Who actually does the work?

Saai Siddharth T, the founder. Not an account manager, not a team you are introduced to once and never meet again. The person who scopes the project is the person who writes the code and the person who replies to your email. For specialist pieces outside that range — a video edit, a heavy motion sequence — a trusted collaborator may be brought in, and you will be told before it happens, not after.

You are one person. What happens if you are unavailable?

It is a real risk and worth planning for rather than talking around. Code lives in your repository under your account from the first commit, not on a studio machine. Infrastructure runs in your accounts wherever possible. Every project ships with a written handover — architecture, environment variables, deploy steps — so another engineer can pick it up without an introduction. If something long-term happens, you are not locked out of your own product.

Can I see previous work?

Publicly, not yet — and inventing a portfolio is exactly the thing this studio refuses to do. What you can inspect right now: this site, the proposal system behind it, and the CRM that runs it, all built here. Ask on a call and specific work can be walked through directly. When there are client case studies worth publishing, with permission, they will appear on this site with real numbers.

How long does a project take?

It depends on scope, which is why the scope is agreed in writing first. As rough shapes: a marketing site is usually 2–4 weeks, a working MVP 4–8 weeks, and a larger platform 3 months or more. Any date given before the scope is written is a guess, and a guess is not a commitment.

Anything that needs a team larger than this studio, on a deadline that assumes one. Also: rescuing a codebase whose owner will not give access to it, projects with no decision-maker available, and work where the timeline is fixed before the scope is. If a project is a bad fit, that is said up front rather than discovered in month two.

How do revisions work?

Each milestone includes two rounds of revision inside the agreed scope. Changes that alter the scope are quoted separately before any work starts, so no invoice ever arrives as a surprise. What counts as inside the scope is written down at the start, which is the entire point of scoping it.

What is included in the quoted price?

Design, build, testing, deployment, a written handover, and 30 days of post-launch support for defects. Every quote also lists what is explicitly excluded — third-party subscriptions, paid media, ongoing content — so the number you are given is the number you pay.

How is payment structured?

In milestones, not one lump sum: typically a deposit to start, then payments tied to agreed deliverables, with the balance on handover. Amounts and dates are written into the proposal before anything begins. Invoices are in INR; international payment is possible and is agreed case by case.

Can I get a fixed price?

Yes, where the scope can be fixed. A well-specified build gets a fixed price. Open-ended work — ongoing marketing, a product still being figured out — is better on a monthly basis, because a fixed price on an undefined scope is either padded to cover the unknown or renegotiated later. Both are worse for you than being told which one this is.

What if the work is not right?

Progress is reviewable at every milestone rather than revealed at the end, so problems surface while they are still cheap. If a milestone is not accepted, it is reworked. If the engagement is not working, it can be stopped at a milestone boundary — you pay for what has been delivered and accepted, you keep that work, and you keep the code.

By default: TypeScript throughout, Next.js on the front end, Cloudflare Workers and Postgres behind it, Prisma for data access. This site, its API, its CRM and its proposal system all run on exactly that, so the stack is not a recommendation from a slide — it is what is running while you read this.

Can you work with my existing codebase?

Often, yes. It starts with a paid audit — a short, fixed-price read of the code and infrastructure ending in a written assessment of what is sound, what is risky, and what it would cost to move forward. That is a genuine deliverable you keep whether or not the work continues, and it is a far better basis for a decision than an estimate made without opening the repository.

Can you scale if my project grows?

Not into a large team, and claiming otherwise would be the easiest lie on this page. This studio is sized for one engineer's throughput plus occasional specialist help. If a project outgrows that, you will be told, and helped to hire — the handover documentation exists precisely so bringing in more engineers does not mean starting again.

Do you handle hosting and deployment?

Yes, and it is set up in accounts you own — your Cloudflare, your Vercel, your database — with access granted to the studio rather than the other way round. That means the running cost is billed to you directly at cost, with no margin added, and revoking access never takes your product offline.

Yes. On final payment, full ownership of the source code, the designs and the associated intellectual property transfers to you, in writing. In practice you already have it: the repository is under your account throughout, so ownership at the end is a formality rather than a migration.

What support is there after launch?

Thirty days of defect support is included with every build — if something shipped broken, it gets fixed, at no charge. Beyond that, ongoing support is a separate monthly arrangement, priced by what it actually covers. There is no automatic renewal and no retainer you have to cancel.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes, before any detail is shared. Send yours and it will be reviewed and signed, or a standard mutual one can be provided. Client information is not used as a portfolio piece, a case study or a testimonial without written permission — which is a large part of why this site currently shows no client names.

Where are you, and what hours?

Attur, Salem, Tamil Nadu, India — IST, UTC+5:30. That gives a full working overlap with Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, and a morning overlap with US Eastern. Email is the record of the project; calls are scheduled rather than expected on demand, and a reply outside working hours is a courtesy rather than a promise.

Who you are hiring

Saai Siddharth T

FounderB.Tech, Artificial Intelligence

Good software is priced for companies that already made it. Everyone else gets a template, a plugin stack, and a bill for the privilege.

PixlNova exists to close that gap — to build for founders, small businesses and students at the standard usually reserved for funded startups, and to be honest about what a small studio can and cannot do.

I started PixlNova because I kept meeting people with a real business and no way to get software worth using. They had been quoted six figures for something that should have taken weeks, or handed a website that broke the first time it was needed.
I would rather show you the work than describe it. Everything on this site is mine — the proposal system, the CRM behind it, the API, this page. If you hire me, you are hiring the person who wrote it, not an account manager who will introduce you to a team you never meet.

Services

Twelve things we build, each with the scope written down.

Every service below has its own page stating what is included, what is explicitly excluded, who it suits, and who it does not. Open a card to read it before you ask for anything.

12 services · not sure which one you need? Tell us what you are building and we will scope it.

Shipped

Nothing published here yet.

Client work is under NDA until permission to publish it exists, and inventing a portfolio is the one thing this studio will not do. Ask on a call and specific work can be walked through directly.

The projects marketplace (opens in a new tab) is where finished products get published as they are released.

How it works

Four stages, and what you are holding at the end of each.

Every stage below ends in something you can open, read or deploy — not a status update. The commitment under each one is the reason it is safe to start.

01
Scope it in writing
2–5 days
A call, then a written scope: what is being built, what is explicitly not, the milestones, and a fixed number against them. Nothing is billed until this is agreed, and nothing outside it is started without a new line.
- Written scope with named exclusions
- Milestone plan with dates
- Fixed price for that scope
No invoice before the scope is agreed.
02
Build in reviewable milestones
The bulk of the project
Work lands in your repository from the first commit, on a branch you can read. Each milestone ends in something you can open and use — not a status update. Payment follows acceptance, so progress and billing never drift apart.
- Working software at every milestone
- Commits in your repository as they happen
- Two revision rounds per milestone, in scope
Stop at any milestone boundary and keep everything delivered.
03
Ship to accounts you own
1–3 days
Deployment goes to your Cloudflare, your Vercel, your database — access granted to the studio rather than the other way round. You get the architecture written down, the environment documented, and the keys.
- Production deployment in your accounts
- Written architecture and runbook
- Environment and access handover
Infrastructure billed to you at cost, with no margin added.
04
Defect warranty, then your call
30–90 days included
If something shipped broken, it gets fixed at no charge for the warranty period stated in your plan. After that, ongoing support is a separate monthly arrangement priced by what it covers — never an automatic renewal you have to remember to cancel.
- Defect fixes within the warranty window
- Optional monthly support, scoped separately
- No lock-in on hosting, code or domains
Nothing renews automatically.

What it gets built with

Chosen per project, not per preference. Anything marked on this site is running on the page you are reading — so that part you can check rather than take on trust.

Web

Default is Next.js and TypeScript. The others are used where a project already runs them.

TypeScripton this site: Every line, strict mode
Next.json this site: App Router, server components
Reacton this site: Interface layer
Tailwind CSSon this site: Design tokens and layout
Vue: Where the existing app is Vue
Svelte: Where bundle size is the constraint

Mobile & desktop

Cross-platform first. Native only when the app genuinely needs platform APIs.

Flutter: One codebase, both stores
React Native: When the team already writes React
Swift: Native iOS where required
Tauri: Desktop, small binaries
Electron: Desktop, existing web app

Backend & data

Postgres unless there is a specific reason not to. Edge runtime by default.

Cloudflare Workerson this site: API runtime at the edge
Honoon this site: Routing and middleware
Prismaon this site: Database access and migrations
PostgreSQLon this site: System of record
Node.js: Services outside the edge runtime
Redis: Caching, queues and rate limits

Cloud & delivery

Deployed into accounts you own, so the running cost reaches you without a margin.

Cloudflareon this site: Edge, DNS and storage
Vercelon this site: Web hosting and previews
AWS: Where the workload needs it
Docker: Reproducible environments
GitHub Actionson this site: CI and deploys

Correctness

The part that is usually invisible in a quote, and the reason handovers go quietly.

Zodon this site: Validation at every boundary
Viteston this site: Unit and contract tests
Playwrighton this site: Browser tests
Sentryon this site: Errors and tracing in production

AI

Built with an evaluation set and a cost ceiling, or not built.

OpenAI: General models
Anthropic: Long-context and tool use
Vector search: Retrieval over your own documents
Self-hosted models: Where data cannot leave

Design & creative

Design happens in the browser as often as in a file — the tokens are the handoff.

Figma: Design and handoff
Design tokenson this site: One source for colour, type and spacing
After Effects: Motion graphics
Premiere Pro: Video editing

Payments

Chosen by where your customers are, not by preference.

Razorpay: India
Stripe: International

Already running something else? The defaults are defaults, not requirements — say what you are on and it gets scoped against that instead.

Pricing

Starting prices, and what each one does not cover.

Every plan below states its exclusions next to its price. That is the part most quotes leave out, and it is where the arguments come from — so it is written down before you get in touch, not after.

Scope this plan

Applies to every plan

Written scope before any invoice: What is included and what is excluded, agreed in writing before work starts. The number you are quoted is the number you pay.
Your repository from the first commit: Code is pushed to your account, not a studio machine. Ownership at the end is a formality, not a migration.
Infrastructure in your accounts, billed at cost: Hosting, database and domains sit in accounts you own and pay for directly. No margin is added to your running costs.
Milestone billing, stop at any boundary: Payment follows accepted deliverables. If it is not working, stop at a milestone — you keep everything delivered and paid for.
You deal with the founder: The person who scopes it writes it and answers your email. No account manager, no handoff to a team you never meet.

These are starting prices for the scopes described. Final scope, timeline, taxes and any third-party costs are confirmed in writing before anything begins. Tell us what you need and you get a fixed number against a written scope.

Questions

The questions worth asking before you hire anyone.

Including the uncomfortable ones. If something here is not answered, ask directly — the reply comes from the person who would do the work.

What types of projects do you build?

Technical

We specialize in web applications, mobile apps, AI/ML solutions, IoT systems, desktop applications, and cloud-native platforms. Our team has expertise across the full technology spectrum from frontend to infrastructure.

How long does a typical project take?

Working together

Project timelines vary based on complexity. A simple web application might take 4-6 weeks, while a complex enterprise platform can take 3-6 months. We provide detailed timelines during our discovery phase.

What technologies do you use?

Technical

We use modern, industry-standard technologies: React/Next.js for frontend, Node.js/Python for backend, PostgreSQL/MongoDB for databases, Flutter for mobile, and AWS/GCP for cloud infrastructure. We always choose the best tool for the job.

Do you offer ongoing support?

Support & legal

Yes! We offer maintenance packages that include bug fixes, security updates, performance monitoring, and feature enhancements. Our support team is available for all deployed projects.

What is your pricing model?

Price & payment

We offer both fixed-price and time-and-materials pricing. Fixed-price works best for well-defined projects, while T&M is ideal for iterative development. We provide transparent estimates before starting any work.

Can you work with our existing codebase?

Technical

Absolutely. We frequently take over existing projects for improvements, refactoring, or feature additions. We start with a thorough code audit to understand the current state before proposing changes.

Do you sign NDAs?

Support & legal

Yes, we sign NDAs for all projects. Client confidentiality is paramount. We also follow strict data security practices aligned with industry standards.

How do you handle project communication?

Working together

We use Slack/Discord for daily communication, weekly video standup calls, and a shared project board (Linear/Jira) for task tracking. You'll always know exactly where your project stands.
