Hi, I'm Tomi
I'm 36 years old, have two kids and live in Krapina, in the heart of the Croatian Zagorje region. This isn't a big agency with a team of 15 people and an office in downtown Zagreb. This is me, a laptop and coffee in the living room after the kids fall asleep.
And honestly? I think that's an advantage, not a drawback.
When you work with me, you communicate with the person who's actually building your website. No middlemen, no shuffling your project from one department to another, no waiting a week for someone to reply to your email. You write to me, I respond. Simple.
From Dreamweaver to today
My journey with computers started quite early. As a teenager, I was tinkering with HTML and CSS, building my first websites in Dreamweaver, while simultaneously writing desktop applications in C#. You know that phase when computers are more interesting than anything else? That was me. Except I never really grew out of it.
Over the years I worked on various digital projects. Among other things, I built a YouTube channel that surpassed 100,000 subscribers in 2015, earning a silver play button at a time when that was still a relatively rare achievement from Croatia. Through that process I learned things no school teaches: how to attract attention online, how to keep an audience, what makes people click, and what drives them away within three seconds.
I now apply that experience with audiences, content and digital marketing to web design. Because a website isn't just code and pixels. It's a tool that needs to attract visitors and turn them into customers.
Why not WordPress
I get this question a lot, so let me clarify right away. Most agencies use WordPress because it's quick to set up: install a theme, add a plugin for the contact form, another for SEO, another for speed, and you have a website in a few hours. The problem is that the site then depends on 20 plugins that need constant updates, slow down loading and pose a security risk.
The websites I build are different. No bulky systems running in the background. The result? They load in a fraction of a second, don't crash, don't need monthly plugin maintenance and are more secure because there's simply nothing to hack.
