An organised codebase with documented hosting and connected services. Future changes and dependencies still need maintenance; the source is handed over for continued development.
Websites · built in code
An AI-assisted website, designed around one clear offer.
One page that says what you do, how much it costs and how to reach you. Designed and built in code with AI assistance, reviewed for mobile use, enquiry delivery and search fundamentals, on hosting in your name. From €500, fixed in writing before we start. This site was built the same way.
Who this is for
When one good page beats a big site
The requests we hear before a one-page build. If one of them sounds like yours, this is the right size.
A new business
You need a page this week: what you do, prices, a form. Not a portal you will fill in later.
One service, one offer
A clinic, a workshop, a consultant, a studio: the page has to sell one thing clearly and be easy to find.
A launch or an event
A course, a season, an opening. The page lives for months, not years, and has to be ready fast.
A test of a new direction
Before building the whole site for a new service, see whether people write. A focused page from €500 can support a defined test; the test also needs a traffic source and a way to evaluate enquiries.

The week
What is included, and what is honestly not
A focused one-page site has a defined scope, with performance checked using the actual content. The list on the left is the whole scope. Anything beyond it is a different build with its own price, and we say so before you pay.
This page you are reading was built in code the same way, with AI, in the same studio.

A focused page can be a complete first release
A compact website is useful when the business has one primary offer and a clear next action. It might introduce a new service, explain an event or provide a credible destination for referrals and campaigns. The page still needs enough substance to answer the buyer’s questions. A smaller build should reduce technical scope, not remove the information required to make a decision.
When the format fits
This format works best when the content changes infrequently and a small number of people approve it. The page can explain the offer, show relevant evidence, state the scope and provide a reliable contact route. A direct implementation in code avoids introducing an editing system the business does not need, while leaving a clear route for later technical changes.
When it needs to grow
A regularly updated blog, substantial catalogue, online store or complex account area changes the requirements. Those projects need a more suitable content or application structure. We discuss that boundary before building so a low starting price does not hide the cost of essential features. An inexpensive page is useful only when it fits the job.
What AI changes in the production process
AI tools can assist with code, draft wording and visual exploration. They do not know your business facts unless those facts are supplied, and their output still needs review. The value comes from using them inside a controlled design and development process, where someone is responsible for the result and can explain what was built.
Faster drafting and implementation
Drafts can make an early conversation more concrete. Instead of discussing an abstract section, you can see a working version and respond to its structure and tone. We can explore variations without treating every generated option as finished work. Useful ideas are retained; inaccurate claims, repetitive copy and unnecessary interface elements are removed.
Human decisions and verification
The final page needs the same checks as other professional website work: readable content, responsive layout, working links and forms, appropriate image use and sensible search metadata. A tool generating code does not prove that the code is correct. We review the implementation and test the actual customer journey before considering the page ready.
Write a brief that keeps the page focused
Name the customer
Describe the person or company the page is meant to attract and the situation that brings them to it. A founder comparing suppliers needs different information from a returning customer looking for contact details. This determines which questions belong near the top and which can be answered later without distracting from the main offer.
State the offer
Explain what you provide, what is included and what is outside the scope. Supply approved prices, relevant work and the evidence behind important claims. If photographs or testimonials are unavailable, we plan an honest alternative such as a process explanation or an illustration. We do not turn generated imagery into apparent evidence of a project that never happened.
Choose the action
Choose one primary action: send an enquiry, book a conversation or request a quote. Decide what information your team needs to respond well and where the submission should arrive. Additional contact options can support that action, but the page should not make five competing requests before the visitor understands the service.
Give a small website a strong visual hierarchy
- Opening
- The opening needs a clear headline, a useful introduction and a visual connected to the offer. A process can be shown as a diagram; a product may deserve a strong photograph. The first screen should establish what the visitor has found and why it matters. Large type and an animated background are not a substitute for that explanation.
- Explanation
- The middle of the page should vary its presentation according to the content. Steps explain sequence, comparisons show a choice and compact tables clarify scope. Short paragraphs connect these elements without becoming an uninterrupted wall of text. On a phone, the same material needs enough spacing and readable type rather than a compressed desktop arrangement.
- Proof and decision
- Proof and pricing should appear where they help the decision. A named project, a relevant deliverable or a clear description of the working process gives the visitor something to assess. Conditions should remain close to starting prices and timelines. The final contact section can then ask for the next step without relying on pressure or exaggerated urgency.
Know what ownership and maintenance mean
A website delivered as code needs a clear home for the source files, hosting account and domain. Your business should know how updates are made and who can deploy them. If you want to edit text directly through a dashboard, say so before implementation: an editor is a product requirement, not a detail that can always be added without changing the architecture.
Running costs depend on the hosting and external services chosen. A simple page may have modest infrastructure needs, but forms, analytics or other integrations can introduce accounts and usage limits. We identify those dependencies at handover. The fact that a website is static does not make every connected service free or remove the need to check that it is still working.
A code-based page still has operating responsibilities
Future changes should have an agreed route. Small text corrections, a new language, a new service page and an ecommerce feature are different scopes. Keeping the source organised makes later development easier, but it does not make major new functionality automatic. The initial build should be a deliberate foundation, with its limitations understood.
The acceptance test is a real visitor’s journey
Content approved
Review names, prices, contact details, claims and image rights before publication. Confirm that the page describes the current offer and that illustrative material is not presented as client evidence. Read the page aloud once: vague slogans and repetitive sentences are easier to notice when they are not hidden inside an attractive layout.
Phone tested
Open the page on a narrow screen and follow every important link. Check long headings, form labels, error messages and text contrast. Look at loading behaviour with the actual images in place. A strong laboratory performance score is useful diagnostic information, but it does not guarantee that every visitor has the same device or connection.
Enquiry received
Send a test enquiry and verify its delivery, including the reply address and message content. The starting price for this focused website format is €500; the written quote fixes the included work and realistic schedule after the content and dependencies are known. Send the offer, available materials and preferred contact route to begin with a scope the page can genuinely fulfil.
Questions
Questions people ask about a site in code
Custom coded website vs WordPress: which one do I need?
A code-based page can suit one offer with infrequent updates; performance and running costs still depend on implementation and hosting. If your team adds pages, posts or products regularly, you need a CMS, and WordPress or a custom site with an editor is the better fit. We build both and say which one on the first call.
How much does a custom coded website cost?
A one-page site built in code starts at €500; a prepared, focused brief can take about a week, subject to agreed access, content and feedback. A multi-page custom website with an editor is from €1 000. The price is fixed in writing before we start and includes hosting set up in your name.
What is included in the week, and what is not?
Included: structure, design in code, your text and photos placed, a contact form, page titles and sitemap, mobile speed, launch on your domain and one round of edits. Not included: an online store, a blog or catalogue, more than one language, and bespoke animation. Each of those is a separate quote.
How does a week-long build work?
Monday is the brief, Tuesday you already see the real page on your phone, Wednesday and Thursday fill it with your content, form and search basics, Friday it goes live on your domain. This is an illustrative sequence for a prepared brief. The agreed date also depends on access, feedback, integrations and content readiness.
Who owns the code and the hosting?
You do. The site lives in a code repository and on hosting registered to you; we hand over the access at launch. There is no monthly fee to us to keep it online, and another developer can maintain it using the supplied documentation. Hosting, domains and external services can have their own charges.
“I liked that they worked in clear steps: design first, then mobile, then release. You always know exactly what stage you’re at. Thanks for the site.”
“Really happy. They built the site, moved it onto our own domain, and stayed in touch the whole time. Whatever I asked, I got an answer right away. Thank you!”
