# Local first

`a pleasant view` is based in Amsterdam‑West, working mostly across West and the Jordaan.

Being nearby keeps things practical. I know the rhythm of local work. And when something needs attention, I can move quickly.

---

## Why local matters

Local isn't a marketing angle. It's a practical one.

I know the pace and patterns of small businesses nearby. Communication stays direct, and a small update doesn't turn into a week-long exchange.

And when it helps, I can simply be closer to the work.

### Remote, when it fits

Most of the work is local, but remote can work too, especially when the work is well-defined and communication stays clear.

## Which neighborhood?

The service area covers all of [[amsterdam-west|Amsterdam-West]] and the Jordaan. Pick your neighborhood for more:

- [[de-baarsjes|De Baarsjes]]
- [[westerpark|Westerpark]]
- [[bos-en-lommer|Bos en Lommer]]

{# TODO replace with real local example #}

Think of small businesses around the corner: a shop, a studio, a sole proprietorship that wants its online side to stay calm.

## Experience

Over fourteen years in digital work.

A lot of it happens behind the scenes: keeping websites consistent, handling small fixes, making sure the details don't get in the way of running a business.

Reliability counts more, for me, than growth metrics.
