A small studio. On purpose.

Clicqo isn't an agency with account managers. It's Patrick, a few trusted specialists and a workshop where we also make our own software. Quick to act, and you always talk to the person who builds it.

Patrick van Marsbergen

Hi, I'm Patrick.

I've been building software for almost 20 years. As a developer, designer, product owner and tech lead. For five years I was responsible for technology at Infowijs, where we built a platform that handles over a million messages a day.

With Clicqo I do what I enjoy most: getting to know a business, understanding what's getting in the way, and building something that genuinely makes it easier. I live and work in Weesp.

How we work

Why first

We don't ask what you want to build, but what you want to achieve. Sometimes it turns out you don't need to build anything.

Start small

We start with the smallest version that already delivers something. Only when that works do we build further.

Honest, even when it's awkward

If something won't help you, we say so. Even if it costs us the job.

The trusted specialists

When a project needs more hands or deeper expertise, I bring in people I know and trust. You always keep one point of contact.

  • Patrick van Marsbergen

    Founder, product and technology

    From first conversation to working software. Your point of contact.

  • Gaya Kessler

    Over 20 years of experience, strong in complex interfaces. Joins when a project needs more hands.

  • Tozetta

    Security

    From architecture reviews to GDPR questions. Makes sure what we build is actually secure.

From our workshop

What we build for you, we try on ourselves first.

Alongside client work we make our own products, for business owners with a shop, newspaper distribution and the neighbourhood. So we know what it takes to run software, not just to deliver it.

Let's find out where it hurts.

A free 15-minute call. You'll know straight away whether we can help. And if we can't, I'll tell you.
