01
Custom system
Custom front lines for brands that cannot afford to look borrowed.
Studio, sites and system layers
Websites and
systems that
do not need to
feel generic.
PixelPiraterij helps brands, founders and premium services with custom sites, template routes, managed hosting and system layers that not only look strong, but keep functioning professionally after launch.
01
What PixelPiraterij can do for you at the base layer.
Not every project starts in the same place. Sometimes custom work is needed, sometimes a template route, sometimes mostly a managed layer that brings back calm and continuity.
02
Template start
Curated starting systems that move faster than a blank-canvas build.
03
System layer
Hosting, portals and operational depth that keep the whole thing under control.
02
Who this layer tends to help most.
We do not aim everything at one client type. The strength is in choosing the right route for the right kind of brand, team or product.
Route
Founders and digital products
For teams that need a serious web surface without wasting energy on weak hosting or generic launch tooling.
- Sharper launch surfaces and product-facing pages
- Infrastructure that reduces technical drag
- Room to grow into portals, tools and system layers
Route
Creative studios and labels
For culture-first brands that need atmosphere, control and release-ready infrastructure in one place.
- Identity-led layouts and campaign surfaces
- Managed hosting for spikes, drops and releases
- A stronger world than a dressed-up theme
Route
Hospitality and premium services
For brands that need trust, calm and premium desire instead of low-budget brochure behaviour.
- Trust-first premium presentation
- Booking and conversion awareness
- Ongoing hosting and site stewardship
Route
People with an idea that still needs a shape
For anyone without a ready-made route yet, but with a concept, a feeling or an ambition that needs to become visible and concrete.
- An open route without a structure fixed in advance
- Room to move from an idea toward a concrete design
- A useful stepping stone into a sharper route once the idea takes shape
03
Sort your domain out right here.
Claiming a name is the smallest step of a new plan, and the one that stalls most often. See what is free straight away — and whether you take a site from me or only want the name, I set the DNS up properly.
Type a name and I will ask the registry straight away which extensions are still free.
04
Built work should function as proof, not as a loose portfolio feed.
The cases show different types of strength: identity-led commerce, hospitality, cultural routes and software-facing systems.
Identity-led commerce
KunstvanVB
Shows editorial polish, premium framing and stronger visual control across a full brand surface.
Hospitality systems
Sjoerd and Couvert directions
Shows calm conversion, spatial desire and a more refined route into hospitality web logic.
Culture and narrative
Hermes Records and vage.blog
Shows that narrative atmosphere and usability can strengthen each other instead of competing for attention.
Software-facing systems
EvaQuant and WattNetjes
Shows dashboard logic and data-driven infrastructure stories, from trading to energy.
Product and SaaS interfaces
LumenOS
Shows that PixelPiraterij can also build standalone product interfaces with their own interaction patterns, apart from a marketing site.
05
A few routes already show how broad that capability really is.
From brand worlds to hospitality and from cultural interfaces to dashboards: these examples make the current quality bar tangible.
Service route
Hof & Hei makes a specialist service immediately tangible.
A garden and landscape studio where imagery, expertise and the planting plan shape the route together.
- Calm service positioning
- Content rooted in real expertise
- Clear path to contact
Event route
Havenlicht combines programme, atmosphere and planning in one world.
A festival route with a working timetable that flags overlapping acts without losing its visual energy.
- Programme as functional core
- Distinct festival identity
- Mobile-friendly timetable
Listings route
Werf & Vecht makes listings comparable without becoming cold.
An estate route with filters, price-per-square-metre comparison and room for trust and narrative.
- Filterable listings
- Comparable market information
- Premium yet approachable presentation
Cultural route
Digital Paperback Atelier gives books an editorial home.
A publishing route where catalogue, authorship and editorial rhythm matter more than a generic shop grid.
- Editorial hierarchy
- Room for catalogue and authors
- Cultural identity with structure
06
The system layer underneath should also be visible in the offer.
Hosting, templates and app or portal routes are not side notes. They are part of how a brand stays professionally functional online.
Route
Design studio
Custom surfaces, system thinking and authored presentation instead of theme assembly.
- Part of the same PixelPiraterij route
- Meant to pull presentation and operations closer together
- Can later grow into `.online` or the hub when that becomes the logical next step
Route
Managed hosting
A recurring trust layer with backups, monitoring, updates and human support built into the offer.
- Part of the same PixelPiraterij route
- Meant to pull presentation and operations closer together
- Can later grow into `.online` or the hub when that becomes the logical next step
Route
Template-backed systems
Reusable structures that shorten launch time while keeping room for custom outcomes.
- Part of the same PixelPiraterij route
- Meant to pull presentation and operations closer together
- Can later grow into `.online` or the hub when that becomes the logical next step
Route
Apps and portals
The product side of PixelPiraterij, proving there is real operational and software depth under the brand.
- Part of the same PixelPiraterij route
- Meant to pull presentation and operations closer together
- Can later grow into `.online` or the hub when that becomes the logical next step
07
Price direction and entry points should feel understandable.
Not everything needs to start as full custom work. We therefore make it visible where a strong base route begins, which add-ons make sense and when a project becomes heavier custom work.
Base
Route Start
€39 / month + €199 launch
One-time setup and launch €199; monthly cancellation afterwards.
The complete base route with hosting, launch and editor access. Meant as a real start, not as a stripped entry that immediately creates extra work.
- One strong route foundation that already works commercially
- Editor for atmosphere, content, colors and imagery
- Hosting, launch and core upkeep included
Add-on
Only when neededRoute Plus
€10 to €15 / module / month
You pay per selected module, not for everything by default.
Only the extra layer that is actually needed. No bundled feature pile the client will never use.
- Booking, inquiry, menu or agenda as separate add-on layers
- Choose only what fits the route family
- Fast expansion without jumping into custom too early
Next step
Route Custom
Only when the route truly outgrows the system
This only starts once the route clearly needs more logic or depth.
Custom work is the next step, not a hidden obligation from day one.
- More pages, deeper logic or heavier flows
- Growth without rebuilding the base from scratch
- A clear bridge into premium custom work when it is genuinely needed
Custom
Route Open
On request
Scope and investment are worked out together after an intake conversation.
For an idea that has no fixed shape yet. An open route, fully custom-designed from the first conversation.
- Design from a blank canvas, not from a template
- Fits when an idea still needs to be translated visually
- Direct studio involvement instead of a fixed package
08
Where you move next.
`.nl` remains the commercial front door. After that, `.online` and the hub open the next layer: tangible routes, live features, apps and product environments.
Route
Start with a studio or service brief
For brands that need a serious front end, sharper positioning or a more reliable system underneath the site.
- Custom work where presentation and control really matter
- Useful for premium brands, founders and hospitality
- From strategy and surface to hosting and stewardship
Route
Move into `.online` for tangible routes
That is where we show how templates, features and product layers look once the next step needs to become more hands-on and comparable.
- Template and capability routes
- Tangible examples of frontend, backend and automation
- A clearer line between fast starts and custom work
Route
Use the hub as the app gallery
The hub becomes the central place for web apps, Android apps, software versions and later downloads inside the same ecosystem.
- Collect apps in one place
- Separate web versions and downloads cleanly
- Under the same PixelPiraterij umbrella, but with its own role
09
Our process should move from clarity into growth.
We do not only want to ship something attractive. We want to set up a route that can scale logically once the brand or product grows further.
Brief
We first map the brand, audience, ambition and technical weight so it becomes clear whether a studio, template or system route fits best.
Build
Then we shape the right surface: custom where it matters, template-backed speed where it helps and a system layer that stays credible after launch.
Prove
Through cases, live routes and tangible examples we show what already works and where the next growth step becomes logical.
Scale
When a brand needs more, `.online` and the hub open the next layer: templates, product routes, apps and heavier system applications.
Next move
Use `.nl` to choose the right route first, then go deeper into the ecosystem.
Need custom work, a stronger site or a more reliable system underneath your brand? That starts here. Want to see tangible template routes, live features or app environments after that, then `.online` and the hub open the next layer.
