Website development

Website development that loads fast and can be edited without a developer

If you need a new website developed, I build it to load fast, be easy to edit yourself and not need redoing in two years. I have developed websites since 2010 and have more than 400 projects behind me. You get a written quote before we start, and the code is yours from day one.

  • The technical help I cannot do without

    I would never be able to serve my clients as well as I do without Mikkel.

  • Sets the standard for other suppliers

    Warning: work with Mikkel and you risk damaging your relationship with every other supplier you have. It happens because he sets, by nature, an extraordinary standard for flexibility, decency and not least delivery time.

  • Carries the project all the way through

    When you work with Mikkel, you can be certain the project gets carried 100% of the way.

Website development

WordPress or Next.js

There is no single right answer. If marketing needs to build landing pages themselves and you publish content weekly, WordPress is usually the right choice. If the site is more static but needs to be very fast and closely integrated with other systems, I build it in Next.js.

What I advise against is a heavy page builder on top of WordPress. It looks fine in the demo, and two years later the front page pulls three megabytes of JavaScript to render four sections.

Typical development jobs

  • A new website from scratch, built from your design or visual identity.
  • Rebuilding an existing site that has become slow or impossible to edit.
  • Migration from an old CMS with redirects and Google rankings handled properly.
  • Landing and campaign pages that marketing can clone and adapt themselves.
  • Multilingual sites with correct hreflang and a structure that can be maintained.
  • Speed optimisation of pages failing Core Web Vitals.

What comes with it

The code sits with you from day one. There is no licence on what I build, and you are free to change vendor later if you wish.

I hand over with a short video walkthrough, so the next person opening the project can find their way without calling.

What you get

Concrete deliverables, not a report of recommendations someone else has to find time for.

  • A site you can edit yourselves

    The editing fields are built around what you actually need to change, so less can break by accident.

  • Fast loading on mobile

    Images are scaled automatically on upload, fonts are hosted locally, and JavaScript is used only where needed.

  • SEO from day one

    Sitemap, metadata, structured data and redirects from the old site are part of the delivery, not a late add-on.

  • Full ownership

    The code and content are yours with no licences or lock-in, so you can freely choose vendors going forward.

The work in practice

How it works

Four steps. You know what happens when, and you can stop after any of them.

  1. 01

    We walk through the job

    A 20-30 minute call where you describe what needs to be built or repaired. I ask about platform, access and deadline, and tell you honestly if the job sits outside what I am good at.

  2. 02

    Review of your code

    Small jobs get a price after a short clarification. If a larger existing project needs a technical review first, we agree the price and scope of that review before I open the code.

  3. 03

    Written quote with a clear scope

    You get a firm agreement on what is included, what is not, and when it will be ready. If the scope changes along the way, we deal with it openly instead of letting it drift.

  4. 04

    Delivery in your own setup

    I work in your own repository and your own hosting and deliver in pieces you can see and approve. When we are done, you have the code, the access and documentation that makes you independent of me.

Frequently asked questions

What does website development cost?
The price depends mainly on the number of page types, whether design starts from scratch or builds on your identity, and which integrations the site needs. Describe briefly what you need and I will come back with a concrete quote, with a reply the same day.
What does website development involve?
Setting up the CMS, coding the design, forms, integrations, speed optimisation and the SEO foundation. In short, everything from approved design to a site that is live, measures correctly and can be edited by you.
Do you develop websites outside Copenhagen?
Yes, roughly half my clients are outside the Copenhagen area, including in Aarhus, Odense and Aalborg. The work is remote, so geography plays no role in either price or quality.
How long does a website take?
A regular company site with ten to fifteen pages typically takes four to eight weeks from approved design. What usually drags it out is not the code but that the copy has not been written yet.
Can we edit the website ourselves afterwards?
Yes. I build the editing fields to match what you actually need to change and leave out access to the rest. It is easier to use, and there is less that can be broken by accident.
Can you move the content from our old site?
Yes. What matters is that the content moves with its structure rather than as one big field of HTML. Otherwise you face the same editing problem again in two years.
Do we need a design before contacting you?
No. If you have a visual identity, I build from it. If a whole new look needs creating, I recommend a designer for that part, and I am happy to collaborate with whoever you choose.
Who hosts the website afterwards?
You do, in your own name. I do not sell hosting, but I gladly recommend a solution and set it up, so you do not depend on me to keep the site running.
