Web agency in Haarlem-Schalkwijk

Web design in Haarlem
by an agency around the corner

Smart Design builds websites, webshops and apps for businesses in Haarlem and Kennemerland: custom-made, fast, easy to find in Google and available in Dutch, English and Arabic.

Our office is on Roordastraat in Schalkwijk. So you can simply drop by for a coffee and a first conversation, or we come to your business in the city centre, in Haarlem-Noord or elsewhere in the region.

Personal contact, not a call centre

Many Haarlem business owners have worked with an agency that is far away: you email a change and only hear back a week later. With us, you sit across the table from the people who actually build your website.

We know the city. We know how busy the Grote Markt and Zijlstraat are on a Saturday, that a shop in Schalkwijk attracts different customers than a concept store in the Gierstraat, and that a beach pavilion in Zandvoort is mostly searched by tourists in summer. We use that knowledge when we structure your website.

What that means for you:

  • First meeting at our Schalkwijk office or at your business
  • One fixed point of contact who knows you by name
  • Quick communication by phone, WhatsApp or email
  • Your admin panel explained at the table, not through a manual
  • Contact in Dutch, English or Arabic

Who we build for

Solutions for Haarlem businesses

From a city-centre shop to a tradesman in Heemstede: every sector has different visitors and different goals.

City-centre retail

Around the Grote Markt, Zijlstraat and Kruisstraat, visitors often check opening hours and directions on their phone. We make sure that information is right and that your shop also sells online.

Restaurants and cafés

A menu that reads well on mobile, easy table reservations and online ordering for pick-up or delivery, without paying high commission to an ordering platform.

Salons and beauty

Online booking, treatments with prices on request and a webshop for your care products, all from one admin panel.

Trades and construction

A website showing your projects, a clear service area and a quote form that asks the right questions, so requests from Haarlem and the surrounding area are immediately usable.

Practices and service providers

For clinics, consultants and offices: a trustworthy look, clear explanations of your services and a secure way to receive enquiries.

Webshops and apps

Already selling online or want your own app for customers or staff? We build webshops with Mollie and iDEAL, and apps for iPhone and Android.

Local SEO

Get found in Haarlem and Google Maps

Anyone searching for "hairdresser Haarlem" or "restaurant Zandvoort" first sees a map with three businesses. Competition for those spots in Haarlem is fierce, because many businesses are close together. A good-looking website alone is not enough: Google also needs to understand where you are and what you do.

That is why we build every site with local SEO at its core, and give you practical tips you can apply yourself.

Local SEO tips:

  • Complete your Google Business Profile, with category, photos and up-to-date opening hours
  • Ask happy customers for a review and reply to every review
  • Use the same name, address and phone number on your site and in every listing
  • Mention your neighbourhood or town in titles and copy, for example "Haarlem-Noord" or "Heemstede"
  • Create a separate page for each service or location

We handle the technical side: structured data with your address, fast loading times, a sitemap and submission to Google Search Console.

Keywords with a place name

  • hairdresser Haarlem-Noord
  • restaurant Grote Markt Haarlem
  • plumber Heemstede
  • physiotherapy Schalkwijk
  • beach pavilion Zandvoort
  • webshop design Haarlem
Multilingual

One website, three languages

Haarlem attracts many tourists and day-trippers, and is home to many English-speaking expats and Arabic-speaking entrepreneurs. A website in Dutch, English and Arabic speaks to all of them in their own language.

  • Arabic fully right-to-left
  • Separate Google listing per language (hreflang)
  • Edit texts per language yourself
  • A language switch visitors find instantly

Custom-built

Website, webshop, app or SEO

We do not use a stock theme you share with a hundred other businesses. Every website is custom-built with Laravel and Vue, with its own admin panel where you edit texts, photos, products and opening hours yourself.

As your business grows, the site grows with it: a webshop with iDEAL through Mollie, a booking system, a link to your accounting software or an app for your regular customers.

  • Websites for freelancers, shops and companies
  • Webshops with iDEAL, cards and Klarna through Mollie
  • Apps for iPhone and Android
  • SEO and Google Business Profile
  • Domain name, hosting and email arranged

FAQ

Questions about web design in Haarlem

Yes. Our office is at Roordastraat 47 in Haarlem-Schalkwijk. Just make an appointment so we have time for you. We are also happy to visit your business.

No. We work across Kennemerland and the rest of the Netherlands, and also for clients in Belgium and Germany. Outside the region we mostly collaborate online.

A standard website is usually live within 10 to 20 working days. A webshop or app with custom features takes longer; you get a concrete schedule up front.

Yes. We check that your profile is complete, link it to your website and explain how to collect and reply to reviews. That improves your chances in Google Maps.
