Made with Reedik · Saaremaa, Estonia

Personalwebsites, applications and online stores

I am Reedik Lindau — a web developer and programmer based on Saaremaa, Estonia. Since 2012 I have built for agencies, for Swedbank, and now under my own name. You work with me directly: no layer of account managers, no meetings that could have been an email.

Hello

Hi, I’m Reedik

I live on Saaremaa, an island off the west coast of Estonia, and I build for the web. It started in 2009 at Haapsalu College; my first real job was at the Tallinn agency Velvet in 2012, then came Swedbank and Bind Creative. Since 2019 I have worked under my own name.

I like things that are simple and that work. No extra layer in between, no meetings that could have been an email. You talk directly to me — the person who also writes the code.

These days I write code alongside an AI assistant. Routine work lands faster, which leaves more time for the part that actually matters: how the thing is meant to work, and whether it really works for you.

Away from the desk

In 2018 and 2019 I packed a backpack and worked my way through France, England, Scotland, Australia, Thailand, New Zealand and Spain. After all that it seemed clear that the best place was Saaremaa after all — so I moved back.

Services

What I do

Four areas I work in day to day.

See all services

  • 01

    Websites and web applications

    I design and build fast, mobile-friendly websites whose content you can manage yourself. From a simple presentation site to a multilingual web application that talks to the systems you already run.

  • 02

    Online stores and payments

    I build stores that hold up when the orders arrive all at once. Estonian payment providers, parcel machines and stock synchronisation come as part of the job, not as an afterthought.

  • 03

    Integrations, automation and dashboards

    When data has to move between two systems, or the same manual work eats hours every week, it can usually be automated away. I build the interfaces, the background jobs, and the dashboards that make the numbers legible.

  • 04

    Rescue work and maintenance

    The site is broken, slow, or the previous developer vanished without a trace. I review the code you have, tell you honestly what state it is in, and fix what is worth fixing.

Technology

What I work with

I pick the tool to fit the job, not the trend. A small content site does not need the same machinery as an online store with half a dozen integrations.

Path

How I got here

From Taritu school to Tallinn, out into the world and back to Saaremaa — the whole route on one page.

    The road to knowledge started at Taritu school on Saaremaa.

  2. Tallinn University Haapsalu College logo

    2009–2012

    Student

    Three years behind a computer at Tallinn University Haapsalu College, falling for programming. Applied higher education, bachelor level.

    Diploma in hand, I moved to Tallinn and landed an internship at Velvet, one of the finest agencies around, who turned a student into a professional.

    2013–2015

    Web developer

    Service done, I wanted to see how things work inside Estonia’s largest bank. My time at Swedbank was as instructive as it was enjoyable.

  6. The Bind Creative team on a trip

    2015–2019

    Programmer

    With the Bind Creative crew there was both sweat and tears — big projects and good trips in equal measure.

  7. 2018–2019

    Traveller

    I packed a backpack and worked my way through a few countries: France, England, Scotland, Australia, Thailand, New Zealand and Spain. The code kept shipping along the way.

    Made with Reedik

    I moved back to Saaremaa and now build websites, applications and online stores under my own name — for clients across Estonia and further afield.

Frequently asked

Good to know

The questions that come up most often in a first email.

Do you work remotely?

Yes. I am based on Saaremaa and work remotely across Estonia and beyond. We talk by email, phone and video call, and I can meet in person in Tallinn or Kuressaare when it helps. I have spent years building for clients in Australia and France, so a time zone is not an obstacle.

What does a website cost?

It depends on scope: a presentation site, an online store with integrations, and a web application are three very different jobs. That is why every project starts with a short conversation, after which I send a free quote with a fixed scope and a schedule — so there are no surprises along the way.

Can you take over an existing website?

I can. I take over both WordPress and code-first sites, including ones with no documentation and no way to reach the previous developer. I start with an audit of the code, the hosting, the security and the speed, and tell you honestly whether repairing or rebuilding makes more sense.

Will I be able to edit the content myself?

Yes — that is a given on every project. Usually I use WordPress, because it is the content management system people in Estonia already know, but code-first builds can be edited too. At the end of every project I walk you through it and leave a short guide behind.

Do you also do design?

I do. On smaller projects I design the site myself — clean, clear and readable, working as well on a phone as on a large screen. If you already have a designer or a brand book, I build precisely to that.

Which languages do you build sites in?

Estonian and English are everyday work for me. Multilingual sites are a routine request: I set up the language switching, the translation fields, and the correct hreflang markup for search engines. Translation of the content itself can be arranged with a translator.

How soon can you start?

I usually reply to email within one working day. Smaller jobs and rescue work can often start the same week; for a larger project we agree a start date, typically two to four weeks out.

What happens after handover?

Support covers fixing anything that breaks from WordPress and plugin updates at no extra charge, and I stay reachable by email and phone. The code and the access credentials are yours — you can move to another developer at any point.
