Your website needs to be (re-)build.
Why? Your WordPress website is the start of the journey towards your goals. Your website needs to be up-to-date in both design and tech. This means that the building of your site is just the beginning. You need maximum support and flexibility now and in the future!
A fully customised WordPress website starts at 1500€
That sounds great, but what’s it going to cost?
We use the open source platform WordPress and keep cost low by using predefined themes for the basic design language.
Our websites start at 1500 euros. For this, we will build you a WordPress powered site, with a 3rd party theme or template, which will cover 90% of your needs. The rest we will create.
Our approach is between the ‘get your website online in 5 minutes’ and ‘we will build you a custom CMS with our team of developers and GUI-specialist’, where the first will be free or almost free and the latter will be 50K+
We tested this approach on our own websites, and on our clients so far. And the results are amazing. Our experience in over 10 years of developing sites using WordPress is why we can guarantee this approach will work for you and your business.
Do you need a lot of input on the design, the look and the feel and the interface?
No, instead tell us about your goals and targets for your online business.
Tell us what you want to achieve, what you expect from your website and what your business is about. Our experience will convert that into a design that works for you, now and in the future.
We built your site using these tools because we rely on WordPress as an open-source platform to make sure your site code is secure. 60% of websites in the world are run on WordPress so you will be in good company
We use 3rd party themes because these will be supported in the future and compliant with the latest WordPress updates. They also come with prepacked plugins and extensions that are needed to go from a default WordPress blog to a fully functioning converting website.
Your create the design but what about the content?
We can help you out there as well. Our you can do it yourself.
For your website, you will need texts, photos and possibly video. This is your content and together with the design, it will determine your success. Some clients prefer to write text and create photos in which case we will advise and edit all the content you want. Some clients prefer someone to do this for them.
We offer copywriting, logo design, photography and video services. Initially, we write copy for your website and shoot and edit photos that will be used for backgrounds, headers, team profiles or product pages. We can create a video to be played on the homepage explaining what you are all about.
This is part of the initial content. In order to keep your website ranking and up to date we also offer subscriptions on texts, photos and videos for your blog or vlog or products. These pieces of content can be used on social networks of your choice as well as marketing materials as well as keeping your website fresh.
Depending on your needs, some content creation is included in our offering. Check out our full content creation services.
If you are using WordPress and 3rd party plugins why not do it myself?
Yes, with a basic knowledge of WordPress you can get a long way.
This is how we got started. When we built our own websites we did it ourselves. And failed. We had to learn a lot and it took us several years and even more websites to get to the point where we would be comfortable solving any problem that might arise.
Yes, creating a WordPress website is easy. Anyone can do it. But that is not the point. You don’t want a website. You need a website that works. And from going from a default install to a fully decked out website, optimised and easy to maintain, difficult to hack, that is another thing.
This is why you are not paying for ground-up development and a team of experts but rely instead on our expertise in taking these free and open-source tools and connect them in a way that works and makes sense.
What makes you special? Why do you do things differently
Because our goal is not to get as many clients as possible.
We are small business owners and we have a passion for it. We sell jewelry online, design and create beautiful websites, we create interesting content and we are happy doing that.
Webfriendly started out as a way to build and maintain our own online properties. It was an idea started out of frustration. As start-ups, we couldn’t afford an expensive website, but we still wanted to compete with the big boys. That’s why we are different. Our goal is not to make a website, but to share the joy of seeing your success in your online and offline business.
We are entrepreneurs first and technicians and designers second.
Yes! This is what I have been looking for.

WordPress – offers freedom and flexibility
We EXCLUSIVLY built websites on the WordPress platform. And we are not alone. An estimated 60% of all websites in the world uses the WordPress core to power the website but also the backend, for placing content and making changes.
WordPress is therefor well supported, well-known and very well developed. It is stable and most of all, in times of changes you won need to by a new platform. WordPress is free to use under an open source licences and can be managed by many many creative and IT proffesionals out there. So no more getting stuck with your developer and his bespoke content management platform.
Templates and themes
We always use COMMERCIALLY available 3rd party theme or templated design for your website. We do that for the same reasons we use wordpress. The templates offer a well tested and optimised design system or language that we use to make your website stand out from the rest, without re-inventing the wheel, thus saving costs, making sure the theme has support and updates in the near and distant future. Current themes are so versatile, they will cater to any subject, business type or interaction you want to built for your visitors. And if not: Plugins. This nifty little pieces of code offer extended functionality and are peer-reviewed and updated as time go by. WIth our more then 15 years of building and maintaining websites we have yet to encounter a problem that could not be fixed.
Content
We will help and create the initial content for your site. We will (re-)write your texts if needed, do initial optimalisation and advise on your content creation after launch. If needed we are also able to organise a PHOTOSHOOT or a VIDEO PRODUCTION. In some cases, the creation of a website starts with a comprehensive creation of text, photo and moving images.
For photo and video production we work with RENDERREBELS a video and photography content production company with a worldwide network of freelance creatives.
