Het echte probleem

Your business grows. Your tools don’t.

Plugins and standard SaaS are made for everyone, so for no one exactly. The further you grow, the more you work around your software instead of with it.

Plugin upon plugin

Every new need becomes another plugin or app. They don’t talk to each other, and every update breaks something.

What we build: one system that does what you need, maintained by a dedicated team.

SaaS that almost fits

You pay per user for features you don’t use, and what you do need isn’t there. Your process bends to the software, not the other way round.

What we build: software around the way you work, in your name, with no per-user license.

Handwerk stapelt zich op

You retype data between systems and make invoices and schedules by hand, because your tools don’t talk to each other.

What we build: integrations and automations that do the work day and night.

In practice: Curve Rebels

A fashion brand for sizes 42 to 54 lost hours entering products, and during TikTok lives customers could not check out by themselves. It got a custom webshop with its own stock system and a claim page, so customers check out themselves during a live. No standard solution to work around.

People and AI, in one team

Human experts combined with AI.

You have a business that runs. AI does the work that takes time, human experts do the work that matters. You pay a fixed price and get the best of both.

Human experts

The work a human does better: thinking, choosing and checking.

  • Strategy, positioning and brand
  • Every choice and every result checked
  • A support team, reply within 24 hours
  • Ultimately responsible for everything that goes live

AI

The work that takes a lot of time, at a pace no human can match.

  • Copy, images and videos at scale
  • Testing and adjusting ads and posts
  • Automations that run day and night
  • Analysing what works every week
Custom website

A website that turns visitors into customers

A website that is not only beautiful but also remarkably smart. You tell what you sell, the rest is built for you: the site, the copy and the visuals. Visitors understand within seconds what you offer and know right away what the next step is. You never have to touch code.

  • Design in your brand style, on your own domain
  • Custom visuals, no stock photos
  • Your own SEO specialist: every website is delivered with SEO
Your brand Your offer, clearly told Book an appointment

Funnels and checkout pages that earn more

A web developer stops at delivery. Here the thinking goes all the way to the sale: a funnel that takes your visitor along step by step, a checkout page where people add something extra, and a notification on your phone the moment a sale comes in.

Automations

Everything that is manual work now runs by itself.

Following up inquiries, sending invoices, confirming appointments. A computer can do that just fine. Workflows take over, the loose reminders and emails disappear and you have time left for your customers.

  • Implemented directly, no course needed
  • Connections with the tools you already use
  • Follow along in your own client portal

Social media

Social media that runs itself.

Your socials get automated, from idea to publishing. Every week a schedule full of posts in your style, with a tone that sounds the way you talk. You approve, the rest happens by itself.

  • Posts, images and short videos for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and LinkedIn
  • Written by humans, no robot talk
  • Automatically scheduled and posted on your channels
  • A monthly report on what works
Advertising · Beta

Meta Ads, Google Ads and AI Ads. It gets taken care of.

Your campaigns are set up, ads tested and adjusted every week on revenue, not on clicks. One dashboard shows what every euro brings in. You pay your ad budget directly to Meta or Google. On top of that there is a fixed service fee plus a small percentage of the revenue it generates. If it brings in nothing, that percentage is zero too.

  • Campaigns, ads and tracking set up
  • Adjusted weekly on ROI, CPA and ROAS
  • Your ad budget stays yours, paid directly to Meta or Google
AI for your business

AI moves at lightning speed. You do not have to keep up.

Developments in AI follow each other at lightning speed. You don't have to keep up with them or build them in yourself: that is done for you, explained without jargon. AI is used every day and only what is proven to work gets deployed.

  • New AI tools tested before you need them
  • Built in directly, without you having to learn anything
  • Applied in practice every day

Client portal

One place for the overview of your whole business.

Visitors, inquiries, revenue and the progress of your project. Everything in your own portal, visible anytime, anywhere. No more loose emails.

Your project
Build & automationStep 4 of 5
Portal and app included

Your project in your pocket.

As soon as you get started, you get your own portal and an app. There you see where the project stands, what is done and what is still needed from you. So no emails back and forth and nobody asking at 10:40 pm how things are going.

It is included with every project and keeps working after delivery. Invoices, files and questions to the support team are in there too. You do not have to install or understand anything.

Branding

A brand your customers remember

A beautiful website on a vague brand is a shop without a name above the door. Your logo, your colors, your fonts and your tone are built and carried through your site, your funnels, your email and your portal. One recognizable style that builds trust, the same everywhere.

  • Logo and brand identity, custom
  • Colors, fonts and tone of voice
  • Carried through your site, funnel, email and portal
Security

Building with AI yourself is fast. So is a leak.

AI writes code that works, not code that is secure. You only notice when it goes wrong. And then your customers' data is out in the open, with your name underneath.

Built with AI yourself
  • Passwords and keys are exposed in the code
  • Forms with no control over what gets submitted
  • No updates, no backups, nobody keeping watch
Built by experts
  • Input checked, passwords stored securely
  • Access by role, in your client portal too
  • Updates, monitoring and recovery are part of your service package

A business that keeps running, even when you are not there.

Services, products or subscriptions: a system gets built that sells, follows up and reports. You simply get on with your customers.

Sophie de VriesScaling her coaching practice into a team of 4

I was stuck inside my own business. I did everything myself and it held back growth. The DBA portal really gave me my life back. I have to be honest: when we started as a beta customer, the dashboard was not entirely intuitive for me yet. I did not understand certain statuses. But instead of a standard email, Matteo simply called me. We went through it together, he adjusted the interface a little based on my feedback, and now? Now I easily save 10 hours a week. That combination of smart software and someone who genuinely thinks along is worth its weight in gold.

Let us be honest, implementing new software while you see clients every day is stressful. We needed a smart booking system for the whole team. During the beta phase, the sync with our old calendar froze once on a Monday morning. Panic? No. Within two minutes the DBA team was in the WhatsApp group and stayed on the line until it was solved, even after office hours. The system now runs like clockwork, but it is that human service behind the scenes that really convinced me to carry on.

Emma BakkerOwner of a fast-growing lifestyle e-brand

We were growing faster than expected and our old webshop simply could not keep up any more. The DBA built our new shop. The admin portal finally makes sense to me as a non-techie. Of course, because we were one of the first customers, there was a small bug in the payment confirmation early on. Annoying, certainly. But how they solved it made up for everything: full transparency, a direct fix within an hour and a personal check-in the next day. That is what I call partnership.

A rebrand is not just a new logo, it means changing your whole identity. I wanted it to feel professional. In the DBA portal I could follow all assets and progress, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. At first I found the communication via the portal a bit distant, I missed the human touch. I said so straight away. From that moment we also had a short weekly call alongside the updates in the portal. That flexibility and listening ear mean I am now incredibly proud of our new face.

Sanne MulderB2B service provider who has raised her rates and wants to come across as more professional

I have no time for hassle. I just want it to work and look good for my clients. The service website DBA built for me does exactly that. The portal is clear. During the beta phase there were a few outdated text blocks in my approval screen. I sent a short message and it was corrected that same afternoon. No fuss, no excuses, just fixed. That no-nonsense attitude suits me perfectly.

I always found outsourcing social media scary. You are afraid they will not get your voice. The content approval system in the DBA portal is a real invention, I can review everything calmly on my phone. The first few posts they delivered during the test phase missed that bit of 'Bram'. I was honest about that. Instead of getting defensive, they took the time to spend an hour on the phone about my vision. Since then they hit the mark every time. They are not just a supplier, they feel like part of my team.
