VII · Questions
Straight answers.
What does Gatehouse do?
Gatehouse is an independent UI/UX, web and brand studio founded by Hiran Anuraja. It helps founders and businesses solve product problems, design apps and websites, build custom-coded sites, and keep their brand consistent — including content made with AI tools.
How much does a website cost?
Custom website design and build starts from $1,000. Brand identity starts from $5,000, UX & brand audits from $600, and Product Clarity Sprints from $1,500. Every project gets a clear quote after a free 20-minute call.
Do you work with international clients?
Yes. Gatehouse is based in Sri Lanka (GMT+5:30) and works remotely with clients in the US, UK, Europe and worldwide, with overlap for calls in most time zones. On-site work is available on request.
Why can't I see all your projects?
I've delivered 50+ projects, and most of them — especially banking, fintech and enterprise products — are protected by NDAs. The projects shown here share public-level details with full credit to the companies that own them. I'm happy to walk you through more on a call.
How do you use AI in your work?
AI speeds up research, exploration and coding, so clients get more options in less time. Every decision is still made and checked by a human designer, and brand rules keep AI-generated work on-brand.
What happens on the free 20-minute call?
You explain your goal or problem, I ask a few focused questions, and you leave with a clear next step — whether or not we work together.
Do you use templates or WordPress?
No. Every website is designed and coded from scratch, so it is faster, easier to maintain and unique to your brand.
