Every engagement is a fixed fee agreed before work starts — no hourly meters, no surprises. Public prices are honest starting points; the exact number depends on scope, and you get it in writing.
Flagship
The Feature
Your brand told as a scroll-driven film — a fully custom cinematic website people share for how it feels, not just what it says.
Five to eight pages or scenes, composed as one continuous story
The full signature kit: scroll-scrubbed hero, pinned story rails, self-drawing lines, film grain, glass navigation, magnetic detail
Custom code — GSAP, Lenis, vanilla JavaScript. No frameworks you'll have to maintain
Fast loads and 60fps motion as the definition of done
White-label creative development. In film, the second unit shoots the hard footage while the director runs the set — that's the arrangement: you direct, we make it move.
Build from your finished design files — pixel-loyal, motion-first
GSAP and Lenis scroll choreography, canvas work, micro-interactions, performance rescue on existing builds
NDA-friendly, credit optional, your client stays your client
Timezone advantage: your London morning is our morning; New York wakes up to finished work
PricingScoped per engagement, fixed fee
EngagementPer project or weekly
CapacityOne Second Unit engagement alongside one direct project
Two or more language versions, edited from a single admin and kept in sync page for page. We add further languages as your audience grows.
Booking & scheduling
Reservations, appointments or table booking wired straight into the site — no per-booking commission. Guests book; you see it in a clean admin.
A journal
A clean surface for stories, news and SEO content — styled to match the rest of the site, never a foreign block bolted on at the end.
Galleries
Image-led sections carrying the same motion language as the hero, engineered to stay fast even with a heavy library of photography.
Integrations
Payments, email, analytics and the tools you already run — scoped conservatively and in writing before we sign, with no 24/7 ops theatre.
Beyond the website
The full digital backbone — under one roof
Advertising & clients
Google Ads campaigns measured in calls and enquiries, not clicks: keywords, ads, negatives, weekly tuning and a monthly report in plain English. Management is €300/month; the ad budget is yours and stays with you — you pay Google directly and see every euro. Social channels speak the same language — content and presence wired to the same goal.
Custom systems — CRM & ERP
Client records, invoicing, stock and inventory, production planning, internal panels for your team — software cut to fit your processes, not the other way round. We build systems like these, and they live in daily use inside real businesses. Priced per project — fixed in writing after a 30-minute call.
AI assistants & bots
An AI receptionist that picks up enquiries at 10pm on a Sunday; chatbots for your site and messaging channels; automations that take the manual work off your hands. Built on the latest AI models — including our own AI product, live on the market. Priced per project.
Mobile apps
iPhone and Android — from idea to the app stores: design, build, publishing, subscriptions and payments. Our own AI fitness app is live with real paying users — we build for ourselves, not only for clients. Priced per project.
What everything above shares: the same pair of hands, one phone number, fixed fees in writing — and nothing lost in the seams between “the agency for the site”, “the ads person” and “the software firm”. Here, they are one.
Before & after the build
Two small things worth knowing
Design Sprint
Paid discovery — €900
A strategy call, a content and structure audit, and a working, animated hero concept — not a static mockup. You see your site moving before you commit to the full build. The €900 is credited toward any project that goes ahead.
Care & beyond
Launch is the beginning
Standard care — €190/month: managed hosting, backups, monitoring, updates and up to two hours of changes. Priority — €390/month: five hours, a quarterly motion refresh, first in line. No lock-in; leave any month.

Before you write
Questions we actually get
How much will my website cost?
One-page scroll stories start at €3,500, full cinematic sites at €7,500, and sites with working machinery (ordering, booking, admin) at €12,000. The exact number is a fixed fee, agreed in writing after one scoping call — never an hourly meter, never a surprise invoice.
How long does it take?
A Short ships in 2–3 weeks, a Feature in 4–8, a Director's Cut in 8–12. We run one flagship project at a time, so your start date is agreed upfront and your project is never queued behind someone bigger.
What do you need from me?
Photography (or the budget to source it), your brand assets, and raw material for the copy — bullet points are fine, we shape them. Plus one person on your side who can make decisions. That's it.
Who actually builds my site?
One person — the founder — designs and builds everything, end to end, on eleven years of professional development across Python, PHP/Laravel, JavaScript and C#. No handoffs, no account managers, no junior team behind a senior pitch. You watch the build evolve on a live staging URL, week by week.
What happens after launch?
Thirty days of care are included with every build. After that, €190/month covers hosting, backups, monitoring, updates and small changes — €390/month adds more hours and a quarterly motion refresh. No lock-in; you can leave any month and the site stays yours.
Do you build applications and systems, not just websites?
Yes. Web applications behind a site we built (ordering, booking, admin panels — The Director's Cut), standalone CRM and ERP systems, AI assistants and bots, and mobile apps for iPhone and Android. Our own AI product is live on the market with paying users. Everything is priced per project — fixed, in writing, after a 30-minute call.
We're an agency — can you build for us quietly?
Yes — that's Second Unit. You send finished design files, we return award-grade scroll choreography under NDA, with or without credit. Your client stays your client.
Who owns the finished site and code?
You do, completely. On final payment you receive the full codebase and files, and the domain and hosting are registered in your name. Care is optional, not a lock-in — you can leave any month and the site stays yours.
Can you work with our existing brand and content?
Yes. Bring what you have — photography, copy, brand assets — and we refine and compose it rather than start from zero. Where the copy is thin we help with structure and phrasing, but we won't invent your story or fabricate facts about your business.
Where is the site hosted?
We set up managed hosting, the domain and SSL in your name and keep them running under the monthly care plan — €190/month covers hosting, backups and monitoring. Prefer your own infrastructure? We'll build to it; just tell us what you run.
