We guide your brand from strategy to launch
You don’t have to explain your brand from scratch to every new subcontractor. With us, you only brief it once. Based on that, we design your logo and visual identity, prep print materials, and simultaneously build websites, e-commerce platforms and apps.
Your brand stays absolutely consistent – on a physical business card, a smartphone screen, and across a complex design system – because we develop its entire ecosystem under one roof. In practice, this means fewer meetings, faster decision-making, and quality you can see at first glance.

What clients say
Blog
We write about design, technology and AI
AI
AI training for companies – when a workshop is enough, and when you need an implementation
Training alone rarely changes how a company works. We explain when a workshop makes sense, when it's better to implement the tools and teach the team on their own processes, and how to work out which pays off.
Branding & typography
Brand manual examples from real projects – and what to look for in them
Three brand manual examples from our own projects, from a cultural institution to an orchestra. What a good manual contains, how to read other brands' PDFs and how to spot a document that actually works.
E-commerce
E-commerce UX audit – what we check and what it costs
Traffic but no sales? A UX audit of an online store shows where conversion leaks – from the listing to the checkout. We explain what it covers, what it costs and what you get in the report.
Development
Web design in Kraków – how to choose a partner and what you'll really pay
The Kraków web design market spans everything from €300 template sites to €40,000 platforms. How to compare offers, what to ask an agency, and when a local partner genuinely matters.
Frequently asked questions
How does a collaboration with Sweet Lava start?
It starts with a conversation. You tell us about your needs and we ask questions – probably more than you expect. Within a few days we come back with specifics: scope, timeline and price. For more complex projects we suggest a paid workshop. You leave it with a plan solid enough to deliver even with another agency, if that's what you decide.
How much does a website cost?
A typical custom-designed company website runs €2,500–6,000; larger multilingual sites €6,000–18,000. We always itemise quotes so you know what you are paying for. A detailed pricing guide is on our blog.
Which technologies do you work in?
Websites: WordPress, HubSpot or a modern headless stack (Astro, Next.js with a headless CMS). E-commerce: WooCommerce, Shopify, PrestaShop and custom platforms. Applications: React/Vue front-ends, Node.js/PHP/Python back-ends, React Native/Flutter for mobile. We match technology to the task, never the other way round.
Do I receive the copyright to the work?
Yes. On project completion and settlement we transfer the economic copyright, and the code and source files are yours. No vendor lock-in.
