About
Hi, I'm Reinier
I'm a full-stack web and app developer based in Groningen, the Netherlands. For the past [X] years I've been building websites, web applications, and mobile apps for [small businesses, startups, and organizations] that need someone who can take a project from first sketch to launch — and stick around afterwards.
Most of what I build now is custom: client portals, booking systems and internal tools in Laravel, and the mobile apps that go with them.
My roots are in PHP and WordPress, which means I've seen the inside of hundreds of websites: the good, the bad, and the "who built this?". That experience shapes how I work today: I build things that are simple to maintain, fast by default, and designed to be handed over — not to keep you dependent on me.
How I work
-
Small by choice.
I keep the operation deliberately small. You get one accountable person who knows your project inside out, instead of a rotating team and an account manager relaying messages.
-
Honest advice over upselling.
If a €1.500 WordPress site solves your problem, I won't sell you a €15.000 custom build. Long-term clients are worth more to me than one oversized invoice.
-
Plain language.
You shouldn't need a technical dictionary to follow your own project. I explain choices in terms of what they mean for your business.
-
Modern, but not trendy.
I use current, proven technology — and skip the hype that would leave your project unmaintainable in two years.
