In short

What do web design and web development cover?

Web design is how your website looks and works for a visitor; web development is the build behind it: the CMS, the speed, the forms and the integrations. Sharp Creations, a web agency in Julianadorp (North Holland, the Netherlands), does both together, for freelancers and SMEs in the region and across the country. A Starter site of 1 to 5 pages costs from €1,495, a complete site with a blog from €2,950 and a custom build with its own CMS from €4,500, all excl. VAT and with a fixed price up front. A Starter site usually goes live in 2 to 4 weeks.

Below you can read which kinds of websites we build, how to choose and what is always included. Looking mainly for packages and the step-by-step process? See having a website built.

Choosing

How do you choose the right route?

The choice depends less on taste than on three practical questions: who edits the site and how often, does it need to talk to another system (CRM, bookings, stock), and how many pages will you have a year from now?

StarterYou want to be found and called; 1 to 5 pages is enoughOur CMS or WordPress€1,495

Always included

What every website includes.

01

Design on your brand

Your own colours, fonts and imagery. Not a template your competitor uses too.

02

A CMS you understand

You edit text, photos and pages yourself, without code and without calling us.

03

SEO basics

A title and description per page, a sitemap and structured data for Google and AI assistants.

04

Fast on every phone

Light pages and modern image formats, tested on an ordinary phone.

05

Accessible

Good contrast, clear headings and usable with a keyboard.

06

Yours

The site, text and images are yours once paid. With custom work, the code too.

Technology

What we do under the bonnet.

Speed and Core Web Vitals

Google measures visitor experience with three numbers: how quickly the main part of a page appears (LCP, good is under 2.5 seconds), how quickly the page responds to a tap or click (INP, good is under 200 milliseconds) and whether the layout shifts while loading (CLS). We build with light pages, modern image formats and as few scripts as needed. More on frontend development.

Findable from launch day

Every page gets its own title and description, a logical heading structure and structured data (schema.org), so Google and AI assistants understand who you are, what you do and where. Climbing higher in Google is a craft of its own: see SEO and AEO.

A CMS that fits

For most sites we use our own CMS or WordPress; if you work in HubSpot, HubSpot CMS. If you publish your own kinds of content, such as vacancies, projects or locations, we build a custom CMS.

Hosting, security and maintenance

We arrange the domain, SSL and hosting in the EU, and keep up with updates and backups. The monthly cost depends on your site and is in the quote up front.

How we work

From first call to launch.

  1. 01

    Getting acquainted

    A call, a video call or a visit in the region. What do you do, for whom, and what should the site achieve?

  2. 02

    Proposal with a fixed price

    What you get, the planning and the price on paper. We usually start within 1 to 2 weeks of your go-ahead.

  3. 03

    Design and build

    In short rounds, so you always see where things stand and can steer in time.

  4. 04

    Launch and handover

    We launch the site and walk you through the CMS. Build bugs that turn up later, we fix free of charge.

Price

What drives the price.

A website starts at €1,495 excl. VAT. What determines the final price:

  • Number of pages and page types. Five simple pages are quicker to build than a site with services, projects, vacancies and a blog.
  • Design. Do we work with your existing brand, or design something new?
  • Copy and images. We can help write and arrange imagery; that is listed separately in the quote.
  • Integrations. A form to your inbox is standard; a link to your CRM, booking system or newsletter costs extra.
  • Languages. Each language is another set of pages to fill and maintain.
  • Moving an old site. With a redirect for every old page, so you keep your Google rankings.

You get a fixed price up front. If the project grows, you hear about it before we build further.

Ask your question
What is the difference between web design and web development?
Web design is about how the site looks and how visitors find their way. Web development is the build: the CMS, speed, forms and integrations. With us the same team does both, so the design really gets built as intended.
Which CMS do you use for websites?
For most sites our own CMS or WordPress, for HubSpot users HubSpot CMS. If you need your own content types or integrations, a custom CMS. We advise based on how you will keep the site up to date.
Can you improve my current website instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. Start with a free SEO check: within 2 working days you see the three biggest opportunities. If your site is slow or hard to manage, we will honestly say that replacing it is cheaper. See SEO and AEO.
How long does it take to build a website?
A Starter site usually goes live in 2 to 4 weeks, a complete site in 4 to 6 weeks. Custom work takes longer; the planning is in the proposal. We usually start within 1 to 2 weeks of your go-ahead.
Will I keep my Google rankings when my site is replaced?
Yes, if it is done properly. We set up a 301 redirect for every old page, carry over titles and descriptions and submit the new sitemap. Read replacing a website without losing SEO.
Is the website mine after delivery?
Yes. The site, text and images are yours once paid. With custom work you also get the code and the Git repository. If you ever want to move, we will help.
Do you only work in North Holland?
No. We are based in Julianadorp and happily visit businesses in the Kop van Noord-Holland. With clients elsewhere in the Netherlands we work by video call and phone.

What kind of website are you after?

Tell us briefly what you do and what the site should achieve. You usually hear back within one working day, with a fixed price or a few focused questions.
