Build a website
You have a website built for a reason. Generating more leads, selling online, providing a clear overview of your products or services, improving the brand experience… whatever your reason for a new website, I would love to build a website for you that perfectly aligns with your goals and wishes.

A website by Bob…
-
Is built in WordPress, the CMS that powers 43% of all websites
-
Works great on tablet and smartphones too due to responsive design
-
Is fully tailored to your wishes, no standard template
-
Webshop, member area, calendar and more possible
-
I can also take care of all your texts and images
Project: DjHuren.nl
This site marks the start of my website journey back in 2003. I’m a professional DJ as well, and I built my own website to showcase and sell my services.
Even though I’ve rebuilt the entire website several times already, the fundament is still the same. DjHuren.nl is a prime example of a great lead generation website and generates hundreds of inquiries per year.
Various DJ show packages are offered on this site, which are added as WooCommerce products.
I also used custom post types for things like venues, dj’s and reviews – all with their own properties and automatically generated overview pages.
How much will my investment be?
A good website is an investment in your business that pays for itself — often many times over. But of course, you want to know what that initial investment will be.
As you can see on the right, the cost depends on several factors, but on average, it ranges between €2500 and €9500.
Schedule a free discovery callWhat factors determine the price?
-
The features you want: A webshop, membership site, or directory costs more than a simple brochure-style website.
-
What you handle yourself versus what you leave to me: Tasks like writing content and creating images take a lot of time (yes, even if you generate them with AI), but they are also the most important part of your website. Having me take care of these increases the cost, but usually also increases the value your website delivers.
-
The number of pages you want me to create: You can add as many pages as you like yourself, but pages created by me are generally of higher quality.
-
The same applies to products or services, custom posts, blog posts, news items, and so on.
Project: BMI Mergers
BMI Mergers has multiple offices throughout the USA and helps business acquire or sell their company.
I used custom post types to showcase their services, the industries they specialize in, their current engagements and past transactions.
There’s also a related custom post type for team members, so the right team members are shown on different pages.
Who is Bob The Web Builder?
Bob the Web Builder is a Dutch website expert who’s real name is Marcel Melis. But Marcel The Web Builder is much harder to remember (and a lot less fun) than Bob The Web Builder 😀
I built my first website back in 2003, and over time I learned quite a lot about everything related to websites. I love to use all that knowledge to build a great website for you, or improve your excisting website.

Project: AE Connected
AE Connected sells mobile internet solutions with 2 products: routers and SIM cards. For this, Bob used related custom post types so that the correct SIM cards can be linked to the correct routers.
Customers can find the right product for their situation on the website using extensive filters, or use an interactive advice tool on the homepage built with a multi-step form.
Bob’s TOP Website
Do you want a website that really delivers results?
Then Bob’s TOP Website is an excellent investment!
If you choose Bob’s TOP Website, I’ll not only take care of the website itself, but also of all the text and images.
First, we’ll plan a video meeting during which we will go through all the steps outlined in this article together so that I get a clear picture of your company/organization, your wishes, goals, ideal customers, and so on.
I don’t just want to know everything about your company; I also conduct extensive research into your competitors, your market, and which search terms your customers use when looking for your service or product. Everything I need to make it truly a TOP website!

We plan a video meeting so I’ll learn everything there is to know about your business or organisation.

We look at websites that appeal to you together, so I know what you want in terms of color scheme, look, layout, functionality, etc.

I build and maintain your entire website for you.
Project: BDA Dak en gevel opleidingen
BDA provides on-site training courses and wanted to sell them via their website. Each course has a number of fixed attributes, such as the price, the duration of the course, the level, and the type of course.
Most courses are held over multiple days and have a limited number of spots. If a specific date is full, it can no longer be reserved.
To achieve this, Bob added a custom post type for the courses, with custom fields for the attributes. The course dates were added as WooCommerce products, so we were able to utilize inventory management for the limited number of spots and allow direct checkout upon reservation.
What does the process look like?
-
First, I’ll ask you to read this article and put the steps into a Word document so I can get a clear understanding of your needs and goals (except for Bob’s TOP website — in that case, we’ll do this together).
-
We then schedule a discovery call to go through everything in detail.
-
After that, you’ll receive a detailed proposal outlining exactly what is – and isn’t – included, along with a timeline.
-
Once you approve the proposal, a 50% upfront payment is required and I’ll get started.
-
While many web builders work with multiple phases like wireframing, design, and then finally development, I build directly in the page builder. This eliminates unnecessary steps (and the costs that go with it) and allows you to see the final result right away.
-
I’ll set up a development site where you can follow the progress live. I’ll also regularly ask for your feedback and approval.
-
Once everything is completed, you pay the remaining 50% and I’ll launch the website.
Tech Talk
-
In most cases, I build websites using Greenlight, the pro version of Greenshift. That’s an add-on for the standard Gutenberg WordPress page builder.
-
If you have a strong preference for another builder such as Divi, Elementor, Bricks, or Etch, I can use that too.
-
Wherever possible, I work with classes, variables, and synced patterns. That might not mean much to you, but it ensures your website is easy to maintain, update, and scale over time.
-
The code is high quality, which means your website is optimized for both Google and users with accessibility needs.
-
Websites built with Greenlight are also lighting fast.
-
This website was built using the same technique.
Project: Viip
ViiP is a network of women working at an academic level in the Dutch pension sector. Their new website needed a feminine yet professional look that fits well with their new corporate identity.
In addition to an calendar with upcoming activities, there is also a private members’ area with a member list and vacancies. This information is therefore only visible to logged-in users; if you are not logged in, you will only see a login screen.
Custom post types were used for both the vacancies and the member list, allowing the member list to be filtered by various properties.

We’re looking back on a very productive year with Bob The Web Builder. He developed 3 WordPress websites for our company, which really improved our online appearance. Bob did an excellent job teaching us how WordPress works and made it easy to get new content online. Great job Marcel, we’re really happy!

Gosh, I’m just a bit speechless. It turned out so incredibly beautiful. And what makes it extra special is that this is pretty much how I envisioned it. It really makes me very happy. For a long time, I didn’t enjoy visiting my website, but now it is so well-organized and stylish. Really well done. Thank you so much so far. What a beautiful site you’ve created again!

Marcel, Bob The Web Builder, has been my go-to guy for all my website related questions for a few years now. He always replies really fast and his rates are quite affordable. There has been no issue he couldn’t solve yet, and thanks to his explanation and help I’m getting better in WordPress myself as well. Top notch developer, and a great human being to work with.
