Small by choice. Strategic by nature.
Your business has outgrown its website. We design and build custom Webflow sites for founder-led companies, planned around your goals, live in six to eight weeks, and handed over so you own everything. Plain language the whole way.
"Behind every website is a real business, real goals, and real people counting on it. That's why we care about every project we take on."
The same gap, over and over.
We grew up alongside the internet, and we kept noticing the same thing: businesses with real value struggling to show it online. The quality was obvious the moment you walked in or picked up the phone, and invisible on the website.
It's rarely for lack of effort. Getting design right takes a specific kind of expertise, process, and time that most businesses don't have in-house. So the site ends up looking dated, or confusing people, or quietly failing to convert. A genuinely good business, held back by a version of itself that doesn't match.
That gap is why we started Brightline. We're a small team with one job: help founder-led businesses look online as good as they already are, and grow because of it.
Design is a strategic tool, not a production task.
When design gets the right process, the right questions, and enough care, it stops being decoration. Four things we hold to on every project.
Strategy before pixels
We ask questions before opening any design tool, and wireframe before we touch visuals. Every decision traces back to a business goal.
Empathy first
We listen more than we talk. Your goals, your customers, your context. That's where the work starts.
Honest communication
No smoke and mirrors. You always know where things stand, what's next, and why. Including when something is going slower than we hoped.
Collaborative by nature
We work with you, not just for you. The best outcomes come from both sides being genuinely involved.
Two people. That's the whole studio.
No account managers, no juniors, no rotating team. The people you meet on the first call are the people doing the work on the last day.
Mike Checinski
Mike is the first voice you'll hear when you reach out. With a background in technology and business, he brings a structured, people-first approach to every client relationship. He listens carefully, communicates clearly, and makes sure nothing gets lost between the first conversation and the final delivery. He's the reason clients always know where things stand.
Michaela Fodorova
Miška is the designer and Webflow developer behind every Brightline project. With over a decade of hands-on experience across web design, branding, graphic design, and front-end development, she brings both technical depth and strategic thinking to every project. She works primarily in Figma and Webflow, and she asks a lot of questions before she opens either one. Because the right questions lead to the right solutions.
Work that fits around life. Life that feeds the work.
Brightline is fully remote, which means the work can happen anywhere. A café in the city, a co-working space mid-trip, the passenger seat on a long drive. Getting out of the usual environment tends to spark the best thinking, so we lean into it.
We're curious people. We go to concerts, galleries, and exhibitions. We travel when we can, and we pay attention to how the world is designed, not just screens but spaces, objects, and experiences. That curiosity feeds directly into how we approach every project.
We also believe the best work comes from people who actually enjoy their lives. So we try to enjoy ours.
How we show up, every project.
Curious
We pay attention to the world around us, and it feeds directly into how we design.
Prepared
We come to every meeting with an agenda and written inputs. Your time matters and we treat it that way.
Responsive
We don't leave things hanging. Every message that needs a reply gets one, even if it's just "I'll look at this on Friday."
Balanced
Healthy work produces better work. We respect boundaries, ours and yours.
Adventurous
We work from wherever we are, because freedom of environment sparks better thinking.
Collaborative
We work with you, not just for you. Both sides involved, start to finish.
Founder-led businesses, and the agencies who serve them.
Founder-led businesses
Companies past the "get anything up" stage, where the site now has to sell, recruit, and build trust. Usually the founder is the decision maker, and the business is personal to them. That's our favourite kind of project.
Marketing and design agencies
Teams who are excellent at what they do and occasionally need senior design or Webflow capacity they can put their name on. Fully white-label.
The questions founders actually ask.
Web design and Webflow development, UX audits, branding, and graphic design. Every project starts with strategy and is built around your specific goals. We also have trusted partners for SEO, PPC, and content when a project needs the wider picture.
Founder-led businesses who have outgrown their first website, and agencies who need senior design or Webflow capacity they can put their name on. If you see design as an investment rather than a cost to minimise, and you want a partner who treats your business like their own, we will get on well.
Every project follows the same shape: discovery, strategy, design, build, and launch. We start by understanding your business, your customers, and what the site actually has to achieve. Then wireframes, design, development, testing, and training. You get a check-in after each phase, so nothing lands as a surprise at the end.
A UX audit starts at 1 200 EUR, a landing page at 3 200 EUR, and a full website at 7 500 EUR. Branding starts at 2 800 EUR for a refresh and 5 800 EUR for a full identity. Ongoing design support is 1 200 EUR per month, and hourly work is 85 EUR. Every project is scoped individually, but you deserve the ballpark before you book a call rather than after.
Less than you fear. A kickoff call, weekly check-ins, and feedback at a few agreed points. We structure the work so it ships even when you are busy, and we prepare everything so decisions are quick. You tell us your capacity and we plan around it, not the other way round.
It happens to almost every founder we work with. The fixed timeline and booked slot exist exactly for this. We keep momentum, chase what needs chasing, and make decisions easy, so the project does not quietly stall. If something genuinely has to pause, we would rather agree that openly than let it drift.
For the work we take on, yes, and it is deliberate. We run a small number of projects at a time so each one gets both of us properly, with no juniors learning on your budget. If a project genuinely needs more hands than we have, we will tell you on the first call and point you somewhere better.
We are based in Slovakia and work with clients worldwide, in English. Figma, Slack, and Loom keep remote collaboration smooth, and time zones have never been a problem. Most of our work happens with clients we have never met in person, and it works well.
Most studios treat design as a production line. Every project here gets a proper brief, strategy, wireframes, and real check-ins. You also talk to the two people doing the work, every week, with no account managers in between. The deliverable might look similar to what others offer. The thinking behind it, and the experience of getting there, is not.
A conversation is enough. We will ask about your business, your goals, your customers, and anything you already have such as brand materials or content. The more context you share, the smoother the project goes. Do not worry if things are not figured out yet, that is exactly what discovery is for.
Curious whether we're the right fit?
We'd love to hear what you're building. No pitch, no pressure, just an honest conversation about where you're going and whether we're the people to help you get there.
