About

Who I am

I'm Michal Plesner — an independent website designer and developer based in Witham, UK, working with people who have something worth making noise about.

I do the whole thing myself — design, build, motion and the SEO that gets it found — so nothing gets lost in a handoff. One person, one vision, from the first sketch to the last line of code.

I take on a handful of projects at a time so each one gets real attention. You work with me directly, start to finish — and I answer my own email.

Approach

How I work

Good work is rarely rushed. My process is deliberate and transparent, built on one principle: understand deeply before you make.

01

Discover

I start by listening — digging into the brief, the market, and the people you're trying to reach until the real problem comes into focus.

02

Define

Strategy and concept set the direction. We agree on what success looks like before a single pixel is drawn, so the work stays accountable to it.

03

Build

Design and code happen together. I craft the site in high fidelity and refine it in-browser — animation, performance and all — until it feels inevitable.

04

Grow

Launch is a milestone, not the finish line. I tune SEO, measure what matters, and keep the work sharp long after it ships.

My belief

Anyone can ship. I obsess over the detail.

What I do

Services

A focused set of services that work together — because a site needs to look right, move right, and actually get found.

I scope tightly and price transparently, then give the work the time it actually needs. Take one piece or the whole thing.

Web Design & BuildHand-coded HTML sites, designed and built from scratch — fast, responsive, no templates.

AnimationScroll, hover and load motion that makes a site feel alive without slowing it down.

Word

From our clients
Working with Plesner Studio felt less like hiring an agency and more like gaining a creative partner. They obsessed over details we didn't know mattered.
Elena Park— VP Brand, Meridian
They took a vague ambition and returned something sharper than we could have imagined. Six months on, it still sets the bar for everything we ship.
