Web developer in Bali for small businesses and founders

I build websites for small businesses: villas, cafes, studios, and product brands here in Bali, plus founders and small teams working remotely.

You do not need to know what Next.js is. You need a site that loads fast, says the right thing, and brings you enquiries. That is the part I handle.

What I build

Marketing site

from $800

This is the one most people come for. You have a business, you need a site that loads fast, reads well on a phone, and turns a visitor into an enquiry.

I write the structure with you, design it, then build it. Next.js if speed and search matter most, WordPress if you would rather log in and change the copy yourself without calling me. Either way you get the pages, the forms, and the basic SEO setup done properly the first time.

Shopify storefront

from $1,500

If you sell physical products, Shopify handles the boring parts: payments, stock, shipping, taxes. What it does not do is make your store look like anyone in particular.

I set up the store and customise the theme so it matches your brand, not the demo. That covers product pages, collections, cart, and checkout styling. If you already have a store and it just looks generic, I can work on the existing theme instead of starting over.

Rebuild or migration

from $1,200

Old sites get slow and awkward. Plugins pile up, the theme stops being supported, and every small change turns into a job.

I move the content across, keep the URLs and redirects intact so you do not lose the traffic you already earn, and rebuild the front end on something current. The usual routes are WordPress to Next.js and a stock Shopify theme to a headless setup, but the principle is the same: same content, faster site, easier to change.

Based in Bali? Local projects get scoped and quoted in rupiah, and they usually land below the figures above. Ask me and I will give you a straight number.

Who I work with

Half my work is for businesses here on the island, half is remote. If you are local, these are the sectors I know best.

How it works

  1. CallThirty minutes. You tell me what you sell and who buys it, I tell you what it costs and how long it takes.
  2. DesignI send you the layout before any code exists. You change what you want while changing it is cheap.
  3. BuildI build it and you watch it happen on a preview link, not in a status email.
  4. LaunchIt goes live, you own it, and I show you how to edit the parts you will want to edit.

Most sites go live in under two weeks from the first call. Bigger builds take longer, and I will tell you that before you pay anything.

A couple of examples

One Line Solutions

Wordpress
The problem
A Bali cargo and shipping company with a wide range of services, air freight, sea freight, door to door, warehousing, cross trade, and no clear way for a potential client to work out which one they needed.
What I built
A WordPress site structured around the services rather than the company history, with each service on its own page so it can be found and linked directly. Search setup handled at the same time as the build, not bolted on later.
Where it landed
Each service now has a page that can rank and be sent to a client on its own, and the team can add or edit services without a developer.

Vāyu

Shopify
The problem
A new hair care brand launching into a crowded market, with no store and a brand identity that a stock Shopify theme would have flattened.
What I built
Their first Shopify store, with the theme customised around the brand: product pages that explain the problem each product solves, and a checkout flow kept short.
Where it landed
They launched with a store that looks like their brand rather than a template, and can add products themselves as the range grows.

Questions I get asked

What does a site cost?

It depends on how many pages you need and whether you are selling online. I give you a fixed number after the first call, before you commit to anything, so you are never billed for a surprise.

How long does it take?

Most sites go live in under two weeks from the first call. A store with a lot of products, or a build that needs custom functionality, takes longer. I will say so upfront rather than promise two days and disappear.

More on spotting unrealistic timelines
Can you work with me if I am not in Bali?

Yes. About half my clients are elsewhere. We do a call to start, then most of it runs over email and a shared preview link, so the time difference rarely matters.

What happens after launch?

You can take it from there, or keep me on for updates, backups, and fixes. I will show you how to edit the content either way. There is no lock-in and no monthly fee you did not agree to.

Who owns the code and the site?

You do. The domain, the hosting account, the code, and the content are all in your name. If you want to move to another developer later you can, and nothing is held hostage.

Tell me about your project

Email me what you are building and roughly when you need it live. I will come back with a price and a timeline.

No obligation, and I will tell you if I am not the right fit.
