Custom website development in Rotterdam

Dienst4

A unique story

A website is more than a business card. It is the first thing a potential customer, partner, member or journalist sees. It should represent your organisation the way you want it to, professionally, recognisably and easily managed by your own team.

We build customised websites in Craft CMS that not only look good, but also last for years. Your team manages everything independently. News, pages, documents, events, without having to call us.

When do you choose a custom website?

A standard template or theme is quick to set up but limits you in the long run. You adapt to the system instead of the other way around. With a custom website, you build on a foundation that suits your organisation and grows with your ambitions.

A custom website is the right choice if:

  • Your identity and image do not fit into a standard template
  • You or your team want to manage the website independently without technical knowledge
  • You need complex content structures such as news, events, downloads, member pages or multilingual content
  • You currently have one site but want to expand to multiple domains or languages
  • You want a website that is technically optimised for speed, security and findability

What we build

We build customised websites for organisations with ambition. No generic solutions, but platforms that are right for your target group and your sector.

Branch and sector websites Information-rich platforms for branch organisations and interest groups. CLA documents, news, agenda, downloads, member pages - all to be managed independently by a small secretariat. We also build multi-site environments where multiple platforms are managed from a single CMS.

Portfolio and project websites For architecture firms, designers and other visual professionals. Large images, video, project pages, multilingual content - fast, sleek and in line with your international image.

Corporate websites For companies that want to present their story, services and expertise professionally. Clear, convincing and designed for lead generation or brand reinforcement.

Knowledge platforms For educational institutions, research organisations and knowledge-intensive sectors. Publications, reports, course overviews, news archives - clear and searchable.

Multilingual international websites For organisations that operate internationally or wish to become internationally active. We build multilingual websites with built-in translation functionality via DeepL, making content available in multiple languages quickly and efficiently.

Independent management via Craft CMS

All the websites we build run on Craft CMS. That is a conscious choice. Craft gives editors maximum freedom to manage content without technical knowledge, while the technical structure remains entirely in our hands.

Your team can work independently:

  • Publish news and articles
  • Build pages with a wide variety of page blocks
  • Create and manage events
  • Upload documents and downloads
  • Add images and videos
  • Manage and translate multilingual content

And all without having to call us.

Technical quality as standard

A beautiful website that loads slowly or is poorly found does not work. We build websites where technical quality is not an afterthought but a standard part of every delivery.

Speed We work with Blitz for static caching and Servd or Antagonist as a hosting platform. This results in lightning-fast loading pages on every device.

Technical SEO Every website we build is technically optimised for search engines. Clean URL structures, structured data, sitemaps and metadata via SEOmatic.

Mobile All our websites are fully responsive. They work on desktop, tablet and mobile.

Security HTTPS, regular security updates and secure hosting are standard part of every delivery.

Accessibility If requested, we build websites that comply with digital accessibility guidelines so that they are usable by everyone.

How we do it

Inventory We start with your story. Who are you, who do you want to reach, what do you want to project? Only when we understand that, do we start designing.

Concept and design Based on the inventory, we create wireframes and a visual design. You give feedback until it is right. Only then do we start building.

Build We build the website in Craft CMS, fully tailored to your organisation's design and content needs.

Testing and going live Before going live, we test thoroughly on all devices and browsers. You launch with confidence.

After going live We stay involved via a maintenance contract or strip card. This keeps your website secure, up-to-date and technically optimal.

Frequently asked questions

A template is a ready-made structure that you adapt to your situation. This works fine for simple websites. A custom website is built from scratch based on your specific needs, target audience and content structure. This gives more freedom, better performance and a longer shelf life.

Yes, we regularly take over existing websites, whether for management, maintenance or further development. We first provide a thorough technical and functional analysis of the current site and then discuss what can be improved. Whether it's performance optimisation, redesigns or new functionalities, we take your website to the next level.

Sure, we can optimise existing websites in terms of speed, SEO, accessibility and design. Sometimes a complete rebuild may be necessary if the technical base is not future-proof.

It depends on the complexity. On average, we build a custom website in six to ten weeks. A web application with links and custom functionality takes longer, count on three to six months. We always provide a realistic planning in advance, so you know where you stand.
