Hoogstraten

Web design and marketing for businesses in Hoogstraten

Hoogstraten lives on horticulture, trade and a shopping centre that draws customers from the Netherlands. So two markets, with different habits. A site that takes that into account gets more out of it than a site written only for the local municipality.

Twenty minutes from Weelde. Also a good fit for businesses that sell on both sides of the border.

In short

  • Twenty minutes from Weelde
  • Websites from €2,250 excl. VAT
  • Hourly rate €95 excl. VAT
  • Copy and ads for the Belgian and the Dutch market
The area

Two markets a stone's throw apart

In Hoogstraten, horticulture, wholesale, construction, retail and hospitality sit close together, and a good share of the customers come from the Netherlands. That calls for something other than a standard site: different keywords, different expectations around prices and delivery, sometimes a separate page per market.

For businesses selling to Dutch companies, the VAT rules come into it too. Spell that out clearly on your site and you get fewer questions and faster decisions.

  • Dutch customers search with different words than Belgian ones, even in Dutch
  • A separate page per market works better than a site that tries to serve both
  • State clearly whether your prices include or exclude VAT; it saves emails
  • For cross-border B2B, reverse-charged VAT is the difference between a quote that goes smoothly and one that gets stuck

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can you aim my site at Dutch customers too?

Yes. That's more than a translation: different keywords, different examples and clarity about VAT and delivery.

Do you work for horticultural businesses?

Yes. That's usually about B2B: a clear site, good product pages and an enquiry process that moves quickly.

Do you also run ads aimed at the Netherlands?

We can. Campaigns then run separately per country, with their own copy and their own budget, so you see what each market brings in.

Fancy sitting down together?

Half an hour in Hoogstraten. We look at which market brings in the most and what that takes.
