Format 03
A project that needs a route of its own
Not every task fits a standard format. Sometimes a website needs a large structure, non-standard navigation, several independent user scenarios or special requirements for content and interaction. We won’t squeeze such a project into a ready-made package. First we’ll understand the task and define the right scope.
When to choose this format
If the project needs more than ten pages, has many areas and a complex hierarchy, requires non-standard interactions, or you’re not yet sure how to organise a large amount of information. A project’s complexity depends more on its requirements than on the number of pages, so we scope custom projects around the actual task.
What we discuss before quoting
The project’s goals and audience; a proposed sitemap; page types and reusable templates; whether the copy and images are ready; required features; desired integrations; technical constraints; and the approval and handover process. Then we define the scope of work and prepare a tailored proposal.
Terms
Cost, timeline and scope of work are calculated individually after discussion. The baseline includes two rounds of revisions, and we fix the final terms in the proposal for the specific project. New requirements that come up after the structure is agreed are considered separately.
How we work
How the work is organised
Discussing the task
You write to us on Telegram about what you do, what you offer and what the website should do. Together we choose the format: a landing page, a multi-page website or a custom project. At the same time we look at which texts, photos and examples you already have.
Structure, terms and prepayment
We agree on the structure: which pages and blocks are needed and in what order. Before work begins, we fix the scope, cost, timeline, number of revision rounds, which materials you prepare and how the result is handed over. Then the prepayment is made and the project starts.
Design and build
First we agree on the visual direction, then we build the pages within the agreed scope. New pages and features that weren’t part of the agreement are discussed separately before we take them on.
Review and revisions
We show you the finished version. You collect your comments into one list: that is one round of revisions. A landing page includes one round; a multi-page website and a custom project include two.
Handover
We check the website at different screen sizes: links, buttons, forms, text wrapping and navigation. We then hand over the result using the method agreed at the start.

You don’t have to explain things beautifully: how to talk about your idea so the website turns out truly yours
You can come with notes, a voice message or a feeling of “I want it like this”. You don’t need a perfect brief for the first conversation: an understanding of what matters to you is enough.

Animations on a website: when does the wow help, and when does it get in the way?
Good animation doesn’t need to keep reminding you it’s there. Sometimes a movement of light, a soft transition or a response to an action is enough to make an interface feel alive. Problems start when movement exists only for effect: it makes you wait, distracts from the text or confuses navigation.

The history of web design through a computer’s eyes: from grey pages to digital worlds
I remember when a page was almost a document. Then I was taught to lay elements out on a grid, show movement, adapt to phones and depict things that didn’t yet exist in reality.
