Building websites.
A design studio and technology company that builds things the right way — with intention, precision, and soul.
Tekavra is a holding company for creative and technical work. Four disciplines, one standard: craft above all.
Custom websites for businesses that take pride in their work. Hand-coded, performance-tuned, owned by you. Starting at $300 for a 3-page site. No templates. No monthly fees. No lock-in.
Intelligent tools and software powered by machine learning, natural language processing, and automation — designed to solve real business problems, not chase trends.
From concept to launch — SaaS platforms, internal tools, and customer-facing applications. We design, build, and ship products that work.
Select partnerships and investments in technology and creative businesses. We bring capital, technical expertise, and operational support to the right opportunities.
Every project ships with one guarantee: you own it. All the code. All the files. All the designs. Forever. No lock-in. No monthly ransom. No restrictions on who hosts it or touches it. It's your website — not ours.
Tekavra means "I create with craft" — from the Greek techne (skill, art) and the Aramaic avra (I create). It also carries a second reading: "crafted with soul," drawing from the Egyptian ka (spirit) and the Sanskrit vara (excellence).
Both etymologies point to the same place: the act of making something real through practiced hands and deliberate intention.
We believe every project is an act of creation — not assembly. Whether it's a website, an AI system, or a digital product, we approach it like a craftsman approaches material: with respect for what it could become, and the discipline to get it there.
"A workshop that's also a temple — warm, precise, alive, ancient, and completely modern."
Five deliberate steps. Every project, every time.
We sit with your business and take in everything — your trade, your customers, your voice, your goals. No intake forms. No templates. Just deep listening before anything else moves.
We map every page, every user flow, every decision. Structure is built before a single line of code is written — because the best sites are architected, not assembled.
We build it by hand — line by line — using modern tools and AI-assisted precision where it makes us faster and sharper. Every output reviewed. Every pixel deliberate. Nothing ships unexamined.
We sharpen it together. You review, we refine, until it's exactly right — no compromises, no "good enough." This is where craft separates from output.
We launch and stay planted. Updates, growth, new chapters — we're in it for the long run. You own the work completely. We're here because we want to be.
The Problem: A generic DIY site with no local search presence and no way for customers to book online. Competitors were winning on Google Maps.
What We Built: A custom 5-page site with dedicated service pages, online booking integration, and structured data built for local SEO — all hand-coded from scratch.
"We went from not showing up on Google at all to getting direct calls through our website. The site was live in under two weeks and it looks sharper than anything our competitors have."
Founded in St. Petersburg, Florida by Vikelas Carey.
Tekavra Creative is a holding company for design, technology, and ventures. What started as a web design studio grew into something broader — because the best problems don't fit neatly into one discipline.
We build custom websites for businesses that take pride in their trade. We develop AI software. We design and ship digital products. And we invest in the right opportunities when craft and ambition align.
Every division shares the same standard: build it right, build it with intention, and make sure it lasts. We use modern tools — including AI-assisted development — the way any skilled builder uses the best equipment available. The judgment calls, the architecture, the creative direction — those are human.
Based in St. Petersburg, working with clients and partners across the country.

We believe in transparency. We use AI-assisted development tools as part of our workflow — they help us build faster, catch errors, and iterate smarter.
What AI doesn't do: make decisions about your brand, your architecture, your user experience, or your strategy. That's ours.
Every project is designed, reviewed, and delivered by a real person who cares about what ships under our name.
Tools we use: Claude Code, VS Code, Cloudflare, GitHub, and custom-built solutions depending on your stack.
Tekavra Creative is a design studio and technology company. We build custom websites, develop AI software, create digital products, and invest in ventures. We're based in St. Petersburg, Florida and work with clients nationwide.
Custom websites at Tekavra start at $300 for a 3-page website ($100/page). Whether you need a simple starter site or a full multi-page build, you pay only for what you need. That's a one-time payment — no monthly fees. You own all the code and files.
Most websites take 1-3 weeks from start to launch, depending on the number of pages and complexity. Simple 3-page sites can be live in about a week. Larger projects like AI software or digital products follow a custom timeline scoped during discovery.
Unlike Wix or Squarespace, where you rent your website and lose everything if you stop paying, we give you all the code and files. You own your website completely. You can host it anywhere, hire anyone to update it, or move it whenever you want. No lock-in.
Not at all. You tell us about your business and goals — we handle everything from design and code to launch and hosting. We'll walk you through how to request changes after launch.
Yes. While we're based in St. Petersburg, Florida, we work with businesses across the country. Everything works remotely — we communicate by phone, email, and video call.
We offer ongoing support and maintenance plans. Small updates are quick and affordable. Since you own your code, you can also hire anyone to make changes — you're never locked in to us.
