You ask. We build.
Pyxel is a one-person web studio run by a senior software engineer with 15+ years building and running SaaS platforms. Websites, integrations and custom software — designed, built and kept running by the person who writes the code.

Services
From a simple website to the system behind your business.
Most studios stop at the website. Pyxel goes further: the integrations, automations and custom software that make the website actually useful.
02
Integrations & automation
Connect the tools you already pay for. Payments, CRMs, ERPs, accounting, email and spreadsheets talking to each other through APIs and webhooks — so data stops being copied by hand.
03
Custom web apps & SaaS
Booking systems, client portals, internal dashboards and multi-tenant SaaS backends. Designed for the long run: tested, documented and easy for the next developer to pick up.
04
Cloud, DevOps & rescue
AWS infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, cost reviews and production support. Inherited an old PHP app nobody wants to touch? Pyxel will sniff it out, stabilise it and modernise it step by step.
Process
How a project goes.
Clear scope, a fixed quote and frequent demos. No surprises, and you can see progress every week.
Sniff
A free call to understand the problem, the users and the budget. You get an honest opinion, even if the answer is “you don’t need custom software”.
Plan
A short written proposal: what gets built, what doesn’t, timeline and a fixed price. Bigger projects are split into milestones.
Build
Weekly demos on a live preview link. Automated tests and reviewable code from day one, so quality doesn’t depend on luck.
Fetch
Launch, hand-over and documentation. Optional monthly care plan for updates, monitoring and small improvements.
Lab
Things built for fun (and to learn).
Free tools from the Pyxel lab. Small, focused, and a good example of how the studio builds: no sign-up, fast, and they work on any device.
Thomas GIA Spatial Reasoning Simulator
A timed simulator for the spatial visualisation section of the Thomas GIA aptitude test, which many employers use in recruitment. It generates rotated and mirrored letter pairs, tracks accuracy and speed, and reviews every answer after the test.

A gentler, step-by-step trainer for the same skill. It explains the one rule that matters (rotation is allowed, mirroring is not) and lets you practise at your own pace before trying the timed version.

FAQ
Good questions.
How long does a project take?
A small business website usually takes two to four weeks. Integrations and custom apps depend on scope; after the first call you get a timeline split into milestones, each with something you can see and test.
Can you work on an existing codebase?
Yes, and it is a large part of the work. Taking over legacy PHP applications, upgrading frameworks, adding tests and fixing production issues without rewriting everything at once.
What does hosting cost after launch?
For most websites, close to nothing: static hosting on a global CDN is free or a few euros a month. Apps with servers and databases are sized to their real traffic, and you always own the accounts.
Do you offer support after launch?
Yes. An optional monthly care plan covers updates, security patches, uptime monitoring and a few hours of small improvements. No lock-in; you can take the code anywhere.
