Understand the business first
A good website starts with what the business needs and what visitors should be able to do not with a favourite layout or technology.
ABOUT GANDER STUDIO
A small studio built around direct responsibility.
Gander Studio is my independent web studio. I design and develop the websites myself and stay involved in the infrastructure, hosting and maintenance behind them.
GILLES VAN EUPENFOUNDER / DESIGNER / DEVELOPER
BEHIND THE STUDIO
One person to talk to. One person accountable for the work.
I'm Gilles, a Multimedia & Creative Technologies student based in Belgium. Gander Studio brings together the parts of web work I care about most: design, development and the technical systems that keep a website running.
When you contact Gander Studio, you speak directly with me. The person discussing the idea is also the person making the design decisions, writing the code and preparing the website for launch.
I am deliberately keeping the studio small for the next few years. That means a more personal working relationship and a clear understanding of who is responsible for what.
Because I combine the studio with my studies, project timing is agreed before work begins. I would rather set a realistic schedule than promise something I cannot deliver properly.

Professional without making things needlessly complicated.
These principles shape both the visible website and the technical choices behind it.
Explain the decisions
You should understand what is being built, why a choice matters and what Gander Studio will continue to manage after launch.
Take responsibility after launch
Hosting and maintenance are treated as part of the website's life, not as somebody else's problem once the design is finished.
WORKING TOGETHER
A clear process from first conversation to long-term care.
The exact scope changes from project to project, but the working relationship stays simple and transparent.
01
Understand
We talk about your business, audience, goals and what the website actually needs to do.
02
Agree
You receive a proposal covering the scope, responsibilities, timeline and price before work starts.
03
Design & build
I design and develop the website with review points so decisions are made before launch, not after.
04
Launch & maintain
The finished site goes live and the agreed hosting, updates, backups and maintenance continue from there.
