Overview
Anubhava Mantapa is the personal blog of Dr. Sharan Shivaraj Patil, Founder, Chairman and Chief of the Orthopaedic & Joint Replacement Surgery Department at SPARSH Group of Hospitals. After more than three decades in medicine, he wanted a quiet, readable space to share his thoughts and perspectives on success, positivity, family, young people and everyday life. At Codenbrand, we built a fully custom WordPress theme with no page builders and no off-the-shelf template, so the site is fast, easy to manage and designed around one goal: letting the writing take centre stage.
The Challenge
- The blog needed to feel personal and calm, with the writing and the author at the centre.
- Readers had to find the latest posts quickly and move easily between topics.
- The doctor’s professional background had to be presented clearly without overshadowing the blog.
- Subscriptions and messages had to be captured safely and protected from spam.
Our Solution
Custom WordPress Theme
A hand-coded, fully responsive theme built for easy reading on phones and desktops. The home page shows the newest posts in a slider, introduces the author, links to his Instagram and invites readers to get in touch, and then lists the latest articles.
Blog as Its Own Content Type
Posts are built as a dedicated Blog content type with its own archive and detail pages, separate from regular pages. Categories help readers explore topics they care about, and posts can be browsed through the blog archive or by category.
About the Author
Dedicated About pages tell the story of the blog and of Dr. Patil, his qualifications and his work at SPARSH Group of Hospitals, so readers know whose voice they are reading.
Subscribe & Contact Forms with Spam Protection
Custom subscribe and contact forms let readers join the mailing list or send a message. They are protected with security nonces and a hidden honeypot field, and entries are validated before they are accepted. Each submission is saved in the website’s database, emailed to the site owner, and the reader receives a confirmation. A thank-you page completes the flow.
SEO Setup
Clean URLs, semantic markup and Yoast SEO configuration give the blog a solid base for search visibility and for social sharing. See our SEO services for more.
