Speed is a feature.
A slow site loses customers before they've read a single sentence. So we build light, test on an ordinary phone and actually measure it.
About us
Hi, we're Thijs and Ryan. We give local businesses a website that's every bit as good as the big brands'. Then we keep it in top shape, so you never have to think about it again.

The founders
No account manager, no call centre, no ticket number. The people who build your website are the same people who answer your emails.
Thijs Schumacher
FounderDesign and engineering
“You don't notice a good website. You just notice the phone ringing more often.”
Ryan Goutier
FounderClients and growth
“I want the shop around the corner to look just as strong online as the big chains.”
Our story
The baker who's kneading dough at six in the morning. The hairdresser who remembers how you had it last time. The garage that knows your car better than you do. Local businesses are the heart of the neighbourhood. Yet their websites are often years behind the big brands. We thought that was a shame.
01Why we started
For a long time, a great website was something for companies with a marketing department. Everyone else made do with a site a nephew built once, or a DIY builder that eats your evenings. Evenings you'd rather spend on your business. Or on nothing at all.
We think a website shouldn't be a chore. It should look good, load fast and bring in customers. That's it. So on 1 September 2026, we started Forever in Business.
02What we do differently
We build your website and keep it running afterwards. Hosting, maintenance, updates and improvements are on us, for one fixed monthly fee. And you get one direct line: to us, not to a ticketing system.
Your site goes live within 7 days. And since we're right here in Zoetermeer, we're happy to drop by. Coffee optional.
How we work
One point of contact.
No call centre, no ticket number, no being put on hold. You get Thijs or Ryan, and they already know what it's about.
No small print.
One fixed monthly fee, cancel any month. Whatever we agree on, you can read in normal-sized letters. No catches, no surprises on the invoice.
By the numbers
No made-up client counts or awards. Just numbers we live up to every day.

Local
We're based in Zoetermeer and work with businesses across the region: The Hague, Delft, Leiden and everywhere in between. For us, local isn't a word on a website. It means we can come by.
See your place, get to know who your customers are, then build something that fits. And yes, we'll gladly have that coffee.
Say hello
Book a 30-minute call on Google Meet. We'll look at your current website together and show you what could be better. Rather email first? That works too.
