A Dutch brand we have built for
House Wine is an independent Dutch wine marketplace, and we built it as a custom multi-vendor WooCommerce platform with a Dutch design sensibility and AI cellar features underneath. Getting a marketplace right means the design stays calm while the logic underneath handles many sellers, many products and a smooth buyer journey — and that is what we delivered.
Design the Dutch way
Amsterdam brands tend to want less, done better: clear typography, generous space, no ornament for its own sake. That restraint is harder than it looks, and it is exactly the aesthetic our dark, editorial style is built around. The result feels at home in the Dutch market rather than imported.
iDEAL and European payments
A Dutch store without iDEAL is losing sales at checkout — it is the payment method most Dutch shoppers expect. We integrate iDEAL alongside SEPA, card and Klarna where it fits, through Stripe or your platform's native gateway, invoiced to you in euros.
Multilingual NL/EN and GDPR
Many Amsterdam brands sell to both Dutch and international customers, so we build proper NL/EN multilingual structures with correct hreflang, and everything is GDPR-first: consent before non-essential cookies, minimal data collection, a clean basis for your privacy documentation.
Built for the Dutch scale-up scene
Amsterdam punches far above its size in e-commerce and scale-ups, and those companies want the same thing: a site that looks unmistakably Dutch — clean and confident — and a commerce layer that scales without drama.
Whether that is a marketplace with many sellers, a subscription product or a cross-border store selling into Germany and Belgium, we build the design and the logic to match. English is the working language throughout, so nothing is lost in translation and reviews move quickly.
Selling beyond the Netherlands
Most Amsterdam brands do not stop at the Dutch border. Germany and Belgium are a short hop away, and a store that only speaks Dutch and only takes iDEAL leaves those markets on the table. We build the multilingual structure, the extra payment methods and the VAT handling so expanding into a neighbouring market is a configuration change, not a rebuild.
That forward planning is cheaper done once, up front, than retrofitted later. We scope the build around where you want to sell in a year, not just where you sell today, so your first international customer does not trigger a second project.
Amsterdam questions, answered.
Do you understand Dutch design expectations?
Yes — our editorial, restrained style suits the Dutch preference for clean, confident, unfussy design, and our House Wine marketplace was built with exactly that sensibility.
Can you integrate iDEAL?
Yes. We integrate iDEAL alongside SEPA, card and Klarna through Stripe or your platform's native gateway — essential for converting Dutch shoppers at checkout.
Can you build a Dutch/English multilingual site?
Yes, with proper per-language URL structure and correct hreflang so both NL and EN versions rank in their own right rather than competing.
Are your builds GDPR compliant?
Yes, consent-first with minimal data collection and a clean technical basis for your privacy documentation.
Do you invoice in euros?
Yes, EUR invoicing on a fixed price agreed in writing before work begins.
Who owns the finished site?
You do — all code, files and hosting accounts, with no platform lock-in or licence fee.
Do you offer maintenance after launch?
Yes. Optional monthly plans cover updates, backups, monitoring and small changes across your Dutch and English versions.
Can you build a marketplace or subscription store?
Yes. Our House Wine build is a custom multi-vendor marketplace; we build subscription and multi-seller commerce on WooCommerce and Shopify.
