About DevCru

I'm an independent Dutch web developer who builds digital products around your business

DevCru is me: an independent web developer based in the Netherlands. I build business websites, e-commerce stores, web applications and mobile apps for business owners and brands that want to grow, improve how they work or create a better experience for their customers.

I don't start with a template and try to make your business fit it. I start by understanding your business, your customers and what you need your website or app to achieve. Before I build anything, I want to know:

  • Where does your revenue come from?
  • What do your customers need to know before they contact you?
  • What questions do people ask you repeatedly?
  • What should a visitor understand within the first ten seconds?
  • What should your website or app help you do better?

From there, I design and build the right solution. I keep the process simple and transparent: you see progress every week, I explain what I'm building and why, and I give you a clear price before development starts. For projects with a defined scope, you get a fixed-price quote rather than an open-ended invoice.

A landing page starts from €750, a starter website from €1,250 and an online shop from €2,500. Larger web applications with features such as logins, payments or scheduling are quoted individually — and you'll receive a clear quote within 48 hours.

Performance and search visibility aren't things I bolt on after a website is finished. I build pages that are fast on phones and desktops, easy for Google and AI answer engines to understand, structured around what your customers actually search for, and useful for real people.

I don't disappear when your website goes live. I can keep it updated, monitor it, fix issues and help you decide what to build next — another language, an online booking system, a link with your accounting, CRM or administration software, payments, customer accounts or a mobile app alongside your website.

  • Fixed pricing and a clear quote within 48 hours
  • One experienced developer from first idea to launch
  • Fast, mobile-friendly websites built with SEO and AEO in mind
  • Ongoing maintenance and support after launch

Common questions

Costs, timelines and how I work

Why choose a freelance web developer?

What are the advantages of working directly with me?

When you work with me, you work directly with the person designing and developing your website or application. That means fewer meetings, fewer handovers and less time explaining the same thing to different people.

I can understand your business goals, make technical decisions and implement the solution myself. For many businesses, that means a faster, more personal and more flexible development process.

How much does a website cost?

What does a website or web app cost?

A landing page with DevCru starts from €750, a starter website from €1,250 and an online shop from €2,500.

More complex websites and web applications — for example, platforms with user accounts, payments, scheduling, dashboards or integrations — are priced according to the functionality and scope of the project. I provide a clear quote before development starts, and for projects with a defined scope I can work on a fixed-price basis.

How long does it take to build a website?

How quickly can you launch?

The timeline depends on the size and complexity of your project. A straightforward business website can move from planning to launch much faster than a custom web application with accounts, payments or integrations.

I work in short, clear stages and share progress regularly, so you can see how the project is developing rather than waiting until the very end. Tell me what you want to build and I'll give you a realistic timeline along with your quote.

SEO & AEO

Do I build websites that are optimized for Google and AI search?

Yes. I build search visibility into the website from the start: technically sound pages, fast loading times, mobile-friendly layouts, logical information architecture and content based on the questions your target audience actually searches for.

I also apply AEO — Answer Engine Optimization — making important information clear and easy for search engines and AI-powered systems to understand and answer, around questions such as what your business offers, who it's for, what it costs, how it works, where you're located and how quickly someone can get started.

The goal isn't simply to rank for keywords. The goal is to make your website the clearest and most useful answer for the people looking for what you offer.
