About the studio
25+ years of living through the web — now working for Hubli-Dharwad
Hubli.net Web Design is built on first-hand experience with websites, search and SEO that began in 2001, long before today's internet existed, and on eleven years of professional work in Bangalore with some genuinely demanding brands.
It started in 2001
A college website, built on Yahoo GeoCities
I got into the world of websites and SEO accidentally, in 2001, during the first year of my Diploma in Instrumentation Technology. I was asked to create a simple website for my college. I built it on Yahoo GeoCities — no custom domain name, no hosting account of my own. That experience taught me a great deal, and it got me hooked to the internet.
Imagine the internet without YouTube and social media. Google was still in its early days and most people hardly knew about it. I learned web design mostly from books. The concept of SEO was so new that the word people used back then was “Webmaster”.
That was the beginning of the journey. In short: I have been in this space almost from the start, and have lived through, worked through and survived every major technological shift since.
Eleven years in Bangalore
Search, architecture and digital marketing, at scale
Over eleven years of professional work in Bangalore, I had the chance to work with companies where search traffic and website architecture were business critical — global consumer brands, security software, large ecommerce, networking and agency environments.
The roles changed, but the questions stayed the same: how do people find a business, what makes them stay, and what makes them act.

Experience & recognition
Milestones along the way
India Brand Icon 2020
Receiving India Brand Icon 2020 from Miss Universe Lara Dutta
The award was organised by Time Cyber Media. It is a professional milestone and a recognition moment — not a technical certification, and we do not present it as one.
LinkedIn skill badge
Search Engine Optimization — top 5% of 1.3 million who took the assessment
A small, verifiable data point about how the SEO side of this work is approached. Search visibility is part of how we build websites, not a service bolted on afterwards.
Back home
Bringing that experience to Hubli-Dharwad
We are now bringing that rich, first-hand experience to the Hubli-Dharwad region, so that local businesses can benefit from it directly — the same thinking about structure, performance, search and conversion that larger brands pay a great deal for.
We also build and run Hubli.net, a local discovery platform for Hubli-Dharwad. Operating a search-driven product every day keeps us honest about what actually makes a local website get found: clean structure, real content, honest information, and pages that load quickly on an average phone and an average connection.

Share what your business does and what you want the website to achieve. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right studio for it.
