Web design & development in Athens

Websites that explain your offer, show your work and make it easy to get in touch.

I’m Ronny Sarianides, a web designer and developer based in Athens. I work with businesses, independent professionals and creative brands in Greece and internationally. We start with what your customers need to understand, then shape the content, design and functionality around it.

A website built around your business

Service websites and landing pages

Give prospective customers the information they need to choose your business: what you do, who you help, examples of your work and how to enquire. We decide which services need their own pages and what each page should help someone do.

Portfolios and online shops

A portfolio needs to make your work easy to explore. A shop needs clear categories, product information and a route to purchase. We agree the content structure, required functions and any payment or external-system connections before building.

Greek and English websites

If you serve both audiences, we plan the pages and content for each language, including navigation and contact links. My own site uses separate English and Greek service URLs. Your proposal will specify the language versions and who supplies or adapts the copy.

Mobile usability and the SEO foundation

I check the agreed pages on phones and larger screens, including navigation, images and enquiry routes. Page titles, descriptions, internal links and indexability checks form part of the agreed launch scope. Ongoing keyword research, content development and search-performance work are covered by SEO services.

Selected work

CB AutoTech - Premium Car Customization & Performance Parts EShop

CB AutoTech

Premium car customization and performance parts eshop for automotive enthusiasts.

The website separates on-road and off-road shopping paths and gives visitors product categories, a vehicle-model route and search by brand, model or OEM number. It illustrates why an online shop needs more than an attractive homepage: customers need ways to narrow down a relevant product.

For your project, we would define the product information, navigation and compatibility requirements before agreeing the build.

Lara Melachrinou Art - Contemporary Art Gallery

Lara Melachrinou

Contemporary art portfolio and gallery showcase.

Lara’s site gives the artwork the main stage, then offers collections and individual painting links. Visitors can move from an introduction to the work into a particular collection, with titles and medium details helping them understand what they are viewing.

For a portfolio, I work through how the work should be grouped, what information belongs with each piece and how new work will be added.

The Purple Owl - Day and Evening Lounge

The Purple Owl

The Purple Owl is a new day and evening lounge in London, offering arts and crafts workshops, creative cocktails, fine wines, and live music.

The website gives creative experiences and lounge table bookings separate routes. Someone booking an activity needs different information from someone arranging drinks with friends. Distinct navigation and booking labels make those choices visible.

It is a useful example for businesses with several services: each offer needs the right information and a relevant next step.

Financial-services website design: VX Partners

For VX Partners, the website gives financial services, new enquiries and access to existing client platforms distinct routes. The VX Partners financial-services website case study explains the service structure, language choices and the scope of its custom converter.

From the brief to launch

1. Agree the scope
We define the audience, pages, languages, functions and content. The proposal sets out what I will deliver, what you will supply and the review stages. Product catalogues, booking services and other integrations are identified here, rather than left as assumptions.
2. Design the visitor’s journey
We organize the content and main actions before development moves ahead. You review the agreed design direction and page structure. We also decide how you will manage the site after launch, so editing requirements inform the platform choice.
3. Build, check and hand over
I build and check the agreed pages and interactions on desktop and mobile. For a redesign, we identify useful existing pages and URLs, map any changes and check the relevant redirects. Handover covers the agreed access, editing workflow and responsibilities after launch.

Before we start

WordPress or a custom website?

The choice depends on the functions you need and who will update the site. For WordPress, we assess the editing workflow, plugins and maintenance requirements. For a custom build, we define how content changes will work and whether a management interface is needed. A custom visual design does not automatically require a custom platform.

If the main requirement is an interface for users, data and recurring tasks, we can scope it as a custom web application.

Can I update the website myself?

We decide which changes you need to make—such as adding artwork, updating services or managing products—and specify the editing access in the proposal. Neither WordPress nor custom development automatically answers every editing requirement.

How much will it cost, and how long will it take?

The quote and schedule follow the agreed pages, functions, languages and available content. A portfolio, a product catalogue and a venue with several booking paths have different requirements. We separate the build fee from recurring costs such as hosting, domains, third-party licences and any ongoing support. If you have a launch date in mind, include it in your brief.

Use my checklist to compare web design proposals.

What will I receive, and what support is included?

The proposal defines the pages and functions, account access and handover. We clarify domain and hosting ownership, rights to the supplied work and any third-party licence restrictions. We also agree who handles updates, backups and content changes, and which support is included or separately quoted.

Do I need a full redesign?

We can start by assessing the existing site. If its structure and platform still serve the business, targeted improvements may be enough. If the requirements have changed substantially, we identify what to retain and what needs rebuilding.

Read my guide to a website redesign versus a refresh.

Start with your brief

Send your current website, what your business offers and who you want to reach. Include the pages, languages and functions you need, the content you already have and any target launch date. I’ll use that to discuss the scope and a suitable next step.
