I'm Sohail Rana — a Next.js and Sanity developer for startups, SaaS teams, and agencies. I move sites off restrictive builders and AI-generated code onto clean, hand-coded architecture your team owns outright.
Real client projects — migrations, CMS builds, and custom integrations, each one designed in Figma and hand-coded end to end.

One person across the whole pipeline — content model, design, front end, and the migration that gets you there.
Your content modelled properly and wired into Sanity, so your team edits pages, posts, and case studies without touching code — while the front end stays a fast, hand-coded Next.js app.
Moving off a slow, restrictive website builder onto code you own. Content, URLs, and search rankings come across intact — you keep the traffic and lose the subscription and the ceiling.
Sites shipped out of an AI app builder look fine until something needs to change. I rebuild them as clean, readable React or Next.js that you — or any developer you hire next — can actually maintain.
Booking flows, payments, CRM hooks, live data. Third-party services wired into your front end properly, so they match your brand instead of sitting in a mismatched embedded widget.
Already have a React or Next.js codebase? I come in for the piece you need — a page template, a new section, a design-system component — following the conventions your team already uses.
For founders and consultants who want to run their own site. Designed in Figma first, then built in Framer so you can edit copy and pages yourself, with no developer in the loop.
Most sites break at the seams — between the design file, the build, and the CMS behind it. Mine don't, because I own all three.
I spent three years as a Frontend Engineer & Designer at Dutrow LLC, designing and shipping websites for clients across industries — over fifty sites passed through my hands in that time. That's where the two crafts fused: every design decision made knowing how it will be built, every line of code written knowing why the design looks the way it does.
Now I work directly with founders, product teams, and agencies — mostly Next.js and Sanity builds, and getting sites off platforms that have stopped fitting. You deal with one person who owns the whole result: the content model, the design, the front end, and the migration that gets you there. No templates, no page builders, no telephone game.
A process built to remove surprises — you approve the design before development starts, and you leave owning the code.
We start with what the site actually has to do and what's holding it back — the platform, the content model, the code someone else left behind. Sometimes the right answer is smaller than the brief.
Every page is designed around your brand and approved by you before development starts. No surprises at delivery — you've already seen exactly what you're getting.
The approved design, hand-coded as a fast, responsive front end with content modelled in Sanity. Because I designed it, nothing gets lost in translation between designer and developer.
Content moved across, redirects mapped, deployed and tested on real devices — then handed to you in your own repo. You own the code, the content, and the hosting. No lock-in, no retainer required.
