# KernWeb (full version)

> KernWeb is the web division of KERN-IT, a Belgian software engineering agency based in Brussels since 2012. We build fully custom, conversion-focused websites with no templates.

- Language: English
- Short version: https://kernweb.be/llms_en.txt

## Identity
- Name: KernWeb (web division of KERN-IT SRL)
- Parent company: KERN-IT SRL, Brussels, founded in 2012
- Address: Rue Belliard 2A, 1040 Brussels, Belgium
- Contact: info@kern-it.be, +32 2 219 42 60
- Tagline: "Your website, built to convert"

## Positioning
- A website is an investment, not an expense: we do not deliver a pretty page, we design a platform that turns visitors into leads.
- Most clients come to us for their second website, when they are done with templates: 100% unique design, client-owned code, architecture built to last.
- SEO foundations (structure, semantic markup, performance, sitemap, structured data) are built into the construction process, with no ranking promises.

## Packages
- Start: from EUR 5,000 excl. VAT. No-code or AI-generated site, designer-supervised, unlimited pages on standard templates, 1 language, live in 2-3 weeks.
- Business (most popular): from EUR 12,000 excl. VAT. Custom Wagtail site, 8 custom-designed page templates, up to 15 reusable content blocks, unlimited pages, 1 language (more as options), live in about 12 weeks. The client owns the code.
- Premium: from EUR 20,000 excl. VAT. Advanced custom Wagtail, 10-12 page templates, multilingual included, reinforced design direction, custom integrations and modules, live in 12-16 weeks.
- All packages include managed hosting for the first year and CMS training.
- Note: pages are unlimited on a real CMS; packages differ by the number of custom-designed page templates.

## Technology
- Wagtail CMS, open source, built on Django (Python): used by Google, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the UK's NHS and 60+ French State websites.
- Practised by the team since 2015: security (no plugin sprawl), durability, editorial autonomy, native multilingual support.

## Sectors
- Accounting, architecture, real estate, print shops, nonprofits (Kern4Good rate), recruitment, wellness, telecom and IT, engineering firms, care homes, horeca, culture, and Belgian SMEs at large
- A dedicated page per sector on the site, with references and answers to the trade's questions
- Clients outside Belgium welcome (France, Switzerland, Luxembourg...): projects run remotely, intra-EU invoicing under the reverse-charge mechanism; the Prime Digitalisation grant remains reserved for Brussels-based companies

## Process (5 steps)
1. Kickoff and analysis: goals, audiences, project scope
2. Design and mockups: visuals and architecture, validated before any code
3. Development: bespoke technical build
4. Testing: full acceptance before going live
5. Launch and training: deployment, 301 redirects and Search Console transfer on redesigns, CMS training

## Funding
- Brussels-Capital Region Digitalisation Grant: 25 to 70% of the project depending on eligibility, capped at EUR 10,000 per beneficiary per year. The application must be filed before the assignment starts (MyBEE platform); KernWeb assists with the paperwork. The decision rests with the administration.

## Proof
- 10+ years of experience, 50+ clients, 100+ projects delivered in Belgium
- 18 five-star Google reviews
