Selected work · 202612 projects

Sites that feel like the place they come from.

Every one of these was built on HimLocal — the platform I'm building for the cafés, shops, stays and guides of the mountains. Each one takes over this page in its own colours. The last three are design studies.

Sapna Bakers

Cake shop & café · Akhara Bazaar, Kullu · 2026 · In progress

Travel company · Aleo, Manali · 2026

A travel company's whole brochure online: Shimla–Manali tours, Spiti and Ladakh, treks and bike trips, with activities you can book on the spot.

What sits underneath

Not just websites. The whole machine behind them.

The sites are the part you see. Underneath is one platform, built from scratch, that runs the businesses day to day.

  • 324dishes on one café's menu

    Restaurant POS, kitchen tickets and bills

    Orders, tables, KOTs to the kitchen printer, GST bills — what the cafés of the valley run their day on.

  • Kitchen display

    Every order walks from new to cooking to ready.

  • WhatsApp, built in

    Order updates and enquiries on WhatsApp — a business connects its own number in a minute.

  • 32destination guides

    Our own map of the mountains

    Trails, treks and places on vector tiles, with guides for every valley.

  • Works without the internet

    The counter keeps billing when the network drops, then syncs.

  • QR menus and table ordering

    Scan, order, pay — straight to the kitchen.

  • 100+sections

    One theme builder

    Every site on this page was made in it. Each section explains itself before you add it.

  • Reels from the content

    Travel pages become Instagram reels and carousels.

  • Ships after midnight

    Tested and deployed at night, so no café ever notices.

About

From Kullu. Building the software the mountains run on.

I'm Sourabh. I started HimLocal so that a café in Old Manali, a weaver in Kibber or a trek guide in Dobhi can have what a big brand has — a beautiful site, a proper till, bookings, WhatsApp — without a big brand's budget.

I design and build most of it myself: the storefronts, the restaurant system, the map, the travel guides. Everything on this page is real and running.
