Frequently asked questions
Your own website plus requests, quote and pricing modules, a customer management system, scheduling and invoices, all in the same system. What comes in through your website is instantly in your admin. No separate tools, no retyping: one place for your whole business.
Vakmeister starts at EUR 29 per month plus a one-off EUR 99 setup fee, excluding VAT. No hidden costs: that monthly amount is everything you pay, including your website and its maintenance. The pricing page shows what each package contains.
It covers delivering your website and system ready to use: your company details, your services, your working area and your house style. You do not have to build anything yourself. After that you only pay the monthly amount and everything is taken care of.
No, that is entirely up to you. Prefer one all-in price for the whole job? Put down a single amount with a short description. Rather show everything: materials, hours, call-out costs and VAT as separate lines with quantities and rates? That works too. You price per m², per metre, per hour, per item or with a fixed amount, and you can switch per customer and per quote. Vakmeister turns it into a calm, professional quote the customer signs with one click.
Yes. Vakmeister is built for craft businesses: painters, plasterers, building and construction companies, installers, roofers and more. Your website and modules follow your craft, your services and your working area, so customers see straight away what they can call you for.
No. You pick a professional design that suits your craft, fill in your details and your website is live. Everything works in clear steps and is built to use without technical knowledge, including your scheduling and invoices.
You create a free account and walk through small steps: company details, contact and working area, house style, a website design for your craft, your services and your package. That gets you live without any fuss.
Usually the same day. Create a free account, walk through the steps and your website is online. No waiting for an installer or a developer: you set the pace.
Yes. You connect an existing domain name or use a new one, and your current phone number keeps working. What you have now stays; Vakmeister is built around it.
Yes. You can connect your existing domain to Vakmeister so visitors stay on the same address. You build up in Vakmeister at your own pace and switch over when you are ready. Nothing gets lost.
Yes. You start on your own and add extra users when your crew grows. Everyone works in the same system, so quotes, scheduling and invoices always sit in one place.
No. You pay monthly and can stop at any time. Your data and your customers stay yours. We want to keep you as a customer because you choose us again each month, not because you are locked in.
Yes. Your data is stored safely on European hosting and only you and your team see your customers, quotes and finances. You always have access to your own data and stay the owner of your company information.
Because we do not build every website from scratch. Your site runs on one platform that we maintain for craft businesses: the designs, hosting, security and updates are shared, while your texts, photos and services are your own. So you pay no one-off agency fee of thousands of euros. Hosting, maintenance, updates and the link with your requests, quotes and invoices are simply part of your monthly amount.
Wix and WordPress are solid website builders, but they are made for everyone rather than for craft businesses. You get a website, and you arrange your requests, quotes, scheduling and invoices in separate tools that you connect and maintain yourself. Vakmeister is one complete system for craftsmen: website, customer management, quotes with trade-specific pricing, scheduling and invoicing in the same place. A request from your website lands straight in your admin and becomes a quote and an invoice in a few clicks. We set everything up and keep it running, so you need no plugins, updates or technical knowledge.
Security and privacy
- Your data sits on secure servers inside the EU.
- All connections are encrypted (https) and your data is stored encrypted.
- Only you and your own team members see your customers, quotes and invoices.
- Daily backups, so you never lose work.
- You stay the owner of your data; you can request or delete it at any time.
- We never sell your data to anyone.
