Taking on new projects
Online stores that sell. And that hold up.
We don't hand over a pretty design and disappear. We build the store, connect it to card payments, put it on a proper server, and stay to keep it running.

What you actually get
Card payments that work
Integrated with your bank's processor, plus cash on delivery. Tested with real transactions, not in theory.
A site that loads instantly
Next.js, optimised images, server rendering. Speed isn't a nice-to-have — it's the difference between an order and a bounce.
Your infrastructure, not someone else’s
Own server, DNS, SSL certificates, email. No shared hosting panel quietly rewriting your configuration.
Security taken seriously
Firewall, SSH key-only access, backups, and monitoring that alerts us within minutes when something goes down.
Services
Two things, done properly
We don't do everything. We do online stores and fast websites — plus the infrastructure without which neither matters.
Core
Online stores
From a simple shop to multi-store systems run from a single admin, with shared stock and orders.
- Card payments through your bank + cash on delivery
- Multistore: several brands, one admin panel
- Instant WhatsApp alerts on every new order

- Migration from your old platform without losing orders
Complementary

Foundation
Hosting and maintenance
The part nobody talks about until the site goes down on a big sales day.

Process
Four steps, no surprises
You know from day one what you get, how long it takes and what it costs. No estimates that quietly double.
- 01
Conversation and quote
You tell us what you sell and to whom. We tell you what's possible, in what timeframe, at what price. If we're not the right fit, we say so.
- 02
Structure and design
We agree on pages, checkout flow and look. You see the result before production code gets written.
- 03
Build and testing
We build it, wire up payments and test with real transactions. You don't get a store nobody has ever bought from.
- 04
Launch and after
We move to the real domain with no downtime. Then we stay available — monitoring runs, and you have someone to call.
Why us
The difference is what happens after launch
We don't vanish on delivery
Most projects fail three months after launch, not at launch. We stay connected to the server and to you.
We cover the server side too
DNS, certificates, email, firewall, backups. We never send a client off to "ask your hosting provider".
We work with real stores
With stock, orders, payments, returns and customers who call. Not just pretty mockups.
We'll tell you when an idea is bad
If a requirement costs a lot and returns little, you hear it from us — not after you've paid the invoice.
Questions
What everyone asks
What does an online store cost?
It depends on how many products you have, whether you want card payments, and whether you're migrating from another platform. After the first call you get a fixed price, not a vague range. We don't work on “we'll see as we go”.
How long does it take?
A marketing site: two to three weeks. An online store: from a month, depending on complexity and how quickly we get the copy and photos from you.
Can I edit the content myself?
Yes. Products, prices, stock, pages — all editable from the admin panel. We walk you through it at handover.
What happens if the site goes down?
Automated monitoring alerts us, usually before you notice. And if it is serious, there is a backup and a written recovery procedure, not improvisation.
Do you work on existing sites?
Yes. Taking over, fixing, moving to a new server, speed work, securing a site after an incident. Tell us what you have and we will say whether it is worth fixing or rebuilding.
Where are the sites hosted?
On our own server, in Europe. You can stay on your current hosting if you prefer, but we will be honest about its limits.
Got a project in mind?
Tell us what you want to build. You get back what's possible, how long it takes and what it costs — without five follow-up calls in between.
