Web design in Charleroi that helps you stand out
In a city as big as Charleroi, your competitor is never far away, whether down the street or in Google’s results. I build fast, focused, and persuasive websites, from business websites to booking platforms, so customers choose you.

Local context
Charleroi, a big-city economy
Charleroi is one of the largest cities in Belgium. At the heart of the former Pays Noir, or “Black Country,” long shaped by coal, steel, and glass, it has largely turned toward services, retail, logistics, and technology.
Brussels South Charleroi Airport, in Gosselies, welcomes a large number of travelers every year and supports a whole range of businesses around it: parking, shuttles, car rentals, lodging. Nearby, the Aéropole science park brings together technology companies, particularly in biotech and aeronautics.
With its fifteen former municipalities, from Gosselies to Marcinelle, Charleroi is also a city of neighborhoods, each with its own shops, tradespeople, and practices. Lots of businesses means lots of competition: that’s where a well-built website makes the difference, by making you visible where your customers are looking for you.
By industry
Where a good website makes a real difference in Charleroi
Four types of businesses with a strong presence in the region, and what their website should do first.
Industry, technology, and B2B
The people you deal with are buyers, engineers, and partners. They expect a detailed website, clear references, and direct contact with someone who knows their project inside out.
Neighborhood shops and services
In Jumet, in Gilly, or in the Ville-Haute, your customers search for a shop “near me.” Hours, address, reviews, and a call button need to be visible from the very first second.
Independent professionals and practices
Coach, physical therapist, accountant, lawyer: with plenty of peers in the same city, your website needs to explain what sets you apart and make getting in touch effortless.
Custom-built
Online booking, payments, customer portal: when a business website isn’t enough
Some businesses need more than a storefront. If your customers need to pick a date, check availability, pay online, or find their bookings, custom development saves everyone time.
That’s what I built for a parking platform near Orlando airport and for a vehicle rental company: two businesses similar to those that operate around an airport like Charleroi’s.
Each custom project comes with a detailed quote after the discovery call. It can start with a simple first version, then grow with your needs.
Booking platform
Parking near Orlando airport
Date selection, rates and availability, and online payment: parking with a shuttle, booked in just a few clicks.
Dates, rates, availability, and payment: exactly what a travel-related business needs.
Web application
Online vehicle rental
Online car booking, and a customer portal for tracking reservations.
A complete booking flow and a customer portal where every customer can find their reservations.
Local SEO
Standing out on Google in a big city
The more competitors there are, the more specific you need to be. Four levers I build into every site.
-
Aim narrow rather than broad
Better to rank well for “electrician Marcinelle” than to get lost among “electrician Charleroi.” Your site talks about your neighborhood and the towns you actually serve.
-
One page per service
Each key service gets its own page, with its own words, questions, and examples. It’s clearer for your visitors, and easier for Google to understand.
-
A fast site, designed for phones
A slow site loses its visitors before it’s even read. The sites I build are designed mobile-first and optimized to load fast.
-
A consistent Google profile and reviews
Identical contact details on your site and your Google Business Profile, plus reviews from real customers: two important signals for showing up in local results.
Results then depend on your content, your reviews, and the competition in your field. These foundations, however, are essential to give yourself a chance.

FAQ
Getting a website in Charleroi: your questions
More answers in the general FAQ, or send me a message directly.
Do you work with businesses in Charleroi?
Yes, Charleroi is part of my service area. I’m based in La Louvière, about 25 km away, and most of the project happens remotely: the discovery call and check-ins by video call (Google Meet), questions by phone, WhatsApp, or email. If meeting in person would help your project, we’ll arrange it together.
Can you add online booking and payments to my website?
Yes, that’s custom development: date selection, availability, online payment, customer portal. I’ve built this type of platform for a parking service near Orlando airport (globalparkfly.com) and for a vehicle rental company (actionrac.com). The price depends on the features: it’s set in a detailed quote, after the discovery call.
How can I stand out on Google among the many businesses in Charleroi?
By being specific: one page per service, copy that mentions your neighborhood and the towns you actually serve, a fast site on mobile, and a Google Business Profile that matches your site, backed by customer reviews. Rankings also depend on the competition in your field: no one can guarantee the top spot.
Custom-coded site or WordPress site: which should I choose?
I recommend the custom-coded business website, starting at €1,599 excl. VAT: a unique design and a lighter site. WordPress, starting at €1,099 excl. VAT, is the more affordable alternative if you want to update your content yourself day to day. As soon as you need specific features, such as online booking, we move to custom development, priced on quote. We decide together during the discovery call.
My current website is showing its age: can you take it over?
Yes. I can modernize your existing site to make it faster, clearer, and better suited to mobile, then handle its maintenance: €50 excl. VAT per hour, or a €500 excl. VAT annual plan. The redesign quote is prepared after reviewing your current site.
Charleroi is part of my service area, along with the rest of Hainaut and Brussels.
