S.03 The problem Three hires, one craft

You need a landing page.

So you hire a designer. The Figma file is gorgeous.
Now you need a developer to build it. Something gets lost in translation.

Now the site's live, but Google can't read it. No meta. No structure. No schema.
So you find an SEO person. They want to change the design.

Three hires. Three timelines. Three invoices.
And the page still looks like every other template on the internet.

The problem isn't the people. It's the handoffs.

A landing page isn't three jobs. It's one craft, design, engineering, and search, done by one brain that sees the whole picture.

That's Layerstop.

S.04 Case study Client / shipped / live

Brand Story Socials

A marketing agency that needed a site that builds trust and converts, not just looks good.

Brand Story Socials website, hero section
⌁ brandstorysocials.com Live PageSpeed at launch — 97 / 100 / 100

One person. The whole launch.

They came in needing what most agencies split across three vendors: a premium design, a real build, and a site Google could actually read. All three shipped together, no handoffs, nothing lost in translation.

S.06 The offer Public pricing / fixed timeline

The 14-Day Landing Page Sprint

From brief to live in two weeks — strategy, design, code and search handled by one studio, nothing to coordinate.

What's not included

A CMS (available as a $500 add-on), full multi-page web apps, e-commerce stores, and ongoing content writing. If that's what you need, say so on the call, I'll tell you honestly if I'm the wrong fit.

Included | and rarer than it sounds

Launched means findable, by Google and by AI.

Search changed. Your customers now ask ChatGPT and Google's AI overviews before they ever see a results page. Most landing pages are invisible to both. Every sprint ships with the full layer:

  • Structured data (JSON-LD) so machines can actually read what you sell
  • Metadata engineered per-page, not pasted from a template
  • Core Web Vitals passing, because speed is a ranking input, not a nice-to-have
  • Copy structured so AI answers can cite you, not just index you

This page practices what it's selling. Inspect the source.

S.08 Process Day 0 ⟶ Day 14

Certainty, step by step.

The #1 fear about hiring a stranger overseas is chaos. Here's exactly what happens instead.

Day 0

Book a call

30 minutes. We break down what you're selling, who it's for, and why the current page isn't converting. You leave with clarity even if we never work together.

Day 1–2

Strategy & wireframe

Structure and messaging first, pixels second.

Day 3–7

Design

First concept in 72 hours. Updates every 48 hours. Structured revision rounds, consolidated feedback, fast turnarounds. That structure is why 14 days holds.

Day 8–12

Build

The design becomes real, fast, responsive code.

Day 13–14

Launch

Domain, SEO, meta, AEO, forms, QA. You get everything: files, code, access.

S.10 About The artist ⇄ the engineer
The artist ⇄ the engineer Hover / tap

Hi, Shashish here.

I started with oil paints and pencil sketches as a kid in India. Then posters. Then apparel people actually bought and re-bought. Then a portfolio reel hit 600K+ views and founders started reaching out.

Now I run Layerstop, a one-person design studio built on a simple belief: design isn't decoration, it's the difference between being scrolled past and being remembered. The name comes from how I work, every design is built in layers.

When I'm not building for clients, I study AI/ML at RV University and Data Science at IIT Madras, and build AI systems for fun, a payment layer for AI agents, a private research LLM. That engineering side is why your site won't just look right. It'll work right.

Yes, I use AI in my workflow, it makes me faster, not generic. Every design decision, every line of judgement, is mine. That's why nothing I ship looks like slop.

The part where the risk moves to my side of the table.

You're wiring money to someone you've never met, in a timezone you've never checked. I know exactly what that feels like from your side. So here's how I remove it:

The day-3 kill switch.

By day 3 you've seen the strategy doc, the wireframe, and the first design concept. If you look at it and think "this person doesn't get it", say so, take your full deposit back, and we part with zero awkwardness. I eat those 3 days. That's the bet I'm making on my own work.

Milestone payments, not blind trust.

50% to book the sprint. 50% at launch. You never pay for work you haven't seen.

If I miss day 14 and the delay is mine, the delay is free.

Every day I run over costs you nothing. Your revision rounds don't count against this, my calendar does.

You own everything.

Figma files, repo, domain, analytics. From day one, in your accounts, not mine. If we part ways, you lose nothing.

No guarantee section on a website has ever mattered more than the contract behind it. You'll get that too, before any money moves.

I run two sprints a month. Not as a marketing tactic, as arithmetic. One brain doing strategy, design, copy, and code is the entire premise of this page. It stops working at three.

++ ++ Book a call

30 minutes. Free. You leave with clarity
even if we never work together.

We break down what you're selling, who it's for, and why your current page isn't converting. No pitch-slapping, the call is useful on its own.

Pick a 30-minute slot ↗ Prefer email? I reply within 24h

Here's what happens next: you pick a 30-minute slot. Before we talk, I review your current page and product, so we skip the small talk. You leave the call with a straight answer, a fit, or a recommendation for something better. No follow-up sequence. No "just checking in" emails.

S.12 FAQ 16 objections, answered

Every objection, answered up front.

Q01What does Layerstop actually do?+

Layerstop turns complex businesses into clear, credible digital experiences that make the next step obvious. It's a founder-led design studio in Bengaluru, and its signature offer is the 14-Day Landing Page Sprint — design, code, SEO, meta & AEO, launched in two weeks, starting at $1,199. One studio handles the whole thing, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.

Q02Do 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.

Q03How 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.

Q04Who owns the work?+

You. Files, code, domain, everything. No lock-in, no hostage-taking.

Q05How do payments work?+

50% deposit, 50% on launch. Invoice provided. USD, EUR, GBP all fine.

Q06What 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.

Q07Do 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.

Q08How 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.

S.13 Not ready? 48h / free / no strings
Not ready?

Get a free teardown.

Send me your current landing page. I'll record a personal 5-minute video, what's costing you conversions, what's invisible to Google, and what I'd fix first. Free, no strings. Worst case, you get a to-do list.

I record every one of these myself, 5 per week, first come. If the week's full, you're first in line for Monday.

One last thing

Your landing page is usually the first real thing anyone sees of what you're building. Before the product. Before the pitch. One page, carrying everything.

Most founders settle for a template and hope. You've read this far because you won't.

I only take a few projects a month, and I treat every one like it's carrying someone's whole company, because it is.

Let's build the page your product deserves.

S.14 Origin / the archive Oil paint → pixels

Layerstop didn't start with websites.

It started with oil paint and pencil sketches.
Then posters people wanted on their walls.

Then an apparel brand — the Layerstop Cosmos line — designed, built, marketed, and sold by me, with repeat buyers to show for it.

Then interfaces.

Design has always been the through-line.
The web is just where it converts now.

The archive — apparel, lookbooks & 3D Scroll ⟶ rotate · front: 01 / 10
Ten pieces from the archive — Layerstop Cosmos apparel, lookbooks & 3D — designed, rendered, printed, or sold
Honest attribution
592Kviews 30Klikes 3Ksaves

One of these pieces passed 600,000 views on Instagram. Let me label that correctly: it's my design work going viral, proof of taste and craft, not proof of client results. Those are different things, and a studio that blurs them is training you to distrust everything else it says.

Client results live in the case study above, with numbers you can verify. This gallery answers a different question, does this person have range? The full archive lives on Behance.

I've been on the other side of the table, I've had to make design actually sell a product I owned.
