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
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 web applications?
When they live behind a story we built — ordering, booking, dashboards, client portals, on Laravel. That is The Director's Cut. We don't take on standalone app builds: the site comes first, the machinery serves it.
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.
