May 14, 2026 — We kennen het allemaal: je klant wil ‘iets moois’, jij levert het af, iedereen blij. Of toch niet? We zijn als webdesigners niet alleen mooimakers, maar ook meedenkers.

Je mag duidelijk maken hoe je met slimme designkeuzes websitebezoekers in beweging krijgt én hoe je opdrachtgevers helpt om verder te kijken dan hun eigen wensenlijstje.

In deze talk neem ik je mee in mijn aanpak als webdesigner en trainer:

Hoe je met simpele UX/UI-principes en een beetje psychologie websites bouwt die niet alleen mooi zijn, maar vooral werken – voor je klant én hun bezoekers.
Concrete voorbeelden uit mijn eigen praktijk: van kleine tweaks tot grote eye-openers (en ja, inclusief fuck-ups waar je van leert).
Hoe je als designer de stap maakt van uitvoerder naar strategisch adviseur. Dus: hoe voer je het gesprek, stel je grenzen én laat je je waarde zien, zodat klanten naar jóu luisteren (en niet andersom).

Webdesign is zoveel méér dan pixels schuiven – het is gedragsbeïnvloeding én adviseren in één.

May 14, 2026 — De meeste bedrijven focussen nog altijd op groei via acquisitie. Maar echte groei komt pas wanneer je bouwt aan wat je al hebt: je bestaande klanten.

In deze talk laat ik zien hoe je een Retention First-denkwijze integreert in je bedrijfsvoering – van strategie en cultuur tot processen en klantinteractie.

Aan de hand van concrete voorbeelden uit MKB, dienstverlening en SaaS laat ik zien hoe bedrijven klantbehoud systematisch kunnen aanpakken.

Denk aan signalering van verloop, retentie als KPI, het ontwerpen van frictieloze klantreizen en het empoweren van teams om verantwoordelijkheid te nemen voor behoud.

Geen trucjes of loyalty-campagnes, maar duurzame klantrelaties als fundament voor gezonde, voorspelbare groei.
