Process

How a project works.

A clear, predictable process with one point of contact from the first message to launch day.

  1. Tell me about your project

    Share your goals, your content and a few sites you like. I'll reply with questions, a plan and a fixed quote.

  2. Design in Figma

    I design your key pages for desktop and mobile and refine them with you until they feel right. Already have a design? We go straight to the build.

  3. Build the site

    I build it as a fast custom WordPress theme (or Elementor Pro if you prefer), tested on every screen size.

  4. Launch and hand over

    Speed tuning, on-page SEO basics and a walkthrough, so you can update the site yourself.

Hi, I'm Yasitha. I design and build websites.

I'm a web designer and WordPress developer with 120 completed Upwork jobs and a 100% job success score. Clients hire me because one person handles both the design and the build, so nothing gets lost between a designer and a developer.

I work with small and mid-size businesses, startups, online stores and professionals in Australia, the UK, the USA and Europe. Most sites I build are lightweight custom themes: responsive, tuned for Core Web Vitals, and easy for you to update without a page builder.

Core Web Vitals explained for business owners

Google's Core Web Vitals measure how fast and stable your site feels to real visitors. Here's what the three numbers mean, what good looks like and…

FAQ

Questions clients ask.

Can't find your answer? Send a message on Upwork and I'll reply with the details you need.

Do I need a design before we start?

No. Most clients don't have one. I design your site in Figma first, and you approve every page before I build anything.

Can you build from a design I already have?

Yes. Share your Figma file and I'll review the frames, components and breakpoints before giving you a fixed quote.

Will I be able to edit the site myself?

Yes. Every page gets simple, labelled fields for text and images, so you can update content without touching code or breaking the layout. I walk you through it after launch.

Do you build personal and professional websites?

Yes. As well as business sites and online stores, I build personal websites for consultants, coaches, creatives and other professionals who want to look the part online.

How much does a website cost?

It depends on the number of pages and features. Every project gets a fixed quote before any work begins, so you know the full cost up front.

Do you optimise for speed and SEO?

Every build gets clean asset loading and Core Web Vitals tuning, plus on-page SEO basics: headings, image alt text, page titles and meta descriptions.

Which time zones do you work with?

I'm based in Sri Lanka and work with clients in Australia, the UK, the USA and Europe, with check-ins that suit your time zone.

Ready to start your website?

Tell me about your project, even if it's just an idea. I'll reply with questions, a fixed quote and next steps.
