Web developer in Lodz

Websites, online stores and technical SEO for Lodz businesses — built remotely from Islamabad, quoted in PLN, scoped in writing before anything starts.

Businesses in Lodz usually come to me after a site has already been built once and disappointed. That is a useful starting point, because it means the requirements are no longer theoretical — you know exactly which parts failed. Rebuilding from a list of specific complaints produces a far better result than rebuilding from a mood board.

What working with a Polish client actually changes

These are the terms that differ by country rather than by town. They apply to every business in Poland, Lodz included, and they are the substance of what this page is claiming.

Quoted and invoiced in PLN — never a converted figure presented at the end
Tax position VAT at 23%, reverse-charged
Your customers' data sits under the EU GDPR
Lawful transfer mechanism a DPA with EU Standard Contractual Clauses
Checkout can realistically use BLIK, Przelewy24, PayU, and Stripe
My day, in Lodz time 06:00–15:00 — about 6 hours inside a normal working day

One thing worth knowing about building for Poland

BLIK is a six-digit code generated in the banking app and it is how a large share of Polish buyers pay. It has no real analogue in a Western checkout, so it needs designing in rather than appending to a card form.

How a Lodz build is scoped before anything is written

Scope is fixed in writing before development starts, and the number in that document is the number on the invoice. For Lodz projects that document lists every page, every form, every integration and every third-party account the site will touch — priced in PLN, not converted at the end from something else.

The reason this matters more than it sounds: almost every dispute in web development is a scope dispute wearing a different hat. "Can you just add" is how a three-day build becomes a three-week one. Fixing scope up front does not stop you changing your mind; it makes the cost of changing your mind visible before you commit to it, which is the only honest way to run a fixed price.

Professional services in Lodz

Accountants, solicitors, consultants and agencies sell judgement, which cannot be photographed. What converts instead is specificity: the sectors you actually work in, the size of client you actually serve, and named people with real biographies. A professional services site full of stock imagery and the word "bespoke" is indistinguishable from every competitor in Lodz.

Practically, the site's job is qualification rather than lead volume. Publishing your minimum engagement size loses you enquiries and saves you hours, and almost every practice I have built for concluded afterwards that it should have done it sooner.

Analytics that has never once been looked at

Most sites carry a tracking tag and no measurement. Nobody defined what counts as a conversion, so the dashboard reports sessions and bounce rate — numbers that move up and down and change no decision anybody makes.

Useful measurement is narrow: form submissions, phone taps, WhatsApp clicks, and which pages preceded them. Four numbers checked monthly beat forty never opened, and knowing which Lodz search terms actually produce enquiries is what turns the site from a cost into something you can steer.

Hiring a developer who is not in Lodz

Working across a border adds one genuine obligation most suppliers skip: your customers' personal data ends up being processed in a country their privacy notice probably does not mention. Under EU GDPR that is your liability, not mine. It is handled here before you ask — the mechanism is published, pre-signed and linked from every page on this site.

What I build for Lodz businesses

Fixed-scope, fixed-price, quoted in PLN. The full list is on the services page.

E-commerce website development I build online stores end to end — catalogue, cart, Stripe checkout, order emails and the technical SEO that gets them found. Six of the fifteen sites I have shipped are e-commerce builds, and every one of them takes real payments. From $150 · 7 days Technical SEO audits and implementation Most SEO audits hand you a 60-page document and an invoice. I am a developer first, so I find the problems and then fix them in the codebase — crawlability, indexation, schema, Core Web Vitals, and whether AI answer engines can read your site at all. From $80 · 3 days Business website development Most small business websites fail at one job: turning a stranger who searched for your service into a phone call. I build the version that does — three days, mobile-first, live on your own hosting, with the enquiry form tested before anybody sees it. From $80 · 3 days Custom website development A template is the right answer more often than developers like to admit. This page is about the times it is not — when the thing your business does has a shape no theme author anticipated, and forcing it into one costs more in permanent workarounds than building it properly would have cost once. From $200 · 10 days Web application development A website presents information. An application does work — it holds state, enforces rules, and produces something at the end. Most businesses that need the second one are running it on a spreadsheet nobody is allowed to sort, and paying for that in errors rather than in software. From $200 · 10 days

What I am not claiming about Lodz

A location page is the easiest place on a website to imply something untrue, so here is the other side of it plainly:

Lodz web development — common questions

What currency will I be invoiced in?
PLN. Quotes, milestones and the final invoice are all written in PLN so you are never comparing a converted figure against a local supplier's. Regarding tax: VAT at 23%, reverse-charged.
Who owns the website when it is finished?
You do, completely. The domain is registered in your name, hosting sits in your account, the code lives in a repository you control, and any payment provider account is opened in your business name. Credentials are handed to you as they are created rather than at the end, so you are never locked out of your own site.
How do you handle our customers' data under EU GDPR?
Your customer data is governed by the EU GDPR, and sending it to a developer in Pakistan is a restricted transfer. That is resolved by a DPA with EU Standard Contractual Clauses, published on this site and pre-signed before you send an enquiry — not drafted after you ask about it.
What payment methods can my Lodz checkout accept?
For Poland: BLIK, Przelewy24, PayU, and Stripe. The right combination depends on your average basket and your customers, and picking wrong is expensive — the payment method a buyer expects but cannot find is one of the most common reasons a checkout is abandoned at the final step.
How long does a Lodz project actually take?
Three days for a business site, seven for a store, ten for a custom application. That holds because the process is fixed rather than improvised and because your content exists on day one. What stretches a build is almost never the code — it is waiting for copy, logos and photographs, so those are requested before the clock starts.
What hours will you be available to us in Lodz?
My working day lands at 06:00–15:00 in your time, which is roughly 6 hours inside a normal Lodz working day. In practice you can raise something in the morning and have it answered the same morning, and a scheduled call is easy to place at a civilised hour for both of us.
Can you fix my existing site rather than rebuild it?
Often, yes, and it is usually the cheaper answer. Speed problems, a broken mobile layout, a form that silently fails or missing structured data are all fixable on the site you already have. I will tell you which of the two you need after looking, and a rebuild only gets recommended when the fix would cost more than starting again.

Where this page sits

This page covers Lodz. Every other town in Poland is listed on the Poland coverage page, and the full worldwide list is at all locations.

Before you enquire: pricing is published rather than quoted on request, how I work covers the process end to end, the work page lists live client sites you can open, and vendor information answers the procurement questions.
