HI, I'M PAWEL
“I create, experiment, and share knowledge – media, technology, and DIY projects all in one place.”
Hi, I’m Paul. I work with web design, digital media, and graphics, but I don’t limit myself to just sitting in front of a computer. I enjoy sharing knowledge and helping others who want to create something of their own—whether it’s a website, a brand, or simply a personal project.
Website downtime: the outage nobody plans for (and everyone remembers)
Website downtime sounds like a technical footnote until it collides with a real business moment: a link is shared, a customer clicks, and the site doesn’t respond.

Sometimes a business feels the market has gone quiet. The form works, the inbox exists, and yet enquiries vanish. Often it isn’t marketing. It’s email deliverability.
The “One Plugin for Everything” Trap: When a Website Grows Like Flat-Pack Furniture — Without Instructions
A website can grow faster than a “quick tweak” list after the first call.

Website backup: the dullest topic… until the day it isn’t

WordPress Updates That Were Supposed to Take a Minute – Why Clicking “Update” Can Be an Extreme Sport
WordPress updates may look simple, but compatibility, plugin conflicts, cache and rollback planning turn a “one-minute task” into a controlled process.
A Project That Reminded Me Why I Do This
Some projects remind us why we chose this path. This is the story of a website built on trust, respect, and the freedom to create something meaningful.
A Website Like a Suit — Tailor-Made or Off the Rack?
– Good morning, I’d like to order a website. But you know, the competition offers it cheaper. – Then why did you come to me? Silence. A Template Website vs. a Tailor-Made Design It’s a bit like walking into a tailor’s studio and saying: – I heard that in a high...
You won’t find sales pitches or marketing tricks here. If you’re looking for practical advice on WordPress, graphic design, media, or website optimization, great—I have some experience to share.
But life isn’t all about code. When I step away from the computer, I dive into DIY home projects—from small improvements to bigger things I build with my own hands. And whenever I get the chance, I grab my backpack and head for the mountains. I write about that too, because it’s an important part of my life.
