Ali Topashev · Independent web developer
I design and build fast, multilingual websites for businesses in Kazakhstan and abroad, from the first sketch to a live domain.

Alma means apple. Almaty takes its name from it.
01Work
My strongest concept sites: the idea, design and code of each are mine. They show how I think and build, not client results. Work for real clients follows, then the full catalogue.
Featured
Comb the hair. Each salon lights up only while it’s open.
A concept site for a salon chain in six cities. You can comb the hair on the home page, prices appear in local currency, and each salon’s window is lit only while it is open.
Role Idea, design and code
One 3D house carries the whole job, from the hailstorm to the walk-through.
A concept site for a roofing company in Central Texas. One 3D house follows the whole job as you scroll, from the hailstorm that breaks the roof to the final walk-through.
Role Idea, design and code
Scroll down a borehole to the hot spring 2,350 metres below.
A concept site for a thermal sanatorium in the mountains above Almaty. Scrolling takes you down a borehole drawn in code to the hot spring 2,350 metres underground.
Role Idea, design and code
Tap the tooth that hurts and get a first step and a price.
A concept site for a dental clinic in Kazakhstan, in three languages. Tap the tooth that bothers you to get a starting point for treatment, a price in tenge and a prefilled booking.
Role Idea, design and code
Every dispute is a dispute about a boundary.
A concept site for a law bureau in Almaty, named after the old word for the strip of land between two fields. The whole site rests on one idea: every dispute is a dispute about a boundary.

Concept and demo sites by industry, and my own products. Pick your industry:
Concept sites, demo sites for fictional businesses and my own products. Each card says which it is, and every site can be opened.

02About
I'm a web developer and a petroleum engineering student. I run my own venue in the Butakovka gorge and build its website, so I know what a site has to do for a real business.
I'm an independent developer from Almaty. I work with React, TypeScript, HTML and CSS, and build each site by hand for one business instead of filling in a template. Because I run a business myself, I think about calls, bookings and seasons before animations, and I take a project from the first conversation to the live domain on my own.
Clean code and clear design, from the first sketch to a live domain. Building for schools, tourism and local businesses since I opened my first site.
Toolkit

Four steps from your first message to a working site.

I build the site and show it to you. You send edits, I make them.
You accept the site and pay the remaining 50%. I connect the domain and publish it.
Services, contacts and a request form on one page.

I name the deadline in the plan, before you pay.
