Website & social media · Ullal, Dakshina Kannada
Websites, online stores and social media for Ullal's seafood sellers, builders and beach-side businesses, made for walk-in customers and for families abroad. We work from Udupi and meet you in Ullal or Thokkottu.
In short
Whirl Designs builds websites, online stores and social media plans for Ullal businesses. We are based in Udupi and travel to meet owners in person, at their shop, site or home. Most work here is for fish and seafood sellers, builders and property agents, beach-side cafés and stays, and services used by families working in the Gulf. WhatsApp is usually the main contact route.
Ullal's trades
Ullal sits just south of Mangaluru, across the Netravati river, with a large fishing community, Someshwara beach and many homes supported by work in the Gulf. That mix means a business here often sells to a buyer at the door and a buyer abroad on the same day. Each trade below needs something slightly different.
Needs: A simple way for city buyers to order the day's catch
Needs: Honest progress updates for buyers who live abroad
Needs: Weekend visitors from Mangaluru finding you on the map
Needs: Clear details a relative abroad can act on at night
Many Ullal businesses need a good Google listing and a WhatsApp button before they need a full website. If that is you, we will start there.
What we build
Start small and add pieces as orders and enquiries grow.
Our work
Nothing we have built so far is for an Ullal business. The nearest examples are in Udupi and Karkala, for businesses that also sell to walk-in customers and to people who find them on a phone.
Avi's Events in Udupi has a gallery-led site with the enquiry reachable from every screen, built to load fast on mobile data. Padmavathi Tours, also in Udupi, sends each enquiry straight to the owner's phone. Jayalaxmi Jewellers in Karkala sends WhatsApp receipts and reminders from its own system, using approved message templates.

How it works
Most owners here run the business from a phone, so we keep the process on the phone too, with a few visits where they help.
Tell us what you sell and who buys it. We ask a few questions and arrange to meet you at your shop, site or home in Ullal or Thokkottu.
You get a short written plan: the pages or store you need, the social accounts to run, the photos and videos we will take, and when each part will be ready.
We photograph the real work, from the day's catch to the current floor of a building, and build in stages. You check each stage on your phone and reply in Kannada or English.
Everything goes live under accounts in your name. We show your staff how to post a notice, add a product or change the timings themselves.
We stay on for fixes and changes, and look at which pages and posts brought enquiries, so the next round of work goes where it helps.
Questions
Yes. We write the details plainly, so a relative abroad can decide without phoning, make pages load quickly on a phone from anywhere, and put WhatsApp first, because that is how both groups reach you. The same page works for someone in Thokkottu deciding whether to drive over.
Yes, if the store matches what you can actually deliver. We set delivery areas, order cut-off times and stock that changes each day, and send each order to your phone. Many sellers start with a WhatsApp catalogue and a simple order page, then move to a full store once orders are steady.
Post dated photos and short videos from the site every week or two, on the project's page and on social media. Buyers abroad trust the actual slab more than a render. We set it up so your site engineer can post from a phone, and each update stays on the project page as a record.
Yes. We build pages and posts in Kannada, English or both, with Kannada text that stays readable on a phone. Times of Karkala, a news site we built, publishes daily in both languages. Which language to lead with depends on who buys from you.
Yes. We are based in Udupi and come to Ullal and Thokkottu for the first meeting, photo shoots and launch. The rest of the work runs on calls and WhatsApp, so you do not have to travel to us, though you are welcome to visit us in Udupi.
Either you or us. We can plan and produce the posts and reels for you, or set up a content calendar and show your staff how to run it. Every page and ad account stays in your name, so you can see every post and every result yourself.
