Your website is already built.

We build it first. You look for free. If you do not like it, we throw it away.

We come to your door Cancel any month Just your business name and a phone number. No obligation.

Your site is live within 24 hours of the one-off payment arriving.

It is already built by then. All that is left is connecting a domain to it.

Now €195 instead of €395.

An introductory price, for our first customers. Temporary and limited. And the monthly amount is €14.95 for the first twelve months instead of €29.

How it works.

Three steps. You do not have to decide anything until the third, and until then it costs you nothing.

  1. We build it

    We look your business up the way a customer would: on Google, on the map, on the street. Out of that we make a complete website. Text, layout, colour, images, opening hours, directions, contact details. It is all there.

    That happens before you know us and it costs you nothing. We take the risk that you say no, because we think you should see what you are buying first.

    Us
    Research, writing, design, building and testing. On the phone, on the tablet and on the computer.
    You
    Nothing. At this point you do not even know we are working on it.
  2. You look at it

    Someone from us comes by the business, at a quiet moment, with the site on a tablet. You see your own name, your own photos and your own opening hours on a screen and you simply say what you think of it.

    Whatever is not right, we change. Often there and then, across the counter. If you say no, we throw it away and you never hear from us again. No second call, no follow-up offer.

    Us
    Show the site, listen, adjust.
    You
    Watch for a quarter of an hour and say yes or no.
  3. Only then do you pay

    If you like it, you give your agreement on a page that is on the screen right there. You pay the one-off amount then, before delivery. Once it has arrived we sort out the domain, put the site online and make sure Google finds it. It is live within 24 hours of receipt.

    The one-off amount is payable from your agreement, not a day earlier. The site only goes live once that amount is in. Now 195 euro one-off instead of 395, plus 14.95 euro a month for the first twelve months and 29 after that, cancel any month.

    Us
    Domain, hosting, live within 24 hours of receipt, findability and the maintenance afterwards.
    You
    Give your agreement and pay the one-off amount, before going live.

Try your own name on it.

Type the name of your business. It goes up on the front of the building beside this, and the lights come on.

And your address becomes www.yourbusiness.com

This is a drawing of a building, not a real website. What we build for you gets your own photos, your own words and your own opening hours.

What is in it.

A website is more than a picture with your name on it. This is what comes with a site from Pixelpand, without you having to ask for it.

An address of your own, in your name

A domain like yourbusiness.com, registered in your name and your company registration number. If you already have one we use it and nothing changes on your business cards. We will put email on it too if you want, so you no longer have to use a free address from a provider.

Good on a phone, not just on a computer

By far the most people look your business up with a phone in their hand, often while they are already on their way. So we build the phone version first and the computer version after. Big buttons, readable text, your phone number callable with one tap and the route openable with one tap.

Findable in Google

We submit your site, put the right details in the code that Google reads and make sure your business, your trade and your town sit together. No magic and no promised first place, but the work that most small sites simply skip.

Your Google reviews on the site

If you already have reviews on Google, those stars and that text go on your own page too. That is part of the ordinary website, you pay nothing extra for it. They keep themselves up to date. If you do not have any yet we skip this; we do not invent them.

Opening hours, directions and contact

The three things people actually come to your site for are at the top, not somewhere near the bottom. Including different hours around the holidays, because that is what gets searched for most.

Images that suit your business

If you have good photos of your own, we use them. If you do not, we make images that fit your trade. Never those smiling people from a stock library that everyone recognises.

Hosting, security and updates

The site sits on a server in the Netherlands, with a valid padlock in the address bar and daily backups. We do the updates and fix the outages. You never have to dismiss a plug-in warning, because there are none in it.

Small changes are included

Different opening hours, a new price, an extra photo, a week closed for a holiday: you send a message and it is usually on the site the same day. That is in the monthly amount, you get no invoice for it. If you want something genuinely new, such as online booking or a small web shop, that is an add-on and you get a price in advance.

And what can be added later.

The site above is complete as it stands. If your trade needs more, we build another floor on top. Only if you ask for it, at a price you know in advance.

  1. Booking or appointments, from 195 euro

    For hairdressers, barbers, beauty salons, pedicurists, car detailers.

    Your customer sees on the site which days and times are still free and picks one. You are notified straight away, by email or on your phone, and it goes in the diary. Two customers in the same slot is no longer possible.

    Mostly it saves the phone ringing at the wrong moment: people book in the evening, while you are closed.

  2. A small web shop, from 295 euro

    For off-licences, florists, delicatessens, any shop with a product of its own.

    Sell a limited number of products online, with a basket and online payment. You see the orders come in and either set them aside or post them.

    Meant for a handful of items you are proud of, not for a warehouse with hundreds of lines. If that is what you need, we will tell you honestly that we are the wrong people.

  3. Order and collect, from 95 euro

    For bakers, takeaways, butchers, caterers.

    Customers order in advance and choose what time they pick it up. You work through the list in the order that suits you, instead of a queue running out of the door on a Saturday morning.

  4. Quote requests, from 45 euro

    For builders, gardeners, painters, fitters.

    A form that asks the right questions straight away: what, where, how big and when. Photos welcome. You do not have to call back three times before you know what it is about, and you can judge better whether it is worth it.

  5. Your work in pictures, from 45 euro

    For plasterers, furniture makers, hairdressers, gardeners, tattooists.

    A gallery of your work, with before and after where that adds something. We put the first set on and later you send new photos, which we add without an extra invoice.

  6. A newsletter, from 45 euro

    For shops with a changing range or regular offers.

    Visitors leave their email address and you send a message yourself whenever there is something to say. An offer, a new collection, or simply that you are closed for a week. Properly set up, with an unsubscribe button that works.

  7. A second language, from 95 euro

    For businesses with many customers who do not read the local language.

    The same site, in a second language as well. The visitor chooses, and Google finds both versions. Not an automatic translate button that gets it half wrong, but text someone has actually been through.

What does an add-on cost?

Every add-on above has a starting price. That is a guide, not an invoice: in your case it may be less or more. You always get a fixed price in advance, and nothing is built without you having said yes to it.

Nothing is ever added unasked. An add-on only appears on your site after you have seen the price and said yes yourself. Your monthly amount does not change by itself.

This can still happen years after delivery. You do not have to choose anything now.

This is what such a site looks like.

This is an example, not an existing business. Click the window open: you land on a working site, built the way we would build yours.

Why the opening hours are at the top

At a bakery almost everyone is looking for the same thing: is it open and until when. That answer is in the first sentence and not three screens further down. Everything after that is for the visitor who wants to know more.

Why there is no menu with ten buttons

A shop does not need ten pages. Four subjects, one continuous page, and on the phone a button that calls. The less there is to choose, the more often people do what they came for.

Why it is so fast

No WordPress, no plug-ins, no cookie banner to dismiss first. The site is built by hand and is on the screen in under a second, even on an old phone with poor reception.

What is ready and waiting.

Pixelpand has just started. Right now we are building the first demos for businesses in the places where we have someone on the ground. One of them might already be yours.

A row of nine shopfronts built from square blocks. Eight of them are dark; in the middle one the windows glow orange.
  • Bakery demo ready
  • Bicycle repair demo ready
  • Hair salon being built
  • Your business still empty

We name no names here as long as the owner has not said yes. If you want to know whether your business is already on the list, send us an email.

What it costs.

A one-off amount and a monthly amount. Nothing else, unless you ask for an add-on yourself, and we agree that price in advance.

€395 €195

one-off, normally €395

An introductory price, for our first customers.

Pixelpand has just started and is looking for the first businesses willing to say yes. While that is the case, you pay 195 euro. In return we ask for an honest review, even if it is not flattering.

  • Your site is live within 24 hours of the one-off payment arriving.
  • On top of that €14.95 a month for the first twelve months. €29 after that.
  • Cancel any month. Temporary and limited, and we are not putting a countdown clock on it.

Building and putting it online Research, text, images, design, building, testing, connecting the domain and going online within 24 hours of receipt. One-off, payable on agreement, before going live.

€195 now, normally €395

Hosting and maintenance Server, padlock, backups, updates, fixing outages and small changes. Cancel any month, with a notice period of one month at most. The first twelve months at the introductory price, €29 a month after that.

€29 €14.95 a month, first 12 months

Add-ons, only if you want them Online booking, a small web shop, order and collect, a quote form and the rest of the list above. This is genuinely extra work, so it costs extra.

extra price agreed in advance

All amounts are excluding VAT. You pay the one-off amount on agreement, before delivery. The site only goes live once it has arrived. The monthly amount starts from the month you go live. Without add-ons, these are all the costs you have with us.

Where the monthly amount goes

The monthly amount is not rent for your own website. It is the server it sits on, the certificate for the padlock, the daily backups, the updates to the technology underneath, and the time to make your changes. If you do nothing, you are paying for a site that keeps working. If you call every month with something, you still pay the same. And if you add an add-on later, this amount does not change by itself.

Do the sums over four years

The difference with a long-running contract is not the monthly price, it is the fact that you can stop. Below we use the normal price of 395 euro, not the introductory price, to keep it fair. By way of comparison, an invented but not unusual contract of 69 euro a month fixed for four years:

Pixelpand, four years €1,787

395 one-off plus 48 months at 29 euro. With the introductory prices on offer now it is 1,418 euro: 195 one-off, twelve months at 14.95 and 29 after that. You can stop any month.

Worked example, fixed contract €3,312

48 months at 69 euro. Stopping early is not possible. This is a worked example, not an offer from an existing company.

What you do not get

  • No 48-month contract. You cancel monthly, with a notice period of one month at most.
  • No silent renewal that you find out about a year later.
  • No costs that turn up later. The two amounts above are everything. If you want an add-on, you hear that price in advance and say yes or no yourself.
  • No waiting. Live within 24 hours of the one-off payment arriving, not in three weeks.
  • No holding your domain hostage. If it is in your name, it is yours. If you cancel, you get the files.
  • No salesperson who keeps calling for months. If you say no, that is the end of it.
  • No cookie banner and no trackers. Your visitors are not followed, so that banner is not needed.

Questions we get more often.

Most business owners have had someone at the door about a website before. These questions come out of that.

I already have a Facebook page. Why would I need a website?

A Facebook page belongs to Facebook, a website belongs to you. People searching Google for your trade and your town rarely end up on a Facebook page, and those who do see adverts first and your opening hours second.

Keep Facebook by all means, use it for news and photos. Put the fixed things on your own site: what you do, when you are open, where you are and how to reach you. The two do not fight each other, they complement each other.

I do not have time to arrange this.

That is why we build it first. You do not have to write any text, supply any photos or pick a typeface. We look your business up, write it and put it together.

What it costs you is a quarter of an hour of looking and saying what you think. That is the whole investment on your side, and you only make it once something already exists.

What if I close the business, or simply want to cancel?

Then you cancel. Monthly, with a notice period of one month at most. An email is enough.

You get the files of your website, and if the domain is in your name it stays yours. We keep nothing back to hold on to you. If the work is good you will stay of your own accord, and if it is not good you should not be stuck with it.

Who owns my domain name?

You do. We prefer to register the domain in your name and your company registration number straight away, so there is never any doubt about it.

If you already have a domain we use that, and nothing changes on your business cards, your van or your shop sign. A domain in the builder's name that you are not allowed to take with you is exactly the trap we want to get rid of.

Can I make changes myself?

You do not need to, and that is deliberate. Small changes are included in the monthly amount. You send a message or an email with what needs to be different and it is usually on the site the same day.

We have seen what happens when a business owner gets a login for a system they use twice a year: the site breaks or goes untouched for years. If you really do want access, that can be arranged, but only ask once you are actually going to use it.

How long until the site is online?

The site goes live within 24 hours of the one-off payment arriving. We dare to promise that because the heavy work is done by then: the site was built before we came to see you. All that is left is connecting a domain and putting it online.

If something has to be changed first, we do that, and the 24 hours only start the moment the one-off payment for the changed version has arrived. If you are still waiting on a domain name held by another party, we have no choice but to wait with you; we will say so straight away.

Can I add online booking or a web shop later?

Yes. Alongside the ordinary website we offer add-ons: online booking or appointments, a small web shop with payment, order and collect, a quote form, a newsletter, a photo gallery and a second language.

These are not in the standard price, because it is genuinely extra work. You ask about it, you get a price in advance, and we only build it once you say yes. Nothing is ever added unasked, and it can still happen years after delivery.

And what if I do not like it?

Then say so, straight out. We adjust small things on the spot: a different photo, a different colour, a sentence that needs to change.

If it is fundamentally wrong we throw the site away and you never hear from us again. You have signed nothing and paid nothing, so you owe us nothing. That is the whole idea behind building first: the risk is ours, not yours.

Why is this so cheap?

Because there is no sales machine in between. No office, no account manager, no three-meeting quotation process, no project manager forwarding email to the builder.

On top of that we build in a fixed way that we know well. A site for a shop or a tradesperson therefore takes hours rather than weeks. That does not cost quality, it saves overhead. What you pay extra at an agency is largely the agency.

Will there be costs later on?

Not unless you ask for them yourself. The one-off amount and the monthly amount are everything, excluding VAT. That covers hosting, security, updates, backups and small changes. Right now you pay 14.95 for the first twelve months instead of 29; what it becomes after that is on the form you sign, so it never comes as a surprise.

If you later want an add-on that is genuinely new work, for example a web shop or online booking, you get a price for it first and decide yourself. We never send an invoice for something you have not said yes to beforehand.

What if you stop doing this?

A fair question, and one that gets asked too rarely. Your site is an ordinary website with no secret parts and no system only we can get into.

You get the files and the domain is in your name, so any other builder could take it over tomorrow. That is exactly why we build it this way: you have to be able to leave, even if we are no longer here.

Who makes this.

There are two of us. During the week we build software for complicated problems. Pixelpand is that same way of working, applied to the shop around the corner.

Why we build in advance

Talking about a website gets you very little. Most business owners do not know what to choose, and that is only logical, because it is not your trade. You are asked to judge something that does not exist yet, and all you can do is nod and hope.

A site that already exists, you can judge. You see at a glance whether it is right, whether the photos suit your business and whether the text sounds like the way you talk. So we turn the order around: build first, then show, and only then talk about money.

Why we do not reinvent the wheel

We do this often, and that helps. We know by now what a good shop site needs: opening hours that are correct, directions that open with one tap, a phone number you can press, and code that will still be standing in five years. That does not have to be thought up again every time.

That is where the promise comes from that your site goes live within 24 hours of the one-off payment arriving. Not because we run fast, but because the heavy work is done by then. What is left is connecting a domain and putting the site online.

Why someone comes to your door

Because you can hold us to it. We work with people on the ground in your area: someone comes into the business, you see who you are dealing with, and if something has to change later you send a message to the same people who built the site. No ticket number, no account manager, no being put through to another country.

Why no multi-year contracts

There are plenty of business owners walking around with a 48-month contract that does not even include their own domain. That works as long as you cannot leave, and that is precisely why it works. We would rather you stayed because it is good. If we do not do our job, you should be able to leave within a month.

We do not make unsolicited calls. If you do not reply, we leave it at that.
