Get a grant for your digital investment
A professional website or webshop is a good investment for your company or organisation. Not only does it give you a digital presence with your target groups, but it also creates new leads and commercial opportunities. The government also understands the importance of a good website, and provides special subsidies that support your business in your digital investments.
Whether you need advice for digital growth, want to realise a specific project, invest in an innovative webshop, set up a secure online payment system or implement multilingual communication? The government is happy to help you get started with a grant for your digital journey.

What our partners say
Mafi Ramazani Matondo
I was referred to funkhaus because previous web designer/web host could not accomplish what I had requested . In the end, Wout got special features I needed for my webshop up and running. Everything went smoothly, very good communication.
Wout is also easy to reach in case of questions or problems. I would recommend funkhaus to anyone. Topper!!!
P DB
What a pleasant collaboration with Wout and his team. Funkhaus built 2 excellent websites and is working on the digital marketing for my company. Professional, always correct, very knowledgeable and super helpful.
Leen Vermeiren
After being introduced to several website builders, we confidently went with Funkhaus to build our new website and choose our new corporate identity. Wout guided us through the whole process in a professional, efficient and friendly manner. We are very happy with this cooperation and can definitely recommend Funkhaus. Feel free to take a look at the website of Stella Matutina Wuustwezel.
Domaine de Renesse
We are very happy with the website Funkhaus created for us. The design is modern and attractive, and the user-friendliness (especially for making changes and adding activities ourselves) is excellent. The service is also very pleasant: in case of questions or changes, the response is quick and helpful. In short, a fine cooperation and a result we are proud of.
Peter Claes
I contacted Wout as part of a mini RFP where he came out on top in a selection of 13 competitors. He was not the cheapest but stood head and shoulders above the competition in terms of responsiveness, clarity, transparency, helpfulness and willingness to listen.
From the start of my project, it turned out to be precisely these qualities that ensured that every question, every suggestion and the countless times I changed my mind were calmly and openly met and resolved by Wout.
Each time, he managed to clarify my sometimes confused suggestions, offer some solutions and then, above all, implement them at lightning speed (even "on the spot" in some cases).
His communication is calm, friendly, never pedantic or unnecessarily complicated. He is approachable, always accessible and keeps his appointments.
He will also explain his views on certain decisions and frame them with the necessary diplomacy.
He kept me informed at every step of the progress he had made, the next steps and the actions I still needed to take myself.
And the result is a website that runs flawlessly and that I can be incredibly proud of. NPS 10/10.

The entire Eurowaste team would like to thank your team at Funkhaus for the smooth and professional cooperation. We currently have a fresh new website that works well. Thanks also for getting our 'socials' like LinkedIn in order.
Nick Van der Hallen
Fantastic and honest company with very flexible and fast customer service. Funkhaus took our new website to the next level, with plenty of options to expand on later. Great to work with and highly recommended!
Hugo Degroote
Funkhaus built our new webshop - hugely satisfied!
The cooperation went smoothly and the final result fully met our expectations.
We are also happy to stay in touch for further follow-up around SEO and SEA.

Lisa van Gils
Funkhaus designed our website. They heard us well and translated our wishes into something that suits us perfectly. In the process, they continue to help us with topics that are not 'proprietary' for us such as visibility and marketing. The contact is fluid and good. We are fans!
