My own site: one page for three kinds of work, a gallery of 132 photographs, and this studio page. Quick on a phone, nothing to click through.

What a website does for your business

Before they visit, call or book, many people look you up on their phone. What they find decides whether they choose you or the place next door.

• New customers can find you on Google

  People search for what they want, like “brunch near me”, not for your name. Your website tells Google everything you offer and strengthens your Google Business Profile, which helps you show up higher. No one can promise a position, but without a site you start behind.

• More visitors become customers

  Photos, prices, opening hours and one clear button to call, book or get directions. People decide in seconds on a phone, and a fast, clear page makes the decision easy.

• You look like the obvious choice

  When people compare two places, the one with a proper website looks established and trustworthy. Without one, some will wonder if you're even still open.

• Every customer feels welcome

  Students, tourists and expats search in their own language. A site in English, Dutch or French speaks to them before they walk in.

• Fewer calls with the same questions

  Hours, prices, parking, whether you take cards: it's all on your site, even at midnight when you're closed.

• It's yours, not a platform's

  Social media decides who sees your posts, and accounts get hacked or blocked. Your website and your domain keep working, whatever a platform decides.

Packages and prices

Fixed prices, agreed before I start. All prices exclude VAT.

Extras

Additional language: €290.

Additional page: €150.

Payment

50% to start, 50% at launch.

VAT

Prices exclude VAT, which is added where it applies.

How it works

1. Free video call

   We talk about your business and what the site needs.

2. Approve and pay 50%

   You get a written proposal with what's included, the price and the terms. Once you approve it, you pay the deposit.

3. Preview

   I build the site and send you a preview link.

4. Changes

   You get two rounds of changes.

5. Launch

   The site goes live and you pay the final 50%.

Launch takes 10 working days, Presence 15 and Business 20, counted from when you approve the proposal and send your texts and photos. Days the preview waits for your feedback don't count.

Care plan

Nothing to manage, and one person to ask.

• Hosting, security updates, backups, uptime monitoring, your domain's settings with a reminder before it renews, and 30 minutes of changes a month, menu updates included. Unused minutes don't carry over.
• €79 a month.
• Excluding VAT, which is added where it applies.
• Minimum 12 months, then cancel any time with 1 month's notice.
• The care plan is optional. Without it, or after you cancel it, I hand the finished site over to you, and hosting, the contact form and changes become yours to manage.

Why a software engineer

• Fast on phones

  Pages are plain HTML with almost no JavaScript, so they open quickly even on mobile data.

• Secure, with no plugins to get hacked

  Your site is a set of static files on a global network, with no admin panel or plugins, so there's far less to break into.

• Built in several languages

  Every language gets its own proper text, not a translation widget.

  See an example: Lorenzo Marchisio

• Can connect bookings, menus and ordering

  I write the code myself, so your site can work with the tools you already use.
