My story

How I got here

The studio writes: "The site is ready, please sign the acceptance act" — in other words, confirm the work is accepted. How do you know whether to sign if you're not a developer? A business owner came to me with exactly this question a few days before his meeting with the studio.

I checked the site. There were bugs, but they weren't the main thing. He didn't know what should be handed over with the site, what would happen after a short warranty, or what to ask at the meeting. We split everything into three lists — fix before signing, before running ads and under warranty — and prepared the questions.

That's when I realised: people don't need a list of bugs, they need someone on their side. Better from the start than on the last day before sign-off.

I've spent eight years testing websites and software, and I know that "done" and "working" are not the same. Once a test report came back all green — "everything's fine". But the checks inside had never actually run. A studio can say "done" in good faith too. That's why I check a site the way your customer will use it.

Now I get involved earlier — as soon as you receive the contract, when almost everything can still be changed. My own website checking system, Klarense, helps me, but the conclusions are mine and I stand behind them.

What's behind this

Tested by hand

Went through websites and software like a real customer: every form, every step.

Wrote automated tests

Programs that go through a site on their own and catch what the eye misses.

Project quality

I was responsible for it at a US agency: deadlines, handover, reports.

My own system, Klarense

Goes through every page of a site, finds errors and collects evidence.

My own site first

I checked my site the same way as yours

If a checking tool finds nothing on its author's own site, you can't trust it. Klarense found problems on mine too. I show them openly: what's fine, what isn't and what I'm fixing.

My rules

Only you pay me

I take no money, commissions or orders from studios. I work only for you.

I don't build the site

The site I check is built by the studio, not by me. So I look at it from the outside.

Points, not people

With the studio I talk calmly, by the contract, not about people. Legal points I mark "check with a lawyer".

Your contract stays private

I show your contract and site to no one. An example in a video — only with your written consent.

Questions about me

What do you look at in the contract?

Whose name the site address is registered in, whether the code and design pass to you, what counts as paid extra work, how the work is accepted and what the warranty covers.

What happens after I click the button?

A short form: your situation and one contact. I reply within a working day and suggest a time for a 20-minute call. No passwords or access are needed at this step.

How much does it cost?

The call is free. Contract review — from €150, site check before sign-off — from €450. I name the exact amount in writing before the work starts.

My studio meeting is in a few days. Can you make it?

An urgent check before sign-off takes 48 hours. Put your meeting date in the request and I'll tell you right away whether we can make it.

There are no reviews on the site. Why trust you?

This service is new, and I publish client stories only with their written consent. You can check me yourself: a free 20-minute call, the check of my own site above and a sample report on the "How I work" page.

Tell me what stage your website is at

20 minutes, free. I'll tell you honestly whether you need me — and if you don't, I'll say so.
