Question 1

What's your standard build time?

Accepted Answer

Five working days for the starter package. Intake on Monday, launch on Friday. For custom work (e-commerce, multilingual, CRM integrations) 1–3 weeks, always agreed in advance.

Question 2

How do you handle scope and price?

Accepted Answer

Fixed packages, no hidden extras. What's in the starter is clear; anything beyond gets quoted per change request so you never hit a surprise invoice.

Question 3

Is there a deposit?

Accepted Answer

Yes — 30–50% to kick off, the rest at launch. For longer projects we sometimes split into three milestones. Invoicing follows Dutch VAT rules.

Question 4

What isn't included in the starter?

Accepted Answer

Third-party licenses (premium booking systems, etc.), stock photography beyond a basic pack, large-scale copywriting, and campaigns after launch. All transparent in the quote.

Question 5

Who writes the copy?

Accepted Answer

We write the SEO baseline. For personal sections (team, about, vision) we ask for short brief docs or interviews and then write in your voice.

Question 6

How do you keep the gallery fast with hundreds of photos?

Accepted Answer

Modern formats (AVIF/WebP), progressive loading and a CDN. Dozens of galleries with thousands of images still load smoothly.

Question 7

Can we offer a client gallery area?

Accepted Answer

Yes — as a gated section inside the site, or integrated with Pic-Time, Pixieset or your own gallery tool.

Question 8

Can we sell prints or digital packages directly?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a lightweight shop with Mollie or Stripe checkout, tied to your gallery tool for delivery.

Question 9

Do you work with watermarks for portfolio photos?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the style — subtle corner marks or clean images with copyright metadata. We'll match your preference.

Question 10

Can we embed video reels?

Accepted Answer

Yes — lazy-loaded YouTube/Vimeo embeds on relevant pages, or self-hosted for maximum polish (heavier, we scope with you).

Question 11

Can we show packages with different currencies?

Accepted Answer

For international photographers we set up multi-currency display with automatic conversion or manual price lists per region.

Question 12

How do we rank for 'wedding photographer [city]'?

Accepted Answer

Local SEO with detailed city pages, schema markup and review integration from Google/The Knot.

Question 13

How long does it take?

Accepted Answer

5 working days for the starter. With custom gallery logic or a booking portal, 7–10 days.

Question 14

Do you offer maintenance after launch?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every site comes with a free 30-day shake-out for bugs and small tweaks. After that you can pick a light monthly retainer or work per-incident.

Question 15

Can my team update copy and photos themselves?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We set up a light editor tuned for your niche (menu, pricing, team, blog). Short training at launch so everything runs without us.

Question 16

Who owns the site and code?

Accepted Answer

You do. At final payment you get a perpetual licence; source lives in a GitHub repo we can hand over on request. Hosting and domains you can migrate at any time.

Question 17

Can you help with SEO and ads after launch?

Accepted Answer

Yes — monthly optimisation (content, technical, conversion) or ad-hoc help with Google / Meta Ads. Often as a monthly contract with shared goals.

Question 18

Is my site GDPR-compliant?

Accepted Answer

By default: cookie banner, EU hosting, TLS and a signed data processing agreement. For healthcare, finance and legal we add extra controls.
