BUILT IN EUPEN.
Lacønis is based at Rotenberg in Eupen. From here I design, build and run websites, first for businesses from the town, then for everyone else.
One person, one address.
No agency, no team, no ticket system. Anyone who needs a website in Eupen talks to me, and I am the one who designs it, builds it and is on the phone afterwards. We have the first conversation at your business, at my place at Rotenberg or by video, whichever you prefer.
After that almost everything happens by phone and in the browser. You see every stage on your own device, and if something comes up, you call.
Short distances.
The first conversation takes an hour or two. I ask a lot, you tell me what your site cannot do today. I work out the budget range during the conversation, you have the quote the same day or the next, one number, not ten.
Then I design directly in the browser. You see the real thing early, on your own device, and tell me what you do not like. Two to eight weeks later the site is online, depending on scope. For the handover we sit together for an hour, after that you maintain it yourself.

Having a website built: what an Eupen business needs
Three things that make the difference in this town. All three are built in with me, not bolted on.
Two languages from the start
The customers come from Verviers, Liège and Aachen. Your site has to be found in German and French, with its own address per language and pages that know each other. You add the language, have it translated, read it through and approve.
A Google profile that matches the site
Anyone looking for a tradesperson in Eupen sees the map first. Name, address and hours have to say the same thing on the site and on the Google profile. During the build I set up both together, so Google reads you as one business.
Lightweight on the phone
Most visitors arrive on a phone, often on the move. Every site here is built for that: little weight, no cookie banner, no waiting. That is the difference Google measures and the visitor feels.
Eupen speaks two languages.
The town is German-speaking, the customers come from Verviers, Liège and Aachen. An Eupen website that is only found in German loses the French-speaking enquiries before they arise. That is why French is not an extra with me: you add the language, have it translated, read it through and approve.
More on that, and why distance is not a criterion, on the East Belgium page.
Questions from Eupen
The five that come first in this town. All the others are under FAQ.
There is no price list, because no two businesses need the same thing. The amount depends on pages, languages, a shop, and how much of the texts and photos I take on. I work out the range in the first conversation, the quote arrives the same day or the next. The first conversation is free.
Yes. In Eupen I come to your business, or you come to me at Rotenberg. By video works too. After that almost everything happens by phone and in the browser.
Two to eight weeks from the first conversation to going live, depending on pages, languages and features. What slows things down most often are texts and photos that have to come from the business. That is why I take on both, if you want.
In Eupen, yes. The town is German-speaking and the customers come from the French-speaking surroundings. Both are built in and need no licence: you add the language, have it translated, read it through and approve.
The content, yes, completely: texts, images, products, addresses. The site itself I rebuild, and the domain and email addresses move along, in your name. You notice nothing, except that in the end everything works.
In the neighbourhood.
- Website in Raeren: customers from both sides of the borderRaeren sits on the motorway to Aachen, with customers from Germany who cross the border to shop. What a website has to do there.
- Website in Lontzen: German and French, every dayLontzen, Herbesthal and Walhorn lie between Eupen, Kelmis and Welkenraedt, with businesses along the motorway and customers in two languages. What a website has to do there.
- Website in Kelmis: three languages at the counterKelmis sits where three countries meet, with customers from Aachen, Vaals and Liège. Three languages are no luxury there, they are everyday life at the counter.
- Website in Aachen: ranking ahead of the twenty othersAachen is big, and on Google it is crowded. What a website has to do there, and what a business from East Belgium does differently.
The first conversation is free, in Eupen so is the trip.
