Freelance web developer
for websites that work.

I build fast, modern websites and lean web apps. No unnecessary complexity — just what you need, done right.

Ramon Horst — freelance web developer

Hi, I'm Ramon.

I help business owners who don't have time for hassle. From a simple website to a WordPress install or a custom web app — I make sure it works, quickly and without drama.

I value simplicity: fewer dependencies, fewer problems, more speed. You get a site that loads fast, is easy to maintain and does exactly what you need.

FAQ

How much does it cost to have a website built?

Pricing depends on the project. A simple one-pager starts around €750. A full custom website usually runs between €1,500 and €5,000. Web apps and shops are project-based. A free, no-strings intro call gets you a fair estimate within one business day.

How long does it take to build a website?

A one-pager goes live in 1 to 2 weeks. A more comprehensive custom website typically takes 3 to 6 weeks, depending on scope and how quickly you provide content and feedback.

Do you build with WordPress or do you hand-code?

Both. WordPress works well when you want to manage content yourself or extend an existing site. For maximum speed, security and lower maintenance I prefer static (HTML/CSS/JS) or Next.js. I recommend per project what fits best.

Do you only work with clients in the Netherlands?

No. I work worldwide and remote. Communication can be in English or Dutch. Time zones are handled with async updates and scheduled video calls.

Who owns the website after delivery?

You do. You get full ownership of the code, domain and hosting access. No lock-in, no mandatory maintenance contract. You can switch developer or host any time.
