Web development for designers & studios

Your finished design, built as a real website.

Send the Figma, XD or Sketch file. I turn it into custom website code that matches your layout — no WordPress, no page builder, no theme. Your client owns every file.

  • Custom code, client owns it
  • Optional editor, no monthly fee
  • Private preview while it is built

Recent builds

What was asked, what was built, what the client does now.

Three projects, described without client names. Each started from a fixed design and ended with a site the owner can run without calling me.

Machine shop website

  • Editor
  • Page templates
  • Enquiry form
Asked
A company site from a finished design, where customers can send a request for parts together with their technical drawing.
Built
Custom site with reusable page templates and an enquiry form that accepts drawing uploads, plus the editor.
Client now does
Adds and edits pages from the templates, swaps texts and images, and receives enquiries with the drawing attached.

Training academy website

  • Bilingual DE / EN
  • Editor
Asked
One site in German and English, built from the design, that the team keeps current without outside help.
Built
Custom bilingual site with matching pages in both languages and the visual block editor for the team.
Client now does
Edits texts and images in both languages, adds pages, and rolls back to an earlier version if something goes wrong.

3D printing business site

  • Own business
  • Editor
Asked
A site for my own 3D printing and engineering work, held to the same standard I promise clients.
Built
Custom site running on my own editor — the same setup clients get, used every day.
Owner now does
Updates services and pages directly, with separate layout tweaks for mobile and desktop.

During the build

Watch it come together on a private link.

Every project gets its own password-protected preview address. You and your client see real pages in a real browser as they are finished — not screenshots in an email.

  • Check on your own devices — phone, tablet, desktop.
  • Share it with your client — one link, one password.
  • Password-protected — not public until handover.

Process

From file to handover in five steps.

  1. You send the file

    Figma, XD or Sketch, with whatever notes you have.

  2. I check it first

    Gaps and missing states — hover, error, empty, mobile — flagged before any code.

  3. First page as the pattern

    One page fully built, so we agree on the details early.

  4. Remaining pages & states

    Built on that pattern, visible on the private preview.

  5. Handover

    Uploaded to the host, or delivered as files.

Answers usually the same dayQuestions and quotes don’t sit in a queue.
Builds in evenings and weekendsA side business, planned around that.
Small on purposeSo I can say no to projects that don’t fit.

Have a finished design waiting to be built?

Send the file or a link. I’ll look at it and tell you honestly whether it is a fit, what is missing, and how I would build it.
