Grants for your new website or webshop?
Tips 'n tricks about the web, digital trends, and online marketing
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.
This blog post will tell you how and when you can get a grant.

What our partners say
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.

Kurt Habraken
Are you looking for a reliable partner to increase your online visibility, are you looking for a partner to get a website built? Wout and the colleagues at Funkhaus are a fine partner to start a project. At first, they listen carefully to what we wanted as customers. Based on this, Wout makes an offer, and after approval, they get to work. During the set-up period, there is frequent contact and consultation so that everything runs smoothly and the outcome is as the customer, us, expected. Even the after-service after delivery, which is invaluable after all, is super.
A fine partner to work with, who doesn't look down on any extra effort either. All this at a fair affordable cost makes absolutely super
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!!!
