About Akhil Mansoor
Web developer in Calicut
I build websites, Shopify stores, and the search setup around them for businesses in Kozhikode, Kerala, the GCC, and the UK.
Hi, I'm Akhil Mansoor
Founder of defau, based in Calicut, Kerala. On this site, you hire me directly.
I started building sites after watching businesses with a real product stay invisible online. The website was missing, or it existed and nobody could find it. I build the site, then the search setup, so people can find it and know what to do next.
The published work is restaurants, manufacturers, clinics, stores, and personal brands across Kerala, the GCC, and the UK. See the work.
From the brief to a live URL
A short list. The business, the site, the search setup, and a URL you can open.
Who it is for, and what a visitor should do on the first screen.
Pages and a design that match the brand. Custom, Shopify, WordPress, or a landing page, depending on the job.
Titles, descriptions, and a structure so the site can be found after launch.
Landing pages have gone live in 48 hours. Full sites in about 5 days, once the words and photos are ready.
The journey
After my BCA, I worked as a Business Development Executive, in trading, and as an Operational Head. Each role made the same thing obvious: a business can be real and still be hard to find.
defau is the studio I built in Calicut to fix that. A website, then the search setup around it. I take the project on myself.
"I didn't want a site that only looked finished. I wanted one people could find, and know what to do next."
If you need a web developer in Calicut for a new website, a Shopify store, or the SEO that helps that site get found, that is the work. The services are listed on the services page.
What the build includes
The first screen
What the business is, and what the visitor should do next. A menu, a booking, a product, or a message.
A page that works on a phone
Most people will open the site on a phone. The layout has to still make sense there.
Search after launch
Titles and a structure so the new site can be found. Belagavi Proteins saw organic traffic rise 128% in 90 days.
A URL you can send
The Instagram bio and the WhatsApp chat need somewhere to send a person. That page is the site.
Yes. I'm based in Calicut and work with businesses across Kerala, and with clients in the GCC and the UK. Calls happen online.
Websites, Shopify stores, landing pages, WordPress when you need to edit the pages yourself, and the SEO that helps the site get found.
Landing pages have gone live in 48 hours. Full websites in about 5 days, once the words and photos are ready. A new project usually starts within one to two weeks.
