alveare/studio. — Bespoke websitesThe site is what you see. Understanding you is my work.

My name is Nicolò.

I have always loved drawing, listening, and everything that has a technical side to it. Letting my eyes settle on the edges of things, trying to understand how they are made. That curiosity has never left me.

Then life led me to study as a surveyor. Technical subjects, mathematics, topography, the rigour of the project. Nothing wrong with that — quite the opposite: I learned to think in precise lines, calculations, and to bring everything to completion with method and rigour.

Drawing and design only changed shape. In recent years I have studied websites, brand design, copywriting. I read, made mistakes, redid things. I quietly prepared myself for the day I could offer what I had learned.

For almost six years I worked as a builder in the family company. Getting my hands dirty, using them as my main working tool. I measured, chose materials, talked with clients. And it is precisely that experience that allows me to understand you today. I know what it means to live a craft. Doing well, finishing well, feeling the responsibility of work that lasts. Without that piece of life, I could not do this today.

What I bring to the table now is the sum of everything: the passion, the wanting to do well, the wanting to see things through, the rigour, the sensitivity. I am someone who observes, listens and tries to translate all of that as well as I can into something that lives online too.

I build websites for people who put part of themselves into what they do.

Artisans, mountain guides, cycling guides, mountain huts, B&Bs, small producers, ateliers. People who put their hands, their head and their care into what they do — and who have a story that deserves to be told well online too.

What I do is craft an experience, exactly as you do with your work. You create something for people, to make their day a little better — even just a little. I want your site to do the same: to be worth the time of whoever opens it, to leave something behind, to make the first encounter as authentic as it would be in person.

No generic templates, no empty words. Just your work, told the way it deserves.

No magic, no acronyms.

We start by talking. You tell me who you are, what you do, who you work for. I get a feel for your voice, your craft, what you want people to feel when they discover you online. From there we build it together.

I work in a clear and transparent way: I listen, I design, I show you, we adjust together, I build, I deliver. You are part of every step, you do not wait in silence for weeks.

And once the site is live, I do not leave you on your own. With monthly Cura it stays alive, updated and secure. As your work evolves, the site evolves with it.

Tools I work with

A website is ten things. Aesthetics, copy, structure, branding, motion, photography, deployment, code. Code is one of those ten, and not the most important for how you will feel at the end of the project.

For the technical side I use Claude Code, the professional tool made by Anthropic. It is the same one running today inside serious studios around the world. The direction — aesthetics, content, quality, decisions — remains mine, line by line.

I say this openly because there is nothing to hide. It is how those who want to deliver quality without wasting months actually work today.

What this means for you: studio-level quality, sized for someone who is starting out.

More work coming — the portfolio grows with every project

The questions I get asked most often. If you do not find what you are looking for, write to me in the contact section.

It depends on complexity. To give you a sense: packages start indicatively from €2,890 (Bottega, an essential site done well) up to beyond €19,500 for Bespoke projects (blank page, tailored to you). The prices shown on the site are a starting point because every project is genuinely different and I prefer to discuss it with you before throwing out a number. Write to me in the contact section, I will send an honest quote within 24–48 hours, everything clearly laid out.

An agency has three designers, two project managers, one sales person. You talk to the sales person, who passes you to the PM, who writes a brief, which goes to a designer who has never heard you. Result: a site that tells stories well, but does not tell yours. With me you talk to me. What you tell me over coffee goes into the code without intermediate steps. Understanding you is my real work — the site is what you see at the end. I am not the right choice if you want the lowest price, and I am not the right choice if you want a large team. I am the right one if you want to be understood by one person who carries the whole thing through to the end.

Between 2 weeks (Bottega, essential site) and 10 weeks (Atelier, complex site). Bespoke is to be defined together. The important thing: I work full time on one project at a time, you do not stay in a queue.

Nothing technical. I need to know who you are, what you do, who you work for, what you want people to feel when they discover you online. If you have photos, copy, references you like send them — if you do not, we work them out together.

Yes, if needed I set up a small CMS for the content that changes often (photos, prices, copy). If you prefer not to think about it, monthly Cura covers it: each month you send me the updates, I do them.

To keep the site alive without you having to think about it: content updates (up to 2 hours per month), active monitoring, security, backups, reply within 24–48 hours. Optional, but if you care that the site does not age it is the right choice.

No. If you have nothing, I register and configure it for you (included in the Bottega package for the first year). If you already have your own domain, we connect it without losing your email.

It can always be done. Rate agreed together case by case (extra work in monthly Cura, or new quote). You are never tied to a rigid plan.

No. The site you are browsing is in Italian, English and German with automatic country detection. If you are abroad nothing changes: we get in touch by email or video call, I work for those who have something real to tell wherever they are.

Let us talk.

Write to me whenever you want. I will reply within 24–48 hours with a few questions to understand your project, then we decide if and how to work together.
