How do payments work?

40-40-20: forty per cent when you sign, forty when the design is approved, twenty at launch. Invoices are net 14. There is no GST on top: he is a small supplier, so it is not charged.

How long does a build take?

The launch date is agreed and written into the agreement before you sign. The estimator asks when you need it (as soon as possible, within a month, two to three months, or flexible) and the schedule is built from your answer.

What do you need from me to start?

After the estimate, a short questionnaire sets the goals, the must-haves, and the details for the agreement. That is enough to start; content and logins can follow while the build is under way.

How many revisions are included?

Two rounds of revisions are in the standard agreement. Every build also carries a 30-day warranty for defects after launch.

Who hosts the site afterwards?

Your call. Self-hosting costs nothing extra. Managed hosting is $25 a month, or $99 a month with the care plan, and monthly services can be cancelled on 30 days' notice.

Why is the price below an agency's?

One person scopes, builds, and launches the site: no account managers, no handoffs, no agency overhead. The build price is set at 45% of market, and the quote is fixed at signing.

What Raghav actually does

Web builds

Full sites for small business clients: design, build, hosting, the lot. His estimator quotes a project in about a minute, at 45% of typical market rates, and every quote lands in his own CRM. No agency, no handoffs, you talk to the person writing the code.

Security operations

Corporate security site supervisor work, plus a home lab that runs real attacks against real tooling: Wazuh, Splunk, Hydra brute force, lateral movement tests, then a written incident report for every run. Triage, documentation, and follow-through are the job, not the side quest.

Note: the log above is not a tutorial screenshot.
Every alert in it came from an attack he ran himself.

How a build runs

STEP 01 / 03

Scope and fixed quote

The estimator sets the range, a short questionnaire pins the scope, and the quote is fixed when you sign. The number in the agreement is the number you pay.

STEP 02 / 03

Build, on the 40-40-20 split

40% at signing, 40% when the design is approved. You watch the build happen in your client portal instead of waiting for a reveal at the end.

STEP 03 / 03

Launch and handover

The final 40% lands at launch, the site goes live on your domain, and a 30-day warranty covers defects from day one.

Questions, answered straight

His price is 45% of the typical market quote for the same scope. Run the estimator and you get a real range in about a minute; the exact figure is then fixed in the agreement before any money moves.
