The Week · agencies, studios, accounting firms

What you are missing is not an extra pair of hands. It is the decision.

Five days in which I settle what gets built and what we refuse to build, then put it online myself — under your name or mine. Twenty years of service design, one person from start to finish, and not a single line of code written by hand.

Who I sell it to

Web agencies, design studios, accounting firms and incubators that already have the client, the signed budget and the VAT number — and who, faced with a project that overflows what they can or want to do, have only two answers: turn it down, or carry it in-house and lose a quarter to it.

I am the third answer. You never have to introduce me to your client; I appear nowhere, and I never contact them afterwards.

This is not for someone with an idea and no company. If that is you, the door is elsewhere: the digital product offer.

What I settle before drawing anything

A project rarely dies of a bad screen. It dies of a scope nobody dared to close. Monday is for that, and it is the part of the work no tool does for me:

Decided on Monday

  • ·Who the real user is, and which of their actions must work on the first try.
  • ·What must exist on Friday, and what waits for another week.
  • ·What we refuse to build, written down, so nobody reopens it on Wednesday.
  • ·Where the money goes, if there is any: what the product charges for, and how.
  • ·What will still need maintaining in eighteen months — and who will maintain it.

Why it concerns you

  • ·Twenty years of service design is twenty years of trade-offs held in front of a client who wanted everything.
  • ·It is the one part of the craft whose price is not collapsing: producing is becoming free, deciding is not.
  • ·And it is what makes one week enough. Without the trade-offs, five days is just a sprint that overruns.

The five days, hour by hour if you want

Sold in time, not in promises. You know when it starts and when it stops.

Monday

We close the scope. An hour with you, an hour with your client if you want. By midday, one written page says what will be online on Friday and what will not. You approve it before I draw anything.

Tuesday — Wednesday

Screens and product. I design and I build. You get an address that changes every day, not a progress report.

Thursday

Going live. Repository, hosting, domain, payment if the product charges for anything. Everything is created in the name you choose — yours or your client's — on day one, not at the end.

Friday

Acceptance. One call, your list of corrections, the corrections done that same day. Then I hand over the keys and the write-up, and I leave.

What you get on the fifth evening

Included

  • Monday's scope page: what was decided, and what was refused.
  • The product online, at the address you choose.
  • The code repository and the hosting, in the name you chose, with the credentials.
  • Written assignment of the rights to the code, on receipt of payment.
  • The write-up: what is online, what is still open, and what it costs to run each month.

Not included

  • Maintenance after the week. We can discuss it separately, or you put whoever you like on it: the repository is yours.
  • The client's content, photos and copy.
  • Third-party subscriptions — domain, hosting, database. They are in their name and they pay for them.
  • Any guarantee of commercial results. I sell five days of work, not sales.
  • A scope that changes mid-week. What is written on Monday is what is delivered on Friday.

How I produce, since the question always comes

I do not code. I direct agents, and I review everything. That is what lets one person hold five days end to end — and it is also why deciding matters more than producing: a beginner with the same tools makes the same page in an hour, they do not make the same trade-off.

This site is the demonstration: hand-written HTML, no library, no cookie, no external script, nothing to audit and nothing that will break in eighteen months because a package changed version. What I deliver is made of the same material.

What I can show you

A site delivered by hi-def, online, that you can open right now:

Seven signed recommendations, July 2026, on my LinkedIn profile.

And what I cannot show you: an agency that has already bought The Week. None has. You would be the first, and it is written at the top of this page because you would find out anyway.

The questions people ask

Are you going to take my client?

No, and it is written on the order form: I do not approach your clients, during or after. You are my client, they are yours. The whole point of the model for me is that you come back.

Five days, really?

Five days for what is written on Monday at midday. If the scope is too big, I say so on Monday and we cut it, or we take two weeks — never after the fact. I would rather lose the sale than promise a deadline I will not hold.

What if I do not like the result?

You see an address that changes every day, and Friday's acceptance call exists for that. You only pay the second half once the product is online and accepted.

Who owns the code?

You, or your client — you choose on Monday. The repository and the hosting are created in that name on day one, and the assignment of rights is in writing. You are never locked in with me.

Do you work alone?

Yes. That is why only one week is sold at a time, and why I sell time rather than a fixed-price outcome. You know exactly what you are buying.

How do we pay?

On a Belgian invoice, by bank transfer. 50% on order, 50% on going live. No card, no account to create, no platform between us.

Twenty minutes, and you will know

Tell me what is on your plate. If I cannot help, I will say so during the call — it saves me a wasted week as much as it saves you one.
