WordPress design, build and optimisation in Arnhem
Most WordPress sites are slow because of how they were built, not because of WordPress. I build lean themes without page-builder bloat, so the site stays quick, ranks properly, and you can still edit it without calling a developer. For Arnhem businesses, quoted in EUR from $80, typically live in 3 days.
What wordpress design, build and optimisation includes for a Arnhem business
Fixed scope, agreed in writing before development starts. From $80, typically live in 3 days.
- Custom theme build — no bloated multi-purpose page builder
- WooCommerce configuration where you sell online
- Core Web Vitals optimisation: images, fonts, caching, render path
- Security hardening and automated backups
- On-page SEO: schema, sitemaps, meta, heading structure
- Editor training so your team can update content without breaking layout
- Plugin audit — removing what is slowing you down

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.
How a Arnhem project is paid for, and why it is staged
Payment is split across milestones tied to things you can actually look at — a staging URL, a working checkout, a completed migration — rather than to dates on a calendar. You pay for a milestone after reviewing it, in EUR, which means at no point are you more than one stage out of pocket on work you have not seen.
This exists because the alternative puts all the risk on whichever side pays first, and across a border that asymmetry is the thing that makes people nervous. Staging it does not eliminate the risk; it caps it at one milestone, which is small enough to walk away from. That is a more honest offer than a guarantee I could not enforce from here anyway.
Property, lettings and estate agencies in Arnhem
Property sites live or die on search and filtering. A listing grid that cannot be filtered by the three things buyers actually care about — price, bedrooms, area — sends people to the portals, and once they are on a portal you are competing on fee with every other agency in Arnhem.
The technical half is feed handling: listings usually arrive from a CRM in a format designed two decades ago, and keeping the site, the portals and the window cards in agreement is where the real work sits. It is worth doing properly, because a property still showing as available after it is let generates the angriest phone calls in the business.
Structured data that is missing, wrong, or quietly lying
Schema markup is how a search engine reads what a page means rather than only what it says. Missing it costs you rich results. Getting it wrong is worse: marking up review stars you do not have, or a LocalBusiness at an address that is not yours, risks a manual action rather than a ranking.
Every page I build carries schema matching what is actually on it and nothing beyond that. The restraint is deliberate — this page uses Service and areaServed rather than LocalBusiness, precisely because there is no physical presence in Arnhem to assert.
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
WordPress design, build and optimisation in Arnhem — common questions
- 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.
- 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 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.
- How much does a website cost in Arnhem?
- A business website starts from €75 and goes live in about three days. An e-commerce build starts from €140 in around seven days, and a custom application from €180 in ten. Those are starting figures — the exact number is fixed in writing once scope is agreed, and it does not move after that.
- 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.
- Will the site actually rank in Arnhem search results?
- The build handles what is technically controllable: crawlable HTML, correct headings, structured data, fast pages, a clean sitemap and Search Console set up on day one. Ranking also depends on your competitors, your domain's age and the links pointing at you, which no developer controls. Anyone guaranteeing a position is guessing or lying.
- 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.
