About
Hi, I'm Nikhil.
I'm a full-stack developer who builds websites, online stores and web applications for small businesses and founders.
I've shipped e-commerce platforms in Laravel and the MERN stack, built an inventory management system, developed Next.js applications, and integrated payments and bookings with Stripe and Calendly — deployed on Vercel and DigitalOcean.
I use AI tools to move faster: they help me write, test and document code in a fraction of the time. That speed is passed on to you as shorter timelines and fairer prices. What AI doesn't replace is accountability — I review every line, test every feature, and I'm the person you talk to from first call to launch.
Hands-on experience
- E-commerce in Laravel and MERN
- Inventory management system
- Next.js web applications
- REST APIs, tested with Postman
- Stripe & Calendly integrations
- PostgreSQL and MongoDB
- Deployments on Vercel & DigitalOcean
FAQ
Questions clients usually ask
Why "Draft48"?
Because you'll see a working first draft of your project within 48 hours of kickoff. It's the quickest way to know we're on the right track, and you can give feedback before anything is final.
Do you use AI to build websites?
Yes. AI helps me write, test and document code faster, which is why I can offer shorter timelines and lower prices. Every feature is still reviewed, tested and deployed by me, and I'm accountable for the result.
How much does a project cost?
See the packages above for starting prices, or use the estimator for a quick range. After a free call you get a fixed quote, so the price never changes unless the scope does.
How long will it take?
Most websites launch in 1–2 weeks. Online stores and custom apps take 3–10 weeks depending on features. You'll see a first preview within 48 hours of starting.
Will I own my website and code?
Yes. The code, domain and hosting accounts are in your name. If you ever want to work with someone else, you can take everything with you.
What do you need from me to get started?
Your logo, any existing content and photos, and a few examples of sites you like. Don't have content yet? I can help write it.
How do payments work?
Usually 50% to start and 50% at launch. Larger projects are split into milestones, so you only pay as work is delivered.
What happens after launch?
You get 30 days of free bug fixes. After that, you can join a monthly care plan or simply reach out when you need changes.
