Web developer in Brussels
El-Sultan Web is the founder-led practice of Abed El-Sultan: business websites and custom web applications, built with AI-accelerated engineering and verified by automated tests, for clients across Brussels, Belgium and the European Union.
5 live client websitesShort answer
El-Sultan Web is a founder-led web development practice in Brussels, run by Abed El-Sultan. It builds business websites and custom web applications — payments, bookings, portals and admin back-offices — in English, French, Dutch and Arabic with right-to-left support, for clients across the Brussels-Capital Region, Belgium and the wider European Union.
One accountable builder, not an account manager
Most Brussels web agencies place a project manager between you and whoever writes the code. Here there is one person: the same person scopes the work, builds it, tests it, deploys it and answers the phone afterwards. Nothing is briefed down a chain and nothing is subcontracted without being named.
The trade-off is honest. A solo practice has no bench to surge onto a rush, and it says so before a project starts rather than after. What it does have is AI-accelerated engineering, which is what makes a donation platform or a trilingual restaurant site economical at this size.
Four languages, including Arabic right-to-left
Brussels is a bilingual region inside a trilingual country, and its businesses serve communities in more languages than that. Sites here ship in English, French, Dutch and Arabic, with proper locale routing, hreflang alternates and full right-to-left layout where a language needs it — not a translation widget bolted onto an English site.
Arabic is the part most suppliers quietly decline. Right-to-left is a layout problem, not a text problem: mirrored navigation, correct logical properties, numerals, form fields and icons. Three live client platforms run it in production.
Working across the Brussels-Capital Region and beyond
Clients sit across the nineteen communes and well outside them. Work happens remotely by default, with meetings in person in Brussels where a project genuinely benefits from being in the room — a launch review, a handover, a first conversation about a platform.
Nothing about the delivery depends on proximity. Staging links, recorded walkthroughs and written scopes mean a client in Ghent, Antwerp or Liège sees exactly what a client in Ixelles sees.
The work itself
Every link is a live site built for a paying client in or around Brussels. Open them, click through them and inspect the markup. No commercial outcome is claimed for any of them.
Three products on one platform — public site, Academy e-learning and a /manage back-office with bookings, e-signature contracts and CRM — running on Supabase with more than 20 edge functions and push-to-deploy CI gated on database migrations.
A full Stripe giving stack for UK Registered Charity 1208169 — one-off and monthly donations, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Gift Aid — alongside a unit-tested Zakat calculator with live Nisab prices, a custom admin CMS, role-based auth and 38 versioned database migrations.
A custom SEO pre-render build step, a full JSON-LD menu and hreflang alternates across three languages, shipped through a dev → test → production pipeline for a Lebanese restaurant in Anderlecht.
Stripe ticketing through both Elements and Checkout, an applications CRM and Supabase edge functions behind a singing-competition platform with EN/NL/FR locale routing.
Music, live dates, booking enquiries and a merch store on one bilingual platform, built with full right-to-left support throughout.
What it costs, and how that is decided
Scope is written before a price is given. Websites are quoted against a defined tier; platforms are scoped through a paid discovery phase that ends in a written scope and a fixed estimate, so the boundary of the build is known before anyone commits.
No ranking, traffic or revenue outcome is ever promised, in a proposal or on this site. What is committed to is working, tested software, delivered through staged environments, with the accounts and the code in your name.

Questions specific to working here and in these languages. Project questions about timelines, ownership and what happens after launch are on the FAQ page.
Yes. Clients sit across the Brussels-Capital Region, the rest of Belgium and the wider European Union. Delivery is remote by default, with in-person meetings in Brussels where a project benefits from them. Nothing in the process depends on being nearby.
Yes, and in Arabic with full right-to-left layout. Languages are implemented with proper locale routing, hreflang alternates and translated structured data, not a translation widget. Professional review of translated copy is included in the relevant tiers.
A founder-led practice: one accountable builder rather than an agency with account managers, and not a freelancer subcontracting the work on. The same person scopes, builds, tests, deploys and supports what ships. Where photography or video is needed, trusted production partners are named and quoted separately.
AI coding agents write most of the code, which is the economic mechanism that makes this scope viable for one person. The specification, the review, the testing, the security model and the accountability stay human. Nothing reaches production without review, and every project ships under automated test coverage through staged environments.
Yes. Domain, hosting and Stripe accounts are opened in your organisation’s name and worked in, never owned. At handover you receive the codebase, written documentation and a walkthrough, so another developer could take over without permission from anyone here.
Project fit
Twenty focused minutes: what you need built, in which languages, and what a prototype-first timeline looks like for it. If the project is not a fit for this practice, you will hear that plainly.
