Development and maintenance of websites
What benefits do your websites have?
Websites developed by us are effective in reaching target audiences and achieving goals of our clients.
Our websites are not built on complex, error-prone and fragile software like WordPress, but made from handwritten and therefore highly optimized code.
As a result, websites created by us are not only user-friendly, but also very stable, fast and secure. They are also easier to find through search engines (SEO).
Because we also maintain websites developed by us, we can make sure that they continue to work well. Without any worry or hassle for our clients.
I want to edit my website. How does this work?
Content edits go through our STANDARD maintenance subscription. With this subscription you can perform some edits yourself through our Content Management System (CMS). We take care of other edits within this subscription for you, without extra costs.
Larger modifications are of course also possible, but fall outside the STANDARD maintenancesubscription. For example, adding or structurally changing a page, expanding functionality or adjusting the design. In such cases, you are welcome to ask us for a transparently priced, no-obligation custom quote.
