Would you like to hire our designer to build your website?
The nicest designer in the world could be yours.
Amanpreet Daloa built our beautiful website, which you can admire here:
We found Amanpreet after trying everything else. Vivek and I first hired a well-known company that specialized in making websites for journalists. They sounded good and offered us what seemed like a reasonable deal, but after several months the site still wasn’t ready, and it was becoming clear that it would never be anything like the site we had in mind. Whenever we asked, “Would it be possible to do this,” their reflexive answer was always, “No, that’s impossible.”
Frustrated, we decided we’d just build the site ourselves. That was easier said than done. We quickly realized we didn’t have the technical skills, and worse, that we had no aptitude for acquiring them.
By this point, we were way behind on our timeline and we looked like idiots, because we’d repeatedly told everyone the website was “almost ready.”
In frantic desperation, we put a “Help Wanted” sign on Upwork, saying we were looking for a Wordpress developer to guide us through the process. Hundreds of people answered, and most of them sounded very qualified. We weren’t sure how to choose, and really, we mostly chose Amanpreet—who lives in Chandigarh— because his name was first on the list. He told us he had a “passion for website development” and wanted to make all of our problems go away, but we discounted that. I mean, who has a passion for website development?
Well, Amanpreet does. He really does. Like Dante for Beatrice. Like Catullus for Lesbia.
… My sweetest Wordpress, let us live and love;
And though the sager sort our deeds reprove,
Let us not weigh them. Heaven’s great lamps do dive
Into their west, and straight again revive,
But soon as once is set our little light,
Then must we sleep one ever-during night.
Amanpreet loves website development. And he lives to make his customers’ problems disappear. If you’re building a website—and especially if, like ours, it needs a lot of unusual, custom-built features—you need Amanpreet. Amanpreet is the designer who says, “Yes!” When we ask, “Can we make that font in the corner there maybe .352 percent smaller, and … you know, rounder?” He says, “Yes!” as if he’s been waiting his whole life to be asked, even if it's the fifteenth time we’ve changed our minds about that font. When we ask, “Do you think we could build something that automatically translates foreign language news,” he says, “Yes!”—and with no further guidance, builds us exactly the feature we imagined.
His enthusiasm is infectious, and with Amanpreet along for the ride, everyone’s morale has been lifted. We initially thought we’d hire someone to guide us through the process of setting up the site and then never speak to them again. But we soon realized that we couldn’t imagine the Cosmopolitan Globalist without Amanpreet, so he’s now a permanent part of our team.
But alas, largely because he does his work so well, we don’t have enough work for him.
Amanpreet recently became engaged to be married. (Congratulations again, Amanpreet! Your beautiful bride is very lucky!) He needs new clients so he can begin his married life on a firm financial footing.
I figure that surely, among our readers, there must be people who need to build or upgrade their websites. If that’s you, Amanpreet is your man. (And if you’re not seeking to build or upgrade your website, why not? You can’t have a business without a website in the 21st century, and your website could always be better, right?)
Amanpreet lives in India, but the time difference is no obstacle if you live somewhere else. No matter what you need, day or night, he’ll be there for you.
You can reach him through his website, and when you read it, keep in mind that none of those promises are just for marketing: He means every word.
He does come with one caveat, though. If you’re not unfailingly kind to him, we will hunt you down and punish you.
Please share this with anyone you know who might need Amanpreet. We’re absolutely persuaded that this is everyone.

I wish I’d known him when I had my bookstore. I must’ve killed more webmasters than Cecil B. DeMille.
