Custom Web Development
Tailor-made websites built from scratch with modern frameworks like Astro.js and React for peak performance and SEO.
Betty and Selim build tailor-made websites from their studio in Brussels using Astro.js and React. No page builders, no bloated themes, just clean code that loads fast and ranks well. Every site runs on Cloudflare's edge network for sub-100ms load times, scores in the top percentile on Google's Core Web Vitals, and comes with a simple content management system so your team can update text, add pages, and publish blog posts without calling us every time.

Belgium speaks three languages, so we build English, Dutch, and French in from day one, one website reaching every language community, without the cost of running three separate sites. Custom web development at Studio XL starts from €1,800. That covers a custom-designed site with the essential pages, fast global hosting, the multilingual structure, and on-page SEO foundations.
The final quote depends mainly on three things: how many unique page designs you need, how many languages you publish in, and any integrations like booking tools, CRM connections, or payment flows. We map all of this out together before work begins, so you know the full cost upfront.

Case Studies
Our Process
Discovery
You send us your project, and Selim gets on a call with you to talk through your business and what the site needs to do. If it's a good fit, we lock in a start date.
Strategy + Design Direction
Betty maps out the structure and strategy, based on a short questionnaire and what you told us on the call. Selim turns that into a visual direction for your brand.
Creation
[OUR FAVORITE PART]Once the direction is signed off, Selim builds it: a website, an app, or whatever the project calls for. You'll see progress along the way, not just a reveal at the end.
Delivery
Once everything is approved, we hand over your files and set you up to run the site yourself. Then it's live, and it's yours.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a custom website cost? +
Custom web development at Studio XL starts from €1,800. That covers a custom-designed site with the essential pages, fast hosting, a CMS so you can manage content yourself, and on-page SEO foundations. More unique page designs, extra languages, or integrations like booking systems raise the price. You get a clear quote before work begins.
How long does it take to build a website? +
It depends on scope. A compact site with a handful of pages moves much faster than a multilingual site with custom integrations. The main factors are the number of unique page designs, the languages involved, and how quickly content and feedback come together. Your quote includes a concrete timeline with milestones, so you know when you go live.
Do you use WordPress? +
No. We build with modern frameworks, Astro.js and React, deployed on Cloudflare's edge network. The result is a site that loads in a fraction of a second, scores top marks on Google's Core Web Vitals, and doesn't depend on a stack of plugins that need constant updates. You still get a simple CMS, so managing content stays easy.
Can I update the website myself afterwards? +
Yes. Every site comes with a simple content management system, so your team can change text, add pages, and publish blog posts without touching code or calling a developer. We set it up so the everyday updates are genuinely doable in-house.
Do you build multilingual websites? +
Yes, as standard. We build the English, Dutch, and French structure in from day one, essential in Belgium, where your customers search in different languages. The number of languages you publish in does affect the price, because each language needs its own content and its own SEO.
