Restaurants and cafés
A current menu readable on a phone, photographs of your own room rather than a stock kitchen, the hours, and a booking that is one tap on a number.
Silchar
We work out of Silchar. Most businesses here have a phone number, a Facebook page and no website — so when somebody searches for what you sell, they find somebody else. A first site has one job before any other: to exist, and to be believed.
01 The market
A market where most businesses have no site is a different brief from one where everybody does. It is worth being exact about which one this is.
Silchar is where the Barak Valley does its trading. Club Road and Central Road carry the retail. Rangirkhari and Ambicapatty carry the shops people walk to. Tarapur and Meherpur hold a good share of the clinics, chambers and offices. Cachar, Karimganj and Hailakandi all feed into it.
The business mix is specific. Restaurants and cafés. Diagnostic labs, clinics and consulting chambers. Coaching centres, a great many of them, competing over the same admission cycle every year. Tea estates, and the brokers, suppliers and engineering shops that live off them. And a long tail of family retail that has traded on reputation for two generations.
Very few of them have a website. Some have a Facebook page last posted to around a festival two years ago. That is not a redesign problem. It is a discovery and credibility problem, and it needs a different first move: be findable when somebody searches, and be believable when a stranger lands on the page and has to decide whether to call you.
Language matters here too. Bengali and Sylheti are the working languages of this market: the enquiry arrives in Sylheti, the signboard is in Bengali, the website gets read in English. So the English stays short and unornamented, and the call to action is a phone number or a WhatsApp link, because that is the channel the enquiry will actually come through. A contact form on its own collects very little here.
Nobody in Silchar loses a customer to a better website. They lose them to the one that turned up at all.
02 Briefs
Five briefs we see repeatedly here. The sector changes. The first ninety seconds on the page do not.
A current menu readable on a phone, photographs of your own room rather than a stock kitchen, the hours, and a booking that is one tap on a number.
Tests and procedures listed with what they cost, consulting hours per doctor, and directions precise enough for somebody anxious and already in an auto.
Batches, fees, faculty and last year's results, laid out so a parent comparing three institutes in one evening can finish on your page instead of ringing all three.
Estates, brokers, machinery, packaging. The buyer is often outside the valley, has never met you, and decides whether this is a serious operation from the site.
Categories carried, brands stocked, the shop on a map, and one clear reason to walk in rather than order the same thing online.
Whatever the sector, the work underneath is the same: structure first, then what each page says in what order, then every page drawn on your own content.
Website design services in full03 Working together
Being in the same town only counts if it changes how the work gets done. Five places where it does.
The first conversation happens at your premises. We see the shop, the kitchen, the waiting room.
Menus, rate cards, registrations. Most of it exists on paper and never gets emailed to anyone.
A photograph of your own place beats a bought image of somebody else's, every time.
Sit with us and go through the pages, rather than approving a link between two customers.
Logins, the domain in your name, and how to change a price without ringing anybody first — while the hosting underneath stays ours to run.
None of it is compulsory — plenty of projects here run entirely over WhatsApp. But we are not a remote vendor in this market, and if turning up saves a fortnight of chasing content, we turn up.
If you sell into Guwahati as well, that market runs on different rules: nearly everybody there already has a website, and the job is to get past it rather than to exist.
Web design in Guwahati04 Cost
The same four packages we quote everywhere. No local rate, in either direction.
Starting at ₹12,999 One-time
Starter covers up to five pages and suits most first websites here. Landing pages start at ₹8,999, maintenance at ₹1,499 a month. The domain sits outside those figures, registered in your name and renewed with the registrar — it is yours, and you should never have to ask a supplier for it. Hosting is managed by us rather than something you have to arrange.
What each package includes, page allowances, revision rounds and the maintenance plans.

If something here is still unclear, say so in the enquiry — a straight answer costs us less than a misunderstanding does.

One answer at a time.
Yes. We work out of Silchar, so the first conversation, the content collection and the handover can all happen face to face. Say so in the enquiry and we will arrange it. It is not compulsory — plenty of projects here run over WhatsApp and email instead.
A Facebook page is rented ground: its reach is decided by somebody else and changes without warning. A website is the one address you own, the thing a search engine can rank, and what a stranger checks before deciding you are real. Keep the page — the two are not competing.
English for the site itself, in most cases — not because Bengali matters less, but because a website is read by strangers, and English is the common ground between a Silchar customer, a Guwahati supplier and a buyer outside the state. Bengali and Sylheti are how the conversation happens, which is why the phone number sits above the form rather than below it.
About a week for a five-page Starter build, two to three weeks for Business. The design rarely holds it up. Content does: the menu that needs retyping, the photographs nobody has taken. Get us those in the first week and the rest runs to schedule.
You can — we hand over the logins and enough documentation to change a price or an opening time yourself. The hosting underneath it is managed by us either way. If nobody in the business wants the content job, a maintenance plan takes it, from ₹1,499 a month. A website that belongs to nobody is how one quietly stops being true.
Or look at what the work actually comes out like, project by project.

That is usually the first three pages of the site. What you sell, where you are, and why somebody should choose you over the shop two streets away.
