ChatBuildChatBuild or JouwWeb: which fits you?
Both Dutch, both affordable. The difference is who does the work: you behind a laptop, or us through the chat.
In short
JouwWeb is a solid drag-and-drop builder if you enjoy tinkering and have a laptop nearby. ChatBuild is for owners who would rather not: you describe your business in a chat message and we build and maintain the site. Prefer being the builder yourself? Pick JouwWeb. Just want it handled? Pick ChatBuild.
| What you get | ChatBuild | JouwWeb |
|---|---|---|
| How your site gets made | You describe or record what you do; we often build a first version within 24 hours. | You pick a template yourself and drag blocks into place. |
| What you need | Just a chat app on your phone. | A laptop or tablet and a few evenings. |
| Writing the copy | We write it from your story; you approve it. | You write it yourself, or fill in sample text. |
| Making a change | One message: "set haircuts to €32,50" — depending on your plan, live the same day or within two working days. | Log in, find the page, edit, publish. |
| Required legal pages | Privacy policy, cookie notice and terms are included as standard. | Available as a component, but you fill in and maintain them yourself. |
| Your domain | Your own .nl domain in your name, included — you take it with you if you leave. | Your own domain is possible, depending on your plan. |
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to what people ask most here.
Can I switch if I already have a JouwWeb site?
Yes. Send us the link to your current site; we use its copy and services as a starting point and your domain moves with you. Your old site stays online until the new one is ready.
Is ChatBuild more expensive than building it yourself?
Per month we're close. The difference is your own time: with a builder you invest several evenings setting it up and then keeping it current. With us that work is in the price.
Can I still make changes myself later?
You handle changes through the chat, which stays the fastest route. Prefer a screen? The dashboard lets you edit copy, prices and opening hours without us.
