Web & IT Agency in Brussels: Sites and Apps | Espero-Soft

Espero-Soft Informatiques SRL

The local business fabric

Ostend still lives off the sea, but no longer in the old way. The port has become the home base of Belgium's offshore wind sector: maintenance vessels, assembly firms and suppliers set out from here to the wind farms offshore — an economy of contracts, schedules and specialised crews. Around GreenBridge and the Ostend Science Park sit research and young companies in the blue economy and sustainable technology; Plassendale forms the industrial hinterland; and Ostend-Bruges airport runs mainly on freight. Alongside all of that, the city remains a seaside resort: hotels, restaurants, holiday rentals and attractions whose revenue is made in a few summer weeks and long weekends. Those two rhythms call for different digital choices — a booking system that absorbs a summer peak is nothing like a client portal for an offshore supplier — and we build both.

How we work here

Plainly put: we have no office on the coast. Our team works out of Brussels (Rue de la Colonne, Molenbeek-Saint-Jean) and Lille. Ostend is about 1h15 by car on the E40, or a little over an hour by direct IC train from Brussels — far enough that we will not pretend to be round the corner, close enough to come in for the kick-off workshop, the design sign-off and the final check before launch. For a hospitality business or a holiday rental we prefer to place those meetings outside the season, so the site is ready before the rush rather than during it. The rest of the follow-up is remote, with short demos. The site is built in Dutch, with French and English alongside — the norm on the coast, where your guests come from Brussels, Wallonia and across the Channel. The scoping meeting and the quote are free; the quote reaches you within 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions

We run a hotel or a holiday rental. Can you handle online bookings?

Yes. We build a site with a booking module and online payment, or we connect your existing booking system and channels so you are not juggling two calendars. On the coast what matters is that the site holds up through a summer peak and a busy long weekend, which we account for in the hosting setup. And we prefer to put these tools in place out of season, so you are not learning them on a packed Saturday. A booking flow tied into your existing system is custom work: reckon on €99/month over 12 months, or €79/month on a 24-month contract, with no set-up fee. How many channels we have to talk to decides the rest, and the free quote lands within 24 hours.

Which languages do you build the site in?

Dutch as the main version, with French and English alongside — for an Ostend business that is not a luxury but simply who your customers are. All three versions are genuinely built, with correct hreflang tags, and you manage them yourself afterwards from the admin area. Our team answers in the same three languages.

You are based in Brussels. Do you actually come to Ostend?

Yes, for the meetings that really count: the kick-off workshop at your premises, the design approval and the final check before we go live. That is roughly 1h15 on the E40 and we do not bill travel for it. Day-to-day work is followed remotely with short demos, so you never have to wait for a visit to see where the project stands.
