Meet the founder

Hi, I'm Guru Prasad Y.

I'm the founder of BuildWithGuru, based in Bengaluru, India. I design and build every website myself, so you deal with one person from your first message to launch.

I also build and publish my own WordPress software. The free plugins on this site are public on WordPress.org, so anyone can inspect them, and that is the clearest evidence of how I work that I can offer.

Things we have built and published

These are real, public products. We have not yet published client case studies, so we do not show any.

How we work

You talk to the person doing the work

BuildWithGuru is a founder-led studio, not a large agency. Your questions go straight to the person designing and building your site, so decisions are quick and nothing gets lost in a handover.

We write the scope down

Pages, features, revision rounds, exclusions and costs go into a proposal before any payment. If it is not written, it is not assumed.

We say what we cannot promise

We do not guarantee Google rankings or sales, and we will tell you plainly when something is outside our control or outside our experience.

We only show work that is real

Our portfolio separates real projects from original demonstration concepts, and labels each one. We do not invent clients, reviews or results.

You own what you pay for

Your domain, hosting and WordPress login stay in your name, and you are never locked in to us.

Straight talk

What we are not

Knowing what a studio will not promise is as useful as knowing what it will.

  • Not a large agency

    We are a small studio, and we say so. You deal with the person doing the work.

  • Not a ranking or sales guarantee

    Websites help; they do not promise outcomes.

  • Not a source of fake proof

    No fake reviews, invented awards or borrowed client logos. Ever.

  • Not an ad agency

    We build the website and set up tracking. We do not manage ad campaigns.
