Example
An example: the hair salon with outdated opening hours
An example situation
A hair salon in Assen has a WordPress site that still shows last year's opening hours. Customers call for nothing, and the appointment form sometimes delivers nothing. The email runs through a free address.
The owner gets in touch with us over WhatsApp. We move the site for free, leave the old version online until the nameservers are switched and set up email on her salon name. If she is still tied to a yearly plan, the Switch deal gives her up to 9 remaining months free. New hours she sends later through Changes.
In every plan
- Personal help over WhatsApp
- Free migration of your site and email
- Daily backups and SSL
- No setup fees

Questions
What business owners in Assen ask us
How do I get more appointments through my site as a hairdresser in Assen?
Put a WhatsApp link or booking button at the top, not at the bottom. Put treatments and times on the page as text. Someone who wants to book on their phone then has nothing to search for.
Does my shop in Assen need an online shop?
Not necessarily. Address, opening hours and a clear overview of what you sell are enough for many shops. If you also want to sell outside Assen, a WordPress online shop fits, and we host that.
Can I get help from you in Rolde or Vries?
Yes, we work remotely for the whole of the Netherlands. You message or email us, a person answers and everything is in writing. You do not need to meet in person to get your site online.
Who changes my opening hours when they change?
We can do that. Send the new hours through the Changes add-on and we put them on the site. You do not need to log in or learn anything.
What if my email still runs through a free address?
Then we set up email on your own domain, for example [email protected]. You read it on your phone or in your email program, and we bring your existing email along to the new setup.
