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.

Yasmine D'hanis
Thanks Funkhaus for the clear view on my website (www.minro-legal.be) ! Thanks to your clear and concrete tips, I was able to make the website a lot more user-friendly. Thanks to you, I have also been able to eliminate errors that had previously gone unnoticed.
Thank you! Definitely highly recommended!
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.

Punishing service! Our website had been running way too slow for years. That was solved quickly and efficiently. A friendly contact too. I will be back for more Funk!

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.
