Why I'm building websites for $100 (and why it works)
Most developers will tell you a custom website can't cost $100. They're right, if you build it the slow way.
I'm not. For the next 10 days, I'm building 10 premium websites at $100 each, and here's how it stays fair for both of us.
The secret is my system, not a shortcut.
I've built a reusable Next.js starter kit with hand-coded sections and Framer Motion animations. Each site starts from that foundation, then gets its own colors, fonts, layout and content. You get a custom-looking site. I skip the repeat work.
What you get
A custom design in one of 5 styles: minimal, dark glass, bold typography, modern gradient, or elegant luxury
Up to 5-6 sections or pages, fully responsive
Smooth scroll and hover animations
Contact form and basic SEO
Live deployment on Vercel
2 revision rounds
What's not included
Payments, logins, admin panels and online stores. Need those? I'll quote them as add-ons, no surprises.
What I need from you
Your logo, text and images. Don't have them yet? Tell me, we'll start with placeholders.
How to claim a spot
Send me a message about your business
Pay 50% to lock your slot
Preview in a few days
Approve, pay the rest, go live
Only 10 spots. I'll post daily updates, so you can watch the challenge in real time.
Want one? Message me and I'll tell you if there's still a slot open.
Smart approach. Having a solid system behind the process makes the $100 offer much more realistic.

Turin's biggest run club has no website to book and see events
So what do you build when 150+ people show up every Thursday and the whole thing runs on Instagram stories and WhatsApp threads?
For the @Lovable challenge, I built Endorphin's site and their booking system
I started with their reality.
I went through everything they publish. No website. Stories, a Linktree, two WhatsApp groups. 150+ people at the season opener, around 11K followers, nights with Nike and adidas. "Can I come?" arrives as a DM, and every answer is typed by hand.
Strategy before screens.
Endorphin isn't a logistics problem. The product is connection, and the run is the excuse. So Thursday stays booking-free: "I'm coming", one tap, a signal and not a reservation. Real booking exists only where spots are real: the drops. Brands get their own door. The crew gets one room instead of an inbox. The real power is behind "add every thursday to you calendar" button.
Every state designed in Figma before I touch Lovable.
Calendar, carousel, full, waitlist, booked, past. The molecule. The formula. One visual language: black, volt yellow, mono labels.
Lovable gets a spec, not a wish.
One prompt at a time, with the Figma design system: sizes, colors, timings, easing. I check the result against my board before I send the next one.
Details that make it feel like the club.
Endorphin is a molecule, so the homepage have one. Every dot is a moment from a Thursday. A "Your move" card asks three taps before any form, so you see people like you before you see a pass. Then you slide to claim it.
First time?

A few parts of the Kodilion website we worked on recently. Have a look at the whole shebang at https://kodilion.hr/
Lekki Vault is a small sneaker shop on Admiralty Way in Lekki, run by one guy, Tobi. He's got a tight rotation of rare and everyday pairs, and the problem was simple: people would walk in wanting to try something on, but half the time their size wasn't even out, or Tobi was mid-conversation with someone else and they just left. So now there's a "book a fitting" option, pick a free 30-min slot, say what pair and size you want, show up, it's pulled and ready. No calls, no "come back later," and Tobi's not guessing who's actually going to show.
Feel free to tweak "half the time their size wasn't even out" if that's not quite the real quirk you had in mind, happy to adjust once you tell me what actually bugged you building it.
This is looking very outstanding
