Can you migrate my Arnhem site without losing rankings?

Yes, and the redirect map is the whole job. Every existing URL is mapped to its new equivalent with a 301 before launch, and anything with no equivalent goes to the closest relevant page rather than the homepage. Sites lose rankings in migration because that mapping was skipped, not because migration is inherently risky.

Do I need to provide the content and images?

Content, yes — you know your business and I do not. I will restructure and edit what you send so it reads for the web, and I will tell you where a section is missing. Photography is worth paying a local photographer for; stock images of people in offices are recognisable as stock and quietly cost you credibility.

What happens if I am not happy with the result?

Work is delivered in milestones against a written scope, and you review each one on a staging URL before it is paid for. If the delivered milestone does not match the scope, it gets corrected before anything moves forward. That structure exists so disagreement is resolved at the stage it happens rather than at the end when it is expensive.

Do you build on WordPress or something custom?

Whichever the project justifies. WordPress when you need to edit content constantly and want a familiar admin. A static build when speed and security matter more than a plugin ecosystem. Custom PHP and MySQL when the logic is genuinely yours. The choice is explained in the quote with its trade-offs, not presented as a foregone conclusion.

What currency will I be invoiced in?

EUR. Quotes, milestones and the final invoice are all written in EUR so you are never comparing a converted figure against a local supplier's. Regarding tax: VAT at 21%, reverse-charged.

Who owns the website when it is finished?

You do, completely. The domain is registered in your name, hosting sits in your account, the code lives in a repository you control, and any payment provider account is opened in your business name. Credentials are handed to you as they are created rather than at the end, so you are never locked out of your own site.

Do you actually work with businesses in Arnhem?

Yes, remotely. I work with Dutch clients from Islamabad, quoting in EUR and invoicing in EUR. I have no office, address or phone number in Arnhem and will not pretend otherwise. If your project needs someone physically present, hire locally — I will say so in the first reply rather than after a deposit.

Custom PHP and MySQL application development in Arnhem

When an off-the-shelf plugin does not fit the business, I build the thing that does — booking systems, client portals, quote calculators, admin dashboards, and integrations with whatever API you already depend on. For Arnhem businesses, quoted in EUR from $200, typically live in 10 days.

What custom php and mysql application development includes for a Arnhem business

Fixed scope, agreed in writing before development starts. From $200, typically live in 10 days.

Database design and schema, documented rather than improvised
Application build in PHP with a MySQL backend
Admin interface built for the people who will use it daily
Role-based access control where more than one person logs in
Third-party REST API integrations
Transactional email via PHPMailer with proper SPF/DKIM alignment
Input validation, prepared statements and CSRF protection throughout
Written handover documentation — you are not dependent on me to keep it running

The terms for a Dutch client

Starting price	From $200, quoted and invoiced in EUR
Typical timeline	10 days once content is supplied
Tax position	VAT at 21%, reverse-charged
Data protection	the EU GDPR, supervised by the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens — resolved by a DPA incorporating the EU Standard Contractual Clauses
Payment rails available	iDEAL above all else, plus Mollie, Stripe and SEPA
My day in Arnhem time	06:00–15:00 — about 6 hours of overlap

Why this matters for Netherlands specifically

iDEAL accounts for the majority of Dutch online payments. A Netherlands store that leads with card fields and buries iDEAL is losing conversions at the last step for no reason other than build order.

What happens in the first 48 hours of a Arnhem build

Nothing is designed on day one. The first two days are spent on the things that decide whether the build succeeds: what the site is for, which single action matters most, who the visitor actually is, and what content genuinely exists versus what is assumed to exist. That last one is where most timelines quietly break.

By the end of it you have a written scope, a sitemap, a price in EUR and a date. If any of those four look wrong to you, that is the cheapest possible moment to say so — before a line of code exists. Projects that go badly almost always skipped this and started with a homepage mockup instead.

Healthcare and clinics in Arnhem

Clinics carry a compliance weight most businesses do not. Appointment forms collect health information, which is a special category under EU GDPR, and it cannot be emailed to a generic inbox or written to a plain-text log. That constraint has to shape the build rather than be bolted onto it afterwards.

Beyond compliance the deciding factor is reassurance: practitioner names, registrations a patient can verify, honest pricing, and what actually happens at a first appointment. Anxiety is why people delay booking, and a site that reduces it outperforms one that merely looks modern.

A mobile layout nobody tested on a real phone

Desktop-first builds fail in predictable places: a navigation menu that cannot be closed, a table forcing the whole page sideways, tap targets too close together, and a sticky banner sitting over the button. Each one is invisible on a laptop and each one loses customers.

Most visitors to a Arnhem small business site arrive on a phone, so I design at phone width first and widen from there. That ordering is not a stylistic preference — it is the only way the small screen gets the attention the majority of your traffic deserves.

What I am not claiming about Arnhem

I have no office, postal address or phone number in Arnhem
I cannot meet you in person, and if that is a requirement you should hire locally
I am not claiming existing clients in Arnhem specifically — my live work is listed on the work page and you can check it
Nothing on this page is a guarantee of search rankings, which no developer can honestly offer
