Sydney, Australia — Open to projects
I'm aWeb Designer

Websites that look unforgettable, load instantly and get found. Turn the sound on, move your mouse, then scroll slowly. The music follows you.

Scroll
01 — Manifesto000

I design and build websites that feel less like pages and more like places. Fast to load, easy to find on Google and hard to forget.

02 — What I do

Design, code and visibility.

03 — Principles

How I think.

01

Speed is design

A beautiful site that loads slowly is a bad site. Performance is part of the visual design, not final polish.

02

Clarity beats cleverness

Visitors should know what you do and what to do next within seconds. Motion and 3D support that goal.

03

Built to be found

Search visibility starts in the markup. Structure, titles, schema and speed are designed in from day one.

04

Accessible by default

Keyboard friendly, readable contrast, honest alt text, and motion and sound that respect people's choices.

05

You own the result

Plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript on hosting you control. No lock-in, no mystery plugins.

04 — Try it

Don't just read. Play.

Concept work

Concepts. Yours could be next.

Each panel explores a different challenge: dense data, graceful 3D, kinetic type, fast storefronts and shader experiments.

Real client projects will appear here as they launch. Until then, these show the standard I hold every build to.

Services

Services.

Everything a modern website needs to look exceptional, load fast and be found, designed and built by one person who cares about the details.

Design starts from your goals, not a template. I define the message, structure the pages, then craft a visual language, from type scale to motion, that feels like your business.

  • Sitemap and wireframes
  • Type, colour and spacing system
  • Responsive layouts for every screen
  • Designed in the browser, so approved means shipped

Hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript: lean, fast and easy to maintain. JavaScript is used where it earns its place, and pages work without it where they should.

  • Semantic, accessible markup
  • Modern CSS, no heavy frameworks
  • Forms and lightweight integrations
  • Hosting friendly: GitHub Pages, Cloudflare and more

Already have a dated or underperforming site? I audit what exists, keep what works, such as content and search equity, and rebuild what doesn't.

  • Content, design and technical audit
  • URL and redirect mapping
  • Improved structure and conversion paths
  • Staged launch with before-and-after checks

Technical and on-page SEO built into every project. Honest work, no guaranteed-rank promises.

  • Keyword and intent research
  • Titles, descriptions, heading structure
  • Sitemap, robots.txt, canonicals
  • Structured data (JSON-LD) and local SEO

Speed affects rankings, conversions and how your brand feels. I tune for Core Web Vitals so pages feel instant, even on slow phones.

  • Image and font optimisation
  • JavaScript and CSS budgets
  • Lazy loading and caching
  • Lighthouse and real-device testing

A site everyone can use is a better site for everyone. Accessibility is part of the build, guided by WCAG principles.

  • Keyboard navigation and focus states
  • Colour contrast and readable type
  • Meaningful alt text and labels
  • Reduced-motion and sound-off defaults

When a brand deserves to be remembered: WebGL scenes, scroll storytelling, shader effects, generative audio and even playable games, always with fast fallbacks.

  • Three.js hero scenes and walkable worlds
  • Scroll-linked animation and transitions
  • Optional generative sound that reacts to the page
  • Adaptive quality and graceful fallbacks

Domain, DNS, HTTPS, analytics and Search Console set up properly, then simple ongoing care so the site stays fast, secure and current.

  • Domain and DNS configuration
  • HTTPS, redirects, sitemap, robots
  • Analytics and Search Console
  • Updates and small edits

Signature features

Features.

The things I can build into your site that most sites never have. Every card below is a live demo. Touch them.

01

Scroll-reactive sound

Generative ambient music that changes key, tempo and intensity as visitors scroll. Optional, silent by default, volume controlled.

02

3D hero worlds

Three.js scenes with liquid shaders, GPU particles and cinematic cameras, with adaptive quality and a static fallback.

03

Cinematic transitions

Page changes that feel directed: shutter wipes, camera warps, ripples and chromatic glitch, never a hard cut.

04

Magnetic, tactile UI

Buttons that lean toward the cursor, cards that tilt with glare, links that scramble. Interfaces with weight.

05

Live theme engine

Switch the entire palette, the 3D scene and even the favicon in one click. Your brand colours, your moods.

06

Built-in browser games

A real, replayable game inside your site. Great for engagement, memorability and press. This one is called Bug Storm.

07

Kinetic typography

Letter-level reveals, variable-weight waves, scrambles and split words that move with scroll and cursor.

Philosophy

Features with a reason.

Every feature has to earn its place by improving clarity, memorability or speed.

I don't add effects to show off. I choose the one or two signature moments that make your brand unforgettable, then make sure the rest of the site is fast, accessible and easy to find on Google.

  • Sound is always opt-in and remembers the visitor's choice
  • 3D scales down on weak devices and falls back cleanly
  • Everything respects reduced-motion settings
  • Real content always lives in HTML for search engines

Process

Process.

Seven steps from first conversation to a site that keeps working for you. Scroll to travel through the pipeline.

Discover

Understand the goal.

We talk about your business, audience and what success looks like. I review your current site, competitors and search landscape, so every decision has a reason.

  • Goals, audience, success metrics
  • Site and competitor audit
  • Seed keyword and intent research
Strategy

Structure before style.

Pages, navigation and content are mapped around how people search and decide. SEO architecture and conversion paths are planned before a pixel is designed.

  • Sitemap and page purposes
  • Content outline and messaging
  • Internal linking plan
Design

A visual language.

Wireframes become a considered system: type scale, colour, spacing, components and motion principles, tested at every screen size.

  • Wireframes and direction
  • Design tokens and layouts
  • Motion and sound rules
Build

Semantic first.

Meaningful HTML first, then CSS, then JavaScript only where it adds value. Everything is keyboard friendly and degrades gracefully.

  • Accessible markup
  • Maintainable CSS
  • Progressive enhancement
Optimise

Make it fast.

Performance budgets, optimised images and fonts, lean scripts, then repeated tests on real devices until Core Web Vitals sit in the green.

  • Image and font tuning
  • JS and CSS budgets
  • Lighthouse and device testing
Launch

Ship it properly.

Domain, HTTPS, redirects, sitemap, robots and Search Console are configured and checked, with a launch checklist before anything goes live.

  • DNS, HTTPS, redirects
  • Sitemap, robots, analytics
  • Final cross-browser QA
Grow

Keep improving.

Launch is the start. I monitor performance and search visibility and recommend small, honest improvements that compound.

  • Monitoring and reporting
  • Content and technical refinements
  • Optional ongoing care
Start at step one

Let's talk about your goals.

Search engine optimisation

SEO.

SEO that starts in the code. Structure, speed and substance, so search engines understand your site and people choose it.

How search works

Crawl. Index. Rank.

01

Crawl

Engines discover pages by following links and sitemaps. If they can't reach a page, it can't rank.

02

Index

Content is analysed and stored. Clear structure, titles and structured data help engines understand each page.

03

Rank

Pages are ordered by relevance, quality and experience. Speed, mobile usability and trust all play a part.

Core Web Vitals

Speed you can measure.

0 s

Largest Contentful Paint

Good is 2.5 seconds or less. Poor is above 4 seconds.

0 ms

Interaction to Next Paint

Good is 200 ms or less. Poor is above 500 ms.

0

Cumulative Layout Shift

Good is 0.1 or less. Poor is above 0.25.

Four pillars

What good SEO covers.

01

Technical

Crawlability, indexing, HTTPS, sitemaps, canonicals, redirects, mobile usability and speed. The base everything sits on.

02

On-page

Unique titles and descriptions, logical headings, meaningful internal links, alt text and clean URLs.

03

Content

Pages that answer real questions in plain language, matched to what people actually search for.

04

Authority & local

Genuine reviews, a complete Google Business Profile, consistent business details and earned mentions.

Interactive

Quick self-audit.

0/12

Tick what your site already does.

Local

Found in Sydney.

If customers search with a suburb or "near me", local SEO matters.

That means a complete Google Business Profile, consistent name, address and phone details everywhere, genuinely useful location pages and a steady habit of asking happy customers for reviews.

  • Google Business Profile guidance
  • LocalBusiness structured data
  • Review and citation strategy, never bought
Honesty

What I won't do.

  • Promise guaranteed #1 rankings. Nobody honestly can.
  • Buy links or use link schemes
  • Stuff keywords or hide text
  • Copy content from other sites
  • Hide results behind jargon
FAQ

Common questions.

Technical fixes can show effects within weeks, but meaningful ranking growth usually takes months and depends on competition, content and authority.

Not if it's planned. A redirect map, preserved content and a launch checklist protect the visibility you already have.

It can be if it slows the page or hides content. I keep real content in HTML, load 3D lazily and always provide a fast fallback.

Bug Storm.

The web is infested. Survive the swarm, squash the bugs, grow stronger every level. One more run, always.

How to play

Move. Survive. Evolve.

Your ship fires automatically. You just have to stay alive and choose well.

  • Move: WASD or arrow keys. Hold the mouse to steer toward the cursor. On touch, use the joystick.
  • Collect: glowing gems dropped by bugs. Fill the bar to level up.
  • Choose: pick 1 of 3 upgrades each level (press 1, 2 or 3).
  • Pause: Esc or P. Turn the music on for the full experience, because the soundtrack intensifies as the swarm grows.
  • Boss: a Memory Leak arrives every 90 seconds. Kill it for a huge reward.
Upgrades

Build your loadout.

    Bestiary

    Know your enemy.

    01

    404

    The classic. Shambles toward you. Mildly embarrassing, endlessly numerous.

    02

    Lag

    Tiny, fast and annoying. Arrives in packs and punishes standing still.

    03

    Pop-up

    Slow, tanky and rude. Takes a lot of closing but drops extra XP.

    04

    Layout Shift

    Teleports toward you when you least expect it. Keep your distance stable.

    05

    Memory Leak

    The boss. Grows heavier every minute and spawns Lag minions until put down.

    Insights

    Insights.

    How I think about designing websites, written plainly. Seven short reads on speed, type, colour, motion, 3D, sound and search.

    A page that paints in under 2.5 seconds feels confident. Heavy hero videos, unoptimised images and blocking scripts quietly tax every visitor. I set a performance budget before design begins and treat it like a constraint on typography or colour.

    • Budget fonts, images and scripts first
    • Use modern image formats
    • Defer everything below the fold
    • Test on a mid-range phone

    Most weak designs are really weak typography. A modular scale with fluid clamp() sizes keeps hierarchy consistent from phone to ultrawide, and wide tracking on small caps labels adds the editorial feel.

    • Pick 5–6 sizes and stick to them
    • Tight tracking on big headings, wide on labels
    • Keep lines to 55–70 characters
    • One display face, one text face, one mono accent

    Near-black backgrounds make light feel precious. One hot accent pair (here ember red and amber) carries the energy, and everything else stays neutral. Contrast is checked, not assumed.

    • Limit the palette to one accent pair
    • Check contrast ratios on every text colour
    • Use colour to guide attention, not decorate
    • Offer theme choices without breaking the system

    Animation should explain, guide or reward. Entrances establish order, transitions preserve context, hover states confirm interactivity. And everything respects reduced-motion settings.

    • Never animate everything at once
    • Keep durations and easing consistent
    • Animate transforms and opacity only
    • Provide a calm alternative

    WebGL can transform a brand, but it can also wreck performance. I load Three.js lazily, scale resolution and particle counts to the device, pause rendering when it's covered and always ship a static fallback.

    • Lazy-load the 3D library
    • Scale quality in real time
    • Keep real content in HTML
    • Handle WebGL failure gracefully

    Sound can add atmosphere, but only when invited. It stays off by default, remembers the visitor's choice and, on this site, is generated live in the browser, reacting to how you scroll. No licensed audio, no downloads.

    • Never autoplay
    • Always show a visible toggle and volume
    • Fade in and out smoothly
    • Tie sound to interaction, not noise

    Before any visual polish, a page needs one H1, a unique title, a real description, semantic landmarks, structured data and fast loading. Search engines read structure. People feel speed.

    • One H1 and a logical heading order
    • Unique title and description per page
    • JSON-LD that matches visible content
    • Fast, stable, mobile-first layouts

    About

    About.

    I'm Pavan Patel, a web designer and creative developer based in Sydney.

    Story

    Why I build.

    I believe a website should be a place people want to stay in, not just a page they pass through.

    I design and code websites by hand, caring about details most people never consciously notice: how type breathes, how motion guides attention, how quickly a page appears on a weak phone connection.

    I'm building my own studio here in Sydney and taking on projects for people and businesses who want a site that looks distinctive, performs well and is easy for search engines and customers to find.

    Principles

    What I stand for.

    01

    Speed first

    Fast sites respect people's time.

    02

    Clear over clever

    Every effect has to earn its place.

    03

    Accessible

    If it excludes people, it isn't finished.

    04

    Honest

    Plain language, fair scopes, no overpromising.

    Working with me

    What to expect.

    • A short first call or message about your goals
    • A scoped quote with milestones and revision rounds
    • Regular, plain-language updates, never radio silence
    • Timelines depend on scope. A small site is often a few weeks
    • A clear handover so you stay in control
