Process

However you reach out - general inquiry, job offer, or order form - I respond to every question you have.

  • If anything needs clarification, I follow up by email or a quick call
  • I also look ahead and flag anything that might need attention sooner than planned
  • From there I put together a clear plan with an exact price or a defined range including the maximum cost
  • Once we agree, I work in iterations: you see progress early, give feedback, and we refine
  • No black-box delivery at the end

It always depends on scope - but here are some real reference points:

  • Landing page (static, no admin): under 1 week
  • Landing page + admin panel for content updates: 3-4 weeks
  • Restaurant site / SaaS MVP: 1-3 months
  • E-shop: 2-6 months to first release, with continued development after launch
  • Private business tools with sensitive data: 3 months to 1 year

Every project gets a realistic estimate based on actual requirements - not a number made up to win the deal.

Yes - though my experience is primarily with Slovak and Czech clients. I communicate in Slovak, Czech, and English. Based in Slovakia (CET), which aligns well with most of Europe.

Maximum 2 active projects at a time. This is intentional - each project gets focused attention, not fragmented hours split across multiple clients.

A clear goal and a point of contact who can give feedback. Everything else - brand, copy, designs - if you have them, great. If not, I can handle it or we work it out together. The more context you give upfront, the better the result.

Pricing

Fixed price for well-scoped projects. Hourly (or monthly retainer) for ongoing work, maintenance, or projects where scope evolves. I prefer fixed price because it aligns incentives - I have no reason to pad hours.

Prices vary by scope - but here are real reference points:

  • Landing page (static, no admin): from 500 €
  • Landing page + admin panel: from 800-1 500 €
  • Restaurant site / SaaS MVP: from 1 000 €
  • E-shop: from 1 500 € - no upper limit, depends entirely on requirements
  • Private business tools: based on scope and requirements

Every project gets a specific price or range upfront - not a vague estimate.

Yes - an upfront deposit is required before work starts. For smaller projects it's typically 30-50%. For larger projects payments are split across milestones - so you only pay for what's been delivered. This protects both sides.

If you have multiple projects, we can discuss a package deal or adjusted pricing. Every case is evaluated individually based on scope and timeline.

Technical

Backend: PHP (Laravel, Symfony), Nest.js, Express.js, Node.js Frontend: TypeScript, React.js, Next.js, Vue.js, Nuxt.js

I work with a proven stack across the full product - from backend logic and APIs to the interface your users interact with. The specific tools always depend on what the project needs, not what I happen to prefer.

What matters for you: the code is clean, maintainable, and built to last. Not something that needs a full rewrite in two years because it was built on a trend.

If you have a preferred stack or an existing codebase - I adapt. Full technical breakdown is on the Skills page.

Yes - this is a regular part of my work. Adding features, fixing bugs, refactoring, or picking up where another developer left off.

One thing to be upfront about: reading and understanding an existing codebase takes time. That time is part of the work and is included in the estimate. There are no shortcuts here - rushing onboarding is how bugs get introduced.

Every project is tested on a live environment before handoff - so you always see it running for real, not just locally.

If deployment is needed, we can arrange it: - Smaller projects: Vercel, Render, Railway, Hostinger - Larger projects: VPS (Ubuntu + Docker + Nginx), Cloudflare, AWS

CI/CD pipelines are set up so deployments are automated from day one. If you already have a preferred provider, I work with it.

Yes. After final payment the code is yours - no strings attached. You can host it anywhere, hand it to another developer, or modify it however you want. I have no ongoing claim to it.

Yes. After launch I'm available on an hourly basis for updates, bug fixes, or new features - you pay only for what you actually need, nothing more.

If you prefer predictability, we can arrange a monthly retainer with a defined scope instead.
