Why a new website
What an outdated site really costs you
A website that no longer grows with your business costs more than it saves: missed leads, a poor first impression and a falling position in Google - especially when competitors invest in speed and SEO.
- 01
Slow sites lose visitors
Every extra second of load time costs conversions - and factors into how Google ranks you.
- 02
Not mobile-friendly = invisible
Most of your visitors search on mobile. Google evaluates your site that way too.
- 03
No SEO foundation, no visibility
Without technical SEO foundations you stay invisible for local search queries.
- 04
Outdated design breeds distrust
Visitors judge your company's trustworthiness within seconds based on your website.

Ask your questionHow much does a custom website cost?
Expect from €950 for a one-pager, €2,750 for a full SME website up to €5,000+ for fully custom work or a webshop. After the intake you receive a clear tailored quote - no surprises afterwards.
What's the difference with Wix or a website builder?
A website builder uses fixed templates and limited SEO options. With custom work you get a site fully tailored to your brand, that loads faster and that you fully own.
How long does a project take?
Expect about 2 weeks for a one-pager, and 4 to 6 weeks for a full website - depending on scope and how quickly content is provided.
Do you work with WordPress or Next.js?
Both - and in both cases you manage your own content via a CMS. WordPress suits a familiar, broad ecosystem; Next.js with a headless CMS when maximum speed, scalability and deep customisation matter most. Together we decide what fits your situation.
Do I work directly with you, or with a team?
Directly with me as a freelance web developer - no account managers, no middlemen. From intake to launch, and afterwards too, I remain your fixed point of contact.
Is maintenance required?
No, but recommended. Maintenance covers updates, backups and monitoring so your site stays secure and fast.
Can I edit content myself after launch?
Absolutely. You get a short walkthrough so you can update texts and images independently.
