Website Development

Custom-built websites, from a fast landing page to a full-stack build with a database and its own admin dashboard, scoped to what the project actually needs.

Let's collaborate

Overview

I design and build websites the same way I build software products, as an architect, not someone installing a template and calling it done. This site (SharapovLab itself) is the proof: a database-free, content-driven, fully custom build with its own admin dashboard running behind the scenes. That's the same approach applied to your project, scoped to what you actually need instead of what a package happens to include.

What I Build

  • Landing Page — single page, no database, no CMS, built fast and around conversion. Responsive design, contact form, launch-ready in days, basic on-page SEO.
  • Business Website — multi-page marketing site without a database. Up to ~8 pages, content-managed via files instead of a bloated CMS, SEO-friendly structure and metadata.
  • Website + Database — dynamic content with an admin-editable data layer. Database-backed (PostgreSQL or similar), editable content without a developer, scales as the business grows.
  • + SEO + Admin Dashboard — full stack with a custom dashboard for content, SEO and analytics, and ready to wire up a payment gateway (Stripe, PayPal, etc.) when you need one.

Add-ons available alongside any of these, including a site I didn't originally build: a technical SEO audit and setup, an ongoing SEO growth retainer, SMM management, or a standalone admin dashboard with payment integration.

The right scope depends on page count, integrations and content volume, and gets worked out together before anything starts.

How I Build This

Content-driven sites, Markdown or JSON as the source of truth, skip the database entirely when there's nothing that actually needs one. They're faster, cheaper to host, and have less that can break down the line. When content changes constantly or needs to be queried, PostgreSQL or another relational store comes in, because the content demands it, not because a template happens to bundle one by default.

Admin dashboards get custom-built rather than pulled from a generic page-builder template, matched to exactly what needs managing: content, SEO metadata, analytics, payments, whatever's actually relevant. Payment integration, Stripe, PayPal, or a regional processor, wires directly into your own dashboard instead of routing through a third-party checkout page you don't control. And SEO gets built into the architecture from the start: semantic HTML, structured data, sitemaps, clean URLs. Not something bolted on after launch once someone notices traffic isn't showing up.

Who This Is For

Founders and businesses who want a real, owned website, not a page-builder subscription, and want to understand what a build like a landing page versus a full stack with a dashboard actually involves before reaching out.

FAQ

Do I need a database for my website?

Only if content changes frequently or needs to be queried or filtered. Marketing sites and landing pages usually don't need one, and a content-driven build without a database runs faster and costs less.

What's included in the admin dashboard tier?

A custom-built panel for managing content, SEO metadata and analytics, matched to your actual workflow, plus a site that's ready to wire up a payment gateway when you need one.

Can I add SEO or a dashboard later instead of at launch?

Yes. The add-ons (SEO setup, growth retainer, dashboard + payment integration) attach to an existing site too, including one I didn't originally build.

How is a project scoped?
