Web developer
Hi, I’m Joshua.
I design and develop websites for businesses and individuals, built to perform, grow, and stand the test of time.

JNR Builds
First-time builders get stuck on what fits together and what’s worth buying. JNR Builds answers both: pick a budget, get a compatible build, then swap any part and it tells you if something won’t fit.

Caribbean Creator Ventures
A discovery engine for the Caribbean: an interactive map of food, stays, attractions and events across 30 islands, with listings that islanders publish themselves.

What I Build With, And What I Care About
Here’s what I work with. React, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML and CSS with Tailwind on the front end. Node, Express, PHP and REST APIs behind it, with PostgreSQL or Supabase holding the data. WordPress, Kadence, JetEngine, MySQL, Astro and Hostinger when a client wants to run the site themselves. Figma, Git, GitHub and Vite every day. Plus the boring parts that matter: caching, schema, accessibility and Core Web Vitals.

Who Is Joshua Ramdhanie?
Joshua Ramdhanie, JRAM for short, is a web developer based in Trinidad and Tobago who designs and builds websites for businesses and individuals. I trained under my aunt, who has been designing and building websites for over thirty years, and I’ve been building websites for the past year and a half.
That apprenticeship is why I treat a site as a system, not a template: structure first, design second. I work across the stack, mostly in React, TypeScript, Node and WordPress, and I hand over sites that owners can run without me.
I also build every site to be read by machines as well as people. About two thirds of US Google searches now end without anyone clicking a result (68% in early 2026, according to SparkToro), so being the source an AI answer quotes matters more than sitting at the top of a list nobody scrolls. That’s built into every project rather than sold as an extra.
Both halves of the job: the interface you click, and the server, database and APIs running behind it.
Most quotes treat speed and findability as extras. I treat them as part of the build. I also hand the site over so you can run it yourself, which earns me less and serves you better.
I’m based in Trinidad and Tobago. I meet local clients in person and work with everyone else remotely. Sharing a time zone matters most when something breaks, which is usually when people start to value it.
I’m currently open to freelance builds, contract work and full-time roles.

Projects I’ve Worked On
A few recent projects and what I did on each. Open a panel to read more.

JNR Builds
First-time builders get stuck on what fits together and what’s worth buying. JNR Builds answers both: pick a budget, get a compatible build, then swap any part and it tells you if something won’t fit. I designed and built it on WordPress, including the custom plugins behind the part picker and its compatibility checks. It started life as a React app, and moving it to WordPress means search engines and AI tools can read every page without running JavaScript.

Caribbean Creator Ventures
A discovery engine for the Caribbean, with an interactive map of food, stays, attractions and events across 30 islands, listings that islanders can publish themselves, and learning academies covering everything from agriculture to marine and tech.

UDon Enterprises
UDon handles the engineering, the build and the landscaping on a single job, so the site had to make that one-company pitch obvious within seconds. I designed and built it. The blueprint drawings in the hero are drawn in code rather than loaded as images, so they stay sharp at any size and animate without slowing the page.

Ravalent
Ravalent finds industrial equipment, transport, vessels and contractors that are hard to source in Trinidad and Tobago. The site leads with how the service works, in six stages from request to confirmed arrangement, so clients know the sourcing fee comes before the search starts. I designed and built it.

Kinetix Shipping
Kinetix is a shipping platform rather than a carrier. It compares courier rates, opens up US and UK stores that will not ship here, quotes freight for pallets and containers, and tracks parcels once they move. The site has to explain all four of those in the first screen without sounding like a freight forwarder, so it leads with the four ways people actually use it. I designed and built it.

Stillval Services
Stillval takes marine waste off ships at anchorage and in port, repairs them alongside, and dives on them, out of San Fernando since 2011. Their buyers are port agents and ship owners whose first question is what the company is permitted to carry and where the waste legally ends up. I am rebuilding the site around those questions, and that work is still under way.

This spot is saved for a project that doesn’t exist yet. It might be the site your business has needed for years, or an idea you’ve been turning over for a while. Bring it to me and we’ll work out what it should be.

Common Questions
What clients usually ask before we start.
Something not covered here? Ask me directly and I’ll give you a straight answer.
Do You Build Affordable Websites?
Yes, and I’ll be upfront about what an affordable budget actually buys. Most quotes are padded with things you won’t need in the first year. I’d rather spend your money on the pages people read and the setup that gets you found, then leave everything else until your traffic justifies it. I’ll tell you which is which before you pay anything.
How Much Does A Website Cost?
It depends on what the site has to do, so every project gets its own quote. Page count is rarely the expensive part; complexity is. A ten-page brochure site can cost less to build than a three-page site that has to talk to your booking system. Tell me what you need and I’ll come back with a real figure and what’s driving it.
Will People Still Find Me On Google?
Yes, but Google isn’t just a list of links anymore. About two thirds of US Google searches now end without a click (68% in early 2026, according to SparkToro), and when an AI Overview appears, that rises to roughly 83%. Ranking on page one matters less than being the source the AI quotes. That takes a structure machines can read, plain answers near the top of each section, and schema that states exactly who you are. I build every site this way as standard.
Is SEO Still Worth Paying For?
Not in the form it was sold five years ago. Keyword stuffing, link buying and thin pages written for search engines are finished. What replaced them is duller and far more durable: being genuinely readable by machines. My honest view is that SEO didn’t die; it was absorbed. The label is outdated, but the underlying work matters more than ever, and I’d rather build it in from the start than sell it back to you as a monthly service.
How Long Does A Website Take To Build?
A small site usually takes a couple of weeks, and a full one closer to three or four. In my experience, the build itself almost never delays a project; waiting on content does. If your text and photos are ready when we start, you’ll probably be live sooner than you expect.
Do You Build Websites In Trinidad?
Yes. I’m based in Trinidad and Tobago, and I work with clients here as well as remotely. Being local matters more than it might sound. I know what a business here needs to show and which payment options customers will actually use, and I’m in your time zone when something goes wrong.
Who Do You Build Websites For?
Small businesses, startups and individuals. The clients I do my best work for know their business inside out and have never had a site that reflects it. If you already have a marketing team and a brand book, an agency is probably a better fit than I am, and I’ll tell you so on the first call.
Can You Fix Or Rebuild My Existing Site?
Yes. Send me the address and I’ll review it properly. More often than not, I recommend rebuilding rather than repairing, because patching a site on a poor foundation costs more over a year than starting again. If yours is worth saving, I’ll say so, which means a smaller job for me and a smaller invoice for you.
