In Thessaloniki almost every sector already has ten competitors on page one. The contest is not won on how attractive your site looks but on whether Google can work out quickly what you offer and to whom. That is why the work here starts with the architecture of the site rather than the colour palette.
The SEO side runs in defined steps. First a technical audit: what is indexed and what is not, duplicate URLs, canonicals, load speed and Core Web Vitals measured on real users rather than a lab score. Then search mapping, one page per intent, so two of your own pages stop fighting over the same term. After that comes writing and internal linking, and finally a monthly report showing what moved and what did not, with numbers from Search Console instead of general impressions.
Local search in Thessaloniki is its own game. The map shows three businesses, and distance from the searcher counts as much as the site does. If you have a shop in Kalamaria and another in Pylaia, each location needs its own page with its own phone number, hours and directions. The details on the site have to match the map listing and the directories letter for letter, because mismatches are one of the most common reasons a business never reaches those three slots.
Speed stopped being a bonus some time ago. I build with Next.js and server rendering, so the content is in the HTML from the first byte instead of being assembled by the browser. Images are served in modern formats at screen size, fonts load without the page jumping around, and third-party scripts go in sparingly. A site that takes six seconds to open loses half its visitors before they read a word.
Beyond sites and shops I build applications that solve internal problems: order dashboards, client portals with logins, connections to invoicing software, and automations that remove manual re-typing. At an agency that work passes through a project manager and three people. Here the person who designs it is the person who writes it and the person you talk to.
Everything runs remotely, with video calls for decisions and asynchronous messages for the rest, so no week disappears waiting for a meeting slot. Prices are published: 590 euro for a presentation site, 1,490 for an e-shop and 2,500 for an application, with the figure locked in writing before work starts.

Why pick a freelancer over an agency in Thessaloniki?
At an agency you talk to an account manager while the developer sits two desks away. Here the person writing the code is the person answering your messages, so changes land the same day and you are not paying for the layers in between.
Can you do SEO only, without building a new site?
Yes. We start with a technical audit of the site you already have and a fix list ordered by impact. If the current site can be repaired, we repair it. If the platform itself is the problem I will say so plainly rather than bill monthly work that cannot pay off.
What does SEO cost and how long does it take?
Technical SEO is part of the build. Ongoing work is agreed as a monthly package with specific deliverables each month. In a market as competitive as Thessaloniki, the first movement shows in two to three months and meaningful results around six.
What does it take to reach the three map results?
A complete Google Business profile with the right category, photos and hours, details identical to the site and the directories, a page per location, and reviews arriving steadily. The listing is yours to run; I prepare the site and give you in writing exactly what needs correcting.
Can you build a complex web app?
Yes. I build applications with a database, user accounts and roles, integrations with outside systems and an admin dashboard. They start at 2,500 euro and the scope is written down before implementation begins.
My site is slow. Is a full rebuild worth it?
It depends on what is holding it back. Oversized images, plugins and third-party scripts are usually fixable. When the structure itself is the problem, rebuilding costs less than endless patching. I say which after measuring, not before.
Will we need to meet in Thessaloniki?
No, the work runs remotely from day one. A video call at the start, a link showing progress and short written updates cover the whole project without anyone travelling.
Who is Kyriakos Kaitezidis?
Kyriakos Kaitezidis is a full-stack web developer based in Xanthi, Greece. He builds websites, e-shops and web applications end to end — frontend, backend, database and deployment — under the business name KlawsFX, for clients across Greece. The same person also runs a separate visual-effects practice at k-kaitezidis.com; his web development work is klawsfx.com.
What is KlawsFX?
KlawsFX is the web development practice of Kyriakos Kaitezidis, a one-developer studio based in Xanthi, Greece. Despite the "FX" in the name it is not a visual-effects studio and not a Forex or trading brand: it builds websites, e-shops and web apps at a fixed price agreed in writing before the work starts.
