01Landing
One page that explains why you exist and isn’t shy about asking for an action. No values carousel.

Yellow Blue Bus
In Russian the name almost sounds like “I love you.” We noticed. We kept it.
Web that people actually like
Sites and web apps for people and nonprofits. Sometimes pro bono, sometimes paid. Always without the agency fog.
Stops
What I build
Not a universe-sized menu. Four clear routes — from a single page to a small app that should not live in a spreadsheet.
Honest fare
For people who help people
Nonprofits are not a pity genre. They are clients with a mission, reporting, and deadlines. Free happens. Endless doesn’t.
When it’s free
The brief is clear, the timeline is sane, and I can do it well in a bounded slice of time. Usually: a landing, a tidy site, a launch. Pro bono is not “we’ll see later.”
When it’s paid
You need production, a cabinet, integrations, ongoing care, several roles and rounds. That’s work, and it has a price. You’ll hear the number before anyone falls in love with a mockup.
Pro bono cap: 1–2 projects a quarter. If the seats are taken, I’ll say so — no polite fog, no maybe-queue.
No gloss yet
Cases
Three placeholders, ready to swap for real stories. Names are fiction — replace the facts when you have them.
Open Window Fund
Nonprofit site + help form
Requests stopped vanishing into a shared inbox. The coordinator sees a queue, not chaos.

Enrollment landing
The group filled in a week with no ads — the page finally spoke like a person.

Volunteer web app
Shifts fill themselves. Reminders go out on time. The coordinator sometimes sleeps.

How we ride
- 01
A short talk
What you actually need — not what the five-section brief claims. Thirty minutes, no studio pitch deck.
- 02
The route
Structure, timeline, what’s in and what’s out. You see price and scope before anyone opens Figma.
- 03
Build
Design and code side by side. Not three weeks of mockups and a surprise in production. You get a working URL.
- 04
Handoff
Repo, access, how to live with it. The site is yours. I don’t keep the keys “just in case.”
Last stop
Write. Small bus — I answer myself.
Short version: who you are, what you need, by when. If the wording is messy, send it messy.
