Websites & booking · Kumta, Uttara Kannada
For Kumta's homestays and beach stays, areca and coconut traders, fish sellers and town shops. Our studio is in Udupi, down the same coast. We write in Kannada and English and keep your pages quick on a phone.
In short
Yes. Whirl Designs, a small web and software studio down the coast in Udupi, works with Kumta businesses by phone, WhatsApp and visits when needed. We build websites for homestays and beach stays, areca and coconut traders, fish sellers and local shops, with pages in Kannada and English that load quickly on mobile data.
Kumta's trades
Kumta sits between areca and coconut gardens inland and a coastline that travellers keep finding, often after Gokarna. Most businesses here are small and owner-run. That can work in your favour online, if the pages are specific and quick.
Needs: Win the traveller who looked at Gokarna first
Needs: Clear records of lots, buyers and dispatches
Needs: Keep steady buyers, from kitchens to homestays
Needs: Correct hours, a phone number and a map pin
Not every Kumta business needs a big site. A homestay may need a handful of good pages; a shop may need only a correct listing. We will tell you which one you are.
What we build
Pick by the job, not by the name of the service. The reason each one suits Kumta is written next to it.
Our work
We have not built a website for a business in Kumta yet. Our closest travel work is Padmavathi Tours & Travels, a chauffeur-hire firm in Udupi. Its 190-page site answers the searches customers type, for every vehicle, route and town. It takes enquiries and alerts the owner at once. It is not a live booking engine, so a homestay calendar would be new work for us.
For a site that sells on photos, look at Avi's Events in Udupi. For Kannada text that stays readable on a phone, look at Times of Karkala, a daily news site in Kannada and English.

How it works
You will not need to come to Udupi. Most of the work happens on your phone.
Share your Google listing, Instagram or old site on WhatsApp. We look at what a traveller or buyer sees today and tell you what is missing, in Kannada or English.
You get a plan listing the pages, the photos, the fixes for your listing and the order we will do them in. Nothing starts until you agree.
Beach and room photos look very different in the monsoon. We plan the photo day and the launch for before the busy months, not in the middle of them.
Every page is checked on a mid-range Android phone on mobile data before it goes live, because that is how most of your visitors will see it.
We fix problems and make small changes after launch, and we show you how to update photos and room details yourself.
Questions
On its own name and its own town, yes. A guest who already knows your homestay, or who searches for a quiet stay near Kumta beach, can find your site. Real photos and a clear way to ask for dates let that guest deal with you directly. The big apps can still bring you other guests.
Yes, honestly and plainly. Many travellers decide on Gokarna first and then look for somewhere quieter nearby. A page that explains the route to you and what is different about staying in Kumta answers that exact search. We never write that you are in Gokarna when you are not.
Yes. We build the site on WordPress or with a simple editor made for your pages, and show you how to change photos, room details and notices from your phone. If you would rather not, send the change on WhatsApp and we will make it for you.
Not always. Many trade on long relationships and phone calls. A simple site helps when new buyers from outside the district want to check you before they call. A record system on a phone helps more when lots, weights and dispatches still live in notebooks. We will tell you which one would help.
No. Whirl Designs works from one studio, in Udupi. We handle Kumta projects over calls, video and WhatsApp, and plan a visit when it makes a real difference, such as a photo day or training your staff.
A small homestay site usually takes three to five weeks once the photos and text are ready. Photos are often what holds it up, so we plan the photo day early. A booking calendar or a Kannada version adds time, and the written plan will say how much.
