About

Twenty-two years building websites for small businesses.

I started building websites in 2004, hand-coding layouts before content management systems were common. Through custom web development work, digital leadership roles, and years working daily with landing pages, websites, and performance data, one thing stayed constant: a website is a business tool. It works or it doesn’t. Design matters, build quality matters, and somebody has to care enough to get both right.

Ratiom is a new business. The experience behind it isn’t. I’m British, based in Kraków, and I work with local service businesses across the US. I’ve spent years working with the US market, and being based in Poland helps me offer a more competitive fixed price without cutting corners on quality.

The short version of how I got here.

2004

Started in web design

Hand-coding business websites and learning how the web actually works underneath it all.

Your site is built with a proper understanding of web design — not assembled from a generic template without real thought behind it.

2010

Custom web development

Building custom websites and content tools for businesses that needed sites they could manage.

You get web development experience built up over many years — not something picked up recently and still being figured out.

2015

Director of Digital Development, BM Soho

Leading digital work across web, ecommerce, and online marketing for clients who cared about results.

Websites had to justify their existence as business tools, not just design pieces. Process and delivery matter.

2020

AdRoll, via MediaMint

Working in advertising technology, spending time daily with websites, landing pages, and campaign performance data.

Reviewing websites and digital campaigns daily, at scale, builds grounded judgment about what works and what doesn’t.

2026

Ratiom

Custom websites for US local service businesses, fixed at $1500 — one focused product.

Everything above goes into a single product: custom website design, delivered personally and priced to make sense.

Three things I don’t compromise on.

01

One price, quoted upfront

No hidden fees, no surprise retainers. You know exactly what you'll pay before we start.

02

Plain language, always

No jargon. We talk about your services and your customers, not the technology underneath.

03

I put my name on the work.

Your website is designed, built, and delivered by me — not passed to someone else.
