Example
An example situation
Say her customers now order by message and pay in cash. That works, until it gets busier. Then she spends every evening going through WhatsApp messages. She wants one page with what she bakes, how to order and when to pick it up.
A WordPress shop fits that. We host it, arrange SSL and Cloudflare and make a backup every day. What she sells and what it costs is up to her. If the offer changes with the seasons, she sends the new list through Changes. It is on the site the same day.
Trades
In Almere, business services is the largest group, followed by retail and wholesale and healthcare. Transport and storage is small, but more common here than average.
18.0% of business locations
A new advisory firm does not stand out by default in Almere, with 6,000 business locations in the same sector. Show on the homepage in one sentence what you do and for whom. One clear page works better than five vague ones. An email address on your own domain shows right away that the business is here to stay.
13.5% of business locations
Almere has 4,520 retail and wholesale businesses, so address and opening hours need to be right and at the top. If your online shop is with another host, we migrate it for free. The old shop stays open until the nameservers change.
4.2% of business locations1.5 times the national average
If you transport goods, show at the top which area you cover and what you carry. With 1,415 transport and storage businesses, a client wants to know that quickly. Add a WhatsApp link as the fastest route to you.

In every plan
In figures
Five years ago Almere had 24,355 business locations, and on 1 January 2026 there are 33,365 according to CBS. Per thousand residents that puts the city around the national average.
There are relatively few jobs in the municipality itself. Many residents work elsewhere, which means your customers can also come from outside Almere.
It is a young municipality with many families: almost one in five residents is under 15.

Questions
Not for that reason alone. But a new customer or competitor will look up your name, and you want them to find your own site instead of an empty search result.
Yes, if it runs on WordPress or consists of PHP. The old shop stays online until you switch the nameservers, and we test the result together with you. If you still have a yearly contract with your current host, the Switch deal comes along: the remaining months, up to 9, are free with us.
Yes, for the whole of the Netherlands. Zeewolde is 18.1 km from Almere as the crow flies and Lelystad 19.3 km, but we work online. It makes no difference.
Your service area. Someone searching from Lelystad or the Gooi wants to see right away whether you go there. One sentence on the homepage with the places you drive to is enough.
You request a small change, such as a new opening time or photo, and we make it. You send it over WhatsApp or email. Bigger jobs, such as your own plugin, we do by the hour.
