Gent has many freelancers, creative teams, service providers, and SMEs that want to be visible online — and explain more clearly why someone should choose them. A strong website does not start with a template, but with a clear structure: what do you do, for whom, why is that relevant, and what is the next step for the visitor?
From compact to growth site
A compact website starts from €4,000. Growth projects (€6,000–€10,000) make sense when you need multiple services, cases, a blog, local landing pages, or CMS management.
Honest about DIY vs. agency
Wix or AI tools help in the idea phase. Going live — domain, email, SEO, updates — often takes more time than expected. We take that part on so you can focus on your business.
No false Gent cases
We use local context to answer search intent precisely, but do not claim Gent client cases when they are not publicly available. You judge us on existing projects, price ranges, and the quality of the conversation.
