Website builders were the right call. Until they weren't.

I've spent 3+ years inside Webflow: building, migrating, and rescuing sites. I'll tell you honestly when a builder is still your best option. When it is, I build it for you, AI-first. When it isn't, I move you off it cleanly.

AI search changed how websites earn clicks
AI Search Changed the Scoreboard

Queries with AI Overviews show around 37% lower click-through. The sites still winning are the fast, structured, citable ones that AI engines quote as the answer.

AI builders raised the baseline for websites
AI Builders Changed the Floor

Lovable alone has around 8 million users generating sites daily. A template site is no longer a moat. Performance, content architecture, and AI integration are.

Website builder costs grow with your team
Builders Charge You for Growth

Per-seat pricing, CMS item limits, locked-in hosting. The bill grows exactly when you do, and your content stays in someone else's format.

How an Engagement Runs

[STEP-1]
Free 30-Minute Audit

You show me the site and the pain. I tell you honestly: stay, optimize, or migrate. If staying on your builder is the right answer, I say so and can do that work too.

[STEP-2]
Fixed Quote

Scope, timeline, and price in writing before work starts. No hourly meters, no surprise invoices.

[STEP-3]
Build

Weekly preview links so you watch the site take shape. You review real pages, not status reports.

[STEP-4]
SEO-Safe Launch

Launch protects what you have earned:

  • Every URL preserved or 301 mapped
  • Titles, descriptions, and schema carried over
  • Sitemap resubmitted and verified in Search Console

The boring work that protects your traffic, done before anything goes live.

[STEP-5]
Support

30 days of post-launch support included, with Search Console monitored the whole time. After that, a retainer from $550 per month if you want me around.

The Person You'd Actually Work With

I'm Sanjeewa Marukona, a certified Webflow developer and full-stack engineer based in Kandy, Sri Lanka, working with B2B teams across the US and EU. I've spent 3+ years building, migrating, and rescuing sites in Webflow, and I now build AI-first: Claude drives my Webflow work through the Webflow MCP, and my code projects ship on Astro and Next.js with Sanity or MDX. Solo by design. No account managers, no juniors, no handoffs. You talk to the person who writes the code.

FAQ

Q1. Do I need to leave Webflow?
Probably not. If your marketing team edits visually every day and the bills are sane, staying is the right call, and I offer full Webflow services, so I will happily build there. Migration pays off when costs, CMS limits, or performance start taxing growth. I tell you which side you're on in the free audit.
Q2. Will a migration hurt my SEO?
Not if it's done right. Botched migrations can lose a large share of traffic, so my process is built around URL parity: every URL preserved or 301 mapped, titles, descriptions, and schema carried over, sitemap resubmitted, and Search Console monitored for 30 days after launch.
Q3. Should I choose Astro or Next.js?
Astro for content and marketing sites: it ships almost no JavaScript, so pages load faster and hosting stays cheap. Next.js when you need app-like features such as auth, dashboards, or complex interactivity. I recommend one in the audit and explain why, and my full Astro vs Next.js comparison shows the reasoning.
Q4. What does a project cost?
Migration and custom build projects start at $1,250. Support retainers are $550 or $1,200 per month. Full ranges are on the pricing page, so you don't have to book a call to find out.
Q5. Where are you based and what hours do you work?
I'm based in Kandy, Sri Lanka, and most of my clients are B2B teams in the US and EU. I keep overlap hours with both regions, respond within 24 hours, and handle calls, demos, and delivery fully remote.
Q6. What types of businesses do you work with?
Mostly B2B startups, SaaS companies, design and marketing agencies, and personal brands that need fast, scalable websites. If you want a site that performs in search and is ready for AI, in Webflow or in code, that's my lane.

One Developer for Your Whole Stack: Webflow, Astro, Next.js, and AI

I design and build in Webflow, develop custom sites in Astro and Next.js, migrate between platforms without losing rankings, and add Claude-powered AI features that actually ship. Tell me what you're working on, and you'll have a plan and a fixed quote within 24 hours.
