Have a website createdin Aalten
Aalten is located in the Achterhoek, close to the German border. It is a village with its own shopping center and a remarkable amount of activity in construction, metal and technology, often family businesses that have been around for generations and get their work through acquaintances.
Known in the region is not the same as findable
A good name takes you far into the Achterhoek. What he does not do is introduce you to the client from Doetinchem or Winterswijk who wants to compare three companies and searches the internet for this. If you are not among them, then you are not an option for him.
The border works both ways
German customers come for groceries and services, and Dutch companies deliver across the border. A German version of your site is an institution for us, not a separate process, and opens up a market that your competitor will probably ignore.
To theborder, with two markets.
Technology infamily hands.
Work from all overAchterhoek.
For the carpenter, the hairdresser and the baker
A large part of the activity in Aalten is behind the facades and in the warehouses. The contractor, the installer, the roofer and the painter who are just as likely to come to Dinxperlo and Bredevoort. And at the core the bakery, the hairdresser, the bicycle shop and the lunchroom. The first group is found by section plus location, the second by opening hours and directions.
What it costs in Aalten
We build the first 3 pages for free, via the Free Kickstart for the first 200 customers per year. Then you choose Starter for €20 or Business for €59 per month, excluding VAT. Hosting, SSL, daily backups and Dutch support are included. Your own domain name is in your name and you pay for it at your registrar; we link him to it. No setup fee, can be canceled monthly.

Keep track yourself, without calling us
Opening hours around the holidays, a new photo, a price that changes: you put that on it yourself. The editor works like Word. If you want more pages later, you can build them yourself, or we will do it for €125 per hour.
We are in Assen, and you won't notice it
Our office is in Assen, so Aalten is more than an hour and a half drive away. In practice you don't notice this: getting to know each other, going through texts and delivering them is done via video calling and email, and for a three-page site that is faster than a series of appointments. What you do notice is that you speak directly to the builder and not to an account manager.
Can be found in Aalten and surrounding areas
We set the SEO title and description per page to your service plus your location, and include your working area: Dinxperlo, Bredevoort, Varsseveld and Winterswijk. In the region you can also look at have a website made in Lichtenvoorde and have a website made in Eibergen. All places are listed on the region page.
Little competition in your own village
There are a handful of companies listed under “contractor Aalten” or “plumber Dinxperlo”, and most of them have a site that is disappointing on a telephone. That is a position you can achieve without working on your domain for years.
Two languages, two markets
Bocholt and the German hinterland are closer than Arnhem. A second language costs you the checking of the translation and nothing else. Pay attention to technical terms: a translation machine makes mistakes that a German customer immediately sees.
Every project is worth a page
For a construction company, every completed job is material: before and after photos, what you did and in which village. After a year you have twenty pages that are all found on something else, from "dormer window Bredevoort" to "renovation Dinxperlo".
Professionals also search online
In technology, good personnel are scarcer than work. Anyone who applies for a job with you first checks who you are on the internet. A page with what kind of work it is and what it looks like on the work floor attracts the right people and keeps the wrong ones away.
Tourism in the Achterhoek
Cyclists and walkers come from spring to autumn. For catering, rental and shops, this is a second customer group, which you can only reach if you are online with correct opening hours.
Ask for reviews, and ask what you did
In the Achterhoek, a lot is based on trust, and online a review is the replacement for small talk. The best time to ask for it is right after you've finished and the customer is satisfied; a week later it feels like an obligation and no one does it anymore. Immediately ask if he would like to mention what you did and in which village, because Google reads those words and links them to your company. A review that states “dormer window in Dinxperlo” is worth more than a paragraph you write yourself. Then respond to every review, even the critical ones: a polite response is read by the next customer as a sign that someone is paying attention. Ten reviews with text do more for your position in the map view than a year of tinkering with your website.
