For agencies with more ambition than capacity.

Web agencies

You're selling more sites than your team can build. I'll take the small jobs off your hands, or the tricky ones nobody wants to touch.

Marketing agencies

Your client wants a new website and you don't do web. You sell it, I build it.

Agencies that are hiring

You're looking for a developer, but the work won't wait for HR. I'll fill in until the seat is taken.

I build websites for agencies, under their name. 160 originals and counting, and loads of them have someone else's name on them. Tough gig for a man who loves to brag.

What you're used to from freelancers. And how I do it instead.

Independent enough to save you work. Involved enough to ask questions.

You end up chasing themI tell you where I'm at before you ask
A reply tomorrow, if you're luckyA reply within a few hours
It looks nothing like the designI build what's designed, or I design it myself
They quietly hand it to someone elseI build everything myself
Your client sees their name on itYour name, your hosting, an NDA if you like

You keep the client. I keep my mouth shut.

I build on your hosting or your client's, under your name. If I do need to talk to your client, I do it as one of your team. Once the project's done, I was never there.

Your client always has the final say on the design. I will tell you honestly what a site needs to sell, though. That advice is on the house.

“So how do you work?”

A wise man once said: he who pays the piper calls the tune. So I work the way you want, or the way your client wants. Want it built in Divi? No problem. Elementor or custom code? Also fine. Your hosting, your plugins, your way of working. And if your client needs to edit things later, you get a manual you can forward straight to them. With your name on it, naturally.

How a project runs. No nonsense.

You send the brief

A Figma file with copy, or just a profile of your client.

You know the price

A quote tighter than a cyclist's Lycra. A percentage of your quote or a fixed fee, agreed up front.

I build

Price approved? I'm off like a rocket on New Year's Eve. On your hosting, and you follow along on a staging site.

Feedback

From you and from your client. Replies within a few hours.

You deliver

Under your name. I was never there.

Short staffed? I'm your man until the vacancy is filled.

I'm always up for work, the lights have to stay on here too. So I step in remotely, freelance and under your agency's name. Or you send over a whole project and I take it from A to Z, with feedback from you and your client.

Per dayCovering a spike or hitting a deadline
Per week or per monthFilling a seat on your team until the hire is done
Per projectYou hand it over, I finish it from A to Z

The harder, the better.

I'm a bit of a complicated man myself. Almost anyone can build a website. A price calculator that actually calculates, a booking planner hooked up to a calendar or a tool that measures a roof: that's a different story. That's where I get excited. Is your team stuck on something technical? Send it over.

I work in WordPress with Elementor or Divi, and write custom code when a builder gets too heavy. Every site I build is set up to rank high in Google and get mentioned in ChatGPT and Perplexity.

AI is my intern. Fast, never off sick, and never moans about the boss.

I used to hire freelancers. Now AI does that work: faster, never off sick and it never asks for a raise. But you don't leave an intern unsupervised, do you? I decide what gets built, I read every line of code and I test until everything works and is secure. All your client notices is how fast it goes. And if something does go wrong? Don't blame the intern. Blame me.

Silvio De Maeyer

About me, in bullet points. Because nobody reads this bit anyway.

I work behind the scenes, so this is a rare bit about me. I'm Silvio, a freelance web designer for creative and marketing agencies. I work on your clients' websites, under your name. The end client usually sees my work long before they see my face.

  • Born in 2001, at a very young age
  • Quit school to start a business. Read: no degree. Plenty of experience for a 25 year old, though
  • Gave up football due to a chronic lack of talent and two left feet
  • Half Dutch, far too tall and far too direct. Handy if you want an honest answer. Or something off the top shelf
  • Worked with big companies and local businesses in all sorts of sectors. From universities to sex toy shops. No, that's not a joke
  • Turned “that could be better” into a career
  • Everything runs on wheels. Preferably two: I race my bike a lot, and I race to win. Same goes for projects
  • Once jumped out of a plane in Peru. Not a professional fact, but I did warn you I like to brag

The questions you're asking yourself right now.

Are you all there?

No.

When can you start?

Soon. Price approved and the contract signed? I'm off like a rocket on New Year's Eve. You won't have to nudge me three times.

Right, how much?

Straight to the money. Fair enough. We agree it per job, up front: a percentage of your quote or a fixed fee. No surprises for either of us. The more you supply yourself, the smaller my share.

How does invoicing work?

We agree everything up front and I send you a short contract. Once it's back signed, I start. Are you and your client happy, revisions done and the site live? Only then do I send my invoice.

Will my client know you built it?

Only if you want them to. Otherwise I was never there.

Do you use subcontractors?

No. I build everything myself.

How many projects do you take on at once?

As many as fit. Other people watch Netflix in the evening, I build websites. My work is my fun, so an extra project isn't a burden. It's a gift.

What if something breaks after launch?

Then we sort it. I stay responsible for my work for six months after delivery. But usually nothing breaks.

Who owns the site afterwards?

You do, or your client. Your call. As soon as my invoice is paid, it's yours to arrange however you like. I'm not a politician, so I've got nothing to hide.

Where do you work?

Remotely, for agencies across Belgium. The Netherlands works too, I'm half Dutch anyway. And working in English is no problem at all.

You made it this far. Fancy a chat?

We don't have to get married straight away. One project is fine.

Go on, book it in

You won't regret it.(I told my other half the same thing once.)
