I'm Alicja. I build websites and WooCommerce stores for small brands in Poland, Norway and Canada. I also sort out the compliance and look after the site afterwards, because that's usually the part nobody wants to think about.
They come up with almost every site someone brings me.
Someone lands on the homepage, can't work out what you sell or what to do next, and leaves. Nine times out of ten that's the writing rather than the design.
Cookie consent, GDPR, terms of sale, VAT on orders going abroad. It's dull, it's easy to put off, and it gets a lot more expensive once it's an actual problem.
The build finishes and that's the last anyone touches it. A year later the plugins are out of date, the backups were never checked, and nobody can find the login.
I try to get all three right the first time round. The writing comes before the design, the legal bits are part of the build, and there's a care package if you'd rather someone kept an eye on it afterwards.
Seven projects in Poland, Norway and Canada. Stores, clinics, studios and personal brands.

I have got two slots open this quarter. If you are selling something you care about, I would like to see it.
Scope and price get agreed before I start, so you're not watching a meter run.
Service businesses and studios
Brands selling products or places
A site that exists but isn't working
Every build comes with a care package, quoted alongside it. Updates each month, backups I actually check, uptime and security monitoring, and an allowance of content changes.
I can run these as well as build the site. That mostly matters because the two have to agree with each other.
Over the same month 56% of the studio's walk-in slots were booked online, and online bookings ran about 19% higher in value than walk-ups.
You'll always know where the project is and what's coming next.
Half an hour, free, no slide deck. What you sell, who buys it, what's getting in the way. If I'm not the right fit I'll tell you.
A sitemap, what goes on each page, a design direction and a price. You sign it off before I build anything.
Design and development on a private link you can check whenever you like. Two rounds of feedback along the way.
We go live, I check the compliance and turn on analytics, and record a walkthrough for you. Then 30 days of fixes, and a care package if you want one.
I'm Alicja and Pracownia Elevate is just me. I build websites and WooCommerce stores for small brands across Poland, Norway, and Canada.
You work directly with me, which means accountability and a close eye on your project from start to finish.
Having run a business on both sides of the Atlantic, I know the admin behind the design is where projects usually break. This is why I also help with compliance, and offer care packages after we're done building.
Send me a paragraph about what you sell and where it's stuck. I'll tell you what I think, including if I'm not the right person for it.
