Web solutions

for the discerning client

Hello, my name is Prathamesh Pai. I have been making websites of all sizes and shapes for the last 26 years. I'm endlessly fascinated by the Web and its underlying technologies as well as typography and colour science. I enjoy solving problems through design and programming. Have an interesting problem that needs to be solved?

Recent & featured work

Museum of Anatomy & Pathology, KMC Manipal

When KMC MAP - home to one of the largest collections of anatomical specimens in the world and a part of Manipal Academy of Higher Education / Manipal University - were looking for ways to go digital, I came up with the idea of having a website and a series of applications which could be used in education and for general information. This website is the first phase in a long process of going digital. I did the back-end and front-end programming in addition to the design.

It all comes down to this

* Jokes apart, the point I'm trying to make is that I have plenty of experience in these areas. I have been programming since 1993, creating websites and web applications as a hobby since 1999, and professionally since 2001. I have also been teaching since 2005.

Work philosophy
  • Innovation does not mean using the latest technology. I will use the latest framework/programming language/trends in my projects only if it makes sense in that context.
  • I believe in simple and effective solutions. Simplicity is harder than it appears.
  • I will only work on projects that I find interesting. If a project does not interest me, I will pass it over to someone who can do a better job than me for that project. So that means if I take up a project, I will give it my best.
  • No project is too small or too big as long as it is interesting. Sometimes the smallest ideas are the most innovative and the most fun to work on.
  • Most of my clients are long-standing, repeat customers who feel more like friends than clients as I tend to work with them over extended periods of time.
  • I try to keep my classes light and interactive, with lots of visuals and occasional detours, even when dealing with complex concepts

If all that sounds good to you, you will enjoy working with me. Get in touch and let's create something nice.
