The difference with a brochure site

Many sites in this sector go quiet a year after launch. Not because nothing's happening, but because publishing has too many hurdles. Every change goes through the builder, and they bill by the hour.

I flip that around. You get fields that match how you actually work: an activity with a date and location, a news item with an image, a file that's linked to both. What you type is what shows up, correctly, straight away.

Typical content types
News article text, image, topic
Event date, location, registration
Project or file number, status, duration
Publication pdf, author, year

How I work

For a site built from scratch and for replacing an existing one

01
Conversation

What the site needs to do, for whom, and who's going to maintain it. From that follows a fixed price and a timeline.

02
Structure

Menu, page types and fields. If there's no content yet, we work out together what needs to go on it.

03
Design

I show real screens, not vague sketches. You say what's missing. Building only starts once you've signed off.

04
Build

Built in Drupal, text and images added, existing content migrated over if there is any. You test along on a staging address.

05
Live and managed

Launch, one editorial session, and after that hosting, updates, back-ups and small adjustments for a fixed monthly price.

Included as standard

Included as standard

Works on every screen

Designed for phone and desktop, not squeezed in afterwards.

Findable on Google

Clean URLs, titles and descriptions, sitemap submitted to Search Console, and redirects so old links keep working.

Fast

Images optimised automatically, caching set up correctly.

Secure

HTTPS, security updates and back-ups with restore options.

Forms

Contact, registrations or requests.

What it costs

Build
from €800

One-off, VAT included. Fixed price, agreed before anything starts.

Hosting and maintenance
€50 per month

Hosting, updates, back-ups and small adjustments included.

No hourly rate that creeps up afterwards, no annual surprise. What the build costs depends on its scope, but you know the amount before anything starts.

Want to expand something later? You'll get a separate price for that. You decide yourself whether it goes ahead.

  • One point of contact. Whoever designs it also builds it and manages it afterwards. No hand-offs.
  • No vendor lock-in. Standard Drupal, no custom constructions. Any developer can take it over.
In practice

Built from scratch — there was no site yet. They now fill the agenda themselves. What used to be a social media post that then disappeared now has a permanent place.

For web agencies

Freelance Drupal subcontracting

Agencies bring me in for the Drupal work they can't fit in themselves. Building a theme, content types and views, migrations, or taking over a site that's already live. I work under your name, on your project, and speak directly to whoever needs to know.

Theme development design to Drupal
Backend and structure content types, views, permissions
Migrations old site or database to Drupal
Taking over hosting and/or maintenance per site or per month
