Frequently Asked Questions

GuusCode builds modern websites, web apps and tools that are fast, clear and easy to manage. From simple portfolios to custom software, GuusCode helps you from idea to live result.

For startups, small businesses, content creators and freelancers who want something professional without fuss. A website, portfolio or tool that truly works.

It’s literally my name (Guus) with “Code” and a small wink in the domain: guusco.de 😄. Simple, human and clear.

You get direct contact with the developer, short lines, and custom work that remains affordable. No unnecessary layers or vague costs.

GuusCode works fully online, with clients in the Netherlands and beyond. Everything can be arranged via video or chat. An in‑person meeting in the Netherlands is possible if needed.

GuusCode works independently, but has a network of designers, writers and developers to scale up if needed.

Yes, always. GuusCode ensures you can easily change text, images or pages without technical knowledge, if desired through a dashboard.

Yes, the code is entirely yours and you’re not locked in. Hosting with GuusCode is strictly optional.

All sites run via HTTPS, with regular updates and security checks.

GuusCode offers maintenance and support. Small fixes are often handled immediately; for larger projects we agree on SLA or maintenance hours.

That depends on your plan. GuusCode offers flexible maintenance options, from “only when needed” to monthly updates.

No, only if you want two completely separate versions with duplicate content.

Yes—social media is great for visibility, but not for control. Your own site is your online “home base” that you fully own.

A web app is an online application that does more than a regular website—think dashboards, calculators, booking systems, etc.

Yes, the system supports multilingual. English, Dutch, German—anything is possible.

GuusCode builds websites in Dutch and English. Ideal if you have an international audience or want to start multilingual.

We start with a short introduction, discuss your needs, give a price estimate and schedule development. You get updates along the way, and after delivery hosting and maintenance can be arranged if desired.

Certainly. GuusCode helps with optimisation, faster load times, redesign or technical fixes for existing sites if they fit our stack.

Design can be included with the package, but GuusCode doesn’t have an in‑house graphic designer. For branding we collaborate with designers or use your existing style.

A website is mainly informational (like a portfolio or business site). A web app does more, for example login, calculations, form processing, etc.

Yes, everything is built with scalability in mind. Start small, grow along.

Yes, small online stores or integrations with existing systems are possible.

GuusCode builds everything from scratch, but uses modern frameworks (like Next.js) for speed and reliability. No standard template sites unless explicitly requested by the client.

Certainly—one of the most popular services for creators. More beautiful, faster and more personal than Linktree.

No problem. As long as you don’t have a domain yet, development will run on a GuusCode subdomain—for example https://yourname.guusco.de. GuusCode will gladly help you set up a domain and DNS. If desired, it’s possible to host your website long‑term on the guuscoded.it domain. See it as a watermark—this is free.

GuusCode works with modern tools like Next.js, React, TypeScript and Node.js—the technology that large platforms also use, tailored to your project.

Very fast thanks to caching, smart code and optimised images. Google PageSpeed is happy—and so are your visitors.

Yes, technical SEO is included by default—think meta tags, speed, sitemap and structure. You can expand to content SEO later.

Yes, GuusCode can help connect analytics, email domains, basic SEO tools and other integrations.

That depends on what you need. Small sites start around a few hundred euros; larger projects are higher. You always get an upfront price indication—request a quote.

No, usually it’s done in two parts: 50% at the start, 50% upon delivery.

On average 4–8 weeks, depending on size. Smaller projects can be completed within 1–2 weeks.

GuusCode offers rush options depending on complexity. Feel free to contact us to see what’s possible.

Building it yourself seems cheaper but costs time and often results in slow or insecure sites. A professional site pays for itself quickly.

Fast sites keep visitors engaged longer and rank better in Google. Every second counts.

Good technology, strong copy and relevant links. GuusCode helps with the technical part; you can work on content.

A site that automatically adapts to every screen—mobile, tablet or desktop. That’s standard with GuusCode projects.

The domain is your address (guusco.de); hosting is the place where your site actually runs.

On average every 2 to 3 years, depending on trends and technology.

Certainly. Minimalism + good design + speed = professional. More isn’t always better—it depends on what you want to convey and what fits you.

Free sounds nice, but you get ads, limited features and poor SEO. Professional work is an investment in your brand.

Not always. Small sites can go without a CMS, larger content‑heavy sites work better with one (e.g., Sanity, Strapi, etc.).

Yes—that’s the idea. You provide input; GuusCode handles the rest.

Yes. A fast, clear site increases trust and conversion—especially combined with SEO and social media.

Gladly! You know your brand best—GuusCode helps present them beautifully.

We discuss it right away. Adjustments are a normal part of the process. In the end it has to truly be your site. You’re involved throughout development.

Yes—think Google Forms, external APIs, Mailchimp, payment modules, etc.

No problem—the site grows with you. You don’t need to start over.

GuusCode helps you choose based on your goals and budget. We keep it practical and honest.
