Building useful things
for people building
something of their own.
We go through the site ourselves and write down what we find. Free, and yours to keep either way.
Scope and price in writing, before anything starts.
Nothing tells you when it breaks.
A website does not fail the way a shutter or a phone line fails. It keeps loading, it keeps saying thank you, and the month keeps passing.
-
Your visitor sees“Thank you — we’ll be in touch.”
You seeYou never hear about it. The form posts nowhere, and a form that posts nowhere does not return an error to anybody.
-
Your visitor seesA page still loading. They go back to the results and tap the next shop down.
You seeA visit and no enquiry. Which looks exactly like somebody who was never interested.
-
Your visitor seesFour other places before yours, when they search your trade and your town.
You seeA quiet month. And you put it down to the season.
-
Your visitor sees“Pay now”, and a gateway that was never activated.
You seeYou take that one on WhatsApp. And you never learn how many did not bother to ask.
Not one of these announces itself. If a normal month brings you twenty-five enquiries, a fault nobody has looked for is twenty-five conversations a month, for as long as nobody looks.
Eight things that decide whether a site earns its keep.
We check every one of them in the audit. We build every one of them into the work.
-
On a phone
Built for the phone first, not shrunk to fit one.
Most of your visitors arrive on a mid-range Android on mobile data. That is the machine we build for, so they stay long enough to read you.
-
Enquiries
Every way in is tested with a real message.
The form, the WhatsApp link and the email each get a live enquiry sent through them before launch. You find out now instead of in six months.
-
Google
Pages Google can tell apart.
Titles, indexing and a Business Profile pointing at the right place, so somebody searching your trade in your town reaches you and not the next district.
-
Payments
The four policy pages a payment gateway checks for.
Privacy, terms, refunds and takedown, written and live. Razorpay and PayU look for all four before they activate an account, and one missing page holds up the lot.
-
Hosting
Hosted and maintained on our side.
Renewals, certificates and updates stop being something you have to remember, and stop being the reason a site goes dark on a Sunday.
-
One studio
The site, the ads, the software and the AI in one place.
Four services held to one standard, so there is one number to ring instead of three vendors each explaining why it is one of the others.
-
In writing
Scope and price in writing before anything starts.
What is included, what is not, and what a change costs — in a document, so neither of us is working from memory three months in.
-
Ownership
You own all of it.
Domain, code and accounts in your name from the first day. If you ever leave, you leave with the lot and nothing has to be rebuilt.
Four things, one standard.
Each has its own page with what is included, who it suits, and where the price starts. The final cost depends on scope, and you get it in writing.
Five sites, five trades, all of them running.
Open any one of them right here and use it, or read how it was put together.
Nothing to sign.
There is no meeting to book and no brief to write. The whole first step is four things, and three of them are ours.
-
You send one link.
Your web address, and your name so we know who we are writing to. No fifteen-field form, no questionnaire. If WhatsApp is easier, send it on WhatsApp.
-
We go through it ourselves.
By hand, the way a customer would arrive — on a mid-range Android, on mobile data. Not a scanner handing back a score out of a hundred that nobody can act on.
-
You get it in writing.
A report you can download and keep. Forward it to your team, or hand it straight to whoever built the site and have them fix it. It is yours either way, and that is a perfectly good outcome for us.
-
Then you decide. Or you don’t.
If we can help, we say what it would cost, in writing, before anything begins. If there is nothing wrong, we say that instead of inventing something to sell you.
No contract is signed and no card is entered at any point above.
The things people ask first.
Mostly about the audit — because a free offer from a company you have not met is a reasonable thing to be suspicious of.
Is the audit actually free, or is it a sales call?
Free, and it is not a call. You send a web address, we send back a written report. If you want to talk about it afterwards, ring us. If you don’t, you won’t hear from us chasing it.
How long does it take to come back?
It depends on the size of the site, because a person reads it rather than a scanner crawling it. We would rather tell you honestly where yours is when you ask than put a number here that turns out to be wrong for a big site.
Do I have to hire you afterwards?
No. The report is yours to keep and yours to use. Plenty of people take it back to whoever built their site and have them fix what it found, and that is a perfectly good outcome.
What if you don’t find anything wrong?
Then we write that down and send it. We would rather tell you the site is fine than invent a problem in order to sell you the fix for it.
What does a website cost?
From ₹14,999, and the final number depends on what the site has to do. Marketing starts at ₹9,999 a month, AI implementation at ₹34,999 and custom software at ₹59,999. You get the price in writing before any work starts — the four service pages set out what each one includes.
Do you work with businesses outside Thodupuzha?
Yes. We are in Thodupuzha and most of the work happens over email, WhatsApp and calls, so where you are changes very little about how it runs. If you are nearby you are welcome to come in instead.
Who owns the website and the code?
You do. Domain, code and accounts go in your name from the first day, not ours. If you ever move to somebody else you take all of it with you and nothing has to be rebuilt from scratch.
What is Sowthzide Plus?
A separate thing, and not for clients: tools and guides for the people who quote, scope and invoice work like this — freelancers, students and small studios. It is not open yet. Join the waitlist and we will email you the day it opens.
And if you’re the one doing the quoting.
We built a set of tools for our own estimates, invoices and scopes, and we are opening them up: what an hour of your year actually has to be worth, what a project costs to run rather than to win, what an invoice has to carry under GST, how to chase a late payment with the MSMED Act behind you. Thirty-eight tools and seventeen guides, in Sowthzide Plus. It is not open yet.
Send us the address. We will tell you what the site is costing you.
You give us one link. We go through it the way a customer would, on a mid-range Android on mobile data, and write down what we find. It comes back as a file you can download, keep and forward.
- Where enquiries leak. Whether the form actually reaches a human, whether it lands in spam, whether the WhatsApp link opens the right number.
- What it looks like on a real phone. Not a desktop browser made narrow. An actual phone on mobile data, which is how most of your visitors arrive.
- Whether Google can see it. Indexing, titles, and whether your Business Profile points at the right place.
- Whether you would pass a payment gateway. The four policy pages Razorpay and PayU check for before they activate an account.
Yours to keep whether or not you ever hire us. If there is nothing wrong we will say that, instead of inventing something to sell you.
