Founders on the other side of the world, delivered remotely

Alongside my full-time role, I’ve designed and built first versions for Australian founders, from the first call to launch and after.

Clients

Avangard Capital home page as I delivered it: a dark navy hero with the headline “AI-Led Quantitative Investment Fund”, a blue “Fund performance” button and an investor portal link, over a dotted world map.
The version I delivered. The live site has since been redesigned.

Finance · Systematic Australian equity fund

Avangard Capital

The first version of the fund’s website, built for an audience that needs to trust it.

Design Development Hosting SEO support

“I have worked with Sasanka on a few projects and I have been very happy about the results.”

Jules Aknin, Co-founder
Taptpay home page as I delivered it: a café owner at the counter behind the headline “Are your transaction fees too high?”, a “Get Started” button, and the start of a card-terminal section below.
The version I delivered.

Payments · BYOD platform for small businesses

Taptpay

The first version of the business website.

Design Development Hosting

[QUOTE FROM TIM]

Tim Naughton, Director
Mauvais Quartier home page as I delivered it: a dim, warm photo of the bar with the panther logo, the line “Restaurant - Cocktail - Bar”, the name in large white type and a red “Organiser mon évènement” button.
The version I delivered.

Hospitality · French restaurant

Mauvais Quartier

The restaurant’s website. Came to me through Jules, after the Avangard work.

Design Development Hosting

“Sasanka handled everything, from the design to keeping the site running. Easy to work with, and we love the result.”

Mathias Aknin, Owner

Work that came by referral

I haven’t advertised. The work has spread by word of mouth, which is the clearest sign that clients were happy with it.

Pete and I also work together on personal projects. He introduced me to Jules and Tim because of my track record and how I work with people.

How I work with remote clients

COMMUNICATION

Clients saw the real site as it took shape, not static mock-ups. Because I design and build, feedback landed on working pages, early.

TIME ZONES

Australia runs 4½–5½ hours ahead of Colombo, so my mornings met their afternoons. For the UK, the overlap flips to my afternoons.

AFTER LAUNCH

I host the sites and support SEO, so nothing breaks after handover. Clients came back for more work and passed my name on.

A note on distance

Every project here was delivered remotely, across time zones. The referrals that followed say more about how that went than I can.

Based in Colombo, and able to work UK hours: around 1:30–6:30pm Sri Lanka time.
