Web design and online marketing for business owners

A website that brings you enquiries, not just visitors

I help owners of small and medium-sized businesses turn their website into a steady source of new clients. One point of contact, clear priorities and reports you can read in five minutes. No account managers, no intermediaries. A reply within one working day.

My approach

From first impression to steady enquiries, in three phases

You can start at any phase. Many clients already have a website and only need phase three.

Phase 01

Brand and visual design

For visual design I have worked for years with my regular graphic designer Marcia Teeuwen of Diezijnvanmij.nl. She develops a clear visual identity that suits your market and your price level: logo, colours, typography and templates you can use consistently in every channel.

Result: a brand that looks as professional as the service behind it.

Phase 02

A website built to convert

A fast, secure WordPress website designed around one question: what should a visitor do next? Webshops, booking systems, newsletters and client portals wherever your business needs them.

Result: a website you fully own and can update yourself.

Phase 03

Growth marketing

Findable in Google and in AI search tools, visible through targeted ads, and in touch with past clients through email. Every month we look at what worked and shift the budget where needed.

Result: a predictable flow of qualified enquiries and a monthly one-page overview.

Services

Everything your online presence needs, under one roof

SEO

Technical, on-page and off-site SEO, so the right clients find you for the searches that matter.

AI search visibility

Generative engine optimisation, so ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity mention your business when clients ask.

Google Ads

Campaigns with properly configured conversion tracking, so every euro of budget can be traced to a result.

Conversion optimisation

UX improvements, clearer pages and better web forms that turn more of your existing visitors into enquiries.

Content marketing

Articles and landing pages in Dutch, English, German and Italian, written for readers first and search engines second.

Email marketing

Newsletters and automated follow-ups that keep past clients and prospects close, without extra effort from you.

Social media advertising

Targeted campaigns on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram, aimed at the audience that can afford your service.

Hosting and maintenance

Secure hosting, updates, backups and version management, so your website and contactforms simply keep working.

Why work with me

An entrepreneur who speaks your language

I have been building websites and marketing campaigns since 2000, and I run a business of my own. I know what it means to weigh every euro of marketing budget against the time it takes to earn it.

You work with me personally, supported by a small team of regular specialists in design and development. That keeps lines short, decisions quick and costs reasonable. As a Yachtmaster I also bring the habit of planning ahead and reporting honestly on the conditions.

  • One point of contact for strategy, design and technology
  • A realistic estimate up front, you set the budget
  • Your website, domain and accounts remain yours
  • Flexible working with a 10-hour card and a timesheet every 10 hours

How we start

Four steps, and you decide after each one

Step 1

Free introductory call

Thirty minutes by video call, phone or WhatsApp. We discuss your business, your clients and your goals.

Step 2

Website and marketing scan

I review your website, findability and campaigns, and send you the three improvements with the most impact.

Step 3

A plan with a clear budget

A concrete proposal with priorities, planning and a realistic estimate of the hours involved. You set the budget, I stay within it.

Step 4

Execution and reporting

We build, launch and improve. Every 10 hours you receive a timesheet and a short overview of enquiries, costs and next steps.

Frequently asked questions

Questions business owners often ask

I work with a 10-hour card. Below you can read how it works and why many business owners prefer it to a fixed project price.

You purchase a block of 10 hours in advance, which you then use flexibly for web design, maintenance and online marketing. I keep an accurate record of my time and you receive a timesheet by email after every 10 hours. That way you see exactly how your hours have been spent.

A bespoke website or reaching goals with online marketing can rarely be defined precisely in advance. A fixed price then often means a generous margin for the unexpected, or discussions about additional work. With the 10-hour card you only pay for the time that is actually needed.

Up front I give you a realistic estimate of the hours involved. You can also give me a budget, and I make sure I stay within it. With a timesheet every 10 hours you will not face any surprises.

For almost anything that strengthens your online presence: web design and custom work, SEO and generative engine optimisation, Google Ads, social media marketing, email marketing, UX and conversion optimisation, Google Analytics and Tag Manager, marketing strategy, training and manuals, AI automation and (drone) video production. The necessary version management of your website is always included.

A 10-hour card runs for a maximum of two years. For most clients that is ample time to use the hours at their own pace. Please note that the card cannot be cancelled before it ends, and unused hours expire at the end of the term.

Work starts as soon as possible, as a rule within one week. If something needs immediate attention, an urgent job can be scheduled when the diary allows, also outside regular working hours.

In most cases, yes. A new website is not always the best investment. Often a few targeted changes to structure, speed and forms deliver more than a complete rebuild. I prefer to work with WordPress.

Google Ads and social advertising can become visible within a few days, although optimisation generally takes two to three months. SEO and content marketing are a long-term investment, with the first effects often noticeable after three to six months. In the scan I give you a realistic expectation for your situation.

No. The yachting industry is where much of my work began, but I help business owners in a wide range of sectors, from professional services to hospitality, real estate and retail. What they have in common is a quality product and the wish to grow without hiring a full marketing team.

Backup management

An extra safety net for your website
