Frequently asked questions

Short, honest answers to the questions I get most often — about price, lead time, ownership and findability. Not seeing your question? Feel free to call or email.

Pricing & packages

What does a website cost?

It depends on how many pages you need. I work with fixed package prices, no hourly rate — so you know the cost up front, with no surprises afterwards. A simple site starts at a few hundred euros; an extensive multilingual site runs up to a few thousand. On the pricing page you'll see all packages and what's included. Not sure which package fits you? Call or email me and I'll gladly think along.

What counts as a page?

A page is a page with your own content, such as About, Services or Portfolio. A contact page, FAQ and all legal pages are included free and don't count. With a business site you pick a free contact and FAQ page; with an extended site you can also add a reviews and quote page. Prefer 'about us' as a section on the homepage? That's fine too — then it isn't a separate page. That way you only pay for the pages with your own content.

Can my website be multilingual?

Yes. A second language works on any site. If you supply the translated text yourself, I charge 20% on top of the build price; if you leave the translation to me, 50%. I handle the language switcher and the technical side, so visitors stay neatly on the right language and Google finds both versions properly.

Can I add extra pages later?

Yes. I build an extra page for €200 each, in the same style as the rest of your site. If your site grows a lot, we look at whether a larger package is better value. And if you want to keep content up to date yourself, such as a blog, that's possible with a module that lets you post articles yourself.

Can I have a webshop too?

Yes, I can build a webshop with products, payments and inventory. That's more work than a regular site, so it falls under a separate package — you'll find the price on the pricing page. Tell me what you want to sell and how, and I'll look at what suits you best.

How it works

How long does it take to build my website?

That mostly depends on how quickly you deliver your text and photos. Once I have everything, the build itself goes quickly — usually one to a few weeks, depending on the size. At the start we agree on a realistic schedule, so you know where you stand. Big delays almost always come from delivering content, so the sooner you have that ready, the sooner you're live.

Do I have to supply the text myself?

Yes, you supply the text yourself — you know your trade and your customers best. I'll think along on the structure and make sure it sits well on the site, but the words come from you. No good photos yet? Then that's the first thing we sort out together, because real photos of your business sell better than stock imagery.

What if I want to change something later?

That's always possible. Small changes fall under the maintenance you choose; larger extensions we handle as a separate arrangement. Two revision rounds are included in the price anyway, so we get the site right together at the start. After that you decide how much maintenance you want — from just keeping it online to actively thinking along and adjusting.

Technology, hosting & ownership

Who owns my domain name?

You do. Always. If you already have one, we use it; if not, you buy one in your own name — I'll help you choose. At launch I need brief access once to set everything up correctly, but you own your domain yourself and are never tied to me. That's your business identity, and it should stay with you.

Will my email keep working after the new site?

Yes. When going live I make a point of keeping your email working — that's a fixed part of how I deliver a site. You manage your mailbox yourself; I don't touch it. All I do is make sure the technical settings are correct, so nothing falls over when the site goes live.

Do you also arrange the hosting?

Yes. Once your site is finished, I keep it online, secure and up to date. You don't have to arrange anything with servers or technology yourself. You do choose how much maintenance you want alongside it — the options and prices are on the pricing page. That way you only pay for what you need.

Will I rank well in Google?

Every site I build is set up to be findable from the start: fast, mobile-friendly, and technically sound for Google. I also register your site with Google. Ranking at the top for competitive keywords depends on more than the site alone — reviews, your Google listing and time all play a part — but the basics are guaranteed solid, and that's where Google begins.
