Two crafts.
One pair of hands.

I build websites for businesses, and I make visual work for brands. Two separate crafts, quoted separately. Pick the one you came for.

Every frame is a decision.

Not a search result and not a stock library — directed shot by shot until the colour, the pace and the cut are right. This is a frame from a brand film.

How it runs

Four steps, whichever craft you came for.

You always know where the work stands and what happens next. Nothing starts before it is written down.

  1. 01

    We talk

    You tell me what the business does, who has to act, and what has to be true by the end. Twenty minutes is usually enough to know whether this is a fit.

  2. 02

    I come back with a plan

    Scope, direction, what you get, what it costs, and when. Written down before anything is made, so there is nothing to argue about later.

  3. 03

    I build it

    You see it while it is being made, not at the end. Two rounds of changes are part of the price, not an extra.

  4. 04

    It goes live

    Files in the formats you actually need, or the site online with everything connected. I stay reachable afterwards.

Who you're working with

Ibrahim Vardar

Web developer and visual artistGhent, Belgium

I work across two disciplines most studios keep apart: building websites, and making visual work. Both come out of the same head — which is why a brand can have its site and its campaign imagery in one visual language, from one person, with no handover in between.

No office, no sales layer, no account manager. You deal with the person doing the work, from the first call to the last file. That is not a limitation I am apologising for: it is why the work costs what it costs and gets the attention it gets.

I take a small number of projects at a time. When there is no room, you hear that straight away instead of being put in a queue.

Straight answers

The things you're actually wondering.

Written down here so you do not have to ask them in an email and wait a day for the answer.

Why one person instead of an agency?
Because at every step you get the person doing the work. No brief handed down to someone junior, no account manager translating between you and the build, and no agency overhead sitting inside the price. The trade-off is capacity, and I am straight about it: a small number of projects at a time.
What does it cost?
One price for the whole job, agreed in writing before anything gets made. No hourly meter, and no invoice at the end that is larger than the number you said yes to. If the budget does not reach, I will say so at the start rather than halfway through.
Who owns it when it's finished?
You do. The code, the source files and the domain are in your name, not mine. If I host it for you that is a service you can stop whenever you like — the site comes with you, and nothing is held back to keep you there.
What if I need a change in six months?
You email me and I do it. On the hosted package small edits are included; without it I quote an hourly rate before I touch anything. Either way it is small work, not a new project, and sticking around afterwards is the whole point of only having a handful of clients at once.
How fast do you reply?
Within one working day, every time. If I cannot take the project, you get that answer within one working day too.

Get in touch

Tell me what you need.

It does not have to be worked out yet. A few lines about the business and what you are trying to do is enough to start. I read everything myself and reply within one working day.

What is this about?

Used only to answer you. Nothing else, ever.
