Where we work

Web Agency for Hasselt-Based Entrepreneurs and SMEs

Espero-Soft builds websites, mobile apps and business software for Hasselt-based entrepreneurs. Our team works from Brussels and comes to you for the meetings that matter, an hour away on the E314.

Our offices: Brussels (Molenbeek-Saint-Jean) and Lille. We travel to you for scoping and key project milestones.

What Hasselt-based entrepreneurs ask of a website

Hasselt is the capital of Limburg: the provincial government, the courts and the sector federations sit here, and with them a whole layer of lawyers, accountants and consultancies. The city has also lived on fashion and retail for decades. The stores around the Demerstraat pull shoppers from across the north-east of the country, and many of them are still family businesses. Their websites have to carry that personal touch.

On the old Philips site, Corda Campus has grown into one of Belgium's largest technology campuses, where start-ups, scale-ups and the IT departments of established groups work side by side. These two worlds ask for very different things: a fashion retailer wants a shop that actually sells, while a software firm on Corda wants a client portal that plugs into what it already runs. We work with both, without pretending it is the same project.

For Hasselt-based entrepreneurs, language matters as much as design, especially once you sell across the language border or abroad. In addition, the legal basics come as standard: your enterprise number in the legal notice and GDPR-compliant cookies.

How we work with Hasselt-based entrepreneurs

To be straight about it: we have no office in the city. Our team sits on Rue de la Colonne in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean (Brussels) and in Lille. The drive takes about an hour on the E314, or 1h15 by direct IC train from Brussels. That is close enough for us to come to you for the kick-off workshop, the design sign-off and the final check before launch.

We follow day-to-day work remotely, with short demos, so you watch the product move rather than read a status report. On a local project, Dutch is the main version of the site, not a translation bolted on afterwards; French and English come in when your market asks for them. Each demo ends with a clear list of next steps.

The first meeting and the quote are free, and the quote goes out within 24 hours. We then deliver in stages, so Hasselt-based entrepreneurs can test each part before the full launch.

Frequently asked questions

Your team works from Brussels. How do you run a project in Hasselt?

We come over for the meetings where being in the room actually changes the outcome: the kick-off workshop at your premises, the design approval and the final review before we go live. That is an hour on the E314 and we do not bill travel for it. In between, we follow the work remotely with regular demos, so you never have to wait until the end to see where the project stands.

Do you build the site in Dutch, or translate it afterwards?

We build it in Dutch from the start. Someone who speaks the language writes and proofreads the copy, navigation, forms and admin area. If you also want French or English (which makes sense if you sell towards Liège or abroad), we build those versions into the site with correct hreflang tags, not with an automatic translation button.

What does a website cost for a Hasselt SME?

Our showcase site starts at €29/month all-in on a 24-month term, or €49/month on 12: build, hosting, domain name and maintenance. At €59/month over 24 months, or €79/month over 12, you also get a blog, advanced SEO, multiple languages and an admin area. An online shop, a client portal or custom software starts at €99/month over 12 months, or at €79/month over 24, and the free 24-hour quote settles the exact figure.
