“Most webshops I see don't fail because of their product, but because of their technology and marketing. Entrepreneurs in the Mechelen and Antwerp region were often sold an expensive custom-built site they can't manage themselves. With Shopify we turn that around: you get a sales machine that you fully control yourself.”
ClickForest office
ClickForest builds Shopify webshops for Mechelen businesses that want to grow.
Custom development and considered Shopify architecture require investment. If you're looking for the cheapest 'Shopify webshop built', we're not the right match.
A webshop without a plan for traffic (via Google or social media) rarely delivers returns in the competitive Belgian market.
ClickForest focuses on sustainable e-commerce for local traders with their own brand and control over their inventory.
No-obligation conversation about plans, timing and scalability. Via video call or on-site in the Mechelen region.
A clear journey from intake in Bonheiden to live webshop, with the option to align on-site.

No-obligation strategy call of 30-60 min. Via video call or on-site.
A standard project typically takes four to eight weeks. For complex migrations from Magento or WooCommerce it can be two to three months. ClickForest works with a structured project plan so the go-live date is predictable.
Yes. The build phase of the new Shopify platform takes place in a protected staging environment. The go-live happens outside peak commercial hours to minimise conversion loss.
ClickForest works with a clear redirect plan and monitors the technical SEO foundation of the new webshop. This keeps the risk of losing organic visibility limited. Additional growth opportunities depend on the quality of the new shop, the content and the competition.
After go-live, the entrepreneur only pays the Shopify licence (from approx. €28/month) and any optional apps. ClickForest does not charge a mandatory retainer for basic management. Further optimisation is available via separate maintenance and consulting packages.
No. ClickForest's quote covers design, development, content migration and the initial handover. External subscriptions such as Shopify or premium apps are budgeted upfront in the strategy phase.
That depends on market, product and how actively the shop is used for marketing. ClickForest builds Shopify webshops with conversion in mind, with a correct technical foundation and attention to UX bottlenecks. The speed of payback differs per situation.
Yes. Shopify is one of the most accessible e-commerce platforms in the world. Delivery includes one-on-one training sessions, physically in the Mechelen region or digitally, so the team manages the shop fully autonomously.
ClickForest can integrate common and local payment methods via Shopify Payments or Mollie, such as Bancontact, Payconiq, Apple Pay and iDEAL. Whether a specific local gift voucher like the Mechelenbon is technically feasible depends on the available integration. This is assessed per case.
Yes. ClickForest synchronises via API with Exact Online, Yuki, Teamleader, Odoo and Billit for automatic processing of orders and invoices.
ClickForest works 100% remotely from its home base in Bonheiden. Thanks to its location close to the R6 and N15, ClickForest is within 15 minutes of entrepreneurs in Mechelen or the city centre. Besides Mechelen and Bonheiden, the service area also covers Sint-Katelijne-Waver, Duffel, Lier, Heist-op-den-Berg and Puurs-Sint-Amands.
Client reviews
Why entrepreneurs love working with ClickForest.
Excellent service and a beautiful end result. My website was built professionally, with great attention to detail and user-friendliness. Smooth communication, fast execution and a very pleasant collaboration. Definitely recommended!!!
From the very first conversation I immediately felt a connection with Frederiek. The passion and dedication he puts into his work and projects has genuinely moved me on more than one occasion. He has a wealth of experience and knowledge, and that really comes through! He is also open to dialogue and always stays close to the ball, making every small step feel like a giant leap forward. What impresses me most is his long-term vision. From the very beginning of our collaboration you can feel that he is not just out to deliver work and send an invoice. He thinks ahead with me towards where I want my project to be in one year, three years, five years and beyond. Thank you for all your wonderful work so far, Frederiek, and I hope we can continue to work together successfully for many years to come!
Five years ago I went all-in and made a bold investment. The restaurant was a thing of the past, and the new webshop built by Clickforest became our future. What started as an emergency solution grew into a beautiful, well-running Shopify shop and a collaboration with a reliable, trusted partner I can count on completely. In hindsight, it was a bull's-eye. When corona forced all restaurants to close, I knew immediately: this is going to last longer than three weeks. I refused to give up and decided to look forward. As a chef and restaurant owner I had zero experience with online marketing or SEO, it was completely new to me. But thanks to Frederiek at Clickforest I learnt step by step how it all works. The result? Our sales grow every year. Frederiek keeps coming with new ideas and handy tools to improve the shop further, I just need to put them into practice. Today I enjoy quality of life again. More and more processes are automated, so the webshop runs in the evening while I used to be sweating in the kitchen. I now have a stable, loyal team for many years, and all of that thanks to the single decision to go all-in on the online shop and trust Frederiek blindly. Even today we are still expanding. Our delivery is now split into zones, and Frederiek built that seamlessly into our shop. My ChatGPT has meanwhile been turned into Bastiano's own content studio, yet another smart step forward thanks to him. If I had to give stars, five stars would be far too few. 10/10 mate! Without Frederiek I would never have made it. Eternal gratitude! Debby Swinnen - Owner - Bastiano Italian cuisine con tanto amore ❤️
From the very first conversation with Frederiek at Clickforest we knew we were dealing with the right person. His approach is not only well thought-out and strategic, but also surprisingly confrontational, in the most positive sense of the word. He immediately put his finger on pain points we had not even considered ourselves. Frederiek has an impressive and in-depth knowledge of marketing, Shopify, Google and Meta. What truly sets him apart is his ability to seamlessly integrate all these platforms into one powerful whole. Moreover, Frederiek is an extremely pleasant person to work with. He is clear in his communication, thinks along with you, is enthusiastic and at the same time realistic. In short: if you are looking for someone who thinks beyond standard solutions and works towards the best result in a pleasant way, Clickforest is more than the right choice.

As a small business owner, SEO always felt like a distraction from my work, but that changed completely when I started working with Frederiek at ClickForest. I am by nature quite sceptical about digital marketing, but Frederiek treated my small business with the same care you would expect from a large corporate client. Instead of leaving me in the dark, he took the time to explain the fundamentals so I could better understand my own website. That transparency genuinely gave me more confidence and a valuable new set of tools. He handled the time difference between the US and Europe very well and was always willing to jump on a call when it suited me. He also worked directly with my web developer to complete the technical and on-page changes without any issues or downtime. Our visibility has increased enormously and I finally feel that I have our organic growth under control. If you are based in the United States and are looking for someone who knows their stuff and genuinely cares about your business, I can wholeheartedly recommend ClickForest.
Clickforest is not just a digital agency. Their advice makes a real difference. Every recommendation feels tailored, actionable and based on genuine experience. They do not simply push generic marketing tactics; they take the time to understand your goals and give you clear, structured guidance that actually delivers results. The team's knowledge and strategic thinking have saved me time, money and a great deal of trial and error. If you are looking for a partner who delivers real value instead of empty buzzwords, I wholeheartedly recommend Clickforest.
