Questions

Questions from Leiden

I give tutoring in Leiden, what do I put on my site?

Put what you teach, for which level, when there is room and how someone signs up. Nothing more is needed. A form or a WhatsApp link is enough for the first enquiries.

I am still studying, can I already set up a domain and email address?

Yes. We register the domain name and set up an email address on that name. Start with one page and expand later, even when your studies are long finished.

Do you also work for my business in Oegstgeest or Leiderdorp?

Yes, for the whole of the Netherlands. Oegstgeest is 3.5 km from Leiden and Leiderdorp 3.9 km, but distance plays no part: you send a WhatsApp message, we help. Migration, email and questions all run online.

My practice in Leiden already has a site, how do I migrate it?

We do that for free. The old site stays online until you change the nameservers, so clients notice nothing of the switch. If you are still tied to a contract, the Switch deal covers it: on a yearly plan the remaining months, up to 9, are free.

How and when can I reach you?

Over WhatsApp or email, every day between 9:00 and 21:00. Feel free to send a message with a screenshot. You get an answer from a person, and everything is in writing.

Example

An example: a tutor who wants students to sign up themselves

An example situation

A tutor in Leiden has only a social media page so far. Students and parents ask where they can sign up, and every time she types the same answer. She built a site of her own with an AI tool, but getting it online does not work.

She sends us the files over WhatsApp. We put them on our servers, take care of the domain and SSL and set up an email address on her own name. She tests the sign-up form herself with a trial message.
