I build websites and platforms that do real work.

Selected work

Platforms, products and the sites that sell them.

Every project starts with someone's vision. Here is what each team set out to do, what I made with them, and where it led.

Yoga Unboxed

Built at The Wisdom Pearl

Vision

Bring a yoga documentary series to viewers everywhere, with episodes they can rent and watch online.

What I made

A video rental platform with smooth checkout, time-limited access, customer accounts and protected playback.

Impact

The series sells and streams from its own website, with rentals, payments and access handled automatically, without depending on a third-party streaming platform.

Brain-health education website

USA

About

A brain-health outreach startup founded by a neuroscientist and a psychiatrist.

Live now

A launch site that introduces the founders, their approach and what is coming, so they can start building partnerships.

Building

I'm building the full site, with a browser-based editor for pages, blog, events and programs. Each edit saves to GitHub and goes live on Cloudflare in about a minute, and the contact form runs on a Cloudflare Worker with spam protection.

A large company website with deep menus for services, hire-a-developer, industries and technologies, plus a portfolio, blog and enquiry forms throughout.

Prospects can find the exact service, industry or technology they need in a few clicks and send a project enquiry from any page.

Training operations platform

Product · in development

Vision

Give a growing Malaysian training company one place to run its programs and government-funded training claims.

Tamil hymnal web app

Designed & built solo

Vision

Put more than 850 Tamil hymns in every worshipper's pocket and on every church screen, even without internet.

What I made

An installable app with more than 850 songs from three hymnals:

• Works offline after one visit, and new or corrected songs update themselves.
• Church projection with a presenter view, clicker support and no PowerPoint needed.
• Service song lists shared by QR code or WhatsApp, with no accounts or personal data.
• Tamil and English lyrics with transliteration, and search that forgives spelling.
• Runs everywhere: Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac and Chromebook, plus the Microsoft Store.

Impact

A church can run its whole song service from one app: lyrics on the screen without internet or PowerPoint, and the congregation following the same song list on their phones.

Bigger builds

ERP systems, apps and custom software, with a full team.

For projects bigger than one person, I lead a dedicated development team based in India. You get the muscle of a full engineering team with the care of one person who knows your project inside out, from the first sketch to launch day and beyond.

1. Talk to me

   One person who answers, from the first call to launch.

2. Shape it together

   Scope, user flows and screens agreed before development starts.

3. We build

   My team develops and tests while I manage the work, with progress you can see.

4. Launch & support

   I manage delivery, handover and ongoing improvements.

Capabilities

One person across the whole build.

Process

How a project runs.

1. Plan

   Goals, users and the simplest structure that does the job.

2. Design

   Layouts and a visual system you approve before any build.

3. Build

   Clean, editable code, version-controlled from day one.

4. Ship & support

   Launch, hosting, handover and ongoing care.

I use AI tools to research and build faster. Every architecture decision, integration and line of code that ships is reviewed and owned by me.

About

From the camera to the codebase.

I'm Lokesh Richards. I started behind a broadcast camera at a national TV network in India, moved into the edit suite and production, and have been building for the web for more than 13 years.

Today I plan, design and build websites, platforms and media end to end, and I write the code myself. You work with one person who understands both the story and the build.

I'm also a gospel songwriter, which is why so much of my work serves churches and ministries.
