Sander Janssen Web Development
High-quality websites for cultural and social organizations
I've been building websites for 14 years, keeping things simple and elegant: solid, premium websites without overcomplicated tech.
Together, we'll dig into the "why" behind your ideas and build features that actually move the needle.
What I do
- Functional web design
- Custom website development
- CMS development (I'm a Statamic CMS Partner)
What I won't do
- Use pre-made templates
- Day-to-day maintenance work
- Build stuff without understanding the why
I work directly with you, move fast, and build websites preferably for organizations driven by purpose, not just profit.

“Powerful craftsman!”
Michel Jansen - Owner of Kleinstesoepfabriek
“Reliable - engaged - result-oriented - will not just assume anything”
Wouter de Vries - Owner of World Nautic Center
“The website has turned out really well! It feels smooth, responsive works as it should, and it includes (micro)transitions that truly enhance the website.”
Olivier Heida - Designer at De Designpraktijk
“I genuinely believe that you are special in that (also partly commercial) way of thinking along.”
Pieter Boonstra - Owner of Boonstra Marketing

👨🏻💻 about-me.html
More about me
Back in 2012 I built my first website for my driving instructor. Terrible code, but it worked, and I got 10 free driving lessons out of it. Seeing it help his business felt amazing. That feeling stuck with me.
These days, I'm selective about the projects I take on. I want to work with organizations doing meaningful work: creative projects, social impact, things that actually help people or make the world better.
I'll ask the right questions, challenge assumptions when needed, and suggest improvements you might not have considered. My best clients love this collaborative approach.
I pay close attention to the details that make a website feel polished and easy to use: smooth micro interactions, thoughtful flow, clean design. The web should work for people, not frustrate them.
If you're doing work that matters, let's talk.
When I'm not building websites, I'm probably spending my time:
- 🏄🏻♂️ Surfing
- 🤖 Playing with AI
- 🎧 Listening to a podcast
- 🔎 Searching for tracks to use in my DJ sets
