Payvandchi: my own welding workshop, finally online

I weld metal grilles in Tashkent for a living. On 1 August 2026 the workshop got a site of its own: Payvandchi, at payvandchi.maqsudjon.com.

It sells four things: window grilles, balcony grilles, stair railings and canopies. Everything is made from 10×10 mm bar, priced from 175,000 so'm per square metre, made in 7 to 10 days and installed for free, up to the 25th floor. The customer looks through the catalogue, says the number of the design they like (each photo has one, like № 077), and we measure, make, paint and install it. The pattern can be changed as much as they like.

Nothing we cannot deliver

We do not make gates. So the word for gate does not appear anywhere on the site, and every photo that showed a door grille was left out rather than implying a service we cannot deliver. Dropping a photo is cheaper than an awkward phone call.

Every photo is a real job, photographed on site. There is no stock imagery anywhere.

The engineering was weight

The first hero image was 521 KB. On a mobile connection in Tashkent that is a wait you can see. Re-encoded and resized, it is 173 KB: a third of the bytes and no visible difference.

Adding a photo takes two steps: a line in a spreadsheet file, then one build script that regenerates the gallery. That is what made it possible to add a fresh batch of workshop photos on 23 August without it becoming a project. An English version followed on 5 August.

Two sites for one workshop

Three days later I built the same workshop a second time, with the same photos, as a completely different site: Reshotkachi. Pricing is done with KVADRAT.
