A website built in
Gouda.
A website built in Gouda for one fixed price up front, live in two to three weeks. Webframer is based in Hazerswoude-Dorp, a twenty-minute drive away: you talk to the developer who actually builds your site, and dropping by the town centre is no expedition.
Where Gouda business owners get stuck.
Your shop does well, your site does not
In the town centre people walk in because they walk past. Online you have to earn that, and a site showing only your address and opening hours does not.
Visitors cannot find you
Gouda draws people who look up on their phone where they are going. If you are not in those results, they walk past to the place that is.
Bookings come by phone
Every booking or appointment costs a call during your busiest hour. That is work your site could have done while you were busy.
The site is years old
Slow, not mobile-friendly, and the last news item predates the pandemic. Visitors draw conclusions from that about the rest of your business.
Your builder is unreachable
Once made by an acquaintance or an agency from outside the region, and now nobody picks up for a simple change.
No enquiries come in
Visitors, but no leads. Usually because nothing makes clear what you do, for whom, and what the next step is.
How a project in Gouda runs.
Meeting, at your place or mine
Gouda is twenty minutes away, so coming to your shop or office is easy. If it saves you time, we do the first conversation over video.
Content plan
Which pages, which message per page, which next step you want visitors to take. If the copy does not exist yet, I write along.
Design and build
Structure first, then the visual design based on your brand, then the code. You see the screens before a line of code exists.
Launch and handover
Domain connected, SSL sorted, old URLs redirected so your positions in Google move along. Then one walkthrough of the CMS together.
- ✓Fixed project price, known up front
- ✓An original design, not a template
- ✓Two to three weeks of build time
- ✓A CMS where you change everything yourself
- ✓Hosting inside the EU, code ownership yours
- ✓Meeting in Gouda is no trouble
The number of pages and whether functionality is involved drive the number. You hear it after the first call.
The price depends on the number of pages and whether functionality is involved. After the first call you get a cost indication, and within 24 hours a proposal with scope and planning.
Getting found in Gouda, not across the country
For a local business, ranking nationally is rarely the goal. You want to be found by people who can be at your door within half an hour, and that is a different game: less competition, a shorter road to the first page, and visitors who can actually buy.
In practice that sits in three things: a page that is clearly about your service in your town, business details that read the same everywhere, and a site that loads fast on a phone with half a signal in the town centre. Almost everyone underestimates that last one.
What else goes into a website track is on website development, and how pricing works on pricing.
- ✓One clear service-plus-place page
- ✓Business details identical everywhere
- ✓Fast on mobile, town centre included
- ✓Directions, hours and contact visible at once
What a website in Gouda costs
There is no honest number without knowing what goes on it. A five-page site for a shop in the town centre is a different animal from a site with a booking system wired into your calendar.
The shape of it is fixed: after a half-hour call a cost indication, and before we start one fixed price for the whole track. No reconciliation afterwards, no billing by the hour. Domain, hosting and any licences are passed on at cost.
If you would rather outsource maintenance, that is available for a fixed yearly fee: see maintenance and support. Torn between paying once and paying monthly? That sum is on paying monthly.
More than a website
Selling from your site makes it a webshop. If clients need to log in to see quotes, documents or the status of their job, it becomes a client portal.
If your administration runs on a spreadsheet nobody dares touch, from spreadsheets to software is the starting point. Already have a WordPress site and only need someone to keep it running? See WordPress maintenance.
