Why hire you instead of a cheaper freelancer or an agency?

Cheaper freelancers often disappear after handoff or deliver generic templates. Agencies add layers of account managers and costs. I handle strategy, design, development, and deployment myself — one point of contact, full accountability, no handoff problems. 60+ projects shipped across e-commerce, SaaS, and AI.

What is your typical pricing range?

Every quote is fixed-price with no surprises. Landing pages start around €500–€1,500; e-commerce rebuilds and custom web apps range from €2,000–€8,000+; AI integrations and SaaS platforms are quoted per project scope.

How long does a typical project take?

Landing pages: 1–2 weeks. E-commerce stores: 3–6 weeks. Custom web apps and SaaS platforms: 6–12 weeks. AI integrations: 3–6 weeks. You get a specific delivery date in the proposal.

What is your process for new projects?

Step 1: Contact form or 15-minute call. Step 2: Custom proposal with scope, timeline, and fixed price within 48 hours. Step 3: Full design mockup for review before any production code. Step 4: Build with weekly progress updates, then launch.

Do you offer support after launch?

Yes. Every project includes a post-launch support window (typically 2–4 weeks) where issues are fixed at no extra cost. Monthly retainers are available for ongoing features, updates, and monitoring.

Who we are

This site (kiril.dev / kirilurbonas.com) is operated by Kiril Urbonas, a freelance software developer based in Europe ("we," "us," "our"). We are the data controller for the personal data collected through this website. For any privacy-related questions, contact us at kiril.u@gmail.com.

Information we collect

We collect personal data in the following ways:

Visitor analytics (with consent only): If you accept analytics cookies, we record page views, approximate visit time, referrer URL, IP address, and country. This data is stored in our database and used to understand how the site is used. Visitor tracking only activates after you consent via the cookie banner.
Chat widget: If you use the live chat, we store your email address (which you provide voluntarily) and your messages so we can reply. A session cookie links you to the same conversation.
Contact form: When you submit the contact form, we store your name, email, message, project type, and any UTM campaign parameters from the URL. You must check the privacy consent box before submitting.
Technical data: Our hosting provider (Vercel) may log your IP address, browser type, and device information for security and performance purposes. We do not use this to personally identify you.
Newsletter: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address. You must check the privacy consent box before subscribing. We send periodic emails about web development and business insights. You can unsubscribe at any time by contacting us.

Legal basis for processing

We process your data based on: (a) your explicit consent, given via cookie banner checkboxes and form privacy consent checkboxes; (b) our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiries and managing our business; (c) contractual necessity when we enter into a project agreement with you. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal.

Automated decision-making

When you submit the contact form, we use an AI service (Anthropic Claude) to automatically assess the quality and relevance of your enquiry on a scale of 1–10. This helps us prioritise responses. The score is used internally only and does not affect your ability to contact us or receive a reply. You have the right to request human review of any automated assessment by contacting us.

Cookies we use

We use a cookie consent banner that appears on your first visit. You can choose "Accept all" (necessary + analytics) or "Necessary only." Your choice is stored for one year. You can change it at any time via the "Manage cookie preferences" link in the footer.

Necessary cookies (always active): cookie_consent (stores your cookie preference, 1 year), chat session cookie (links you to your conversation, session only). Analytics cookies (only with consent): visitor_id and v_anon (anonymous visitor tracking, 1 year), Google Analytics _ga and _gid cookies (traffic analysis, up to 2 years). We do not use advertising or marketing cookies.
