E-commerce website & webshop development from €5,750
An e-commerce website without surprises: one fixed price from €5,750, built in Rotterdam by a single maker — not an agency. Product management through a CMS, payments including iDEAL, and up to five languages, so your webshop is ready to sell from day one. Prefer to spread the cost? That works too: from €329 a month.
Webshop development: what's included
At MAAS·studios, a webshop falls under the custom package: from €5,750, excluding 21% VAT, with one fixed price agreed up front. No hourly billing, no surprise extras — you know exactly what you pay and what you get before the build starts. Included as standard:
- Product management via CMS — you add products, prices, copy and photos yourself, without depending on me;
- Payments including iDEAL — plus the payment methods relevant to your own customers (e.g. Bancontact, giropay, cards);
- Shipping — delivery options and costs configured for your catalogue;
- Multilingual if you need it — your shop can be delivered in up to five languages, just like this website.
All packages and prices are listed on the pricing overview.
Why not just use Shopify?
Shopify looks cheap to start: Basic is €28 a month (€21/month billed annually), Grow is €78 a month — plus 1.9% + €0.25 per card transaction and €0.29 per iDEAL payment. That is not a one-off investment but a subscription with no end date: you keep paying for as long as the shop exists, on top of a percentage of every sale, and the shop always remains Shopify's property — you rent a platform and a theme, you own nothing. A custom design, extra apps or a CRM integration are billed on top, every month.
At MAAS·studios you buy the shop: €5,750 one-off, or spread the cost through the webshop subscription at €329 a month for 24 months — after that it is yours, with no platform fee and no cut of your sales. You only pay your payment provider's normal rate, not Shopify's markup on top of it.
Speed is conversion
A slow e-commerce website sells poorly: visitors drop off before checkout and Google ranks sluggish pages lower. That's why I build every webshop with a target of Lighthouse scores of 90+ for speed, SEO and accessibility — measurable, not a marketing claim. Lean code, optimised images and mobile-first design, because many of your customers shop on their phone.
Secure, GDPR-aware and honest
Your webshop handles customer data: names, addresses, orders. I set that up with the GDPR in mind — encrypted traffic (HTTPS/SSL), only the data needed for ordering and shipping, and clear privacy information for your customers.
Just as important: no fake scarcity and no invented reviews. Phoney counters ("only 2 left in stock!") and bought stars are misleading and not allowed. What your shop shows is true — and that is exactly what builds the trust an online store lives on.
Integrations: payments, calendar, CRM & APIs
A webshop rarely stands alone. Where needed, I connect your shop to the systems you already use:
- Payments — payment providers, including iDEAL;
- Calendar — useful if you also schedule appointments or delivery slots;
- CRM — orders and customer data flowing straight into your system;
- APIs — custom connections to the rest of your software.
Because I build custom rather than from templates, your process defines the integration — not the other way around.
From practice: Kozynofferte
An honest example: kozynofferte.nl is not a classic webshop but a quoting SaaS I built entirely myself. It does, however, contain exactly the building blocks e-commerce runs on: product selection, quote and order flows, and a process that guides visitors step by step towards a request.
Process, payment & ownership
Every webshop follows the same fixed way of working:
- Free start — audit, mockup and proposal cost nothing and carry no obligation;
- 50/50 payment — 50% on approval, 50% on delivery before go-live; 14-day payment term, by bank transfer, iDEAL or SEPA;
- Monthly option too — would rather not pay it all at once? The webshop subscription is €329 a month for 24 months; after that the shop is yours;
- 3–4 weeks — the average delivery time from approval;
- 100% ownership — design, code, content and domain are yours after full payment;
- 6 months of aftercare — bug fixes included; after that, optional maintenance & hosting at €49/month, cancellable monthly.
