I design and build it in Framer in about 2 to 4 weeks, so founders can edit it. I've built sites for Entvin (YC S22) and Zania.** ## What a first website has to do At seed stage, few people visit your site, and most arrive because a founder sent them: an investor, a design partner, a prospect after a call. The site confirms what they heard and gives them one obvious next step. Ranking for fifty keywords can wait. So spend on a clear headline, real product screens and two or three proof points, not custom 3D or a blog with no posts. Entvin's site started with positioning and product storytelling (who it's for, what changes for them) before any visual work. ## The page set I usually start with | Page | Its one job | Can wait? | | --- | --- | --- | | Home | Say what you do and for whom in one screen, then prove it | No | | Product or how it works | Show the product doing the thing, with real screens | No | | Demo, trial or waitlist | One form, short, with what happens after submitting | No | | Pricing | Even 'Contact us' with plan shapes beats no page | Sometimes | | About / company | Who's behind it; investors and design partners care | Sometimes | | Blog, careers, changelog | Useful later, empty pages look worse than none | Yes | I still set up the CMS and templates for the pages that can wait, so adding a blog later is a content job rather than a design project. ## Why I build it in Framer Your positioning will change twice this year. In Framer, a founder or the first marketer can edit text, swap a logo or duplicate a page without a developer, and the site stays fast. I'm an official Framer Expert, and I designed and built Zania's site in Framer end to end. ![Zania homepage section Introducing Zania: The AI That Executes Your GRC, beside a sample agent result for an access-credentials control with Status FAIL, Confidence HIGH, observations, gaps and recommendations](https://www.utkarshdesign.com/images/web/zania-home-output.webp) _Screenshot: zania.ai, October 2026, a site I designed and built in Framer. The homepage shows a real sample of the product's output instead of describing it._ Search basics go in from day one: one topic per page, real headings, clean URLs, metadata and a sitemap. They cost almost nothing at launch and a lot to retrofit, which I learned restructuring xPay's Framer pages (the Framer SEO guide has that story). ## What you get, and how the weeks go - A positioning one-liner and page map, agreed before design. - Wireframes with your real copy, then the visual design for desktop and mobile. - A light visual identity (type, colour, a few components) if you don't have a brand yet. - The site built and published in Framer, with forms, analytics and SEO settings. - A handover session so you can edit, add pages and publish on your own. 1. **Week 1: positioning and page map**: One working session with the founders, then the one-liner and page list. If the founders disagree on who the customer is, it comes out here. 2. **Week 2: wireframes and design**: Homepage first, since it settles the tone. The other pages follow faster. 3. **Weeks 3 to 4: build, review, launch**: I build on a Framer staging link, you get one review round, then I connect the domain and the site goes live. Four pages with an existing brand take about two weeks. A new identity or a bigger product page pushes it to four. ## Work and proof [entvin.com (live)](https://entvin.com/): SaaS website for Entvin (YC S22), from positioning and product storytelling to conversion-focused flows. [zania.ai (live)](https://zania.ai/): Designed and developed end to end in Framer, from structure to production deployment. > Utkarsh iterates fast, asks the right questions, and delivers polished results in days. The final output exceeded expectations. > (Pranav Karthik Nagesh, Co-Founder, DawnBreak AI (ex-Google, Amazon)) I've also designed for xPay (YC W24), HelpNow (YC W20, since closed), OceanFriends and Bold Finance, 15+ brands in all. Since June 2024 I've been founding designer at CodeAnt AI, designing the website alongside the product. ## When to wait, or go elsewhere If you're pre-product and only need an email capture, a Framer template and an afternoon will do. A web app with logins is product engineering, which is a different job from a marketing site. And if you already have a site with traffic and rankings, a redesign that protects them is its own project. To start, email work@utkarshdesign.com with a line on what you do, who buys it, and the action you want visitors to take. ## Questions people ask ### How much does a startup website cost? Mostly on page count, whether you need a visual identity, and who writes the copy. My Framer websites (5 to 8 pages) start from $3,500 and a single landing page from $1,000; the full list is on my pricing page, and the final quote depends on scope. ### How many pages does a startup website need? Usually four to six: home, product or how it works, a demo or trial page, pricing, and about. Add a blog or careers page when you have something to put on it. ### Can we edit the website ourselves after launch? Yes, that's the main reason I build in Framer. You get a handover session, and the site is built from components, so a new page is usually a duplicate of an existing one. ### Do we need a brand before the website? No. I can set up a light identity (type, colour, a few components) as part of the site, and a fuller brand can come later. ### Is the site set up for SEO? Yes, the basics: one topic per page, a proper heading structure, clean URLs, metadata, a sitemap and fast pages. Content strategy is a separate job. ## Sources 1.
