# Digital services for Amsterdam‑West and the Jordaan

`a pleasant view` is the one-person operation of Cristovao Verstraeten.

Works in Dutch, English, or French. Practical for Amsterdam‑West where teams often mix languages.

Websites, hosting, and the practical IT around them, for a handful of local businesses. I also maintain [[eleventy-baseline|Eleventy Baseline]], the foundation this site runs on.

I keep the client list deliberately small for local work, and offer support to teams building on Baseline.

## Being nearby makes a difference

A quick update, a domain renewal, a printer acting up. The kind of work that's hard to scope and easy to handle when you can stop by.

That's why I can answer the phone, pull your setup from memory, and not disappear for weeks at a time.
