My Process - How We Work Together

Every company is unique, just like every web project we undertake together. Still, we don’t rely on improvisation: a clear, proven process guides us from the initial idea to the long-term operation of your website. This approach helps us maintain focus, save time, and establish a solid foundation for your digital growth.
I focus on a clean technical framework, understandable processes, and transparent communication. Rather than following empty trends or making hollow promises, I rely on modern technologies and well-structured methods. The result? A smooth project flow without unnecessary obstacles.

Analysis & Strategy

In this initial phase, we focus on gaining a clear understanding of your business and your goals. Together, we determine what your website should achieve. Maybe you already have a finished design and all your content ready—great, we’ll build on that. Missing something, like a cohesive layout or compelling copy? No worries. I can bring in my designer or external experts to ensure your online presence is fully aligned with your vision.

The key is understanding where you currently stand and where you want to go. This analysis isn’t an unnecessary detour; it’s the foundation for a website that genuinely supports your business. By establishing clarity from the start, we save time, money, and effort in the long run. This way, we can focus on what truly matters, in a manner that suits your existing resources and requirements.

Implementation & Optimization

Now we get down to business: we turn our concept into reality. Whether we’re migrating your existing site to Storyblok, integrating a new design, or making technical refinements—this phase establishes the solid foundation of your website. I work in clear, manageable steps, providing you with a working base version early on, which we’ll refine together.

Why not go for one big “launch moment”? Because a gradual approach gives you and your team the time to get comfortable with the new system. Your feedback directly informs further development, ensuring the final result genuinely meets your needs. Instead of working behind closed doors for months, I maintain regular communication with everyone involved. This keeps us flexible, open to new ideas, and focused on continuous improvement.

Yes, it requires some involvement on your part, but it’s worth it. In the end, you’ll have a website that’s technically sound, user-friendly, and ready for whatever the future holds—just as your business requires.

Ongoing Support & Development

After launch, your website isn’t a static entity—it’s a living system. In this phase, I keep it up-to-date and continue to improve it over time. That means regular updates, maintenance, performance checks, and, if desired, help with content management. Your online presence stays current and relevant, day in and day out.

My goal is to give you peace of mind so you can focus on your core business. We’ll stay in touch, discuss new requirements, and plan meaningful enhancements. This ensures your website adapts to changes in your market or within your company, without you having to worry about the technical details.

This ongoing support is an investment in the future of your digital presence. By acting proactively, we save time, money, and hassle in the long run. The result is a website that not only impresses today, but remains effective well into the future.

My Core Principles - The Foundation of My Work

In collaboration with my clients, I place great value on transparency and authenticity. Here are the principles that guide my actions:

  • No Bullshit. I call things by their name. No jargon, no empty promises.
  • Loyal. Long-term client relationships are important to me. I stand by your side to achieve long-term goals together.
  • Design. For me, it has to not only work but also look good. Aesthetics are not an add-on, but an integral part of my work.
  • Effective. I work alone and cannot get lost in large project management processes. My focus is on direct, effective results.
  • At Eye Level. Hierarchies and titles don't matter to me. I work on equal footing with everyone. Mutual respect is a fundamental requirement.
  • Win-Win Situations. I strive for partnerships that benefit everyone involved. Fairness means creating a balanced environment where no one is taken advantage of.
