Have a website createdin Medemblik
Medemblik is located on the IJsselmeer, with a harbour, a historic center and a large hinterland of West Frisian villages. The economy has two speeds: water sports, catering and accommodation that peak from spring to September, and a middle class plus a shell of construction and installation companies that operate all year round.
Two customer groups, two ways of searching
A guest who moors or comes for a weekend searches on his phone for food, moorings and rental, and makes a decision within a minute. A resident is looking for a hairdresser, a mechanic or a contractor and mainly checks whether you are available. You can find both on the same site, provided you organize it properly.
For water sports
For a shipyard, a landlord or a port company, the site is the sales desk. Availability, rates and good photos are at the top, and the rest goes below. An application form will save you a pile of phone calls with the same question during the high season.

In front of the shipyard, the cafe and the hairdresser
In a port town, the seasonal businesses and the regular middle class are mixed together. The shipyard and the rental live during the sailing season, just like the eatery at the harbor and the campsite outside the center. The bakery, the hairdresser, the bicycle shop and the installer run in West Friesland itself. What they share: the customer looks first and then calls.

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 Medemblik is more than a two-hour 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 Medemblik and surrounding areas
We set the SEO title and description per page to your service plus your location, and include your working area: Wervershoof, Andijk, Opperdoes and Twisk. In the region you can also look at have a website made in Enkhuizen and have a website made in Schagen. All places are listed on the region page.
The sailing season is short and busy
From April to September, passers-by pass by and decide on the spot where they will moor, eat or have something made. Anyone who checks times, rates and availability online during those months will capture that turnover. Out of season you serve the region, and what matters most is that people know you are open.
German and English included
Some of the guests on the IJsselmeer come from Germany. For us, a second language is an institution and not a separate project, and it puts you on the map among people who would otherwise only find the well-known names.
The West Frisian villages are your hinterland
Wervershoof, Andijk, Opperdoes and Twisk have few facilities themselves. Name those places on your site that are correct and you will be included in their search results, without driving a meter further.
Availability belongs on one screen
Anyone looking for a mooring, a boat or a place to stay does not want a story but a date and a price. Those two should be visible without clicking through. The platform has a reservation module for this, with opening hours and availability per day.
Working with a remote builder
We are located in Assen, more than a two-hour drive. In practice you don't notice this: introductions and delivery are done via video calling and email. What you do notice is that you speak directly to the builder and not to an account manager.
Reviews weigh heavily in accommodation and catering.
Anyone looking for a berth, a room or a table in Medemblik chooses based on stars and the number of reviews. That is something you have influence on: ask guests who leave satisfied, while they are still on board or at the table. Immediately ask them to mention what they did and where, because Google reads those words and links them to your company. A review that states “built in Medemblik” does more for your findability than a paragraph that you write yourself. Also make sure that you respond to all reviews, even the less pleasant ones: a polite response is read by the next guest as a sign that someone is paying attention. Ten text reviews will take you further than a year of tinkering with your website, and it won't cost you anything except asking.
