Take a break
Floor it.
Steer with your mouse, finger or arrow keys (up to speed up, down to brake). Skim past traffic for combos, grab N for nitro and S for a shield, and watch out for oil.
Road Racer
Three lives. Four zones. Nitro, shields and oil slicks. How far can you go?
Process
From sketch to daily use.
Four stages, each one shown with a real project, not a stock diagram.
Eyvro · version one
Start small, learn fast
Version one is rough on purpose. Eyvro’s first version looked polished, but it was a showcase, not a store. That told me exactly what to build next.

Wire it to reality
Real data, a real backend, real errors. Finding them early, one by one, is how a design turns into software that works.

Design and build as one
One person takes the layout all the way to finished software, so nothing is lost between the design and the code.

Ship, then keep fixing
Live is where the real work starts. ContentCal is used every day by about ten people, and each feature came from watching how they actually work.

How I work
Three habits.
01Find the problem
Watch how the work really happens.
02Build the system
The whole flow, not just the page.
03Keep iterating
Ship, watch real use, fix the next bottleneck.

FAQ
Common questions.
Who am I?
I'm Kartik Saxena, a web developer and product builder in India and the founder of Da Design. I build websites, web apps and SaaS products, and handle the design, video and automation around them.
What do I build?
Websites, web apps and SaaS products with the backend, payments and integrations they need, plus the brand design, video and automation around them. Recent work: ContentCal, a marketing platform used daily by a team; Valley of Flavours, a canteen ordering SaaS with a paying client; the Eyvro optical store; and AutoThrust India, an AI news site.
Do I work with clients outside India?
Yes. I already work remotely for Concept Dash, a Canada-based engineering firm, where I built its website and its marketing platform. I work to India Standard Time (GMT+5:30), Monday to Friday, 10:00-19:00 IST, which overlaps the working day in the UK, Europe and the Gulf, and most communication runs async.
How does a project start?
Use the "Let's work together" form on this site: pick the services, get an indicative ballpark, add a short brief. Then a short scoping conversation and milestone-based delivery. Fixed-price website packages are listed on the services page.
Can I be hired full-time?
Yes. Kartik Saxena is open to full-time remote roles as well as contract work and retainers. The contact page has a two-step form for hiring enquiries, with no pricing questions.
Why hire one person instead of several specialists?
Because the handoffs between specialists are where time and intent leak. On my projects the person who finds the problem also designs the fix, builds it and ships it, so nothing is re-explained between a designer, a developer and an editor.
How can you reach me?
Email Kartik Saxena at karrtiksaxena@gmail.com, use the enquiry form on the site, or find Da Design on Google. Enquiries are answered Monday to Friday, 10:00-19:00 IST.
