Municipality in Fryslân
If you are starting out on your own in Leeuwarden, you do not have to start big. A domain with your own name, a site that says what you do in half a minute and an email address that looks serious: that is already enough to be found and remembered. We take care of the technical part.
What you need
Leeuwarden is the largest municipality in Fryslân and has relatively few self-employed people: 14 percent, against 17 percent nationally. So if you start out on your own here, a neat site and an email address on your own name make you stand out.
In the student city of Leeuwarden, too, things often start small. A side job as a photographer or designer grows into a little business of your own. A light site on your own domain is enough then. 8,800 people study at a hbo or wo institution here, so your next colleague is never far away.
Switch deal
Taking a yearly package while you still have up to 9 months left on your old hosting contract? Then you get your yearly invoice straight away, with those months taken off the first year. We move your site and email for free.
For new customers on a yearly package, on the package itself. Send your invoice or contract as proof of the end date. Read the terms.
Website + Mail, per year €130 €32.50
Your first yearly invoice is €32.50 instead of €130: 9 months off, 75%. You save €97.50 (excl. VAT).
In figures
According to CBS, Leeuwarden had 16,560 business locations on 1 January 2026, including small businesses without staff. Per resident that is fewer than average, so there is room to stand out.
Homes and incomes in Leeuwarden are below the national average. Those are figures for the whole municipality. They say little about your customers.

Example
An example situation
Say a student in Leeuwarden shoots portraits and weddings at the weekend. Their work sits on social media for now, their email runs through a free address and clients have to guess how to book them.
They pick a domain, we register it and set up a portfolio with a contact form. If they still have a yearly contract with another host, the Switch deal comes along. When a new photo needs to go up, they send us a WhatsApp message and we put it on.
Trades
Retail and wholesale, business services and healthcare are the three biggest groups, and they look much like the rest of the country. So what counts is less the sector than how quickly a visitor sees what they are looking for.
14.1% of business locations
A shop mainly needs a page where the address and opening hours are right. Leeuwarden has 2,340 retail and wholesale businesses, so a customer's first question is whether you are open. If you also want to sell online, we host a WordPress online shop and migrate your current one for free.
19.9% of business locations
A short page per service and a way of working that you can read in half a minute: that is all a client needs to choose. Put your email on your own domain and your business looks much sturdier straight away. With 3,300 locations it is the biggest group in the city.
10.6% of business locations
With healthcare, people first look at the address, how to reach you and what you treat. Put that at the top. Leeuwarden has 1,755 healthcare locations, so a fuller page stands out. Your form asks as little as possible, the site runs on SSL and you write the privacy text yourself.

Nearby

Questions
No, it makes little difference to your customers. The figure counts businesses, not jobs and assignments. Your site mainly has to make clear what you do and how someone can reach you.
A domain name, a site with one or two pages and an email address on that name. That is enough to be found as a serious business. You can expand later.
Yes, from anywhere in the Netherlands. We migrate the site for free and the old one stays online until you change the nameservers, so you stay reachable the whole time.
Only ask for what you really need and do not let personal details travel by ordinary email. We provide SSL and the mail environment. The privacy text stays your responsibility.
Yes, over WhatsApp, every day between 9:00 and 21:00. You get an answer from a person who looks at your site with you and explains it in plain language.
