54 / DECO CODE

Hello, I’m Marty.

Design / Engineering / Hradec Králové / Prague

I design it and I build it. One person, from the logo to the server.

Work with me

01 / Where it startedAround 2004 / Before the first job

22+ years / of websites

I’ve been making websites
since about 2004.

It started a few years before my first job in the industry, and the best part hasn’t changed: the moment a design stops being a picture and starts working in a browser, on a phone, for whoever opens it.

02 / 13 years in London2005–2017 / Agencies and banks

London / 2005–2017

Where I learned the standards.

I spent almost thirteen years in London: The BIO Agency, Virgin Media and Sapient, then senior front-end work at AKQA, R/GA, Ogilvy, Saatchi & Saatchi and Tribal DDB. MINI, Aston Martin, Toyota, Guinness, HSBC and Lloyds were on my screen. They were my employers’ clients, never DECO CODE’s. At R/GA I was on the team behind We Are Tennis for BNP Paribas, which won a Cyber Silver Lion at Cannes in 2011.

Those years taught me what this studio is built on. A beautiful site that doesn’t work isn’t good design.

    Brand, website, CMS and back end for each project, with speed, accessibility and security checked as standard.

04 / Why one personNo hand-offs / Nothing lost

Design × / Engineering

You talk to the person
who builds it.

No account manager, no hand-off between a designer and a developer, nothing lost between the mock-up and the code. When something has to change, the person who decides is the person who types it.
