Website design & development company in Netherlands

WordPress suits a team that publishes regularly and wants to edit most of the site itself. Its plugins offer a wide choice of features, although someone needs to keep them updated for security. A custom-coded site in Next.js suits a company that wants fast pages, tight security and a design without template limits. It also means planning for a developer to make structural changes. We recommend an approach after learning how your team works.

A hosted builder such as Wix, Squarespace or Webflow suits a small site that an owner wants to run alone. You give up some control over code and speed, and moving away later can mean rebuilding the site. Before choosing, write down who will add pages, how often they will publish and who will handle changes to the site structure. That gives you a more useful basis for comparing the options than a list of features alone.

Tracking cookies need visitors’ explicit consent. We set up a consent banner so tracking cookies are held back until a visitor agrees, without pre-ticked boxes or a cookie wall. Functional and qualifying analytical cookies generally do not need consent, but visitors still need to be informed about them.

Dutch accessibility requirements apply to webshops, with an exemption for qualifying small businesses. E-commerce websites covered by the requirements must meet WCAG 2.1 level AA and publish an easy-to-find, accessible accessibility statement. We agree the accessibility target in the brief and set up a place for that statement in the site.

  Leaving real copy until the end

  Put working headings and paragraphs into layouts early. Their length can change how a finished-looking page fits together.

• !

  Letting someone else register your accounts

  Hold the domain and hosting accounts in your business’s name, then grant access to the people doing the work.

• !

  Leaving search setup until launch

  Check page titles, the sitemap and any indexing block before the site goes live.

• !

  Copying every old page

  Review which service pages visitors actually need. A shorter, clear site is easier to scan and keep current.
