Four things, done properly

Designing, building, making accessible, and keeping it running. No packages to fit yourself into, just what your project needs.

Design

Custom work from the first sketch. No theme that a hundred other businesses also use, but a design that starts from your brand and your visitors.

That means wireframes before pixels, an honest look at who will actually use the site, and a design system made for you: colours, type, components, the whole thing. If you already have a house style, I work within it. If you do not, that is simply part of the job.

  • Wireframes and structure
  • Visual design
  • Design system and components
  • Brand identity and logo

Master's in Multimedia Design. Design and development are the same craft to me, so nothing gets lost between the two.

Development

Laravel and React. The same stack I teach, and the same one running the CVO De Verdieping website, with 371 courses and a live data link.

Fast, modern, and not boxed in by what a page builder thinks your site should be. Custom functionality is the norm here, not an expensive exception. If your business does something specific, your site can too.

  • Webshops and payments
  • Bookings and reservations
  • Client portals and logins
  • Integrations with software you already use
  • Multilingual sites
  • Custom CMS

Accessibility

An accessible site is a site everyone can use. Increasingly it is also simply a legal requirement.

That includes anyone navigating by keyboard, using a screen reader, or just trying to read small text on a phone in full sun. I build to WCAG by default. If you already have a site that needs to get there, I can audit it, explain what is wrong in plain language, and fix it.

  • WCAG audit of your existing site
  • Remediation and guidance
  • Accessibility statement
  • New sites compliant by default

Real experience. I took a full adult education centre through that compliance. Done well, you notice nothing: nobody just gets left out.

Hosting and maintenance

A website is not finished at launch. Updates, backups, security patches and the occasional change are all part of it.

That is not something you should have to think about. So I host and maintain what I build. You are not locked in: it is your site and your code, and if you ever want to move, I will help you do it.

  • Hosting on Docker, own infrastructure
  • Automatic backups
  • Security and dependency updates
  • Uptime monitoring
  • Changes made by someone who knows your code
  • One fixed monthly fee

Pricing tiers are coming soon. In the meantime I am happy to tell you what it would cost for your site.

What it costs

Every project gets a quote tailored to it, because every project is different.

A five-page site for a local business and a platform with client logins and live data are not the same work. Pricing them off the same list would mean one of the two overpays.

So we talk first. I tell you honestly what I think it needs, and then you get a fixed price in plain language, before anything gets built. No hours that turn out to run over.

How a project runs

  1. First conversation

    Free and no obligation. We look at what you need and whether I am the right fit for it.

  2. Proposal

    What gets built, what it costs, how long it takes. In plain language, on one page.

  3. Design

    You see it and give feedback before a single line of code is written.

  4. Build

    Regular updates, nothing behind your back, and no surprises at the end.

  5. Launch

  6. Hosting and maintenance

    Online, monitored, maintained, and still mine to fix if something breaks.
