Website design in Pune
The Brand Odyssey designs and builds websites for businesses in Pune, across India and in the UAE. We start with what your customers need to find and do on the site, then design pages that look like your brand and that your team can keep up to date. Every project is led by our founder, Saurabh Khatri, who has spent 18 years building brands in India, Southeast Asia and the UAE.
Your website is often the first meeting
Most people will look at your website before they ever speak to you. They usually check it on a phone, often in a hurry, and decide within a few seconds whether you seem like the right fit. If the site loads slowly, is hard to read on a small screen, or looks nothing like your shop, menu or packaging, many of them simply leave.
Since we also design brand identities, we treat the website as part of the brand rather than a separate job. The fonts, colours, photos and tone on the site match everything else your customers see. We also plan each page around the questions people ask before they get in touch, so the site helps bring in enquiries instead of only looking good.
What we design and build
- A new website, or a redesign of the one you already have
- Landing pages for a launch, a campaign or an event
- Service and product pages, menus, galleries and portfolios
- Booking and enquiry forms that send leads straight to your inbox
- Layouts planned for phones first, then tablets and desktops
- The basics Google needs at launch: page titles, descriptions, headings, image descriptions and a sitemap
Most of the sites we build run on WordPress, so your team can change text, photos and pages without waiting on a developer. When a project needs an online store, a web app or a specific platform such as Shopify, Node.js or .NET, we say so early and plan the build around it.
How a website project runs
- Understand: we start with a call and a short workshop about your business, your customers and what the site has to do. We look at your current site and a few competitors, then agree a page plan and a one-page brief before any design starts.
- Design: we design the most important pages first, usually the homepage and one inner page, so you react to real layouts instead of a mood board. Once those are signed off, we design the rest of the site in the same style.
- Build: we build the site on a private test link, so you can click through every page and try the forms on your own phone before anything goes live.
- Launch and handover: we move the site live, set up the basics for Google and show your team how to edit pages. You get all the logins and a short guide to keep.
Some of our website work
Nusantara Estates, Bali
A group of private luxury villas in Bali. We designed the brand identity and the website, which lets guests browse each villa with its photos, amenities and location, then send a booking enquiry. Since launch the client has seen people stay longer on the site and send more enquiries about stays.
Yuvaa, youth media
Yuvaa makes content for young Indians on topics many people avoid, from mental health to gender equality. Their website had to hold reports, impact stories and original videos, and feel safe and friendly rather than clinical. We used a warm, youthful look with bold type and illustrations, and planned every page for phones because that is where most of their audience reads.
Frosty Bro, UAE
A New Zealand inspired ice cream truck brand in the UAE, serving ice cream made from real fruit. Along with the brand and its social media, we built a website where people can browse the menu, find the nearest truck and see booking details, all set up for quick use on a phone.
More website work, including Niu Mobility in Bali and the Maharashtra Premier League, is on our work page.
Websites your team can manage
Most clients want to update their own website, so we build with that in mind. Pages are set up so your team can change prices, add photos or post news without breaking the layout, and we walk them through it at handover. If you would rather hand it over to us, we also offer monthly website maintenance covering updates, backups, security checks and small changes.
Based in Pune, working across India and the UAE
We are based in Kondhwa, Pune, and many of our website clients are nearby. We have also built sites for businesses in the UAE and in Bali. Most of a website project runs well over video calls and shared links, so where you are based rarely changes how the work goes.
What it costs
Every website is priced per project, because a five page site for a clinic and an online store with hundreds of products are very different jobs. Once we understand what you need, we send a written scope and a quote before any work begins.
Questions people ask us
How long does a website take?
A business website of five to eight pages usually takes four to six weeks from the agreed brief to launch. Larger sites, online stores and anything with custom features take longer, and we give you a timeline along with the quote.
Can you redesign our existing website?
Yes. We start by looking at what already works on your current site, including the pages that bring in visitors from Google, so the redesign keeps the search rankings you have earned. Useful content stays, and any page that moves gets a redirect to its new address. We have written up the full checklist in how to redesign your website without losing your Google rankings.
Will we be able to edit the website ourselves?
Yes. We build most sites on WordPress and show your team how to update text, photos and pages. You also get a short guide so new team members can pick it up later.
Do you write the content and arrange photos?
We can write the page copy for you in your brand's voice, or work with copy your team has already written. If you need new photos or video, we can plan the shoot with you.
Do you work with businesses in Dubai and the UAE?
Yes. We have built websites for UAE brands such as Frosty Bro, and we work with clients there over video calls and shared links.
Who owns the website when the project ends?
You do. Once the final invoice is paid, the website, its content and all the logins are yours. We also suggest keeping the domain and hosting in your company's name from the start.
