Hello,
I'm Paras paa-ruhs
A multi-disciplinary frontend developer – with an eye for design – interested in all things web, and passionate about Webflow.
Also, love Pokemon and Philosophy.
Present
Mostly Webflow & Low-Code; Some WordPress
I've been running my own WordPress plugin venture Pixify (solo) since late 2018. There, I handle everything from strategy to development, design, sales, and support.
It's mostly running on autopilot, with some 10-20 hours per week being invested into it.
Primarily, <span>from the last 2 years, I build on Webflow</span>; most projects being in collaboration with other freelancers and agencies.
Over time, Webflow is what I've become pretty passionate about, as a platform for building on the web with speed and delight. Just the right amount of abstraction from code, and a lot of fun too!
Some of my Recent Webflow Work
Besides these shown below, I have also worked on several complex projects – including for an enterprise company – with different agencies, but all signed under an NDA, so can't share them.

Some Feedback from my collaborations
He was super easy to work with, friendly, and highly communicative throughout the entire project.”

Past
WordPress; Micro-SaaS'; Webflow
2015 – Blogger & HTML Templates; WordPress
Started my digital journey with blogging. Got interested in design and started tinkering around the HTML templates. Dived deeper into HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
2016 – Web Apps & SaaS; Intro to Webflow
Developed a few mini-web-apps – downloaders, calculators, and internal tools for my blogs (like one automatic image generator plugin). The notable one was a keyword research tool called Toolfeast, a SaaS built on top of WordPress, with over 6k registered users. All designed and developed solo.
Meanwhile, got to know about Webflow and started tinkering around.
2017-2020 – SaaS, WordPress plugins, no-code tools
I faced a problem with filtering and developed a WordPress plugin for it. Created another plugin for Elementor page builder to expand its capabilities with tools for designers (some inspired by Webflow).
Alongside, created a reddit-automation SaaS. In between, developed a couple of custom SPAs (Single Page Apps; JavaScript-based) for clients too.
And in the meanwhile, also got familiar with a bunch of no-code tools like Zapier, Integromat, Notion, Airtable, etc.
2020 – Got serious with Webflow
I've had quite an on-and-off relationship with Webflow. Following it since 2016, but only got serious about it since the last 2 years. In that time before, I'd get into the interface and play around at times, check out some blogs and videos about it, but that was about it.
It had always interested me as a very unique and flexible tool, but I have had been prioritizing all these other side projects and Pixify until 2020.
Desired Future
Creating more impact on the web; through Webflow and low-code
What I'm doing right now through Pixify and freelance projects makes me happy, and I now want to make a bigger impact; reach and provide greater value to more people.
I couldn't quite accomplish that by myself yet, so I'd like to join a like-minded team of people to make that happen.
Webflow is where a lot of my interests intersect – frontend development, design, web, and problem-solving. So, this is the direction I want to continue walking towards in the foreseeable future.
Technicals
Webflow, Figma, no-code tools, and the Web
Over the years, I've worked with a lot of tools and web technologies to aid in my different projects. Some relevant ones:
Working Together
Culture; Ownership; Impact
I've always been very interested and passionate about web, UX, development, and businesses.
Being authentic and transparent, having ownership of my work, and freedom to pitch in ideas/suggestions matters a lot. Besides that, a calm and asynchronous work culture, and a flexible schedule is also something that I highly prefer.
Paras-And-You
Having designed, developed, and launched multiple of my own web apps, a product venture solo, and lots of projects (with clients, agencies, and freelancers) across various domains (design, development, QA) over the years, I can bring in more than just the core Webflow skills – supporting no-code with low-code (custom JavaScript) when needed, crafting optimum solutions for the given problem.
All this that I've learnt and built so far has helped me become a self-starter, disciplined, and a highly communicative partner for work. And it's been through curiosity and the want to create more delightful experiences on the web.
