Every shop has a sign.

Most still need a website that says what you do, where you are, when you’re open and what it costs.

  • People check before they walk in.Hours, prices and how to book, usually on a phone, often from the pavement outside.
  • Instagram and Google are rented space.A profile helps. A site on your own domain is the one place you fully control.
  • One page is often enough.Services, prices, photos, hours, a map and a way to reach you. Nothing to hunt for.

Website design: highlighted on a sample site.

Customers check you out first.

Before people book, visit or buy, they look you up. That check either builds trust or ends the visit.

91%

of Dutch people aged 16 to 74 looked up information about goods and services online in the past three months. The EU average is 72%. Eurostat, Individuals – internet activities, 2025 (people aged 16–74).

70%

are more likely to do business with a company that has a website. 69% say a local business needs one to be credible. DreamHost, Local Business Trust Index, 2026 (1,201 US adults, Nov 2025).

39%

have decided not to visit or buy from a business because it had no website. 45% say such businesses feel less real. DreamHost, Local Business Trust Index, 2026.

A website tips the decision

What makes a website trustworthy

Share who name it as building trust in a local business

  • Secure site (https)51%
  • Real photos, not stock47%
  • Online booking or a form40%
And the opposite: 60% trust a business less when its site looks outdated, and 75% have skipped a purchase over an unprofessional-looking site. Sources: DreamHost, 2026; HostingAdvice, 2024 (500 US adults).

Pretty isn’t the goal.

A website should earn trust, bring in customers and pay its way. That is what I build for.

Found on Google

Guides for business owners.

Free guides on website costs and choices, written for owners of small businesses.

Fair questions.

What do I need to give you?

Your logo if you have one, five to ten photos, your services and prices, opening hours and address. Not a writer? We talk it through and I write the text.

What does the €59 a month cover?

Hosting, SSL, backups, security updates and up to 30 minutes of changes every month: new prices, holiday hours, a fresh photo.

How long am I committed?

The care plan runs 12 months, then continues month to month with one month’s notice.

Do I own the website and the domain?

The domain is registered in your name. If you leave, you take your text and photos and I help you move the domain.

Can I start with one page and grow later?

Yes. Many businesses start on Launch and move to Grow when they want booking, a menu page or a blog.

Will I show up on Google?

Every site ships with what Google needs: fast pages, titles and descriptions, a sitemap and business details. I also link it to your Google Business Profile.

Do you work outside Amsterdam?

Yes. I’m based in Badhoevedorp and work with businesses across the Netherlands and Europe, in English now, with Dutch and French coming.
