Roaring & Gentle
De Houtbewaarder is a craftsman in the most literal sense — he saws logs on location, turns bowls on a pole lathe and forges his own tools. That deserves a website that reflects it.
I built a WordPress site with WooCommerce for his hand-forged turning hooks and workshop registrations.
Since 2016, Zwijgen is geen optie has published honest, long-form conversations with people who do not oversimplify the world. Winner of the Human Rights Prize. Viewed and listened to millions of times.
I designed and built a new WordPress site: readable, focused, and built to last. Their shop runs as a separate Shopify instance, seamlessly integrated.
Marinka and Hannes are a digital project manager and product designer based in Bruges. Small in scale, sharp in execution. Their site had to communicate exactly that — nothing more.
I built their studio website in Craft CMS: minimal, precise, without fluff.
A nearly century-old modernist building in Beernem where lamps and televisions were sold for generations. Marinka and Hannes — the same duo behind Mrs. & Mr. — turned it into a workplace: warm, focused, intentionally a bit out of the way.
The Craft CMS website had to carry that same atmosphere online. No corporate meeting-room rental vibe, but a place you deliberately travel to for deep thinking.
I'm Dieter Peirs — designer, developer and part-time lecturer at a university in Ghent, where I teach web design and development to the next generation of experts.

I have 22 years of experience with designing and building websites, from brand to code, always bespoke. My background covers brand identity, front-end development and product design. I work without templates, because each project is different. And I build as light and accessible as possible, because a website that loads slowly or doesn't work for everyone is not good design — no matter how beautiful it looks.
Outside of the screen, I build furniture and make things. The same way: figuring out what something is for, removing everything that is not needed, and making the rest as good as possible.
I take on a small number of projects each year so every one gets proper attention. Most clients come to me for one of three things.
Identity and website designed together from scratch. For businesses starting fresh or ready for a real overhaul - not a patch job.
You have a brand. You need a website that does it justice - fast, clear, and built on a platform you own and can manage yourself.
