What I sell today, I first built for myself.
What I do
Three crafts, one person doing all three. Nobody passes the ball between the design, the code and the launch.
Design.
Turning a business into user journeys, a site structure and screens. Asking the right questions before drawing, and drawing before coding. It's the part most projects skip, and the most expensive one to fix afterwards.
Build.
Fast websites and complete business applications, from the data model to the interface. I take the project end to end: design, development, launch, handover to your team.
Automate.
Connecting your tools to each other and making the tasks that come back every day disappear. Request handling, data entry, follow-ups, reporting.
How I work
Understand.
We start with a free twenty-five-minute call. If the project makes sense, we move to a paid scoping phase: I look at your business, your tools and your goals, and hand you a written scope with a fixed price. You can walk away with that document and have it built elsewhere. It has happened.
Build.
You sign off at every step: structure, copy, design, then development. You watch the project progress on a staging link, not in a weekly report. I never invoice an overrun I haven't flagged before producing it.
Continue.
After launch, your team is trained and the code is yours. You can keep me on for what comes next or take it from here. Either works for me.
The limits A company is defined by what it doesn't do.
For me, that means:
Subcontracting.
The code you receive is written by the person you're talking to. If a project needs extra hands, I tell you, and you know who is involved.
Starting without a scoping document.
A project launched on a verbal brief ends in a disagreement about scope. Scoping protects both sides, yours as much as mine.
WordPress and the other granddad CMSs.
Plugins to maintain, updates that break the layout, and pages that take several seconds to open. I build with Astro: nothing to update every month, a load time under one second, and code that belongs to you.
Selling you things you don't need.
A brochure site doesn't need an application framework. A business application doesn't need AI to work. I'll tell you when you don't need what you came for.
What it looks like once it's live

Sébastien is always attentive and understood our needs perfectly when it came to redesigning our website! The new site looks great and was delivered on time. We've already gained a few customers thanks to the improved SEO of the new site

The new website much better reflects who we are. It tells our story more clearly, it's easy to navigate, it looks fresh and modern. It is more Nallian.

Freelancer, agency or online platform?
All three have their use. The table also says when I'm not the right choice.
| Freelance developer | Web agency | Online platform | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Budget for a brochure site | €3,500 to €7,000 | €8,000 to €25,000 | €500 to €2,000 |
| Who you talk to | The person who codes, from first call to launch | A salesperson, then a project manager, then a developer | A chat widget and a help centre |
| Time to a decision | Reply within 24 h, decision on the call | Committee, then a quote in 1 to 3 weeks | Immediate |
| Custom work | Design and code written for your business | Custom, depending on budget | A template to fill in |
| High volume, several crafts in parallel | My limit: two projects at a time | This is where the agency wins | Not applicable |
| Ownership of code and accounts | Yours from day one | Depends on the contract | You rent, you don't own |

The questions people don't dare ask a freelancer
Including the ones whose answer isn't flattering.
What happens if you fall ill in the middle of the project?
The schedule slips by the length of my absence, and I tell you the same day. On critical projects I work with two independent developers who know my code and can take over. I tell you during scoping whether your project falls into that category.
How many clients do you handle at the same time?
Two development projects in parallel, maximum. That is why there is sometimes a wait before I can start, and it is also why you get an answer within twenty-four hours when you write to me.
What is your current lead time?
The next possible start is the week of 14 September. Until then, the twenty-five-minute call and the scoping phase can still happen: that is exactly the moment to do them, so development starts on a scope that is already written.
Who takes over the code if we stop working together?
You own the repository and the hosting from day one. The code uses mainstream technologies and it is documented. Any developer can pick it up, and I run the handover if you ask for it.
Why a freelancer rather than a web agency in Brussels?
For three measurable reasons: you talk to the person who codes, the decision happens on the call instead of in a committee, and the budget for a brochure site sits around €3,500 to €7,000 instead of €8,000 to €25,000.
The agency is still the right call in three cases: a high volume to produce in parallel, a need for several crafts at once (media campaign, video production, development), or an internal requirement to contract with a company of a certain size. If you are in one of those cases, I will say so during the call.
Do you work with companies outside Brussels?
Yes, anywhere in Belgium and remotely elsewhere. The first meeting is on video in every case.
Do you bill by the day or by the project?
By the project, at a fixed price set after scoping: you know the amount before the first line of code is written. Day rates (€700 per day) remain possible for long engagements at a client who already has a team.
What happens if the project goes beyond the agreed scope?
I flag the overrun before producing it, with what it costs and what it delays. You decide. I don't invoice an overrun you discover on the invoice.
The simplest thing is to talk.
Twenty-five minutes, on video, with no preparation on your side. You tell me what you want to build, I tell you whether it's feasible, at what price and in what timeframe.
If it isn't for me, I'll point you elsewhere.
