Yevgeny Karas

Founder & CEO of Design Online Studio · building and promoting websites since 2012

I’m Yevgeny Karas, founder and CEO of the Design Online web studio in Prague. Since 2012 I’ve helped businesses not just build websites, but turn them into a tool that brings in clients. I personally lead the strategy, SEO and project management on most of our work — and I know every client personally.

Over the years, hundreds of projects have passed through my hands. They taught me one thing: a beautiful website on its own helps no one. What helps a business is a website that’s found on Google, speaks the customer’s language and turns visitors into enquiries. That’s exactly what we build.

Education and expertise

I graduated in computer engineering from Zaporizhzhia National Technical University (2007). The Czech Republic recognised this degree through ČVUT (Czech Technical University in Prague) as equivalent to a Master’s in Computer Systems and Networks — making me a recognised specialist in computer systems and networks. I then studied for two years at the Prague IT Academy (2011–2012) and completed business management studies at the Open European Academy of Economics and Politics.

Technical education is my foundation, but years of practice have made me more than a programmer. I understand SEO — and not in theory: I’ve taken websites to the top of Google myself, both my own and clients’. I write technical specifications and understand marketing, strategy, processes and sales. I actively study and apply new technologies — GEO (optimisation for AI search), modern SEO, AI-assisted development. And I know the Czech market well.

How I work

I know all my clients personally, and with many of them the relationship has grown into friendship. I believe you should speak to a client in their language — without the jargon that obscures more than it helps. Yet behind that simplicity is real expertise: I know what I’m talking about because I’ve done it myself.

Two things I stand by:

I don’t promise “number 1 in a month.” Anyone who does either doesn’t understand SEO or is misleading you. I promise honest work, transparent reporting and a real result — which comes, but not overnight.

AI is a tool, not a replacement for an expert. We use the same AI tools as everyone else — but as a professional instrument in experienced hands. The question isn’t whether to use AI, but who’s steering it.

My journey

I’m originally from Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, and have lived in the Czech Republic since 2007. I’ve walked the immigrant’s path: I started as a printing-press operator at a company making photo wallpaper and wall décor, and worked my way up to head of the printing department — responsible for all the equipment, from computers to machines. Alongside that I took on my first web projects, and in 2012 I launched Design Online, which grew out of the web division of Amedigroup, a company I co-founded with partners.

That path — from the shop floor to my own studio — taught me to understand business from the inside, not from a textbook. When I talk to a client about their business, I speak from experience.

Languages and community

I work in four languages: Ukrainian, Russian, Czech and English. It’s not just a skill — it’s a bridge: I understand clients from different cultures because I’ve been through integration myself. Since 2024 I’ve been a member of the BNB Business Club, an international community of entrepreneurs across Europe.
