Q00Do you work with international clients?+
Yes — that's the whole model. Layerstop is a web designer in Bengaluru working for
international clients: startup founders in the US, UK, EU, and Australia. IST evenings
overlap US mornings and all of European working hours, every update ships as an async
video walkthrough, and payments run through PayPal, Wise, or Payoneer with a proper
invoice. You get senior design and engineering at Bengaluru economics — the PageSpeed
scores don't know my address.
Q01Why are you so much cheaper than a US agency?+
Because of Bengaluru cost of living, zero agency overhead, and an AI-accelerated
workflow. You're not paying less for less, you're paying for one senior pair of hands
instead of an office in San Francisco.
Q02How do timezones work?+
I'm in IST. My afternoon and evening = US morning = EU midday. You'll usually wake up to
progress, and we can overlap live for calls every working day.
Q03What if I don't like the design?+
The first concept lands in 72 hours. Hate the direction? Full deposit back, we part
friends. Like it? We refine through structured revision rounds until it's right, and
"right" is a standard I hold higher than you will.
Q04Who owns the work?+
You. Files, code, domain, everything. No lock-in, no hostage-taking.
Q05Do you use AI?+
Yes, deliberately, for speed, never for taste. It's why I ship in 14 days what agencies
quote 8 weeks for. The design judgement is 100% human, 100% mine.
Q06How do payments work?+
50% deposit, 50% on launch. Invoice provided. USD, EUR, GBP all fine.
Q07What do you build with?+
Hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript, or React/Next.js when the project calls for it.
Real code, full ownership, no proprietary page-builder lock-in.
Q08What happens after launch?+
Two weeks of free bug fixes. After that, an optional light retainer for tweaks, or
you're fully independent. Everything's documented.
Q09Can you do my whole website / an app?+
The sprint is one high-converting landing page done exceptionally well. Multi-page sites
are scoped separately, ask on the call.
Q10Do you write the copy, or do I?+
I write it, it's inside the sprint, not an add-on. Design and copy fail when they're
made separately. You'll review and shape it, but you won't be staring at a beautiful
page full of lorem ipsum wondering what to do next.
Q11What do I need to have ready before day 1?+
About 90 minutes of your time for the kickoff, access to any brand assets you have, and
honest answers about your product and customers. That's it. No brief-writing homework,
the kickoff call is the brief.
Q12How many revisions do I get?+
Two structured revision rounds, one on design, one after build. "Structured" means you
send consolidated feedback and I turn it around, rather than 40 Slack messages over 5
days. That structure is why the 14 days hold.
Q13What exactly is the design-only option?+
Everything through the design phase: strategy, copy, complete Figma file with a
developer handoff spec, components, tokens, responsive breakpoints annotated. Your
developer builds it. It's for teams who have engineering but not design.
Q14How do I know the numbers on this page are real?+
You don't have to trust them. This page is the product, run it through PageSpeed
yourself, view the source, check the schema. Everything I claim about my work is
measurable on the thing you're currently reading.
