Subek Agarwal & Associates — Website
From zero to live — a full production deployment, solo.
What
A complete business website for Subek Agarwal & Associates, a Chartered Accountancy firm based in Mysuru. The site showcases the firm's services and contact information and is fully live in production.
Why
The firm had no digital presence. In an era where clients search for CA firms online before making contact, the absence of a website was a real business liability. I was brought in to fix that — from design to deployment.
How I built it
Designed and developed the full site using Django for the backend and plain HTML/CSS/JS for the frontend templates.
Set up the GoDaddy shared hosting environment — created the hosting account, configured the cPanel Python app, and set up the directory structure.
Configured DNS records (A records, CNAME, MX records) and nameservers to point the custom domain to the hosting server.
Installed and activated an SSL certificate for HTTPS — configured auto-redirect from HTTP.
Managed Git-based version control for deployment — pushing changes from local to the live server.
Configured subdomains and email routing via MX records for professional firm email addresses.
Handled DNS propagation monitoring and resolved caching issues during go-live.
Challenges
GoDaddy shared hosting has strict limitations on Python/Django apps — required careful configuration of the WSGI entry point and virtual environment.
DNS propagation delays made testing the live site non-trivial during the go-live window.
SSL configuration on shared hosting required manual certificate installation rather than a one-click solution.
Outcome
The site launched successfully and is fully operational at subekassociates.com. This project gave me deep, hands-on experience with the full deployment lifecycle — infrastructure, networking, and server management — that most developers only read about.
