What I build

Three ways I can help.

No templates, no agency overhead. You work directly with the person designing and writing the code.

Website revamp

A complete new site: designed around your brand, your content moved over, fast on every phone, and easy for you to edit.

In plain English: like a full renovation, but done in two weeks and you keep the keys.
→ Built with Next.js and React, the same tools big sites use→ Self-hostable CMS, generated from your content model→ Measured speed: 98–99 desktop, 85–91 mobile on builds shipped so far

Payments

Take payments, memberships or deposits right on your site, with receipts and billing handled for you.

In plain English: customers pay you on your website, and it just works.
→ Checkout & subscriptions→ Customer billing portal→ Products managed in your CMS

Site Tune-Up

Not ready to rebuild? A fixed speed and SEO pass on the site you already have, whether it's Squarespace, Wix, WordPress or custom.

In plain English: your current site, made fast and findable, for $750.
→ On-page SEO & schema→ Speed & Core Web Vitals fixes→ Credits toward a revamp within 60 days

How it works

Two weeks, four clear stages.

Day 1–2

Kickoff

We lock scope, content, and references. You get a Figma-free plan and a fixed price.

Day 3–6

Design

Pages designed in-browser on your real content, reviewed live, not in static mockups.

Day 7–12

Build

Production Next.js build with your CMS wired up. You watch it come together on a staging URL.

Day 13–14

Ship

Final polish, launch, and a handoff walkthrough so your team can edit it without me.

“What do you need from me?” one kickoff call, two review passes, and your content. That’s the whole ask.Start day one →
Who you’re hiring
Kush Zingade, founder of Hesperos

One person, start to finish.

I don’t have a resume full of years to point to, and I won’t pretend otherwise. What I have is real, shipped work: a festival site and a teaching platform, both live and built end to end, a fixed launch date I actually hit, and a habit of telling you on day one if something won’t work, instead of letting you find out at the deadline.

There’s no account manager and no handoff between the person who talks to you and the person who builds the thing. That’s me, both times, so decisions happen in a conversation, not a ticket queue, and nothing gets lost in translation along the way.

The new site is intuitive, modern, and professional; it finally reflects the ambition of the event itself. A website that doesn’t just inform, it inspires confidence and excitement.

Questions

Everything people ask before hiring me.

You're early in your career. Can you actually deliver this?+
Fair question, and I won't oversell it: I'm an undergraduate, not a studio with a decade behind it. What I'd point at instead is delivered work. Two sites, both live, both built end to end by me, both shipped in two weeks: a Paris film festival rebuilt off Google Sites, and a subscription teaching platform with Stripe billing and role-based access. The before/after Lighthouse numbers for both are on this site, and you can visit the live sites yourself. If that isn't enough evidence for the size of the decision, hiring an established studio is the reasonable call and I'd rather say so now than after you've paid a deposit.
What happens if you're unavailable, or you stop doing this?+
You own the code, the content, and the CMS outright. Nothing is locked to my hosting or my accounts, and the handoff at launch includes a walkthrough plus the deploy path written down. That means any developer can pick it up without me, which is the actual answer to the risk of hiring one person. It's also why I don't gate anything behind a retainer: a Care plan is convenience, not a dependency.
Can I really update the site myself?+
Yes. Every build ships with a self-editable CMS you own outright, so day-to-day content changes (text, images, pages) don't need a developer.
What does it cost, all-in?+
Launch is $2,500 and Studio is $4,500, fixed prices for a fixed scope, no hourly surprises. Bigger custom projects get a written quote. If you're not ready for a rebuild, a $750 Site Tune-Up fixes speed and SEO on your current site, and it credits in full toward a revamp if you go ahead within 60 days. Payments and AI are capability add-ons on top of any tier: payments is $750 for one-time checkout or from $3,000 (quoted) for recurring subscriptions, and AI starts from $1,000. Every build includes 3 months of hosting; after that a Care plan (from $39/mo) is optional. Launch covers up to 6 pages and Studio up to 12, with extra pages at $250 each. A page is one distinct page of the site, like Home, About or Services; things you add yourself in the CMS, like blog posts, don't count. After the 3 included months, hosting is $39/mo with me, or I hand the site over to a hosting account of your own. Payment is 50% up front and 50% once you approve the finished site on staging, before it goes live. If I haven't heard back within 7 days of sending you the finished site, it counts as approved and the final 50% is due. The deposit isn't refundable once work has started.
What do you need from me?+
Mainly your content (logo, copy, photos if you have them) and timely feedback at each check-in. If something's missing, I can help fill the gap.
What happens if it takes longer than 2 weeks?+
The two weeks start once I have your deposit and your content: logo, text and photos. At each check-in I'll need your feedback within 2 business days; if it takes longer, the launch date moves by the same number of days. If a delay is on my side, I'll tell you as soon as I know. A request that expands the scope is quoted as a separate add-on rather than quietly stretching the build.
Do I own everything at the end?+
Yes. The code, the content, and the CMS are yours outright. Nothing is rented or locked to my hosting.
What about my Google rankings?+
Every build ships with strong technical SEO fundamentals (clean markup, fast load times, structured data), which gives search engines every reason to rank you well. I won't promise a specific ranking or timeline, since that also depends on your market and content.
My site is on Wix / Squarespace / WordPress. Can you work with that?+
Yes. Migrating your existing content off Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, or Google Sites is part of every revamp, so nothing gets lost in the move.
What if I need changes after launch?+
For 14 days after launch, fixes are free. That covers two things: anything I built that doesn't work as we agreed, and up to 2 hours of small adjustments to pages that already exist, like rewording text, swapping an image, or tightening spacing. It doesn't cover new pages, new sections, new features or integrations, or redesigning something you already approved; those are quoted separately before any work starts. Requests need to arrive within those 14 days, and changes you make yourself in the CMS aren't covered. Content changes you can always make yourself in the CMS, and a Care plan covers ongoing help.
Can I switch tiers after I've already booked?+
Yes. Pay the difference between tiers and the timeline holds, unless the added scope genuinely needs more days, in which case I'll tell you upfront before doing the work, not after.
How many rounds of design revisions are included?+
Two rounds of feedback on the design are included in every tier. A round is one combined list of changes, sent together. Further rounds are billed separately, because a fixed price can't include unlimited iteration.
