Questions people ask

The questions I am asked most, answered straight. If yours is not here, just ask it.

What does a website cost?

A website starts at € 500 excluding VAT. What you pay depends on how much has to go into it, and the pricing page lists what that amount covers and what the separate parts cost. After our first talk you get a fixed price, so you know where you stand.

How can it be cheaper than an agency?

You only pay for the work on your site. No office building, no account managers, no project team writing hours as well. On top of that I work with modern tools that let me build faster, without giving up quality.

Are there monthly costs?

Yes, from € 35 a month, and you only start paying once your site is live. The pricing page lists what it covers. You can cancel monthly.

How long until my site is live?

That depends on how big the site is and how quickly the texts and photos are ready. You get a concrete schedule in our first conversation.

Can I change things myself?

If you want to, yes. Then I build your site so you can edit texts, prices and photos yourself, without any technical knowledge.

Can customers book an appointment or a table through my site?

Yes. For salons, practices and restaurants I connect a system that lets customers book an appointment or reserve a table themselves.

What do you need from me to start?

Your story, and whatever you already have: photos, a logo, text from an old site. If you have none of that, we make it along the way. I send you specific questions, so you are never staring at a blank page.

Do I have to write the texts myself?

No. You tell me what you do and who for, and I write it up. Then you read it back and say what should change, because it stays your story.

I already have a website, can you do anything with it?

Often, yes. I look at what is there first: speed, findability and security. Sometimes an update is enough, sometimes starting again is cheaper than carrying on repairing. I tell you which of the two it is.

Is the domain name in my own name?

Yes. If you already have a domain, it stays yours. If I buy one for you, I transfer it to your name free of charge once the first invoice is paid and your site is live.

What happens to my site if I stop?

You take your domain name and your texts with you. You are not tied to anything: the monthly fee can be cancelled monthly, with one month of notice.

How fast is my site?

Fast. I do not build heavy systems that have to think again on every visit, but ready-made pages served from a network close to your visitor. You notice it most on a phone with poor reception, which is exactly where most people open your site.

Can I add things later?

Yes. Online booking, another language or a webshop can be added later. You do not have to decide now what you will want in two years.

What if I do not like the design?

Then we change it. You see the site as it takes shape rather than only at the end, precisely so you can steer before there is a lot of work in it.

What about GDPR and cookies?

Your site gets a privacy statement that matches what actually happens on it. I use no trackers that follow your visitors, so in most cases no cookie banner is needed.

Do I have to pay everything at once?

No. You pay half at the start and half when your site goes live. The monthly fee only starts once your site is online.

Ready for a website that fits you?

Tell me briefly what you do. You’ll hear from me personally, with a proposal made for you.
