How I work
The name is no accident. I work with a small number of clients whose cause means something to me — that is why the results turn out the way they do.
You talk to the person who builds it.
No project manager, no handover to a team you never meet. Whoever draws up the concept also writes the code, and is still reachable two years later.
Care before speed.
I take on few projects at a time. In return, every detail sits where it should at the end — the typography, the loading time, the words, the way it behaves on an old phone.
Built to stay.
Websites that still run in five years and that you can look after yourself. Nothing that falls apart at the first update.
Expertise
Exploration
Before starting any project it is important to understand the business context, the goals for a new web presence or a re-design. It is about the personal fit as well.
Website Design
Each Website starts with the customer analysis and graphical design in tools such as Relume AI, Figma and agentic design tools.
Web Development
Once the customer requirements are captured, the development process involves platforms like Wordpress and Webflow, or agentic development with Next.js, Astro, Claude Code and Codex.
Digital Marketing
Integration of email marketing tools, (headless) CMS, e-commerce / fundraising services, SEO/AEO Optimisation and reporting as well as ongoing maintenance.
Digital Brand Design
On request support for the creation of (new) digital brand identity.
