One person, start to finish: me
Your website, built by me.Updated by you.
I build your company's website myself, from the first call to launch day. Then videos show you how to change your photos, your text and your colors without calling me back: included in one package, an add-on on the others.
Made for the phoneYour customers look you up on their phone, often standing in the street. I design that version first.
I mostly work with:RestaurantsLocal shopsTradespeopleCoachesOnline shops
Pick the site you like
Every template is already written, already filled in, already fast. I adapt it to your trade, your photos and your colors, so yours will not look like anyone else's. Open a template to see it full size. The price does not come from the template: it comes from the package you choose next.

None of them fit you?Tell me about your trade on the phone. I will design one from scratch, just for you.
Talk it over on the phoneWhat changes with me
The video that makes you independent
Everywhere else, changing one photo means calling them back, waiting, and getting an invoice for it. I show you every step on video, in the same interface as yours. You keep the video, and you keep control.
And if you still get stuck?You call me. I look at it with you, we do it together, and it is done. That is simpler for everyone.

Your video, step by step
Four examples, not the full list.
You talk to meNot to a salesperson who will pass it on. The person who answers the phone is the person who builds the site.
Nobody in betweenNo project manager, no committee, no meeting for the sake of it. That is what makes it fast.
You stay independentShort videos, in the same interface as yours, so you can change a line or a photo without calling me.
Three ways to work together
What separates the three is not the number of pages or the features: it is who does the work. You choose what you would rather do yourself, and the price follows.
Who fills in your site?
Fixed priceEUR 490
First Site: the Method
You pick a template and you build it yourself, following the Method. Every step is filmed: installing the template, changing a photo, fixing a line of text, changing a color, going live. The groundwork is already written and already in place, so you only have to fill it in, and you can change it as many times as you like.
Youyour text, your photos, your colors, at your own pace

I Build It For You
You send me your text, your images and your identity: your logo, your colors, what you like. I put it all where you want it. We read it over together, you get two rounds of revisions, and I put it live.

Signature, one of one
No template. As many pages as you need, your own idea, animations, features built for you. It is a site that exists nowhere else, and the price goes up with what we decide to put in it.
Youtell me about your trade and your idea, sign off on each step
Meeverything else, from the first sketch to going live
So what does it cost?The first two packages are fixed price, with add-ons on top if you want them. Signature starts at EUR 2,400 and depends on what we decide to put in it. If your template is an online shop (e-commerce), I enter up to 15 products with two variants each, from the names, prices and photos you give me: writing the product pages stays with you. Either way, you get the price in writing on the first call, before you commit to anything.
My commitments
What I commit to
Three promises about things I control: the date, the result, and your freedom to leave. You will not read "first on Google" or "more customers" anywhere here: I control neither your traffic nor your phone, and nobody can honestly promise you that.
The Clock
As soon as your content is complete, I confirm your start date in writing. On "I Build It For You", your site goes live within 15 business days of that date. On Signature, the timescale is written into the quote. The clock pauses, by dated email, every time I am waiting on you.
The Final Say
Two rounds of grouped revisions are included, to be requested within the 14 days after the site goes live, until the site matches the quote. You send your feedback as one list. If you go quiet, the clock pauses and restarts when you reply.
The Open Door
Your domain name is registered in your name from day one, on an account that is yours: I never hold it. If you ever move on, I hand over everything else within 5 business days, with no exit fee. On WordPress you leave with the site, the files and the database. On Shopify the account transfers to you and the store stays on Shopify, because a Shopify theme cannot be moved: I tell you that before you choose, not after.
These commitments are in addition to your statutory rights, they do not replace them.
How it works, in four steps
You have a business to run. My job is to take as little of your time as I can.
01
We talk on the phone
You tell me about your trade, in plain words. I tell you which package suits you and what it costs.
02
You pick a template
From the catalog, or fully custom if none of them look like you. We start from one you like, not from a blank page.
03
We fill the site in
You, with my videos. Or me, with what you send me. That is the only thing that changes from one package to the next.
04
I put it live
I do the technical setup and put the site live. The hosting and the domain name are opened in your name, on your accounts, with your card: they stay yours, and I never hold them. The first year of the domain name is included if it costs EUR 10 or less.
What people ask me most
How much does a small business website cost?
Between EUR 490 and EUR 2,400, depending on who does the work.
- You build the site yourself, with the filmed Method: EUR 490 (coming soon)
- I build it for you, from your text and your photos: EUR 1,190
- Custom-built, no template, designed for you: from EUR 2,400
What moves the price is what you already have to hand: text, photos, a logo. I give you yours on the first call, in writing, and I start nothing without your go-ahead.
How long does it take to build a website?
Fifteen business days once I have your text and your photos, on the package where I build the site. That is a commitment, not an estimate: I confirm your start date in writing and the clock runs from there. It pauses every time I am waiting on you, and I tell you by email. Since I work alone, there is nobody to wait for between two steps.
How does payment work?
The price you see is always the whole price, never a slice of it.
- First Site: the Method: EUR 490, in one go. Your logins and the Method reach you by email within 24 hours.
- I Build It For You: EUR 357 when you order, then EUR 833 when the site goes live.
- Signature, one of one: both amounts are written on the quote, since the final price depends on what we decide to put in the site.
Nothing is taken while we are still talking. And the work starts when I have your text and your photos, not when the payment lands.
Will you be able to change your site yourself?
It depends on what we build, and I tell you before you order. On the first two packages, yes: the site is yours, you have your logins, and you change your text, your photos and your colours. In the package where you build the site, the videos are included and every step is filmed. In the one where I build it, you have nothing to learn, and you have my email for six months for your questions; the videos are still available as an add-on. On a fully custom site, no: it is written by hand, it has no admin interface, and I make the changes. In exchange, it depends on no third-party extension to keep updated. Unless you sell online: there, even custom-built, your shop is on Shopify and you manage your products, your prices and your stock yourself.
Why not build custom on WordPress?
Because you would have to choose between two things you want at the same time. So that you can change your site yourself on WordPress, I build with Elementor in its free version. It does the job very well on a template, but it is bounded: no free layout, no custom CSS, no particular animation. Going beyond would mean Elementor Pro, which you would pay for every year, for life. So when you want a site that exists nowhere else, I write it by hand: you do not change it yourself, but you have no extension to keep updated and no editor subscription to pay. For a shop it is different, I stay on Shopify: payment, VAT and refunds are already handled there, and I shape the blocks even on a free theme, without forcing a paid version on you. There is a Shopify subscription, around 30 euros a month, and I tell you before.
Do you really own the site?
Yes. The domain name is in your name, the content is yours, and you hold your own logins. If one day you want to go elsewhere, I hand everything over, no argument and no exit fee.
What do you need to give me?
Whatever you have: your opening hours, your address, a few photos, an idea of what you want to say. If you have no text, I can write it for you, as an add-on. There is nothing to install and nothing to learn before we start.
Last step
One answer, and you will know what to expect
No sales meeting, no long presentation. I call you back, I ask you three questions, and I tell you straight whether I can be useful to you.
