Website design & development
Your website is probably the most important marketing tool. For your clients and customers this is often an opportunity to learn more about to your company. A professional and good functioning website is a crucial factor in the success of a business.
User experience is also a very important part of web design. When people access your website, they usually have a goal. You want to meet that goal in the most efficient way. If your website has a bad user experience and fails to meet their goals they will get frustrated and likely leave your website. They even might not come back at all.
For your ranking in Google it’s important that your website has a SSL certificate installed, has a “mobile first” approach, no broken links and most important of all, is fast. Speed is of the utmost important as it can make or break the success of your website and your business.

I design websites and build them with WordPress.
Website design
For your clients and customers this is often the first introduction to your business. It’s important your websites communicates what your company does, your vision, how you can help your potential clients and customers, and show your good at what you do.
WordPress websites
WordPress is the most popular website platform (CMS). 15% of the worlds top websites use WordPress. Not without reason, since the CMS allows you to easily update your website, change your content, add blog posts and more.
Responsive Websites
It should be a no-brainer, but it’s good to mention all of our websites are responsive. It’s so important that it influences your Google ranking. I’ll make sure your website looks great no matter the device it’s viewed on.
Process
Every client is different, but my process remains in large part the same. We start with research, then the design phase, feedback and revisions and of course we end the project with delivering all design files.
Research
Obviously I do my own research, but in the end, nobody knows your business as well as you do. To help you the best way I can I have created a questionnaire. That way I can better understand who you are as a business, what your company does, what your needs are, etc. This phase usually takes up to 1 week.
Design
With the research phase finished I can start with the design phase. You will receive 2 website design proposals from which you can choose. Together we'll refine the designs until we have a functional design that I can build in WordPress. This phase takes up 2 - 4 weeks. I'm also greatly depend on how fast you can deliver photos and text.
Build
I will build the webdesign in WordPress and will add all the functionality you need. We'll work together on SEO and I will explain to you the basics of website maintenance. Building your website will take me 2 - 8 weeks. This depends on the complexity of your website.
Delivery
To ensure a smooth launch you'll receive 1 - 3 months (depending on the package you chose) of support and maintenance after completion of the website. After that you can decide to maintain your website yourself or to let me handle maintenance.
Not included
There are a few things that are not included in the packages. These are services I do not offer and you need to take care of yourself. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or need advise.
Domain name and hosting
You need to purchase a domain name and hosting yourself. I can recommend SiteGround as I use them for my own sites and are very happy with their service. After you’ve purchased your domain name and hosting you can leave the rest up to me.
Writing text
I’m not a writer so I can’t write the texts on your website. I do have experience with SEO and am happy to help you with that. I can also help you get in contact with good SEO text writers.
Use another theme
I work with the WordPress theme Astra. This means you can’t choose the theme of your websites. Every theme is different. Some are good, some are bad. All themes have a learning curve and take time to figure out. That’s why use the Astra theme and the Elementor page builder for all my websites. They allow me to create unique, custom websites.
