Smart Design builds websites and webshops for businesses in Zaandam, Koog aan de Zaan, Wormerveer, Krommenie and Assendelft: custom-made, fast, easy to find in Google and available in Dutch, English and Arabic.
Our office is in Haarlem, a short distance from the Zaan region. So we come to your business on the Gedempte Gracht, in Inverdan or on your business park, or you visit us.
The Zaan region is one of the oldest industrial areas in the Netherlands. Factories for cocoa and food products still line the river Zaan, and business parks such as Hoogtij and the area along the A8 are home to construction firms, installers, logistics and wholesale. At the same time, Zaandam’s centre has been thoroughly renewed around Inverdan and the station, and the Zaanse Schans draws visitors from all over the world.
You see that mix in local businesses. A contractor from Zaandam wants enquiries from the whole region, a shop on the Gedempte Gracht wants local residents to find it, and a business near the Zaanse Schans wants to reach tourists in English. Zaanstad also has a diverse business community, with many entrepreneurs who speak Arabic, Turkish or another language. A website that fits your customers starts with the question of who those customers are.
What we focus on:
Smart Design · for Zaanstad
Office: Roordastraat 47, Haarlem Meetings at your place in the Zaan region, at our office or online.
From contractor to a shop on the Gedempte Gracht: every sector has different customers and different goals.
Clients want to see what you have built. A site with projects per category, before-and-after photos and a quote request with measurements and timing brings in enquiries you can actually work with.
Plumbers, electricians, painters and roofers are often searched for urgently. Your phone number, service area and reviews must then be visible straight away on mobile.
For companies on the Zaan business parks: a B2B webshop with customer accounts, an ordering portal or a link to your stock and accounting.
Around the Gedempte Gracht, the Rozengracht and in the neighbourhoods: up-to-date opening hours, a menu that reads well on mobile and online ordering without high commission.
For B&Bs, tours, shops and places to eat: a site in Dutch and English, with booking requests and photos that convince international visitors.
Hairdressers, barbers, beauty salons and practices: online booking, an overview of your treatments and a trustworthy look, in one or more languages.
The Zaan region has many construction firms, contractors and installers. For them, a website is not a business card but the place where new jobs come in. A good example is Bouwgroep Alrefai, a contractor from Zaandam for whom we built a website with services, projects and a clear contact route.
We know which questions a quote form should ask, how to show projects so a client gains confidence, and how to get found in Google for each service. You manage everything yourself: adding new projects and photos takes a few minutes.
What a construction site needs:
Pages of a construction site
Zaanstad consists of several towns, and customers often search by their own town: "contractor Assendelft" or "hairdresser Krommenie". You also compete with Amsterdam companies that work in the Zaan region too. To rank at the top, Google needs to understand exactly where you are and which places you serve.
We build every site with local SEO at its core: fast loading, structured data with your address, a clean sitemap and, where it makes sense, a page per service or town. We also help you make your Google Business Profile complete and up to date.
Our team speaks Arabic as a native language. If you are an Arabic-speaking entrepreneur in Zaanstad, we simply talk in Arabic, and your site can be in Dutch for your customers and in Arabic for your own network.
From Haarlem we reach the Zaan region quickly. We simply schedule a meeting on location, and small questions are handled by phone or WhatsApp.
We do not use a stock theme. Every website is custom-built with Laravel and Vue, with its own admin panel where you edit texts, photos, projects and products yourself.
If you sell online, we build a webshop with iDEAL through Mollie, pick-up or delivery, and clear order management. And as your business grows, we extend it with a customer portal, a link to your accounting or an app for iPhone and Android.
