Do you only work with businesses in the Netherlands?

No. Our offer is open to businesses and agencies across Europe. Our business presence is in the Netherlands, with delivery support from India. We discuss working hours, communication and project requirements before starting.

Who will I communicate with?

We agree a main point of contact at the start. Project discussions and coordination run through our Netherlands business presence, with delivery specialists involved when their input is needed. English is our standard working language.

Can you improve an existing website or product?

Yes. We can start by reviewing what you already have, what needs to change and any technical constraints. The recommendation may be a focused improvement, a larger update or a new build.

Can I work with you on just one service?

Yes. You can discuss a specific need, such as a website, SEO, a campaign or an application. We define the work around that need and explain any related dependencies.

How much will a project cost?

The cost depends on the scope, complexity and level of ongoing support. Share your goals and any budget guidance, and we can discuss the requirements before preparing a proposal.

How long does a project take?

The timeline depends on the work involved, the starting point and the availability of content, access and feedback. We set out the proposed stages and timing once the requirements are clear.

Can you work with our existing team or agency?

Yes. We can discuss how to support a defined part of the work and agree responsibilities, communication and review points with the people already involved.

What happens after delivery?

Handover and any ongoing support are agreed as part of the scope. This can include maintenance, further development or continuing marketing support, depending on the engagement.

How do you brief a web development agency?

Updated 31 October 2026

Brief a web development agency with the offer, the audience, what exists today and the decision the project has to support. A short written note is enough to start. You do not need a specification. You do need to say what success is, in operational language rather than adjectives.

What to include

Say what you sell and who it is for. Link the current site and name the part that fails. List must-keep items: a brand, a login, a shop, a booking engine. Add timing constraints and a budget range if you have one. A range lets the agency remove scope instead of guessing.

Skip mood language unless you attach a reference. 'Modern' and 'premium' do not choose a layout. An example of a journey you want, even from another industry, does.

The offer, in a few sentences
The audience and the next step you want from them
The current site and the specific failure
Constraints: brand, systems, languages, deadline, budget range
Who will approve the work, and how quickly

What happens after you send it

A useful agency asks about the gaps and then proposes deliverables, responsibilities and review points. AmstelMinds does that before build. The form on the contact page emails the note to us. If that cannot be sent from the site, it opens a draft in your own mail. You can also write straight to ubbad@amstelminds.com.

If you are choosing between a site, a store and an application, say so. We would rather reframe the brief than estimate the wrong object. Related reading: web development and what drives website cost.

Questions

Is there a template to copy?

Use the list in this article as the template. Paste it into an email and answer each line. A separate downloadable file is not required to start.

How long should the brief be?

A page is enough when the links are included. A forty-page document that never says what the user should do next is harder to estimate than a short one that does.

Discuss your project

Share what you want to build, improve or make easier. A short outline is enough to start. The form emails the enquiry to us, and opens a draft in your mail app only if that send fails.
