Love Tomorrow is the business and innovation event in Belgium that runs alongside Tomorrowland, and thanks to an invitation from De Tijd, I spent a day there. The program started early: a morning session of breath therapy, followed by a networking lunch. Not the usual way to open a business event, but it worked quite well for me. It felt like everyone woke up from a quick powernap and arrived at the lunch tables noticeably more relaxed than at the average conference coffee corner queue.

This article is a recap of how a digital studio experienced the Love Tomorrow Festival in Belgium.

The Fairytale Setting

You cannot talk about Love Tomorrow without talking about where it takes place. Walking between the stage decorations of Tomorrowland is a reminder of what production at scale actually looks like: enormous structures, built with precision, designed to hold up under the weight of hundreds of thousands of visitors.

It was interesting to see the Tomorrowland area filled with people dressed for business instead of half the clothes when they are dressed to party. Some areas are closed off during Love Tomorrow so I could not discover the full experience, but it was still amazing to see.

Love Tomorrow also has a lot of privetazed business events, like the one I had with De Tijd. Making quite a few stages not accessible unless you got a specific invite.

My Honest Observation

Love Tomorrow covers a lot of ground. Sustainability, health, technology, and society all share the same stages. For me, it also means the depth I look for in a technology event is harder to find. Personally I tend to get more out of focused sector events on technology or AI, where the conversations start three levels deeper.

AI was well represented, but the demos on stage stayed close to the mainstream: the kind of use cases and AI discussions we’ve already seen. That is a fair choice for a broad audience, so I’m not complaining. It is just not where the interesting problems for Weichie live right now.

Personal Conversations

Therefore, the stages were not the point of the day for me. The people who were attending are.

I spoke with a founder who built an AI plugin that reduces token usage by almost 80 percent. That number matters more than it sounds: token consumption is the variable that makes AI costs hard to predict, and cutting it that far opens the door to offering customers a fixed AI cost inside our Weichie WOS application.

I also sat down with someone from the IT department of Police Zone Antwerp to talk about Aidan, our Digitale Wijkagent application. Rolling out a digital neighborhood officer for Politiezone Rivierenland taught us a lot about what police zones actually need, and comparing notes with another zone sharpens that picture further.

Another conversation took me into the health sector, exploring where the struggles overlap with policing: citizens who need a low-threshold way to reach an organization, teams that cannot scale their availability, and questions that arrive at all hours. The context differs. The underlying problem does not, and that is exactly the territory where a system like Aidan becomes relevant beyond its original sector. Not only public facing, but also assisting from the inside.

What I take home from Love Tomorrow

Love Tomorrow may be broader than our usual event diet, but it does have one advantage: you meet people you would never cross at a niche AI conference. A founder or CEO that is not a SaaS founder, a police officer, and a problem-solving conversation related to the health sector in one afternoon is not bad.

If any of these conversations sound like one you want to have with us, about AI costs, about Aidan, or about the infrastructure underneath your own operation: Please feel free to reach out to me! Always open for a quick conversation.

Congratulations, your new website is live! You invested time, money, and resources into its launch. You had a great time with the digital agency that built it for you, but now what? That’s it for our collaboration?

The launch is just the beginning! Without consistent website maintenance or SEO strategies, you’re not getting the most out of your investment.

It would be a shame to make a big investment, and then let it slowly get covered in dust for the next few years and then… just start over with a new website.

Your website is your sales tool

Website Maintenance is not for the looks of your website. It’s for ensuring the website keeps working as intended. Your customers can still find what they are looking for without stranding on broken pages, contact forms remain working, addresses and phone numbers remain up-to-date, the website and your business keep thriving.

No one likes to end up on a website where the latest post is from over a few years ago. It just doesn’t feel right for the customer. But keeping fresh content and insightful news about your industry is your task, or if you hired an agency to do it for you, their task.

Website Maintenance also makes sure that the editing tools and functionalities on your website remain working smoothly. Not only for your customers, but website maintenance mainly helps your company by making changes to the website easy and fun!

Everything works better when maintained properly

Not caring for something eventually ends up with something that either costs a lot of money/effort to repair, or “it’s cheaper to buy a new one”. For example, your brand new bike that was once brand new, just stands in the garage for 3 years without moving an inch. Tires deflated, rusty chains and brakes, a saddle that is giving off, … When you simply give it a ride or a quick clean once in a while, the bike remains in perfect condition.

Some expensive website issues that can easily be avoided with simple maintenance:

Note that many of these issues also rarely come alone. Once your plugins or server is no longer up-to-date, your contact forms might stop working, or you will have increased security risks. Resulting in a hacked website that is too infected to quickly fix.

Suddenly, it becomes an emergency, your lead forms do not work, or your site is down. All hands on deck, you reach out to your agency, and they will do their best to resolve it as quickly as possible. Everything is rushed, no one is happy, everything takes longer than expected and the price for the recovery in the end will also not make you happy.

Website Maintenance Guarantee

Make sure to always check what’s included in your maintenance contract if you decide to go for it. So you’re sure what you’re paying for, and what is covered when something happens or when you ask for content updates.

We do need a break sometimes, but it’s harder to leave our screens behind.

Our small but fearless team took on a thrilling VR shooting challenge yesterday. Hitting both targets and each other, but moved from the intense teamwork for survival to a romantic fondue dinner table in the end. Cheers!

We’re moving! New year, new location as a new chapter begins for our digital agency. Weichie.com has moved offices to the vibrant city center of Brussels, leaving behind our beloved Botanic Tower for the charismatic “Oude Graanmarkt!

From WeWork to our own space

Our agency started out at a WeWork co-working space. Personally, I feel like WeWork is super nice to get your agency started and grow your business. I joined WeWork while freelancing. After half a year, I hired our first full-time employee and upgraded to a 2-people private office at WeWork.

Our partner Yannick joined full-time soon after, but he remained working remotely almost 100% of the time. No need to upgrade our office to a bigger space just yet, but time flew by as we accepted a few interns along the way. We started to see that a bigger office wouldn’t be an unnecessary luxury after all.

Upgrading once again to a three-person office it was. That’s the power and flexibility of being a WeWork member. It didn’t take us much time once we were at the 3-person office until we onboarded our fourth employee. And as you could guess… our office became too small once again.

Our exciting new home

I requested a quote from WeWork for a 4 or 6 people office. But the prices that came back, weren’t that straightforward anymore. The price range we ended up for those office spaces, was competing against prices for our own private space.

A private space means we can do whatever we like without WeWork rules. There are no dirty dishes or crowded lunch areas anymore, no monthly fire drills, and no full fridges, … We didn’t really participate in the WeWork community events either as they are mostly held during the working day.

This made us look around for other office spaces, no longer at WeWork. We loved WeWork and I still do, but the new place we came across is unbeatable.

Our new office space opens room for us to grow, without requesting new upgrade quotes from WeWork every few months. This new space will set our Weichie.com agency up for solid, future growth for at least the next three years.

Come by and have a look!

We’re now located at “Oude Graanmarkt 6”. Right in the bustling city center of Brussels. Even better, we’re renting the top floor of the “Otomat” restaurant chain. The office still needs to grow but we have cold drinks, coffee, and tea available if you want to visit us! We’re more than happy to show you around.

Currently, this is only the part that is finished. We’ll put up a TV and a brainstorming table soon! Next up is to decorate the second room as well with a nice meeting table and lounge area.

What does this mean for our Clients?

We’re now located in the city center, which makes us super accessible by public transport. For clients or partners who prefer to meet by car, there is street parking and underground parking available with less than a 5-minute walk to our location. Just bear in mind that traffic in Brussels is not so nice.

With this new office, we have room for growth and we can better invest in ourselves. We can analyze our agency and see where we can improve our services to ensure our clients get the best web agency we can be for them. A digital partner that is energetic, motivated, not scared of challenges, and enthusiastic about all the projects our clients do.

Plans and expectations

We moved our office to this new location as it perfectly reflects our young entrepreneurial spirit. Sharing the building with the Otomat pizzeria makes this adventure even better! As mentioned we’re still setting up our new office but one thing is for sure: we’re moving in the right direction.

Thank you all!

A heartfelt thank you to WeWork for being a stepping stone in our growth, to our clients for trusting us in our formative years, and to our partners, freelancers, and collaborators who have been integral in crafting digital wonders.

Our biggest gratitude goes to our dedicated team, whose passion in web development and design is the cornerstone of Weichie.com.

Here’s to many more years of innovation, growth, and digital excellence! Cheers.

Are you looking for the best SEO company that can improve the Google rankings of your restaurant? The restaurant industry is extremely competitive, even without all the online activity we have today. You’re busy making sure your customers are enjoying the atmosphere and food at your establishment but the digital game for restaurants is even harder.

We will cook up some strategies to help your eatery stand out in the digital world. A clear target and some fresh content are the best marketing strategies.

SEO Marketing for restaurants

Is there much difference with ‘normal’ SEO when you do SEO for restaurants? No there is not. All you need is good keyword targeting and informative, original content that will intrigue your audience. The recipe for a successful SEO campaign is the same but with a focus on location and food.

What do we mean by the same SEO recipe? You need to do the same tasks for drafting out a strong SEO strategy, no matter if it’s for a restaurant, a real-estate business, or a car wash. First things first, make sure your website is easily editable and mobile-friendly. I will repeat it a few more times in this article, but otherwise, you’re wasting your efforts.

To get started you need good keyword research, make sure you know where the opportunities are and where the keyword gaps are with your competitors. You probably also need local targets for Google Maps, reviews to increase your map ranking, a strong backlink profile, and fun, qualitative, up-to-date content.

How can restaurants invest in SEO?

There are a lot of different options on how you could invest in SEO, each requiring a specific budget or time commitment. Some tasks, like keeping your website’s key information up-to-date, actively engaging on social media, and maintaining your Google Maps Business Profile, are manageable in-house with a bit of dedication. However, for more delicate aspects, you might consider hiring a professional to ensure everything is executed perfectly.

This involves not just updating your online presence but also engaging with customer reviews and ensuring your listing details are consistent across various platforms. Investing in your website is also critical. A mobile-friendly design and fast loading times are not just about user experience; they are factors that search engines consider when ranking your site. Regularly updating your site with fresh content, like blog posts about menu specials or community events, can significantly boost your SEO.

Remember, SEO is not just about attracting traffic; it’s about drawing the right audience to your restaurant. Regular SEO audits can help identify areas for improvement, ensuring your investment is not just a cost, but a crucial strategy of your restaurant’s growth.

Social Media for restaurants

Instagram, facebook, TikTok, … Besides images and videos you now also have the famous “Shorts”. Which are short videos of you doing something unique or giving your audience an original peek behind the scenes. You need to make sure you give them a unique view of your business, that’s fun to watch and engaging.

Having a fun social media profile increases the chances people will engage with your brand, click through to your website, or share your posts with their friends.

Email Marketing for restaurants

Engaging with your customers extends beyond the walls of your eatery. Many touchpoints, such as reservation processes or digital receipts, offer a golden opportunity to connect deeper by inviting customers to opt-in to your newsletter. By incorporating a simple subscription checkbox, you turn routine interactions into gateways for ongoing communication.

Leverage this connection by celebrating special occasions like birthdays with exclusive offers, updating them on the latest menu innovations or establishment news, and delighting them with unexpected deals. The key to a successful email marketing strategy lies in personalization – crafting offers that resonate on an individual level.

Some good restaurant email marketing ideas: Birthday offers, seasonal menus, and specials, loyalty program invitations, exclusive events or tastings, behind-the-scenes insights, and feedback/review requests, …

The power of Google Maps

Google Maps is indispensable for a restaurant business. Many people search for restaurants through Google Maps. Either to discover your unique diner or to find contact details, opening hours, pictures of the food or interior, customer reviews, … The most obvious one is also to offer route guidance from their location to your place.

Securing a robust backlink profile is a cornerstone of SEO success, and this holds true for the culinary world as well. The more external websites link to yours, the better. You can share incredible recipes of your food with the rest of the world and hope other websites will pick it up and write about it, but for restaurants, there are a few additional tricks.

You can benefit from online directories and platforms, such as Yelp, Google Maps, and Uber Eats, to not only enhance visibility but also direct traffic back to your site. Expand your online presence by ensuring your establishment is discoverable on tourist-centric apps like TripAdvisor, and seek recommendations from local accommodations, positioning your eatery as a top dining destination for travelers.

Collaborate with influencers and food bloggers who resonate with your brand. By inviting them to experience what your restaurant has to offer, their shared experiences on social media and personal blogs can serve as compelling endorsements.

Don’t overlook opportunities to get featured on platforms like Airbnb Experiences or to garner mentions on booking sites like Booking.com. Each digital nod towards your restaurant not only enhances your SEO but also cements your status as a must-visit locale in your area.

Tips to score backlinks for your restaurant: Host or sponsor local events or press releases to share news about your restaurant’s unique offerings or special events.

The European Union has laid the foundation for e-invoicing in public procurement with Directive 2014/55/EU, in which the Peppol network (Pan-European Public Procurement On-Line) plays an important role. This network ensures a secure and standardized exchange of electronic documents between companies and governments.

Certain obligations for e-invoicing are also expected for SMEs in Belgium:

However, these obligations differ per country and may depend on the size of the SME. For Belgium, you can find a nice article about PEPPOl & e-invoicing through KROTON Accountancy. The government will assist you in your transfer from your usual PDF invoice, to the new e-invoicing that will be mandatory by 2026.

Besides the government and your accountant, also Weichie.com can assist in your transfer from regular invoicing to the new way of e-invoicing. Contact us for more info!

Everything you need to know about eInvoicing via the PEPPOL Network

Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement Online) is an electronic network designed to exchange digital documents such as invoices and purchase orders between organizations and governments in a secure and structured way. Here are the most important aspects SMEs need to know about Peppol:

What is Peppol?

Peppol is a network that uses standards and protocols that make it easier to exchange documents. Regardless of the software used by the companies (Interoperability), they can send electronic invoices to other companies and to the government. Rules can also be imposed automatically, such as making a purchase order number mandatory. If this is not present on an invoice, it will be returned immediately.

The Peppol network itself consists of Access Points. Only these access points can place and retrieve documents on the network. (send and receive). So as soon as you want to start sending out electronic invoices, or as soon as your company needs to receive electronic invoices, you will have to go through such an access point.

The Peppol network can do much more than just send out invoices. It is intended to allow you to share all types of secure documents with other companies and government agencies in a simple and fast way.

Weichie.com itself is not a Peppol Access Point, but it does have a permanent partner on which our Weichie.biz platform runs. The Weichie.biz platform is a kind of mailbox where our customers can easily consult the status of their invoices and send them via the Peppol Network.

How does Peppol work?

Your company must be registered on the Peppol network. You can do this by registering with a service provider that offers an access point. Here we try to offer a simplified method with Weichie.com, which carries out all these registrations for you behind the scenes. For example, you can use the Weichie.biz platform to receive and send all your e-invoices, and we work behind the scenes with our PEPPOL partner to correctly register your company and send all your documents securely over the PEPPOL network .

As mentioned, the documents must be converted to a standardized format (UBL) that complies with the European standard. You can also easily do this via our BIZ platform, and again we take care of the conversion behind the scenes. This way you can keep an overview of all your electronic invoices in a clear and organized manner.

Benefits of Peppol

The first step is always the biggest. You are ‘mandatory’ to get rid of your current system that you have been using for years without any problems. Now they suddenly say that you should start sending e-invoices. A new, unknown term and after some research it turns out to be a bit more complicated than expected.

The purpose of electronic invoicing via PEPPOL is to ensure a more efficient operation for the exchange of important documents. This allows invoices to be processed faster, or if something is missing such as a PO number or a reference, the invoice is automatically returned with a message that something is still missing. This way you can be sure that the recipient actually receives your invoice when it was received and that everything on the invoice is correct to make a payment.

Both sender and recipient can also access all exchanged invoices via the PEPPOL network. This means you have lower follow-up costs because the processing of the invoices happens automatically.

There is also compliance according to European and national regulations, which means that all invoices are put in a standardized format.

We recommend that you seek guidance in a timely manner and register your company on the PEPPOL network. So that you don’t have to register for this in a hurry. With the right guidance, you can switch systems in no time.

Why Peppol is important for SMEs in Belgium

More specifically for Belgium, e-invoicing will become mandatory for government contracts. The Belgian government requires that all suppliers send their invoices via Peppol.

As more and more European countries make electronic invoicing mandatory, Peppol is becoming the standard for secure and standardized document exchange. So the network will not only be used for invoices.

SMEs that already use Peppol and e-invoicing can work more efficiently and are better prepared for future legal requirements. We can only recommend that you prepare yourself for this before you suddenly receive your first electronic invoice and you suddenly have to connect your company to the Peppol network.

Electronic invoicing is currently only mandatory for invoices to and from the government, but it will soon also become the standard for all B2B invoices and documents exchanged between companies.

Implementation of e-invoicing with Peppol

Work with a Peppol service provider who is familiar with Peppol and can help integrate the access point with existing systems. We are happy to respond to this at Weichie.com. We are not an access point ourselves, but we are happy to guide and onboard our customers in a simple way on the Peppol network.

Weichie.com can also advise on implementing e-invoicing in your current systems. So that you can continue to work in your existing way as much as possible and the switch to electronic invoices is actually self-evident.

Conclusion

Peppol is a safe system that helps companies work more efficiently and comply with new regulations, making it important for SMEs to respond to this in a timely manner. You don’t like to be surprised by a sudden change in your current way of working. So if you start this in time, you won’t have to drop everything when you receive your first electronic invoice.

Websites are a passion for a digital agency. We kept a list of all rememberable ecommerce websites we came across the past month to keep in mind.

10. Clothing Brand Website (concept)

Homepage design mockup by Dibas Sarkar on Dribble. Bummer it is just concept design and not a live store. I would love to see it in action or animated, but the mockup is fancy enough to join my inspiration list.

9. La Faurie

The website itself is not always clear to me, but my focus here is on the animations. The page transitions are smooth and fast and the single pages have scrolling interactions as well, like parallax and moving text. The Category section with the hovering images is also a nice plus.

8. Mosaert

A very classy store from a very classy man. I didn’t expect anything less from the artist and musician Stromae. Fancy hero slider and smooth responses to user interactions.

7. Olivia Palermo

Sold for the animated homepage-hero and the way the navigation transforms to a sticky-nav on scroll. The shop has an original way to navigate through the product collections and the single-product page is exceptionally minimal.

6. Home of the Classics

A beautiful Adidas sneaker collection website. Smooth page distorted transitions when navigating through the different types of shoes. The website doesn’t have much content, so the overall web animation really lift the project for me.

5. Helias Oils

On this website it’s the homepage again that makes me fall in love with it. The home-slider on scroll is super smooth and the transition effect is just brilliant. If you navigate through the website and scroll on the product pages, all animations are just spot-on!

4. Editions

Simple, clean, beautiful. Not a lot of content, but subtle animations on page navigation and even on cursor-location. This project also has an interesting choice for shopping cart icons and

3. Guzema Fine Jewelry

A well done digital experience! From loading screen to page-scroll and image sliders. Very, very fancy. Maybe a little overwhelming at some points, but still performant.

2. Talia

Impressive homepage. Impressive catalog menu. Impressive single product page. Impressive performance. A brilliant webshop design.

1. Marie Weber

My all time favourite webshop. Original homepage effect and beautiful product shots. Performance on point, but the loading screen can be a little annoying on slow internet connections. Anyway, I really love the simplicity of the website and the amazingly clean and minimal animations. A winner for me!

Looking back at this collection of beautiful webshops, I do believe front-end development is a different kind of art. The possibilities that we can do with headless storefronts and animation libraries like GSAP and threejs are promising for all future ecommerce stores.

Make sure to have a look at our own ecommerce projects!

Even with the rise of social media, a website remains a very important communication tool. When you have a website made, the power is mainly in having all your online channels communicate with each other. This way, you lose the least amount of time and your Facebook or LinkedIn page stays up-to-date with the data you change on your website.

Table of contents

Purpose of having a website made

When you have a website created, the purpose of your website is for your business or organization to better communicate with your customers. Communicate the vision and goals of your business. A website should exude confidence and you should show your customers (and competitors) that you know what you’re doing. If your opening hours are different on Facebook, on Google Maps, and on your website, you’re not immediately exuding confidence.

Building a website is also important for accessibility. Not just for displaying a contact form or your contact information, but make sure your customers can easily find what they are coming for on your website. When you have a website built, the net purpose is to minimize your customers contacting you.

Reason to have a new website created

There are several reasons to choose a new website. The most common one that people come to us for is an outdated design. The current website no longer represents the quality of the company and is therefore unclear to visitors. The website is too messy and the users don’t really know where to go to find certain information. Or they are overloaded with information and leave the website.

Sometimes it is also possible that the backend of the website is outdated. If you can no longer maintain the website yourself, it’s time for a new website. Nobody likes to work in a cluttered environment, for sites this is no different. And if no one wants to update the website, it quickly becomes outdated and you, as a company, lose the potential power of your online signboard.

Finally, for outdated websites, besides the look and feel, there are often other factors that will decide whether a new website is really needed or not: Performance. If your website loads slowly or is not properly visible on mobile devices. This is becoming more and more an important issue these days. Especially with a view to improving the SEO score of your website.

Questions about having your website created?

Will I be the owner of my website?

Upon delivery of the website, we deploy the project to a server of your choice. If you already have a hosting provider, we move the website to your live server. Don’t worry if you don’t have a hosting provider yet, we can provide that too. But you are never obligated to buy hosting from us.

Will I be the owner of my domain name?

All domain names we register or have to take over, are registered directly in the name of the customer. We never put a domain name on our own name, so you can do what you want with your domain name. Whether you are already the owner of your own domain name can always check DNS Belgium – for .be domain extensions.

What does making a website cost?

We do not have ready-made templates that we resell to our clients. Each website gets a customized jacket, so you can be happy with the result.

How long does it take to create a website?

At Weichie.com we usually count with a lead time of 2 months. This is from the kick-off meeting, design, development, testing, and finally delivery to your server of choice.

Do I have to be located in Brussels to have a website created by Weichie.com?

Of course not. Physical meetings can always take place at our office in Brussels, but we can also leave our home. In most cases, a conference call via Teams will also suffice.

Can I customize and manage my own website?

Definitely! You’ll get a free crash course from us after the website is delivered on how to manage your website yourself afterward. Of course, we don’t disappear after completion of the project, we are still available to help! But this way you don’t have to wait for us for every little thing.

Is there aftercare at the end of a project?

We provide 14 days of free support after the delivery of a project. We are convinced that our projects work thoroughly after delivery and solve all problems within the first 2 weeks after launch. The launch of a new website is usually accompanied by an explosion in website traffic, so nothing can go wrong here

After delivery, a maintenance contract is completely non-binding.

Yes, we can provide hosting as well as domain names and emails. Everything we register is put in the client’s name. This way you are not stuck with Weichie.com, later on, should something go wrong in our cooperation.

During the kick-off meeting, we go through everything that the new website should be able to do. Afterwards we make design proposals on which you can give feedback. This way, we include a number of feedback rounds to make sure that the new website will look exactly as you want it to.

Can I only have a WordPress website created?

No, we are not jack-of-all-trades but have a lot of experience with Open Source platforms like WordPress, Drupal, and Craft. In addition, for e-commerce, we have also specialized in Shopify (Plus) and for headless applications, we can work with Prismic.

These are content management systems we already have experience with but are certainly not limited to.

Have a website created? How do we get started

The first step, of course, is an introductory meeting. Who are you, what do you do and why would you like a new website? What bothers you most about the current website? So that we can be sure not to copy the same defects to the new site.

The first meeting is non-committal and we need it to give us a specific timeline and price. Afterward, we discuss your website in more detail so that we also know in which direction the designs should go. It is not only important to know what your website needs to do now, but we also want to know what your plans are for the website tomorrow and the day after.

Do you want to build a website?

The choice of digital agency you go with depends on several factors. How were you initially helped? What was the expertise of the digital agency like? What are their prices, and when can they get started? Do they use an open-source platform or do I hang with them with a custom platform? What are the startup costs and monthly fees? Is the desired deadline achievable?

The chances of you wanting to have a website built are pretty high. But the builder of your website also becomes your digital partner.
