How the studio works

Three roles, one table

Design

Every project starts from its own subject, not from a template. That's why the roastery, the photo studio and the gym on this page share no visual DNA.

Front-end

Hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript, or React with Tailwind when the project needs it. No page builders, no plugin stacks, nothing to slow the page down.

Copy

We write the text with the design, in English or Czech. A page that says the right thing in the right place converts better than a prettier page that mumbles.

Small studio means you talk to the people doing the work. No account manager relaying your comments, no ticket queue — you write, the person who built the page answers.

How a project runs

Typically 5—10 working days
1

Brief, in writing

What the page must achieve, who reads it, what you already have. Half an hour of questions saves a week of revisions.

2

Direction first

You see the hero and one section before the rest exists. Type, colour and tone get agreed there — not at the end.

3

Build and review

Full page on a preview link, tested on phone and desktop. Two rounds of changes are part of the price.

4

Handover

Deployed to your hosting or ours, source files yours, plus a short note on how to edit the parts you'll want to change.

Ask about care

Fixed price, agreed before we start — not an estimate that grows. Payment is split 50 % up front and 50 % on handover. Hosting and domain are paid directly by you, so you keep the keys; typical cost is €0–5 a month.

In every project

No line items appear later

Responsive layout

Tested on a phone, a tablet and a desktop before delivery — not "should work", but opened and checked.

Technical SEO

Titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, Open Graph preview, sitemap and robots.txt. Your link looks right when shared.

Speed work

Compressed images, no framework bloat, fonts loaded properly. Our demo pages sit under one second on a normal connection.

Source files

The site is yours, including the code. No proprietary builder you'd have to pay us to escape from.

Editing handover

A short written note showing exactly where to change the text, prices or photos you'll want to change yourself.

Two revision rounds

Included in the price, not billed extra. Most projects use one and a half.

Four ways to get a website

Honest comparison
RouteTypical costTimeWhere it hurts
Build it yourself on Wix or Squarespace €15–30 / month, forever A weekend, then evenings Looks like the template it came from; you pay rent for your own site and can't take it with you.
Buy a theme and adapt it €60 once + your time 1–2 weeks of fiddling Cheap until something breaks. Plugin stacks slow the page down and updates break the layout.
Small studio (us) €590–1 390 once 5–10 working days Bigger up-front cost than a template, and we don't do e-shops with warehouse integration.
Full agency €3 000–8 000 1–3 months Account managers between you and the work. Worth it above a certain size — below it, you fund the overhead.

Questions we actually get

Before you write
What makes the price go up?

Three things, in order: how much text has to be written from scratch, how many pages share a layout, and whether anything has to talk to another system — a booking calendar, a payment gateway, a CRM. Design complexity matters far less than people expect.

What if the direction isn't what I imagined?

That's why you see the hero section and one more block before anything else gets built. If the direction is wrong, we change it there — cheap and quick. Rebuilding a finished page is what gets expensive, so we don't work that way.

Who pays for hosting and the domain?

You do, directly, and the accounts stay in your name. A static site like the demos here can be hosted free, and a domain runs about €10 a year. We'd rather you keep control than have to ask us for access later.

Can I edit the text myself afterwards?

Yes. On handover you get a short note pointing at exactly the lines to change for prices, opening hours or photos. If you'd rather not touch it at all, the care plan covers small edits every month.

Do you build e-shops or WordPress sites?

Not our strong suit, and we'd rather say so. We build fast presentation sites, landing pages and dashboards. For a shop with stock and invoicing, Shopify plus a specialist beats anything we'd hand-code — we can point you to one.

How does payment work?

Half at the start, half on handover, invoiced from Czechia with the right VAT treatment for EU companies. No monthly fee unless you take the care plan.

Tell us what the page has to do.

Two or three sentences are enough to start. You'll get an answer the same working day, with a price and a date — not a request for a meeting.
