Questions
What business owners in Hilversum ask us
What does a freelancer in Hilversum put on the first page?
What you do, for whom and what the next step is: a form or a WhatsApp button. Put that in the first lines, so it is visible on a phone without scrolling.
My developer site is a React build: does it fit your hosting?
Yes, as a static export or as a PHP site. We run Node on request. Email on your own domain and SSL are included.
Do you also work for a business in Laren or Baarn?
Yes. Laren and Baarn are close to Hilversum, but distance plays no part: everything runs over WhatsApp and email, from Hoevelaken.
How do I set up email on my own domain as a freelancer in Hilversum?
You choose a domain name, we register it and put your email address on it, as forwarding or as your own mailbox. You ask questions over WhatsApp.
What happens to my old site when you migrate it?
It stays online until you change the nameservers, so visitors notice nothing. Your email moves along and the migration is free.

Example
An example: a designer with a free email address
An example situation
A graphic designer works as a freelancer in Hilversum and has a five-year-old site, with a host where a yearly plan is still running. Her email runs through a free address, which looks weaker on a quote than her own name would.
For the designer in Hilversum, one WhatsApp message is enough. We migrate the site for free and put her email on her own domain. Thanks to the Switch deal, the remaining months of her yearly plan, up to 9, are free with us.
