Website & software · Shirva, Udupi district
We build websites and software for Shirva's schools, builders, farms and the services families abroad rely on. Our studio is in Udupi, so we meet you in Shirva and set calls at hours that suit relatives in the Gulf.
In short
Whirl Designs, a web and software studio in Udupi, builds websites and software for Shirva businesses and meets owners there in person. We work with schools and colleges, builders, areca farms and services used by families in the Gulf. Pages load on slow connections, come in Kannada and English, and send enquiries to WhatsApp so a relative abroad can ask at any hour.
Shirva's trades
Shirva's money comes from two places: the land, and families working in the Gulf. So a parent choosing a school, or a son planning a house for his parents, is often reading your page from Dubai or Doha late at night. They cannot drop in to ask. Each trade below needs a site that answers them in writing.
Needs: Notices, results and admissions parents read on a phone
Needs: Progress a family abroad can follow without visiting
Needs: Trust earned before the first call, across time zones
Needs: A correct map listing, and simple records if you need them
Not every business here needs all of this. A small farm may only need its map listing fixed, and we will tell you when that is enough.
What we build
Picked for the trades above. Most Shirva clients start with the first one or two.
Our work
We have not built a website or system for a Shirva business yet, and we would rather say so than hint otherwise. What we can show is real work nearby in Udupi district, and in construction.
The site we built for Padmavathi Tours, who hire out chauffeur-driven cars in Udupi, is planned around what its customers search for, and sends each enquiry to the owner's phone the moment it arrives. Rebar, our construction ERP, handles site-wise consumption and sub-contractor billing for steel contractors. Times of Karkala publishes every day in Kannada and English through an editor workflow, which is close to what a school office does with notices.

How it works
The person who decides is often in two places at once: here, and on a phone abroad. We plan for both.
We come to your school office, shop or site for the first talk, in Kannada or English. If the decision-maker lives in the Gulf, we set a video call at an hour that suits them.
You get a short document listing each page or screen, what we will leave out, and what you need to send us. It is easy to forward to family on WhatsApp.
Each part goes on a private link as soon as it is ready. You and your relatives abroad check it on your own phones and send changes.
We connect the domain, set up your map listing, and show office staff how to post a notice or add photos themselves.
Updates, backups and small changes stay with us. When something breaks, you message the same people who built it.
Questions
Yes. Many Shirva projects are decided by someone abroad, so we share every draft as a link that opens on any phone, and we set calls for evenings in the Gulf. A family member here can meet us in person while the decision-maker follows along on WhatsApp.
Yes. We build school sites so office staff can post notices, results and event photos themselves after a short training session. The editing screens are kept simple, and we stay on call for the rare job that needs a developer.
Most small schools need a good website first. Software makes sense when admissions, attendance and parent messages are spread across registers and phones, and staff keep doing the same work twice. We look at how your office runs before suggesting either, and we say plainly if a website is enough.
Usually both. Parents and grandparents here often prefer Kannada, while children and relatives abroad often read English. We can build both versions so each reader picks one, with the Kannada set as real text rather than pasted in as pictures, so it stays sharp and searchable.
A clear builder's website usually takes four to eight weeks from the written plan to going live. The time depends on how many projects you list, whether photos and plans are ready, and whether you want an enquiry list with follow-up reminders built in.
Either works. Our only studio is in Udupi, and we are glad to come to Shirva for the first meeting and at key stages. Some clients prefer to visit the studio instead. Between meetings we work over calls, email and WhatsApp.
