Case Study; Bar Zeezigt, Rotterdam
Bar Zeezigt needed a site before they opened. Not in three months; this week, before the first customer walked through the door. They had a name, a vibe, a canal view and a story to tell. What they didn't have was a budget for a full agency process, a brand deck, or a content strategy.
This is where guerrilla web design earns its name. No templates, no drag-and-drop compromise, no generic. We listened to the story, felt the energy of the space, and built something that felt like the bar actually looked; raw, atmospheric, completely itself.
Original build in Readymag for speed, then converted to clean hand-coded HTML for performance and full ownership. The result: a site that launches the brand, gives the bar a digital address that matches its physical one, and costs a fraction of what a traditional agency quotes just for discovery.
Most small independent businesses; bars, labels, studios, pop-ups, creative practices; don't need a ten-page website. They need one page that works: a page that says who you are, where you are, what you do, and why someone should walk through the door or click the link. Everything else is noise.
I start with a conversation, not a brief document. I look at what you already have; your Instagram, a sketch, a reference you saved; and build from there. Fast. I'm available on WhatsApp, I work outside office hours, and we understand that for a bar opening on Friday, Wednesday afternoon is already too late.
I work with clients everywhere. Wherever you are in the world, if you have a brand worth building, I'm interested. Delivery is remote-first, communication is direct, and the work always comes before the process.
Every build is clean, hand-written HTML, CSS and minimal JavaScript; no frameworks, no dependencies, no bloat. Fast on every connection, right on every screen, strong Core Web Vitals without extra effort.
I include everything most small-studio builds skip: proper meta titles and descriptions, Open Graph tags so your link looks right when shared on Instagram or WhatsApp, a canonical URL, and Schema.org markup so search engines know who you are and where you are. For local businesses we add geo meta tags and local business structured data; small details, real difference.
After handover we stay available. A line change, new opening hours, a different image; message us and it's done. The same personal attention on day 90 as day one.
