LiberateWeb

Based in London's Paul Street, LiberateWeb is a one-person web development consultancy run by Jan Kraus, working with small teams and organisations that need custom digital tools rather than off-the-shelf software. Engagements are delivered directly by Kraus, who acts as both designer and developer throughout, from the first conversation through to release and ongoing support. The consultancy is suited to teams whose current operations rely on fragmented spreadsheets, messages and manual admin, and who want a single, purpose-built platform in their place. One documented project, Edgeware, involved consolidating governance material, documentation, technical guides and project resources for a network into one coherent site, built using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Vercel, Polkadot.js and Web3.js. The declared services span search engine optimisation, mobile app development, pay-per-click, performance marketing and web development, with the website itself focusing on custom web platform builds. The stated method centres on fixed-price, fixed-scope engagements agreed in plain language before work begins, full client ownership of the resulting code and product knowledge, and direct access to the person doing the work rather than layered account teams. Projects are described as starting from the client's operational problem rather than from a technology choice, covering operational tools to replace manual processes, focused platforms scaled to a small team's actual workflow, and ongoing iteration to keep a product functioning after launch. New enquiries typically begin with a short discovery conversation or a written project outline describing what is not working, who needs the outcome, and any timing or budget constraints.
