In short
Custom website development at TopDevs means a tailored site in your brand on a fast, modern stack. You get a fixed price up front, no open-ended bill afterwards, and full ownership of the source code. Think multilingual as real structure, booking and payment integrations that feel like part of the site, and top speed for good Core Web Vitals and findability in Google.
What gets in the way
Most websites are slow, hard to maintain and cost more than agreed. We do it differently. You get a custom design that fits your brand, on a stack that loads fast and ranks well in Google. Sometimes that's WordPress, sometimes custom on Astro or a headless CMS, and we're honest about what makes sense in your case. For De Bungelaer we built a three-language hospitality site (NL/EN/DE) where bookings via RoomRaccoon and Zenchef feel like part of the site. For Quantum Life a fast marketing site with heavy visuals. The price is fixed up front and the code is yours. We think along with you: we listen first to what you want to achieve now and where you are heading, then choose the technology to match, for the most scalable and powerful result that is cost-efficient at the same time.
Too slow, so hard to find
A heavy site loaded with plugins sinks in Google and drives visitors away. Speed isn't a nice-to-have, it shapes your ranking and your conversion.
An open-ended bill afterwards
Many agencies charge by the hour and the final price is a surprise. We agree the price up front, so you know exactly where you stand.
Locked into your agency
No access to your own code, no export, and every change runs through them. With us you keep 100% ownership of the code.
Multilingual as a bolt-on plugin translation
A plugin that auto-translates text gives you weak SEO and messy URLs. We build each language as its own structure, with its own navigation, content and metadata.
What we build
How we help
Custom design in your brand
No template that looks like a thousand other sites. We design around your house style, colours and tone, so the site is instantly recognisable as yours.
Multilingual as structure, not a plugin
Each language gets its own navigation, content, URLs and metadata. Offers, events and news you publish yourself in every language, with clean SEO per language.
Booking and payment integrations that feel built-in
Reservations, bookings, subscriptions or payments: we connect the system you use, woven into the design and not a separate tool bolted on the side, whether you rent out rooms, schedule appointments or sell products.
Speed and Core Web Vitals
We build on a light stack and do the performance work so heavy photography stays sharp and fast. Good vitals help your ranking and your conversion.
Manage your own content
Through a headless CMS or WordPress you publish pages, offers and news yourself, without coming back to us for every text change.

Our approach
From idea to working software in four phases
Every project runs through the same four phases, so you always know what's happening, what comes next and what it costs — from first call to live software, usually in weeks rather than months.
- 01 Phase 1 Free intake
Understand & analyse
Everything starts with a good conversation. We map your goals, processes and the bottlenecks worth solving — no sales pitch, just an honest read on where the biggest win sits.
- 02 Phase 2 Free blueprint
Blueprint & quote
We turn the analysis into a blueprint: a clear plan showing exactly which steps we'll take and why, paired with one fixed quote. You know up front precisely what we build, what it costs and when it's done — no open ends, no hourly billing, no surprises afterwards. And getting that blueprint is completely free, no obligation.
- 03 Phase 3 Prototype in days
Build, test & deploy
Then we build, in short iterations. You see a working prototype in days and a finished product in weeks. We work on a modern, AI-native and secure stack — with data protection and GDPR in mind from day one.
- 04 Phase 4 100% your code
Implement & optimise
We launch, hand over the full codebase and keep improving on your terms. You get 100% ownership of the code we write — no lock-in, no licensing games. Hosting and maintenance are optional, never required.
What you always get
Fixed price
Agreed up front, never an open end.
100% code ownership
Your code, fully yours, no lock-in.
Live in weeks
Prototypes in days, finished in weeks.
Modern & secure

Tools & tech
We build on the technology that fits you best. Already working with a certain stack — whether that's .NET, PHP or something else — we simply build on it. Starting fresh? We draw on years of experience to pick the technology that's strongest for your situation. No forced migrations, no tech for tech's sake.

Frequently asked questions
What does custom website development cost?
It depends on the scope: number of pages, languages, integrations and how much custom design is involved. The key difference with many agencies: we agree the price up front, so you don't get an open-ended bill afterwards. In a short call we map the scope and give you a fixed price.
WordPress or custom, which is better?
It depends on your situation and we're honest about it. WordPress is strong if you want to blog a lot yourself and standard functionality is enough. Custom on a stack like Astro or a headless CMS is faster, safer and more flexible when you need your own features, strong findability or heavy visuals. We advise what makes sense for you, not what's easy for us.
How fast will my site be and what about Core Web Vitals?
Speed isn't a side note, it shapes your ranking in Google and your conversion. We build on a light stack and do targeted performance work, even with heavy photography like De Bungelaer or Quantum Life. The goal: green Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) and a site that loads fast on mobile.
Can you build a multilingual website?
Yes, and not with an auto-translate plugin. We build each language as its own structure: its own navigation, content, URLs and metadata. For De Bungelaer that was NL, EN and DE, with the client publishing seasonal offers, events and news in all three languages themselves. That gives clean SEO per language.
Who owns the website after launch?
You do. You keep 100% ownership of the code. No vendor lock-in, no dependence on us for every change. If you want to continue yourself later or move to another party, you can, because everything is yours.
Can you connect bookings and payments?
Yes. Whether you need reservations, room bookings, subscriptions or payments, we connect the system that fits you. For De Bungelaer, for instance, we wove in the room and restaurant reservations as part of the branded site. The difference is in the execution: it feels like part of your site, not a loose widget sitting on top of it.
