INDEPENDENT WEB PRACTICE / WORKING WORLDWIDE
Good businesses
deserve to be understood.
I find what makes a local business worth choosing, then turn it into a website people can understand and trust.
Research, words, design and code — one continuous process.
01 / THE POINT
Looking good is only part of the job.
Customers need the right facts. Owners often hold the best details without realising it. I bring those together and make the next step clear.
- 01Get found
- 02Make sense
- 03Feel worth choosing
02 / APPROACH
Research first. Design second.
The shape of the site comes from the business—not from a template.

The redesign is complete and the technical gains are measured. Booking results stay blank until the site is approved, published and observed.

USHGULI, GEORGIA
Guesthouse Gamarjoba
PREVIEW · NOT YET LIVEView preview ↗
The current noindex preview, built around verified information and honest gaps.A website can disappear quietly when ownership and handover are not designed.
WHAT WE FOUND
The old domain had expired and the previous email no longer worked.
WHAT WE DECIDED
A static, zero-JavaScript site in a guesthouse-owned account, so the next handover is simpler.
WHAT STAYS BLANK
Contact details, room facts and missing photographs remain unguessed until Mamuka confirms them.

CURRENT STATUS
The preview is available, but the enquiry path is not complete. Owner confirmation, a working contact route and real room photographs are still required before launch.
05 / REMOTE, NOT DISTANT
Far away doesn’t have to mean hands-off.
Conversation, a guided smartphone survey and careful desk research bring the place into the project.

A site made for this business

Measurement and handover make the launch a starting point, not the end.
07 / ABOUT
Hi, I’m Shosuke.
I travel, make apps and films, write, and build websites. Working across different forms has taught me to notice the small details that give a place its character—and to make them clear to someone seeing it for the first time.
