers = instant delete (spam perception)
  2. ⁠They didn't ask for it = feels pushy
  3. ⁠No testimonials = no trust
  4. ⁠Building first = wasted effort when they don't respond

What I do now, idc i will push my all limits:

• ⁠If anyone has idea on my confusions then guide me

My questions for you:

  1. ⁠Has anyone actually succeeded with the "build + email" strategy? Or is it just YouTube BS?
  2. ⁠For those making money as freelance web developers - how did you get your FIRST paying client?
  3. ⁠Is there anyway to get consistent clients?

I can hustle. I can build quality work fast. But I'm clearly missing something about client acquisition.

What would you do in my situation?

From freelance UX designer to running a $20K/month department alone, to being underpaid, to freelancing again — my full story (and why I'm looking for a full-time role)

TL;DR: Freelanced UX for 4 years -> hired FT by an agency -> pitched an AI dev workflow that boosted department revenue from $7k to $20k+/mo -> ended up running the entire build pipeline solo for $2,500/mo -> asked for fair pay -> got gaslit and micro-managed -> quit -> built enterprise SaaS freelancing -> tired of the lead-gen grind -> looking for a solid full-time remote role.

Hey everyone,

I need to put this out here because I got burnt hard by an agency recently, and I'm guessing plenty of you have been through this exact freelance-to-agency trap.

How I got pulled in I started freelancing as a UX/web designer in 2021, working with overseas marketing and dev agencies. Around year four, one agency brought me on full-time. Good package, real title. Their marketing side was solid, and web dev was a side engine making around $7k-$8k a month. I was brought in to lead the design side of that engine.

The mistake: Pitching a workflow that worked too well A few months in, I pitched the CEO an AI-first development workflow using tools like Google Antigravity to speed up shipping and cut out the manual Figma-to-code grind. We tested it on a few clients and it blew expectations out of the water.

The CEO's response? Fire the WordPress/VA team immediately, scrap Figma-first design entirely, and hand the entire operational pipeline to me. I was suddenly handling client requirements, prompting, full builds, deployment, and feedback calls. Everything. Solo.

Department revenue jumped from $7k to over $20k a month. My pay stayed flat at $2,500/month.

Asking for fair pay (and getting gaslit) When I finally sat down with the CEO to ask for compensation that matched running a $20k/month department alone, his entire attitude shifted. Suddenly, clients were supposedly "having issues," my designs weren't "up to standard," and I got hit with intense micro-management. It was blatant gaslighting to crush my leverage so I wouldn't ask for money again.

I quit shortly after. They had one of their most profitable quarters ever, and I walked away making junior money for senior ops work.

Where I'm at now I went back to freelancing and built two enterprise-grade SaaS/CRM platforms for US clients. The work is solid and my portfolio is real, but fighting for a consistent client pipeline without a dedicated sales channel is exhausting.

I'm looking to jump back into a full-time remote role (I'm based in India, happy to work US/EU hours). Ideally with a dev, product, or marketing agency that needs someone who can own an entire project end-to-end—from design logic to full website/SaaS/CRM builds.

If your team needs someone who actually ships real products without needing a hand held, let's connect. I can share live project links and walk you through the SaaS/CRM builds directly.

Appreciate you reading. Don't give away your best leverage to employers who treat your efficiency as an excuse to exploit you.

Designing a website for a client, what you guys think about the design draft I created

Here is the design, let me know what you guys think about the custom graphics, layout and overall design

It was a website homepage and about page design for a corporate gifting company

u/NoGround511 — 2 months ago

Using Figma, I Designed 25 website homepages for businesses and emailed them. Zero sales. Here's what I learned.

I saw tons of YouTube videos saying "build websites for businesses, email them the preview, they'll buy it." Seemed legit, so I went all in.

Now, i do not want to generate the AI slop using claude or lovable, so I designed the master template in figma and customized it for different businesses

What I did:

  • Found 25 UK roofers/driveway companies with terrible websites
  • Spent 2 weeks designing homepage in figma for each
  • Sent personalized emails: "I rebuilt your site, here's the preview, £200 if you want it"
  • Followed up 2-3 times each

The result:

  • 25 emails sent
  • 1 response (wanted changes, then ghosted after I made them)
  • 0 sales
  • £0 revenue

My background:

5 years UI/UX experience

Self-taught coding with AI tools

Can build + design full websites solo in 24 hours

Built a 450-page manufacturing site for a manufacturing company

Built a SaaS (AI youtube thumbnails, social media posts and product photoshoots and ADs ) it also Flopped

Tried Upwork/Fiverr (race to bottom, lots of developers do it for $30)

I have real work in my portfolio to show, but I am not getting consistent clients every month

I'm genuinely confused:

Everyone online says "just build and email them" but it clearly doesn't work. Or maybe I'm doing something fundamentally wrong?

My theory on why it failed:

  • Cold emails from Indian developers = instant delete (spam perception)
  • They didn't ask for it = feels pushy
  • £200 too cheap = looks suspicious
  • No testimonials = no trust
  • Building first = wasted effort when they don't respond

What I do now, idc i will push my all limits:

  • If anyone has idea on my confusions then guide me

My questions for you:

  1. Has anyone actually succeeded with the "build + email" strategy? Or is it just YouTube BS, now in youtube guys where just building generic lovable slop, my figma designs have real quality
  2. For those making money as freelance web developers - how did you get your FIRST paying client?
  3. Should I even try to compete with $50 Fiverr developers? Or pivot entirely?
  4. Is there anyway to get consistent clients?

I can hustle. I can build quality work fast. But I'm clearly missing something about client acquisition.

What would you do in my situation?

How much do you charge for this project?

A client came to me with a racing simulator lounge in Oregon and one clear ask: "I don't want just a website. I want a full platform my business actually runs on."

So we built exactly that.

Here's a full breakdown of what went into kartcade.com — designed in Figma, built custom in React using Antigravity, and packed with more behind-the-scenes logic than most people would ever guess from the front end.

The Website

The moment you land on the homepage, you know what kind of place this is. It's dark, fast, and cinematic — built to match the energy of 10 state-of-the-art racing and flight simulators sitting in a lounge in West Linn, Oregon.

Here's every page and what it does:

/ — Homepage The first impression. Clean hero section, quick intro to the brand, and a flow that pushes visitors toward booking without being pushy about it.

/ experiences A deep dive into what Kartcade actually offers — sim racing, drifting, flight sim, and more. Built so first-timers understand what they're getting into, and enthusiasts can geek out on the details.

/ equipment Showcases the hardware in the lounge. Because when someone's dropping money on a session, they want to know what they're sitting in.

/ pricing Crystal clear. No confusion, no hidden costs. Just clean tier breakdowns so visitors can make a decision before they even pick up the phone.

/ events Corporate bookings, birthday parties, group sessions — this page handles all of it. Built to convert group inquiries and make the venue look like the obvious choice for any occasion.

/ gallery The visual proof. Real photos from the lounge that do the selling without saying a word.

/ leaderboard This one's my favorite page on the entire site. Live, public leaderboard showing the top drivers by lap time. Not just a cool visual — it's a retention mechanic. Regulars check this. They come back to beat it. It creates a community around the venue without Kartcade having to do anything extra.

/ book The booking engine. And this is where the real engineering starts.

The Booking System

Both online and offline bookings are supported. Staff can take walk-ins and log them directly from the admin side. Online customers book themselves through the site. Both flows sync into the same system.

When a booking is confirmed, an automated email invoice goes out immediately. When a booking is canceled, the system automatically refunds the credits back to the customer's account. No manual work, no human error, no customer waiting around for someone to process their refund.

Party Bookings (This One's Clever)

Party sessions have a 1 host + up to 15 guests structure.

Here's how it works: the host books and pays. They get a unique invite link. They share that link with their friends. Each friend clicks it, fills in their details, and gets automatically registered as a guest under that party booking. No back-and-forth with staff. No spreadsheets. No "can you add my friend" messages at the door.

Everyone shows up. Everyone's already in the system. The session runs clean.

Driver Profiles

Every customer has a personal driver profile. Tracks their sessions, history, and credits. The leaderboard pulls from this. The awards system feeds into this. It makes every person who walks through the door feel like a member, not just a transaction.

The CRM and Admin Panel

This is the backbone the client never has to think about, but couldn't run without.

The full CRM monitors all players — who's visited, how many sessions, what they've spent, their profile history. The owner has visibility into every customer at a glance.

Revenue tracking is built in. Sessions, parties, memberships — it all flows into one dashboard so the business knows exactly where it stands financially without digging through anything.

And the automated awards system gives credit points to top performers. No manual grading. The system watches, ranks, and rewards — which keeps regulars engaged and gives new visitors something to chase.

Stack and Approach

Designed in Figma from the ground up — every page, every component, every state. Built in React using Antigravity as the framework, with Firebase on the backend handling auth, database, and real-time data. Stripe for payments. Google Apps Script handling some of the email automation. Everything custom coded, nothing off the shelf.

This is what separates a proper web platform from a website that just looks nice. The client doesn't need to hire five different tools and stitch them together. It's all one cohesive system.

If you're running a venue, lounge, entertainment space, or any experience-based business and you want something like this — a site that looks great AND actually runs your operations — this is what we build at GraphiKrafts.

DM me or drop a comment. Happy to walk you through what's possible.

I just closed a $4,000 project (my biggest win yet). Here is the exact AI CRM + Portal system I built to earn it. Tools used, Lovable + Claude + manual UX and finishing

Hey everyone,

I’m writing this because I recently hit a major personal milestone in my development journey—landing and completing a $4,000 contract, which is officially my highest-valued project to date.

The client was a US-based real estate agent who specializes in first-time home buyers. When we first connected, she was completely drowning under the administrative side of her business. If you know any realtors, you know the drill: they spend 80% of their week chasing down clients for pre-approval letters, dealing with messy, lost email attachments, manually qualifying leads, and doing constant back-and-forth follow-ups just to see if a buyer is serious.

She hired me to build an end-to-end automation engine to solve this friction. I wanted to break down the exact blueprint of how the system works, the logic behind it, and how it’s handling her pipeline now.

The first bottleneck we tackled was the intake. Instead of her manually answering basic questions or sending out repetitive Google Forms, we deployed a custom AI assistant on her site. This acts as a 24/7 gatekeeper. It text-interviews incoming prospective buyers, asks the necessary qualifying questions, gathers their budget preferences, and automatically provisions a profile background for them.

Once the buyer passes that initial qualification, the system automatically spins up access to a private, secure Home Buyer Portal. This is where the magic really happens for her. Right from their phones, the buyers can securely upload their pre-approval documents, proof of funds, and IDs. It completely eliminates the classic "did you get my email?" or text-thread chaos.

Behind the scenes, everything is connected via webhooks. The second a buyer uploads a document or updates a preference inside their portal, it triggers real-time alerts. The realtor gets a notification instantly, and the client’s profile updates dynamically inside a central CRM database.

The shift in her daily operations has been massive. Before this, she was losing hours every day to data entry and document chasing. Now, her entire intake funnel runs on autopilot. She literally just opens her dashboard, reviews the verified documents the buyer uploaded, confirms the automated showing time, and goes to show the house.

By removing that operational friction, she’s scaling up to handle nearly three times her usual volume of active buyers without hitting a burnout wall. As a developer, there is nothing better than watching code actually buy back someone’s time and sanity.

If anyone is working on similar real estate automations, CRM integrations, or client portals, I'm happy to dive deeper into the tech stack, the logic, or how the data routing handles the heavy lifting. Let me know if you have any questions!

Now my idea is to build a SaaS but i thing this is gonna be very expensive and i need to spend my time on developing and marketing hard to get paid users so I am quite confused between sale this as a product or develop a SaaS, and if i develop SaaS and spend huge amount and if I can't make profit then there it takes months to recover

I automated a bilingual real estate workflow and now I’m terrified of the pivot

I recently finished a project that reminded me how many "efficient" businesses are actually just held together by duct tape and manual labor. My client is a realtor in the US serving the Latino community, which means everything she does is bilingual. The leads, the paperwork, and the constant 11 PM messages asking if she got a form were completely draining her. Her problem wasn't a lack of interest, it was that every single lead turned into a 30+ message chain of chasing pre-approvals and scheduling showings. She was the bottleneck in her own business, and if she didn't reply within ten minutes, the deal usually died.

To fix this, I built a system that automates the most exhausting parts of her day. It starts with a bilingual AI assistant that qualifies leads on her site so she stops wasting time on window shoppers. From there, clients get moved into a buyer portal with a 6-step checklist where they can upload pre-approvals and pick showing times in one spot. On her end, she has a dashboard where she can see a complete file and approve a showing with one click, which updates the client's portal automatically. The "30-message-per-lead" chaos basically turned into an asynchronous workflow where the buyers feel guided and she actually has time to sell houses.

The logic here isn't unique to bilingual realtors, and that is where I am stuck. Every agent has this manual back-and-forth nightmare, and I have been toying with the idea of turning this into a SaaS. The market is massive since there are over 1.5 million licensed realtors in the US alone. However, SaaS is a completely different beast than agency work. Agency projects are high-margin and custom, while SaaS can quickly become a support and churn nightmare. My plan for now is to keep selling this as a custom high-ticket build to validate it further before writing a single line of SaaS code.

For those of you who have made the jump from agency work to SaaS, I am curious how you knew the product was ready to be genericized. Did you keep the agency running to fund the development, or did you just burn the ships and go all in? I am also wondering if the realtor market is actually as churn-heavy as people say, or if that is just what happens when you don't solve a deep enough pain point.

Need reliable AU (+61) Mobile Number for business from India (Calling + 2-Way SMS)

Hi everyone,

I am a freelancer based in India working with Australian clients. Currently, I’m paying a commission to a partner in AU to handle my calls, but I want to take over the communication myself to save costs. My deals are worth ~$300 each, so I cannot afford dropped calls or technical issues.

My Requirements:

  1. Real +61 4 (Mobile) Number: It must be a mobile number because my clients only use standard Calls and SMS (no WhatsApp).
  2. Two-Way SMS: I need to receive and reply to texts from their mobile phones.
  3. High Call Quality: I have a stable Fiber connection (300mbps) in India, but I need a provider with low latency to Australia.
  4. No GST/AU Residency: I do not have an Australian address or an Indian GST number. I am an individual, but I have a valid Indian Passport for KYC.

What I’ve checked so far:

  • Skype: Won't work (retiring/no AU SMS).
  • Zoom/CallHippo: Seems to require business registration/GST in India.
  • KrispCall: Seeing terrible reviews about payments getting stuck.
  • Crazytel: Seems to require a physical presence in Australia for signup.

Questions for the community:

  1. Which provider is actually reliable for a solo freelancer in India to get a verified AU mobile number?
  2. Has anyone successfully used Zadarma or Sonetel for high-stakes business calls?
  3. Any tips on which "Softphone" app is most stable for international VoIP to Australia?

I was working at a performance marketing company as a developer and designer. Decent job, stable income, but I hated it. So I started experimenting on the side with two ideas before making any moves.

First idea was an AI tool that generates product photoshoots and thumbnails. Felt like the smart bet. AI was everywhere, seemed scalable, seemed like the future.

Second idea was just building simple business websites at a fixed price, delivered in 7 days. No complex tech stack. I used wireframes and AI tools to speed up the build. Nothing revolutionary. Honestly felt almost embarrassing to call it a “startup idea.”

I quit my job without knowing which one would work. Went all in on both.

The AI tool died quietly. No traction, no real differentiation, nobody cared enough to pay.

The website thing started picking up. Slowly at first, then faster than I expected.

Here is the part I think actually made it work: I built a simple form where business owners fill in their details, I build them a free preview of their homepage, and they only pay if they like what they see. No upfront risk for them. That one thing removed the biggest objection most small businesses have when hiring someone they do not know.

Now I am making more per month than my old annual salary. I am based in India so before anyone does the math assuming crazy numbers, the comparison is against Indian tech salaries, not Western ones. But the gap is still real and it still feels surreal.

The lesson is not just “take risks” or “just start.” It is that the idea that felt too simple, too obvious, too unsexy was the one that actually had demand behind it. I was so focused on building something that felt impressive that I almost ignored the thing that people actually needed.

If you are sitting on an idea right now that feels too basic to work, that instinct might be worth questioning.

I wrote this post cuz I just want to share this to someone I've nobody to talk to

I'll build the website. You bring the client. We split $400 50/50. (Serious inquiries only)

I run a web development agency and we've delivered websites for local businesses across the US, Australia, UK, and Africa.

I'm opening up a small number of commission partnership spots for people who have connections with local businesses in the US.

Here's exactly how it works:

The offer you pitch is simple — a 4-page professional website (Home, About, Services, Contact) with a modern design, mobile responsive, high-converting layout, contact form, and CTA sections built to get the business more phone calls. Nothing bloated. No ecommerce. No logins. Just clean, fast, and built to convert.

Before any client pays a single dollar, we show them a full homepage preview for free. They see exactly what they're getting before committing. This alone closes 3 out of 4 clients who see it, consistently, across multiple markets.

Price to client: $400 flat. Your cut: $200 per closed client. My cut: $200.

You don't build anything. You don't deal with revisions. You just connect me with a business owner who needs a website, I handle everything from preview to delivery, and you get paid when they do.

We can fulfil up to 25 websites per month so if you're consistent, this is real recurring income.

Who this is for: Freelancers, marketers, consultants, or anyone who already talks to small business owners and wants a clean upsell they don't have to deliver themselves.

Who this is NOT for: People who will "try it and see." If you're not confident you can bring at least one client in the first two weeks, don't apply.

Drop a comment or DM me if you're interested. I'll ask you a couple of quick questions to make sure it's a fit on both sides.
