Why “close” does not mean “better”

You want someone “close by”, just in case. I understand that. But almost all the work on a website, from the first call to the handover, happens remotely anyway. A meeting in a café sounds nice, yet the site itself is built at a computer.

The same goes for agencies that advertise themselves as local. They work by e-mail, phone and video too, they just have an address on their card. The real difference is not the distance, it is whether someone replies quickly, quotes honestly and shows what they have already built.

Try it yourself. Switch the agency's address and see which step of the project changes.

My office is in Leszno, and more and more people from other towns ask me the same question: can I help them at all if I am “not from around here”? My honest answer is yes. The process is exactly the same as for a business around the corner.

Where I really work from

My office is in Leszno, in western Poland. I build websites for businesses across the country and for clients abroad, and the process is identical for each of them: a call, a brief, the design, changes, launch. The postcode changes neither the quality nor the pace.

Everything happens in English or Polish, whichever you prefer. You can see how I work on the websites and online shops page.

What to check instead of the address

Four things tell you more about working together than the town in the footer. You can check each one in a few minutes, before you sign anything. Answer for the agency you are considering and see where you stand.

Portfolio

Can you see real, working websites you can open and click through, not just mock-ups?

How to check: open three sites from the portfolio on your phone. Do they load fast, and can you contact the business from them?

Clear prices

Is the price stated plainly, without “call us for a quote” and without a subscription you only hear about after signing?

How to check: look for a pricing page and ask what exactly is included and what costs extra.

Reply time

How fast do they answer before you are a client? It is the best preview of what comes later.

How to check: send a short question by e-mail or through the form and note how many hours the reply takes.

After the launch

Are you left alone with a login, or does someone still pick up the phone when something stops working?

How to check: ask who handles updates, backups and small changes after launch, and what it costs.

Start at 0 zł and decide after a month

You do not have to take my word that the website will work. You can simply see it. On the monthly plan the first month is free, and you get the first version of your site within days.

  1. Day 0

    You order and pay 0 zł

    You pick a package and add a card, but nothing is charged. No setup fee, no deposit.

  2. Day 5

    You see the finished site

    The first version is ready 5 working days after the brief (an online shop: 10 working days).

  3. Days 5-30

    Three weeks to decide

    The site is live and you check whether it brings enquiries. You still have not paid a penny.

  4. Day 30

    You stay or you cancel

    Stay: the first monthly payment starts. Cancel: we part ways at no cost, no explanations needed.

After that from 30 zł a month (about €7), depending on the package. Prices are final, nothing is added at the end. Prefer to pay once? A one-off site starts at 800 zł and is yours from day one.

After launch: everything in one panel

The website is one thing. The other is the everyday small stuff: invoices, payments, your Google profile, checking that the site works. With me it all sits in one panel instead of five tabs and two inboxes. The panel account is free, so you can use it before you order anything.

Summary

You do not need to limit your search to an agency in your own town. A portfolio, clear prices and reply time tell you more about the work ahead than the address in the footer, and everything else happens by phone, e-mail and video anyway.

If you still wonder whether it will work for you: on the monthly plan you pay nothing for the first month. The first version of the site is ready within days, and then you have three weeks to check it calmly. No enquiries? You cancel and pay nothing.
