Thirty years of IT includes a long run of web design work — trade businesses, personal brands, luxury brand ecosystems, and editorial sites built entirely from scratch. Every site here was designed and built by the same person who will build yours.
The anchor of the Kalica ecosystem. Dark luxury aesthetic, Cormorant Garamond typography, and a hero that announces the brand in a single screen. Built to feel like a statement, not a website. The gold "I" in the logotype is intentional — a mark you remember.
kalica.co.ukPersonal English-language guided tours, built to feel warm and authoritative. Serif typography, a muted terracotta and teal palette, and copy that does the selling without feeling like a brochure. Fully responsive, Formspree-powered enquiry flow, SEO-ready for when the tours launch.
tours.kalica.co.ukA custom WordPress theme built entirely from scratch — no page builder, no off-the-shelf template. Editorial cream aesthetic, Libre Baskerville body type, a live Italy distance counter in the index, and 66+ posts from across Europe. Looks and reads like a proper publication.
runner.kalica.co.ukCustom WordPress theme with a spinning vinyl hero, genre-specific waveform colour profiles, and a mixes library with search, genre filter, and sort — all without a plugin. Eight distinct visual identities for eight genres, built as a single coherent system. The kind of site that makes a promoter take the email seriously.
dj.kalica.co.ukA long-standing client site for a Dorset-based carpentry and building contractor — kitchens, extensions, decking, restoration projects. Gallery-led, easy to navigate, built to generate enquiries from homeowners who want to see the work before they pick up the phone. The kind of site that just works, year after year.
No templates, no page builders, no AI-generated layouts. Every site starts with a brief, a direction, and a blank file. The result looks like it was made for you — because it was.
WordPress when you need to manage your own content. Custom HTML/CSS when you need something leaner, faster, and completely under control. The right tool for the job — not the easiest one for the developer.
Design, build, copy, deployment, DNS, hosting setup, email forwarding, contact forms — all handled by the same person. No briefing a designer who briefs a developer who briefs a copywriter.
Sites built to last and easy to hand over. Clean code, documented structure, no proprietary lock-in. If you ever want to take it in-house or move to another developer, nothing is hidden.
The portfolio above shows a selection of sites — the Kalica family in full, and one named client example with permission. Most client work is not shown here by name. If you want to see more — specific sectors, styles, or technical requirements — just ask in a call. There is more to show.
A new site, a rebuild, or a site that's been neglected and needs bringing back to life. Start with a conversation — no pitch, no slide deck, no obligation.
