Your Web Site

We build reliable and beautiful web sites that empower your visitors. While we design your website tailored to your needs and your identity we make sure that your visitor is at home, feels in charge and can easily get from A to B.

We deliver your web site search engine ready by optimizing as soon as we start building. We equip your web site with features that normally cost you extra. Fully customized or straight out of the box: any web site that we build comes wih generous after sales support.

Mobile devices

All our web sites are responsive. This means that they adapt themselves to the device of your visitor. These websites load fast and are Google friendly, users can navigate with a minimum of scrolling and surf with little use of memory.

As most web site visits are through tablets and smartphones, all our new designs are made mobile first.

If you want your current web site to adapt to the device of your visitor, we can help you out with a minimum of change so you can avoid a full redesign.

Site Systems

ModX CMS

We use ModX to create a rock solid, custom CMS that we can style in any design of your choice.
Our preferred front end for the CMS engine is Bootstrap as it is fast, flexible and designed mobile first.

Wordpress

We do your WordPress site for you. We use clever, sturdy configurations and we customize themes and existing sites.
We also port your site into WP for you

Magento

For Web shops we typically use the best application around. Magento handles very small to very large scale enterprises. If you rather have a lighter application we fall back to Woocommerce on Wordpress

Content Wizardry

Content Optimization

Conversion requires clarity for visitors and search engines. Well written content follows the rules dictated by your target audience and your seo needs. Your content is 'seo okay' and you will not be penalized with low rankings for falling out of line.

Content Management

When you are short on a web master, we can manage the content on your web site. Your pages stay fresh, your visitors remain up to speed and your rankings won't suffer.

Crash Recovery

Things collapse after you moved your site to a new location? Some simple changes and the site behaves bad or stopped working alltogether? It can happen to all of us, we'll get you out of the woods a s a p.

Translation

Your Site from English to Dutch and from Dutch to English. Good translation is not just covering your texts, it also asks for precise changes under the hood that are done with full awareness of your seo agenda.

Our Latest Work


Mandala Pottery


Mandala Pottery

This renowned Indian ceramics studio in Tamil Nadu presented themselves with a cms that was too patched and too complicated for the owners to operate. While being in constant need for costly updates due to security risks users faced compromises in looks and ineffective order procedures.

Abandoning the previous platform altogether, Webcrafts rewrote the entire website into a straight foreward Bootstrap site. The all new web site eliminates substantial recurring costs, is Easy to manage, much more secure and a breeze to update for the Mandala staff.

New features like downloadable catalogs, online ordering and a better product presentation improved effective usage and has created a satisfying user experience for Mandala's clientele.

Chiway Academy


Chiway Academy

Extending our long term relationsship, Chiway upgraded their cms. We made a truly fantastic website where efficiency and effectiveness of information exchange has increased many times over. The back end workload is significantly decreased. New functions that automatically connect and process various types of information allow for much faster content editing and content creation.


The Visitors enjoy an amazing interface with fast and extensive search and retrieve functions. Without reloading pages, any combination of information is quickly obtained. Retrieved information is presented in a highly accessible manner and remains customizable for further refining of given results.

Due to internal changes, Chiway decided to change web site policies; the website I created is now archived right here:

Face lift: Conscious tv


Conscious designs

Ian and Renate McNay invited me to create some changes in the look and feel of their famous web site. What followed was not a full blown redesign but a substantial change of looks and a redo of the navigation/information structure.

Poetry: Anamika Borst


Leaving Wix while maintaining the looks.

Anamika's site promotes her poetry about 'life as it is' while the proceeds of her writing go entirely to charity. The website was built by a friend on the Wix platform but smooth looks and ease of D I Y meant paying for every little extra feature (like a mail box) and lack of self-management. It was time to use a different solution. Now, the complete looks are translated into the renowned bootstrap platform so that her site is easily displayed on any mobile device without loss of it's familiar identity. At the back end, all web site management is handled by a ModX cms. Anamika simply logs in via the website and makes all the desired changes in a truly easy to use, intuitive 'cockpit'.

Donation: Regaining Dignity


Transparency and needs

As a charity for poor and destitute women, the Old Age Home in Pondicherry is in constant need for funds. As their website did not communicate the required transparency for fund raising and did not express the actual needs, a new website was made. As we wanted to address English and Dutch speaking audiences, we created a multilingual website that inherently supports a blog for news, fundraising, reports and articles. The website is an ongoing donation from webcrafts to the foundation of regaining dignity.

What About Us :)

...Well...

Contrary to custom we will not try to convince you to strike a deal with us.
We are in the fortunate position where we see how great products and great service do our sales for us.
Yes, we are good at what we do and we advertise our style, our experience and our expertise but a substantial part of our success came through leaving old school protocols.  We are not at war with our competition and we do not care for tactics to create 'needs'.  

Instead we discovered standards that seemlesly pair with our qualities and our hard work. Think of wholeness, gratitude, trust and care to name a few.  Not idealist beliefs but principles that actually result in success when you apply them to your life and work.  Perhaps they work because they are more apt, more aligned with what people and the world really need.
If this is your cup of tea too, then there's a good chance we can do business together. If it is not, no biggie, just give us a call and discover what we can do for you!

100%

Mobile First

We make all of our products mobile first which is not just about your site being responsive.

More and more, your conversion success hinges on how well you accomodate your mobile visitors. Google for instance, determines a good chunk of your site ranking by it's mobile friendliness.

The new consumers and employees are from a mobile oriented generation. This simple demographic fact (or factor) asks us to rethink our customer experience and to re-map the customer journey for mobile
visitors first.

100%

Authentic Work

What we make has it's own perfume,
it's own fingerprint.

We feel that our originality is an invaluable asset. It is not something we do, it comes in the wake of how we work. We enjoy knowing that it will make you stand out in Google, in your market and for your
individual visitor.

>An authentic web presence can be achieved through even the most simple design and it will always strengthen your branding, free your communication and help you reach your goals.
