Brightwake Design

Some work doesn't
fit a template.

You are one thing in a room and something thinner on a screen. I build websites for coaches, facilitators and people leading change — by hand, one at a time — so what you actually do survives the trip.



What you get

Three things, and none
of them are a theme.

01

A design language of your own

Colour, type, texture and motion chosen for how you actually work — then written down, so it holds across your site, your emails, your cards, anything with your name on it.

02

Words you can change yourself

Tap the text on your live page, from your phone. Type. Press publish. It is live in about a minute. No dashboard to learn, no plugin to keep updated.

03

The parts that run themselves

Booking that fills your calendar. Card, PayPal, SEPA, Apple and Google Pay. Confirmations that go out whether or not you remember.

And no monthly platform fee, ever. The site is plain files you own — it will still work in ten years, on any host, with or without me.


Three ways to change it

And when you need to change something?

Most people only think to ask after they have been trapped once. There are three answers here, and you can use all of them.

Tell me

Send a text, a WhatsApp, a voice note. Describe it however it comes out. It is done within hours.

Do it yourself

Tap the words on your own page and type. Press publish. That is the entire process.

Built for your need

An event manager, a gallery, a price list, a members area. Made for how you work — not adapted from something that nearly fits.


Care

You never have to think
about any of it.

Domain, hosting, certificates, backups, the German legal pages. Held, renewed and kept current. If you would rather never find out what a nameserver is, you never will.

This is the part most people actually want. Building the site is a few weeks. Keeping it alive is the rest of its life.

€49 / month, or €490 a year

Includes the small things — a changed price, a new photo, a paragraph reworded. Bigger work is quoted when you want it, never assumed and never billed by surprise.


How it works

Five steps, no mystery.

01

We talk

Forty-five minutes, free. What you do, who it is for, and what is currently in the way.

02

You get a price

Fixed, in writing, before anything starts. Not hourly. It does not move later.

03

A first look

Usually inside a week. A real page in a browser you can scroll — not a picture of one.

04

We shape it

You react, I adjust. This is the part people tend to enjoy.

05

It goes live

And stays that way. I keep the lights on for as long as you want me to.


Fit

This is for you if

You work with people and it is personal. Your website embarrasses you a little. You have outgrown a template, or never wanted one. You want the thing to handle booking and money without you. You would rather send someone a voice note than learn another dashboard.

Probably not if

You need a shop with hundreds of products. You need it by Friday. You already know exactly what you want and just need a pair of hands. Or the cheapest quote is the one that wins — that is a real answer, just not mine.

If someone came to mind while you were reading that — that is who I am looking for.


Why me

I have sat in
both chairs.

I studied mechanical engineering and design thinking. I have also spent years as a facilitator and bodyworker — running retreats, holding rooms, sitting with people while something shifts.

So I know what a container is. I know why the third paragraph matters more than the photograph at the top. And I know how to build the thing.

That combination is most of what you are paying for. Plenty of people can make a website. Fewer can make one that still sounds like you six months later.

What it costs

In public, where
it belongs.

Foundation

One deep page, your design system, booking, contact, the German legal pages, and the editor so you can change the words. Domain and hosting set up and handed over working.

€2,000–3,000

Practice

Five to eight pages, a commissioned set of artwork with its own style guide, payments and automated confirmations. Everything in Foundation.

€3,000–4,000

Care

Everything kept alive, current and legal, with the small changes included. Month to month — cancel whenever you like.

€49/mo

Introductory rate for the first five projects. German and English together, newsletters and HTML emails, event pages that take deposits — quoted when you want them.


Build your brief

Pick what you'd
actually want.

It takes a minute, and it tells me far more than a contact form would. Nothing here is binding.

Or skip all that and
just talk to me.

Forty-five minutes, free, no pitch at the end.

This loads a calendar from TidyCal. Nothing is sent to them until you press it.
