Illumi

Who we are

About

Illumi is a web agency in Sofia. We've been at it since 2012 — long enough to have seen what a site abandoned in its fifth year looks like, and long enough to know that most problems aren't technical.

How we work

Six things that don't change.

They aren't slogans — you can hold us to every one of them while we work together.

Everything in your nameDomain, hosting, ad accounts, code. If you decide to work with someone else, you leave with everything. We've seen the opposite far too often.
One point of contactYou don't retell the task to three people and wait for a reply from a fourth who's on holiday.
A fixed quoteYou know what's included, what isn't and what it costs, before the work begins.
We say if it isn't worth itSometimes the most useful thing is to hear that the job isn't for us, or shouldn't be done at all.
We write by handNo visual builders and no piles of plugins. That's why our sites are fast and last for years.
No made-up numbersWe don't promise rankings, percentages and timelines that nobody can guarantee.

Scope

What we do.

Four areas. Each has its own logic, but work rarely happens in just one.

The limits

What we don't do.

It's more useful to read this now than to find it out halfway through a project. For each of these, we point you to people who do it.

Professional photographyWe don't shoot products, locations or video. We edit and adapt your material.
Print and TV advertisingWe only work in digital. For everything else, there are agencies who do it better.
Mobile appsWe don't build apps for the App Store and Google Play. We build web applications that run in a browser.
Legal adviceWe aren't lawyers. We set up the technical side according to what your lawyer has decided.
Guaranteed first placeNobody can guarantee it. Anyone who promises it either doesn't know how search works or is counting on you not knowing.
Work without a quoteWe don't start “as we go, we'll see what it costs at the end”. That's bad for both sides.

The process

How a project runs.

The same for a website and for a system; only the scale differs.

01

Conversation

Half an hour, no fee. What needs to happen, for whom, and why what's there now isn't working.

02

Quote

In writing, with scope, timeline and price. If the job isn't for us, we say so here, not a month later.

03

Structure

Which pages, what's on each one and how people get to them. Signed off before the design.

04

Design

The key screens first. Changes at this stage are cheap — later they aren't.

05

Build

The code is written by hand. You see the progress instead of waiting for the finale.

06

Launch and beyond

Checks, training and handover of all access details. Then maintenance, if you want it.

In the open

Three pages that work against us.

They're written to be useful to you even if you never become our client. That isn't generosity — we've simply sat on your side of the table too.

What else comes into it.

It's rarely just one thing. Here are the services that go with this one, and why.

Questions

About the company.

If your question isn't here, call us — we answer by phone too.

How long have you been in business?

Since 2012. The illumi.bg domain was registered even before that, and the site has been at the same address ever since.

How big is the team?

Small. That's a deliberate choice, not a phase — this way every project is led by someone who knows it inside out.

It also means we don't take on everything: when the schedule is full, we say so rather than take the job and deliver late.

Do you work outside Sofia?

Yes. Much of the work is online anyway, and distance isn't a problem. We hold in-person meetings in Sofia.

Do you work with companies outside Bulgaria?

Yes, we've also worked on projects for clients abroad. Our main work is for Bulgarian businesses.

What happens if we decide to work with someone else?

You get all the access details, the code and the data. The domain, hosting and ad accounts are in your name from the very start anyway.

We don't keep clients through dependence. If someone does, that alone is a reason to switch.

Next step

Let's talk.

Half an hour, no fee and no sales pitch. If the job isn't for us, you'll hear it in that conversation.
