La Louvière · Centre region
Word of mouth matters, but before calling a tradesperson or walking into a shop, many customers check online first. I build websites for businesses in the Centre region that are easy to manage, fast, and optimized for Google, turning those searches into quote requests.

Local context
Once a land of coal mines, steelworks, and earthenware, La Louvière remains one of the major business hubs of Hainaut, at the heart of the Centre region. Its heritage reflects this, from the hydraulic boat lifts on the Canal du Centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to the Strépy-Thieu funicular boat lift. And every year, the Laetare carnival is a reminder of how attached the city is to its traditions.
Today, the local economy rests on a very diverse mix: shops downtown and in shopping areas, industrial and logistics companies, construction trades, and local services. Many of them serve customers close by, from Binche to Manage, from Le Rœulx to Seneffe.
For your website, this context has a direct consequence: your customers don’t just search for “La Louvière.” They also type the name of their village or former municipality. So your site needs to talk about the area you actually serve, not a vague region.
By profile
A roofer in Maurage, an industrial supplier, and a downtown shop don’t expect the same things from their website. Here’s what really matters for each.
Carpenters, electricians, roofers, landscapers: your website’s first job is to win you work.
Your customers are other businesses: they compare, they check, they ask for references.
Downtown or in a shopping area, your storefront needs to exist online too.

Let’s talk about your websiteLocal SEO
Three simple principles, applied from the moment your site is built, so customers in your area can find it.
“Roof renovation” and “gutter installation” each deserve their own page, in their own words. Google better understands what you do, and visitors instantly find what they’re looking for.
If you work in Houdeng, Binche, or Manage, say so in your copy and your project examples, naturally. Mention the towns you actually serve, rather than a list with no context: visitors find their way, and so does Google.
Same name, same town, same phone number on your website and on your Google Business Profile. And ask your satisfied customers to leave a review: it’s often what makes someone choose between two tradespeople.
Rankings then depend on your content and the competition in your trade. These foundations, however, are built into every site I create: they give you the best possible chance.

Portfolio
Two real, live projects, close to what businesses in the Centre region need: an up-to-date catalog and a mobile-first site for a callout service.
Catalog website
Online vehicle catalog with inventory management.
For a business that manages inventory or a catalog: your offering is online, kept up to date, and your customers can browse it at any hour before calling you.
Business website
Website for a roadside assistance company in Florida, with a feature for locating the broken-down vehicle.
For a callout business: a straightforward, mobile-first business website that helps customers reach you and locate you quickly.
Working together
No time to chase after your web provider? That’s exactly the point: I work around your days on the job site or in the store.
I’m based in La Louvière, so meeting in person is easier to arrange, in town or anywhere else in the Centre region. If it would help your project, we’ll discuss it during the discovery call.
Between two jobs or before the store opens, a video call is often more convenient than a meeting: the free discovery call takes place on Google Meet.
You talk to the person who builds your site, by phone at +32 456 96 02 13, WhatsApp, or email, Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Who I am and how I work.
FAQ

Yes. I’m based in La Louvière itself, and the entire Centre region is part of my service area, from Binche to Seneffe. We work together by video call (Google Meet), phone, or email. Since I’m local, meeting in person is also easier to arrange if your project calls for it: we’ll discuss it during the discovery call.
The essentials: a simple explanation of what you do, photos of your work, your service area, a tap-to-call phone number on every page, and a short quote request form. A custom-coded business website, starting at €1,599 excl. VAT, covers these needs. On a tighter budget, the WordPress version, starting at €1,099 excl. VAT, lets you add your latest jobs yourself.
Yes: a buyer or a technical manager often checks out a supplier online before getting in touch. Your site presents your expertise, your products or services, and your references, and it can also help you recruit locally. For a catalog with inventory management, custom development is available, priced on quote.
By talking about your real service area on your site: mention the towns you actually serve in your copy, your service pages, and your project examples, rather than a list with no context. An up-to-date Google Business Profile and customer reviews round things out. Rankings also depend on the competition: no one can honestly guarantee them.
Yes. I build online stores, preferably custom-coded, or with WooCommerce or PrestaShop: catalog, cart, payment, and order tracking, starting at €2,700 excl. VAT (a fully custom-coded store is priced on quote). Plan on roughly 3–4 weeks to build it, depending on the number of products and the features.
You do, for your content: training on how to use your site is included. For updates, security, backups, and improvements, I offer maintenance at €50 excl. VAT per hour or an annual plan at €500 excl. VAT.
Based in La Louvière, I serve the entire Centre region, the rest of Hainaut, and Brussels.
