Amanti Melkamu
Brand, web, software.
One person, no handoff.
Clear scopes, clear prices, and one point of contact for growing businesses that have outgrown templates and spreadsheets.
Fortune 500 taste. Startup speed.
Three things, any combination
Most clients need two of these. Some need all three. You get them from one brain instead of a committee.
Brand
Logo, identity system, color, type, and guidelines. The look that lets a growing company stand next to the big names without flinching.
Web
Marketing sites and landing pages built in code — not templates. Fast, responsive, and tuned to turn visitors into leads.
Software
Real applications with real backends — dashboards, internal tools, customer portals. The thing your spreadsheet was pretending to be.
Clear scopes, clear prices
Starting prices for the most common engagements. Every project gets a fixed quote after a short call — you'll never get billed by the hour for a surprise.

How a project runs
Four phases, one person through all of them.
Discovery
We align on the goal, the audience, and the scope. You get a clear proposal and a fixed price — no surprises.
Design
Strategy, structure, then high-fidelity design. You review and we lock the direction before a line of code is written.
Build
I build the approved design in code — the same person who designed it. No handoff, nothing lost in translation.
Launch
We ship it live, connect your systems, and I show you how to run it. Ongoing support is there if you want it.
The case for one person
One person, no handoff
The designer and the developer are the same person. No coordination tax, nothing lost between the Figma and the build.
Fortune 500 taste
Five years at EY designing billion-dollar pursuits for Pacific Life, MetLife, and Truist. Elite was the baseline, not the goal.
Startup speed
An AI-assisted workflow ships in weeks, not months. Northline went from spreadsheets to a real-time platform in four.
Full range, one bill
Brand, web, and software from a single engagement. Hire me for one scope or all three — you get one coherent result.
The usual questions
How do payments work?
A 50% deposit books the work and the remainder is due at launch. Larger software projects are split into milestones. Everything is covered by a simple agreement up front.
Do you use templates?
No. Sites are designed from scratch and built in code (Next.js). That's why they're fast, custom, and easy to grow into.
How long does it take?
A landing page can be days. A full website is typically 3–6 weeks. Custom software depends on scope — but think weeks, not quarters.
What if I only need one thing?
That's fine. Pick a single scope — just a brand, just a site, just an app — or combine them. The pricing above is modular.
Who owns the work?
You do. On final payment, the brand, the site, and the code are yours, with the files and access to match.
Do you stick around after launch?
Yes. Care & support starts at $500/mo for ongoing updates and fixes, or you can reach out ad-hoc. I don't ghost.
Got a brand problem? A software problem? Both?
If you can describe the problem, I can design the solution and ship it. Tell me what you're working on and I'll come back with a plan.
