Build

Four kinds of work, one way of building.

Everything here is built by hand rather than assembled in a page builder. That is why it is fast on a phone, why there is no subscription attached to a theme you did not choose, and why you hear one fixed amount up front instead of an hourly rate.

Fixed price, fixed scope Hosting and SSL included

What I build

Four kinds of work.

Every project gets a fixed price and a fixed scope, so the number does not move on you while we work. If you do not know which of these you need, that is part of the first question and not something you have to answer alone.

Business website

For service businesses and trades. Clear what you do, clear how to reach you, and fast on a phone, which is where most visitors arrive. One page if that is enough, or a page per service if you also want to be found for what you do rather than only for your own name.

Online store

Shopify or fully custom. From product page to checkout, built around what actually makes people buy rather than around what looks good. iDEAL, Apple Pay and card, and a checkout that can be completed on a small screen.

Dashboards and internal tools

Numbers from several sources on one screen, built to be used daily rather than to impress in a meeting. Usually it replaces a spreadsheet that too many people are editing at once.

Something not listed here

A booking system, a calculator, a portal for your customers. If it runs in a browser it is probably within what I can build. Send it over and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person for it, including when the answer is no.

What I work with

  • Shopify
  • Meta
  • Klaviyo

How it runs

Five steps, and you know the price before we start.

  1. Work out what it has to do. What you do, who for, and what a visitor has to do before it earns you anything. Without that answer you build something handsome that earns nothing.
  2. One fixed amount. You get the price and the scope in writing before anything is built, along with the timeline. No hourly rate and no extra invoice afterwards.
  3. Design in the browser. You do not get a picture of a site, you get a link to the real one that you can click through and open on your own phone. That is the only place you can see whether it works.
  4. Build and check. Two rounds of revisions are in the price. Everything is tested on a phone before it goes live, not only on a large screen where everything always looks fine.
  5. Live, and kept online. Hosting and SSL are in the price and I put it live, so it is not something you have to arrange. If you would rather host it yourself, you get all the files.

With every project

What is always included

  • One fixed amount up front, no invoice surprises afterwards.
  • Fast and readable on a phone, which is where most visitors arrive.
  • Findable in Google and in AI assistants like ChatGPT, as standard and at no extra cost.
  • Hosting and SSL are included and I keep the site online. Changes after that run through a maintenance retainer priced to your needs.
  • Everything in Dutch or English, or both.

Already have a website or store?

Then you usually do not have to start over. An existing site that gets visitors but too few enquiries is a different kind of job: measure what goes wrong, order it by what pays back most, and rebuild only that.

Frequently asked

Questions about building

What do you need from me to start?

What you do, who for, and where your customers come from. Copy and photographs are welcome but not a condition: I write the copy if you do not have it, and in practice that is what projects stall on most often.

Do you build in WordPress or a page builder?

No, by hand. That is why the sites are fast on a phone and why there is no subscription to a theme or a plugin that you did not choose. For a store Shopify is the default, because payments and stock are a solved problem there.

How long does it take?

A one-pager is usually a week. A multi-page site two to three weeks. A store longer, depending on the number of products. That time runs from the moment the copy and photographs exist.

Can I extend it later?

Yes. A one-pager is built so pages can be added to it, so you would not start over. Changes after handover run through a maintenance retainer set against how much work you actually need.
