MEA-StudiosMikus Ēriks Atvars
Web designer in Riga · Available for new projects
I'm Mikus Ēriks Atvars, a Latvian-American web designer and airBaltic Pilot Academy cadet. Through MEA-Studios I design and build fast, modern, multilingual websites and edit video for communities, clubs and small businesses in Latvia and Germany.
About
I train to fly airliners. That means checklists, tight tolerances and zero tolerance for "good enough". I bring the same discipline to every website I make. I'm Latvian-American, I live in Riga, and I work in Latvian, English and German, so multilingual sites for diaspora communities and European businesses are my home turf.
I like modern tools and turning around fast. You get a clean, responsive site that loads quickly and looks sharp on every screen. I also edit video: event recaps, promo clips and social reels to go with the site.

Pilot training taught me that nothing leaves the ground unchecked. Every site is tested on every screen before it launches.
Brief, confirm, read back. You always know what I'm working on and what comes next.
I can talk to your members, customers and partners in Latvian, English or German, and build the site in all three.
ATPL theory is one of the toughest exam programmes there is. Picking up your business and goals quickly is the easy part.

Featured · Client website · 2026
A complete trilingual website for the Latvian Association in Bavaria. It doesn't just show photos. Members can browse the event calendar, sign up through a multi-step membership form, switch between LV / DE / EN and donate in one tap. Try it: the demo on the left works.
Features · bavarijaslatviesi.de
Concerts, choir rehearsals and festivals through to 2028, grouped by month, each with its own page, venue and details.
A full application form covering interests, availability, personal details, family members and choir fees, with consent checkboxes.
Separate closed areas for the choir and the board, where internal information is kept in one place.
A floating "Ziedot" button on every page leads to a dedicated donations page.
Client feedback · bavarijaslatviesi.de
Mikus exceeded our expectations!
We at BLB asked Mikus to build a website so that people who aren’t active on social media could find out about us too. The result is a website that also has separate closed areas for the choir and for the BLB board, where we keep all kinds of information. It clearly makes our everyday work and communication easier. Mikus exceeded our expectations! Working together was fantastic: easy communication, quick responses, and ideas, suggestions and changes put into practice perfectly. We are more than satisfied. Thank you so much, Mikus!

Short videos I shoot and edit myself as @mikionfinal. The same eye for pacing, colour and story goes into the video work I do for clients.
Process
We talk goals, audience, languages and content. I map out the site before a single pixel moves.
Look and feel, layout and branding. You see real screens early and give feedback fast.
Clean, responsive code or WordPress, set up so you can edit your own content.
Testing on every device, going live, and support after launch.
FAQ
It depends on the number of pages, languages and features. After a short call you get a fixed quote, so you know the full price before any work starts.
A one-page site usually takes 1–2 weeks. A multi-page, multilingual site with forms and an event calendar usually takes 3–5 weeks, depending on how quickly the content is ready.
Your logo, photos you'd like to use, and the key texts. If you don't have them yet, I'll help you plan the content and pick photos.
Yes. Most sites are built on WordPress, and I show you how to edit text, photos and events in a hand-over session.
I can set it all up for you on a reliable host in your name, so you own everything. Or I can work with the hosting you already have.
I plan projects around my training schedule and only take on what I can deliver on time. You get clear dates up front, and I tell you early if anything changes.
Yes. My latest client is in Munich. Everything works remotely, with calls in Latvian, English or German.
