Working with a web designer who gets you.

Your website does not grow along with your business by itself. That is something I am happy to help you with. Below you can read what working together looks like, and why entrepreneurs choose me.

What working with me looks like:

The introduction call

We talk on the phone or meet online, around 30 minutes, no obligations. Together we explore what you need and whether I am the right person to help you with it.

Website Discovery

We map out where you are now, your goals and the people you want to reach. This is the foundation everything else is built on, including the price and the planning. 

Strategy and content

Through strategy sessions and working documents we decide the structure and the message of your website. You hold the pen for your own words, I take care of the overview and the guidance.

Design and build

I design and build your website in WordPress with Divi, with attention to design, technology and SEO. I guide the whole process personally, so you always know what is happening and can give feedback.

Handover

Once the website is completely finished we walk through your new site together online, so you know exactly how everything works and how to manage it yourself. I send you a handy video of that walkthrough.

Aftercare and growth

You are not on your own after the handover either. You know where to go with your questions, and your website is built to grow with you.

What do you get out of it?

After working together you have a website you are proud of again. One you are happy to share, that attracts new clients and where existing clients find what they are looking for. You notice it in the responses, people understand straight away what you do and why you do it. They feel the quality you deliver before they have even spoken to you.

But perhaps even more important: you have peace of mind.

No more worrying about technical updates, no more frustration about things not working the way you want. Your website is up to date and it simply works, on every device, for every visitor. It grows with your business because we laid a flexible foundation from the start. And if you have questions? You know where to find me.

The Merkcollectief team

Why entrepreneurs work with me:

They want a sparring partner, not just someone to carry out the work.
I think with you about what genuinely works for your business. Not from a set of standard solutions, but from your own situation and your own goals.

They appreciate clear communication.
No technical jargon, no complicated processes. Just a clear explanation of what we are doing, why we are doing it, and what you can expect from it.

They are looking for quality that lasts.
A website that keeps going and keeps growing for years. Not a quick fix, but a solid foundation you can build on.

They want to stay focused on their own work.
You are the expert in your field. I take building your website off your hands, so you can do what you are good at: helping your clients.

“You are a strong communicator, you quickly understand what a client wants, and you add valuable, workable ideas on top of that.”

“The enthusiasm was infectious, and it carried us along in the process.”

Doubts you might have:

I don't know exactly what I want yet.
You don't need to. A big part of my work is exactly that, discovering together what does and does not suit you, through the discovery and the strategy sessions.

I don't have much time.
That is why I work with clear sessions and concrete working documents instead of endless loose questions. You set the course, I take care of the structure around it.

It is bound to be too expensive for me.
My websites start at €3,200, and I always give you a detailed quote up front so you know exactly what you get for the agreed amount.

I am not ready for it yet.
Asking your questions can bring clarity. I am happy to take a look with you during a no obligation introduction call.

“Deshna never starts from a no, always from a full yes. If something is technically difficult, she finds a way. That is such a relief!”

No obligations. Just an open and inspiring conversation.

We can talk on the phone or meet online, whichever suits you best. In around 30 minutes we explore together what you need and whether I am the right person to help you with it.
