I build websites & apps

My own code. Your own website.

I build every project from scratch, without ready-made templates or off-the-shelf tools. Your website is fast, secure and built around what your business needs, today and as it grows.

Materials

Everything starts with what you already have.

Bring whatever you have at hand: an idea, websites you like or material you already use. You need no technical knowledge and no finished texts. In our first conversation we sort out the details together.

Instructions

  1. 1. Goals: sales, bookings, new customers
  2. 2. Your audience: who they are and what they look for
  3. 3. Inspiration: the websites that stand out to you
  4. 4. Existing material: an old site, the logo or a brochure
  1. 5. Languages: the ones your customers need
  2. 6. Features: payments, maps, booking systems
  3. 7. Deadline: the start of the season or a planned launch

Measuring

Wishes become specifications.

I turn each of your wishes into concrete sections and features, and send you a detailed written proposal. It states the work to be done, the fixed total price and the timeline. That written agreement is the clear basis for a good start.

Result: Written proposal Fixed price and timeline

Start

The proposal becomes a design, and the design becomes code.

A fast website with clean, hand-written code can be ready to launch in just three to four weeks from the moment we lock the final design.

Caution: Design first, then build

Caution: Design first, then build

Build

Piece by piece, the whole takes shape.

I take on the whole process myself, from the screen design (UI/UX) to the structure of the database. I build without heavy third-party components that could cause security problems or slow things down, so the result is fast, secure and accessible.

Content & approval

Caution: Always test before going live

You add your content in your own time.

At first the site is locked with a password, so only you can see it. After a short tour of the content system, you add your material yourself. When you are done, you send me your notes in one list, I make the final speed and SEO adjustments, and the site goes live as soon as you give the final “yes”.

  1. Private access Only for you, with a password
  2. Your own editing A short training, no pressure
  3. Final adjustments Based on your list
  4. Approval & launch When you are ready

And then?

Going live is only a new beginning.

From here on, your new website works for you around the clock. I fix any bugs free of charge for the first 30 days, and after that, if you wish, I can take care of the ongoing maintenance. Otherwise, the code and your data are 100% yours, and you can move to any host you like.
