I Build Websites & Automate Things
Web development and AI automation for small to mid-size businesses.
Good websites. Smart automation. No enterprise nonsense. I help businesses that want solid tech without the three-month discovery phase.
One person. Good work. No agency theatre.
I'm Berend van Dijk — a web developer and automation specialist based in Arnhem. I started BVDNET because I kept seeing businesses overpay for mediocre results from agencies three layers removed from anyone who actually writes code.
