Software agency in South Holland
The .NET software your business runs on.
Since 2012 we have designed, built and maintained web applications in C# and .NET. Usually for companies whose existing software can no longer keep up, and who want someone still around to call about it five years from now.

- Prototypes you can actually click through
- Accessibility (WCAG 2.2) from the design up
.NET development
- Blazor, MVC and APIs on C# and .NET 10
- Multi-tenant and Identity integration
- Background processing and event-driven integrations
Hosting and operations
- CI/CD on GitHub or Azure DevOps
- Monitoring, logging and alerting
- Security hardening, backups and restores
SEO and SEA
- Technical SEO and Core Web Vitals
- Measurement plan and tracking (GA4/GTM)
- SEA campaigns and reporting

How we work
How a project runs
Five phases, of which the last one lasts longest.
Scoping
We map what is there, what needs to be added, and where it goes wrong if we misjudge it.
Design
Screens, flows and components are settled before a line of code is written.
Build
Two-week sprints, each ending in something that runs and that you can try yourself.
Release
Live in stages, with monitoring that trips before a user picks up the phone.
Maintenance
The part that lasts longest. Updates, incidents, and the version after this one.

What clients say
Wicoda moves fast and consistently delivers what was agreed — usually more.
Their .NET expertise and pragmatic approach made all the difference in our migration.
Writing
From practice
Notes on .NET, performance and findability.
- A multilingual Blazor site that Google understands A cookie holding the language choice is easy to build, but search engines then only ever see one version. Put the language in the URL and both get indexed.
- Passing Core Web Vitals with a .NET site Scoring green on mobile is rarely about more server capacity. It is almost always about what the browser has to do before anything appears.
- Migrating without a big bang Replacing an old application in one go sounds tidy and almost always goes wrong. A phased migration is slower on paper and faster in practice.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you work on a fixed price or on a time and materials basis?
Both. Scoping and design are usually fixed price, because their size is knowable up front. The build runs on time and materials, with a weekly view of the hours spent.
Can you take over an existing codebase?
Yes. We start with a week-long audit covering risks, deferred maintenance and security. That produces a plan with an order of work, not a rebuild in one go.
Do you also handle hosting and support?
Yes, and it is the larger part of what we do. With an SLA, monitoring and a named contact. Hosting in Azure or on your own servers, whichever fits.
Do you work with clients outside the Netherlands?
Yes. We work in Dutch and English, remote or hybrid, and are used to teams spread across time zones.
Contact
Want to talk about a project?
Call or email. A first half-hour conversation costs nothing and usually already answers whether we are the right fit.
