Do you actually work with businesses in Tilburg?

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 Tilburg 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.

How much does a website cost in Tilburg?

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 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.

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.

Can you migrate my Tilburg 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.

WordPress design, build and optimisation in Tilburg

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 Tilburg businesses, quoted in EUR from $80, typically live in 3 days.

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.

Accessibility on a Tilburg build, and why it is not optional

Keyboard navigation, real contrast ratios, form labels that are actually associated with their inputs, and alt text that describes rather than repeats. None of it is expensive when built in from the start and all of it is expensive to retrofit, which is the entire argument for doing it in the first pass.

The commercial case is simpler than the legal one: a site that a screen reader can navigate is a site that a search engine can parse, because both are reading the same semantic structure. Accessibility work and technical SEO overlap far more than either discipline usually admits, and in Tilburg the same build serves both.

Retail and e-commerce in Tilburg

A store is judged at the checkout, not the homepage. For Netherlands that means the payment methods have to match what people actually use — iDEAL above all else, plus Mollie, Stripe and SEPA — and the cart has to survive a slow connection and a page refresh. Most abandoned baskets are not indecision; they are a checkout that broke and gave no reason why.

The second issue is stock truth. A product page saying "in stock" when it is not costs you the sale and the customer, and the fix is unglamorous plumbing between wherever your stock actually lives and the storefront. That is worth a day of work far more than the product photography carousel is.

A redesign that quietly deleted the rankings

The classic disaster: a new site launches, looks far better, and organic enquiries fall off a cliff within a fortnight. The cause is almost always identical — the URLs changed and nothing was redirected, so every page that had accumulated years of authority now returns a 404.

Preventing it is a redirect map built before launch: every old URL to its closest new equivalent with a 301, and anything without an equivalent pointed at the nearest relevant page rather than the homepage. If your Tilburg site is being redesigned by anyone, ask to see that map. If it does not exist, that is the entire risk in one document.
