Enquiries regarding timetables, property and bespoke software in Groningen

A business website usually takes 4–8 weeks to build, a bespoke web application 8–16 weeks, and a mobile app 10–16 weeks. The bottleneck lies in the content and feedback, not in the code. A date is specified in the proposal.

That’s right. Absolutely. The code, the design, the domain, the hosting and all the accounts are in your name from day one. If we part ways, you take everything with you. No binding contracts.

Your proposal includes a period of free aftercare, during which bugs and minor adjustments will be rectified. After that, I can either continue on a monthly basis, or everything will be handed over with documentation that is detailed enough for your team to manage it themselves.

That’s a good question, and it has nothing to do with my health. Your project is under version control with full documentation, so another developer could get started on it straight away. All the accounts are in your name, so nothing is being held hostage.

Quite often. It’s actually a large part of my work. It starts with a paid audit to assess the state of the codebase and work out what it would cost to fix it. Sometimes it turns out to be cheaper to rebuild everything from scratch, and you’ll certainly hear about it if that’s the case.

No. I’ve been building them for years, and that’s exactly why I’ve stopped. The site works fine on launch day, but afterwards the plug-ins run to their own schedules, interfere with each other in ways nobody had anticipated, and the licences are renewed every year, whether the site makes money or not. What I build instead does only what you need. If WordPress really suits you, I’d rather tell you that than sell you something else.

Both. In most projects, design and development go hand in hand, ensuring that the process is both swift and consistent. Do you already have a designer or brand guidelines? If so, I’ll build on those.

Yes. Most of our communication takes place via video calls and email anyway. I meet clients from the region in person: Assen is twenty minutes away by train, and Leeuwarden thirty-five. Apart from that, distance has never been the reason why anything went wrong.

I need three things: a clear understanding of the problem, your input or a willingness to work on it, and someone who can make a decision without having to convene a committee.

Please have a look at the ‘Prices’ page for the exact rates. I’ll give you a fixed price before we start, so there won’t be any surprises.

A small initial project is the best way to see if we work well together. Most of my regular clients started with something small.

Yes, and I’d prefer it if you did that. The configuration tool here is free and you don’t need an account to use it. Your draft will remain in your browser, so if you clear your cache, it’ll be gone and I won’t be able to retrieve it. Please bring the result with you, as this will make the quote fairer.

That in itself is a service. I go through the merge request line by line and then decide what is safe to release, based on what would cause you the most problems first. You pay per minute, excluding VAT.
