Hi, I’m Karel.
Professional website builder,
accidental nomad.
Hi, I’m a freelance full-stack web designer with more than 20 years of experience building websites for businesses, entrepreneurs, and wonderfully eccentric humans around the world. Even Google like me, sometimes, when I’m not stuffing keywords.
My speciality is creating websites that are fast, functional, easy to manage, and designed for real people. No unnecessary complications. No baffling technical jargon. No requiring a ceremonial sacrifice just to update your homepage.
I’ve worked with clients across Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America, helping them build an online presence that actually serves a purpose rather than simply existing as an expensive digital ornament.
Currently based in the Czech Republic and occasionally daydreaming about the Philippines, I work remotely with clients worldwide and am always happy to discuss new projects.
Because at the end of the day, every business deserves a website that works properly. It’s a surprisingly low bar, yet here we are.
A Few Things I’ve Built Properly
Three recent builds. Zero page builders. Zero plugin bloat. Just clean code that loads fast and doesn’t fall over. (See the full portfolio for the rest.)
Identity Beauty Awards
Registration platform for online and live permanent make-up events. Hand-coded membership system, PHP email handlers, and custom form logic.
Exira Productions
Czech PR and events agency with 26 years of history. Hand-coded showcase for fashion shows, sport events, and social productions. Custom form logic included.
Drift Era
Fully hand-coded e-commerce for 90s JDM and Euro Classic car hoodies. Front-end on WordPress, Magento Open Source backend via SSH. Zero plugins except payment portals. Pure genius setup.
That’s the highlight reel. There’s more where that came from.

“I don’t use page builders. I don’t install 47 plugins to do one job. I write the code, I know what every line does, and when something breaks, I fix it, not troubleshoot which plugin update caused the apocalypse.”— Me, every time someone asks why their Elementor site loads in 8 seconds
