WEB APPS& WEBSITES.
Freelance web developer with 15 years of experience. I build web apps, interfaces and websites.
- 15 years in web
- Remote, EU core hours
- Built and running: klz-cables.com · e-tib.com
01HelloHello
I am Marc.
I have been building for the web for 15 years: first in agencies, later as a senior developer, and now on my own.
My strength is the part people see and use: design and interface. I am also at home with what lies behind it, so I can build a complete application and not just its surface.
You work with me directly. Whether you run a product team or are commissioning something like this for the first time.
The path so far
- 2011Started in the webApprenticeship
- 2014 – 2020AgenciesFrontend developer
- 2020 – 2023Product companiesSenior software developer
- TodayIndependentWorking directly with clients
That is me. Now to you.

What do you need? Four typical cases.
An experienced developer who joins your project.
You have a product and more work than your team can handle. I work on agreed days of the week on what is next on your list: new features, the interface, or the parts nobody gets around to.
What you get
- Web apps, dashboards, customer portals and internal tools
- Interfaces with attention to design and usability
- Web3 frontends: wallet connection, live data, dashboards
- Small tools and automation for recurring work
How it runs
A first call, about 20 minutesA first call, about 20 minutes1 / 4
What it costs
By effort, for as long as your project runs
I work on your project on agreed days of the week and bill the hours I actually worked. There is no package to buy and no minimum term.
Per hour
100 EUR
net
Per day
800 EUR
8 hours, net
One invoice per month, with the tracked hours. Either side can end it with two weeks notice to the end of a month.
Get in touchA week to look at your app and fix what is most urgent.
The app works, but bugs come back and small changes take longer than they should. I take a week to go through the code, fix what I can in that time and write down what I would do next.
What you get
- An honest assessment: what is solid and what is fragile
- Automated tests for the most important parts
- The most urgent problems fixed, as far as a week allows
- A written list of next steps, in plain language
How it runs
A first call, about 20 minutesA first call, about 20 minutes1 / 4
What it costs
A fixed week at a fixed price
The scope is one week of my time. You know the cost before I start.
One week, 35 hours
3,500 EUR
net
A week does not fix everything. If I see in the first call that it will not be enough to be useful, I tell you.
Get in touchSystems that pass work on to each other, so people do not have to.
Someone exports a list here, types it in there and sends an email about it. I connect the tools you already use, so that recurring steps run on their own and your people can do the work that needs them.
What you get
- Connections between your systems through their interfaces (APIs)
- Recurring workflows that run without manual steps
- Where it helps, steps handled with AI: sorting, summarising, reading documents
- A short description of how it works, so it can be maintained
How it runs
A first call, about 20 minutesA first call, about 20 minutes1 / 4
What it costs
An estimate first, then a budget
Once I have seen the process I estimate the hours. That estimate becomes the budget. I bill the hours I actually needed and tell you early if it will not be enough.
Per hour
100 EUR
net
How long it takes depends on the process, so there is no price before I have seen it. Fees for the tools themselves are paid by you.
Get in touchA website, built and looked after for you.
You do not want to learn a website builder or deal with hosting. You tell me what your business does and what the site should achieve. I design it, build it and put it online.
What you get
- A design made for your business, not a template
- Works on phone, tablet and desktop
- Hosting taken care of, no server for you to manage
- Changes by email: you write what you need, I make the change

What it costs
An estimate first, then a budget
After the first call you get an estimate. It becomes your budget: I bill the hours actually used. The estimate usually holds, and if it will not, I tell you before the budget is used up.

Hosting and small changes afterwards cost a monthly fee that we agree on before we start. I do not manage email inboxes; they stay with your provider.

03Process automationProcess automation00000011
Let the systems do the copying.
In most companies, people move information from one tool to another: read it here, type it in there, send an email about it. Automation connects those tools so that the work passes from one to the next on its own. Three typical examples:
running
A new order arrives in the shop. The invoice, the customer record and the confirmation follow without anyone typing.
Log
- 01order received
- Trigger: something happens
- Rule: a fixed check
- Action: a system does something
By hand
Someone opens the order, writes the invoice, updates the customer record and sends an email.
Automated
The order triggers everything. People only see the finished result.
Worth automating when
- The same steps repeat every day or every week
- Data is typed from one tool into another
- Mistakes happen because the work is monotonous
What stays with people
- Decisions and exceptions
- Anything a customer should hear from a person
- The final say when the automation is unsure
What I need from you
- Access to the tools and their interfaces (APIs)
- Someone who knows the process as it is done today
- Real examples to test with
And sometimes the right thing is not an app at all.
04Web presentationsWeb presentations00000100
A presentation as a link. Not as an attachment.
Most presentations are still slide files: one fixed format, sent around as an attachment. I build presentations as websites. They open in any browser, adapt to the screen they are shown on, and can contain things a slide cannot.
Shown on
Fits every screen
A slide has one fixed format. A web presentation rearranges itself for the projector, the laptop and the phone.
One link, one version
Nobody has to ask which file is the current one. You change it in one place, and everyone who opens the link sees that state.
Shows the real thing
Current figures, a working demo or a clickable prototype can sit inside the presentation, instead of a screenshot of them.
Still useful afterwards
After the meeting it is a page people can read on their own, pass on and find again.
Typical uses
- Company and product presentations
- Pitches and offers sent as a link
- Reports with figures that change
- Screens at trade fairs and events
When slides are enough
For a single internal meeting, a slide file is quicker and cheaper. A web presentation is worth it when it is shown often, sent to many people, or stands for your company.
Ask about a presentation →Whatever you need: this is how working together goes.
05Working with meWorking with me00000101
How I work. Nothing unusual.
One contact
You talk to me, and I am the one who does the work.
Hours you can check
I track my time. The monthly invoice shows what the hours were spent on.
Careful work
I test what I build before I hand it over, and I say so when something is not finished or I am not sure.
What I build is yours
Code and design belong to you. You can hand them to another developer.
And this is what the result looks like.
06My workMy work00000110
Two sites I built. Both are live.

e-tib.com
The company website of a group in cable network construction, in German and English.
- Pages for services, references, careers and events
- The same content in two languages
- Works on phone, tablet and desktop

Besides client work I build my own software, among other things a system in Rust and Solidity that runs on seven blockchains.
That leaves the questions that almost always come up.
07QuestionsQuestions00000111
Good to know before we talk.
I am not technical. Is that a problem?+
No. I explain what I am doing in plain language, and you can ask at any time. You do not need to read code.
How long am I committed?+
Project work is billed by effort. Either side can end it with two weeks notice to the end of a month.
Who owns what you build?+
You do. Code and design belong to you, and you can hand them to another developer.
Can you work with our existing team and code?+
Yes. I worked in agencies and product teams for years, so joining an existing project is familiar to me.
How do I reach you?+
By email or video call. I work remotely and am available during European business hours.
What do you not do?+
Mobile apps for the app stores, Windows software and running your servers. If your project needs those, I say so in the first call.
LET'STALK.
Pick what you need and the email writes itself. Or write to me directly:
