What the site had to actually do.

Notarial work is bought under stress. Someone is buying a house, starting a company, or settling an estate, and the document in front of them is legally binding and largely unreadable. Most notary websites answer that with institutional language and a contact form.

The brief was the opposite: explain the deed before anyone signs it, publish the fees rather than hiding them behind an enquiry, and work in both Dutch and English without the English feeling like an afterthought.

4 decisions that shaped it.

Structure Answers in the order they are asked 6 areas of practice, each with what the deed does, what it costs, and how long it takes. The site answers the question before asking for a phone number.

Fees Published, not quoted on request A visible fee page is unusual in this profession. It is also the single fastest way to earn trust from someone comparing 3 notaries.

Bilingual Dutch and English as equals Amsterdam is full of internationals signing Dutch deeds. Both languages carry the full content, not a reduced summary.

Process 4 stages, whichever deed you need One process explanation that holds for property, company formation, and estates, so the reader is never guessing which path applies to them.

What went live, and what it says up front.

14 sections. A reviewed-by-clients section. An appointment flow that starts with the matter type rather than a blank message box. And the fees, published, in both languages, before anyone has had to ask.
