Websites designed with the build in mind and built with an eye for design.
Based in the Randstad. Available in Amsterdam, Haarlem, Utrecht and surrounding areas. Also available remotely.
Good design does not start with the first screen, but with the people who will use it. Understanding what they need creates a structure where information is in the right place and every next step feels logical. That foundation is what makes a website work, not just look good.
Once the foundation is in place, the website takes shape. Visual design shows what matters, guides attention and carries the character of the brand across every screen. A website that looks good feels more professional, builds trust and invites people to keep exploring.
Not everything needs to be explained in words. Animation shows what is happening, guides the user and gives interactions more character. Illustration can say in one image what text needs a whole paragraph to explain.
Once the design is ready, it is time to make it work. Good design deserves good code. You may not see it, but you feel it. In the speed, the interactions and how effortless everything feels.
A good prompt is only the beginning. Using AI well means understanding what models can do, where their limitations lie and what data you share. When a project calls for it, I combine ready-made tools with open models and workflows. This can make ideas achievable sooner, while keeping the result aligned with the brand, context and original idea.

You work directly with me. No account managers, no middlemen and no meetings where someone has to recap what was decided last week.
The person who figures out how the website should work is the one building it. This means design choices don't get lost in handoffs and technical feasibility is baked in from the start.
A lot of agency work is good. It's also starting to look the same. My process is repeatable, the output isn't.

View the projectWe discuss what you want to achieve, who the website is for and what it will take to get there. Afterwards, you receive a clear proposal.
I develop the first direction and explain the thinking behind it. You follow along and share feedback before we move forward.
The chosen direction becomes a complete, working website. Along the way, we test and refine what is needed until everything feels right.
After the final checks, the website goes live. I show you how to manage it, after which you can continue independently or keep me involved for maintenance and future updates.
Just an idea of what the site should do, who it's for and what isn't working right now. It doesn't need to be a perfect brief, that's exactly what the first call is for.
It depends on the size and complexity. A simple site is a totally different story than one with complex animations and lots of custom solutions. To save us both some time: if you're looking for a custom site from scratch for under €1,000, this isn't the place. After our first talk, I'll send over a clear quote so you know exactly what to expect.
Most website projects take around four to eight weeks. It depends on the scope, how much content is ready and how fast feedback rounds go. Rush jobs are sometimes possible, but rushing is rarely the best design method.
Both. I handle the whole track, from structure and visual design to front-end development. If you only need design or just development, that works too.
Yes, if that's a priority we'll factor it into the setup. We'll decide together which parts you want to change yourself and which should stay fixed. That keeps the site flexible without making things unnecessarily complicated.
Yes. If you already have a logo, colors, typography or a brand guide, I'll design within that framework. If the current identity doesn't offer enough direction for a full website yet, I can take care of that digital translation.
Yes, though it depends on how it was built and what needs to happen. Minor UX tweaks, visual updates or front-end adjustments are usually fine. If the foundation itself needs a rethink, rebuilding from scratch is sometimes the better choice.
Yes. Responsive design is always the starting point. The website is designed and tested for all kinds of screen sizes.
Yes. I follow WCAG guidelines and keep an eye on things such as semantic HTML, contrast, keyboard navigation, states and reduced motion. If you need a full WCAG audit, we can always arrange that separately.
I take care of the technical and structural foundation, like clean headings, metadata, performance and a logical page structure. For an extensive SEO strategy, keyword research or ongoing content, it's best to work with a specialist.
No. I'm based in the Randstad and work for clients in Amsterdam, Haarlem, Utrecht and the surrounding areas, but working remotely works great too. Fortunately, building a website doesn't require sharing an office chair.
Feel free to send me a message. I'm happy to think it through with you.
