My Simple 5-Step
Design Process
1. Free Website Review (Call)
We connect for a friendly 30-minute Google Meet. I will look at your current website or app, understand your goals, and suggest immediate areas we can improve.
2. Understanding Your Users
I study your target audience and competitors. By understanding what your Indian or global users actually want, we create a design plan that works smoothly for them.
3. Wireframing & Prototyping
I create clear, beautiful designs using Figma. You will get a working prototype so you can actually click through and feel the product before your team writes any code.
4. User Feedback & Refinement
We test the designs to make sure everything is easy to understand. If any steps are confusing for the user, we fix them right away to ensure a smooth experience.
5. Final Delivery & Support
I hand over everything neatly organized to your developers. Even after launch, I am just a message away to help you measure the results and keep making improvements.

Common QuestionsQuestions You
Questions You
Might Have
Every business has different needs, but generally, startup website or app design projects start at around ₹2.5 Lakhs ($3,000) and can go up depending on how complex the app is. My main focus is to ensure the design pays for itself by bringing you more business. Let's talk, and I can give you a proper estimate!
There is no guesswork involved. Before designing, I study how users are currently interacting with your product. We look at where they are getting stuck and fix those exact areas. By keeping the design simple and testing it properly, we ensure a much better experience for your customers.
Absolutely! While I am happily based in Nagpur, I work remotely with amazing startups all over India (Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi) and internationally (USA, UK, Dubai). Thanks to tools like Google Meet and Figma, collaboration is completely seamless.
For a standard startup website or a primary app module, it usually takes about 3 to 6 weeks. If you have an urgent MVP (Minimum Viable Product) that needs to go live quickly for investors, we can plan a faster 14-day sprint without compromising on quality.
It is a relaxed 30-minute chat where we look at your current website or app together. I will point out 3 to 4 quick improvements you can make right away to improve user experience, completely free of charge. No pressure to hire me!
I mostly use Figma for all UI/UX design and prototyping, as it makes it very easy to share work with your developers. If we need to build the actual website, I work with great partners who use Webflow, WordPress, or React.
Working with a freelance UI/UX designer gives you direct access to senior expertise, faster communication, and more personalized attention. You get high-quality design solutions without the overhead costs and delays often associated with larger agencies.
