What Studio Flabbergasted does

Studio Flabbergasted B.V. is a privately-held boutique creative agency headquartered in Rotterdam, Netherlands, founded in October 2019 by designer Aniek and photographer Margot de Heide. The firm designs and develops brand identities, custom websites, e-commerce webshops, and professional photography for Dutch businesses, with a stated geographic focus on companies in and around Rotterdam, The Hague, Dordrecht, and Zoetermeer. Notable clients include Studio 100, Van Doorne, Ploum, Brain Bakery, Stage Entertainment, and 75+ additional brands across diverse verticals such as sustainable innovation, EV infrastructure, home energy storage, beverages, interior materials, luxury e-commerce, and social impact. The studio employs approximately eight to nine people, including co-founders, designers, developers, a project manager, a support specialist, photographers, and a photography intern.

The agency's core offering integrates custom design, development, and photography into a single in-house workflow. All websites are built on the Webflow CMS, with design concepts prototyped in Figma and translated into pixel-perfect Webflow builds using the Client First framework. E-commerce webshops combine Webflow front-end design with Shopify's backend e-commerce infrastructure (inventory, payments, shipping, orders) via the Shopyflow connector. The agency operates WTFactory, an in-house photo studio launched in 2022 that is also made available for external rental by other photographers. In 2024, the firm achieved Webflow Premium Partner status — one of only four such partners in the Netherlands — having progressed from Professional Partner (2021–2023) under Webflow's restructured partner program.

The business operates on a project-based professional services revenue model with custom quote-based pricing determined after strategic sessions with prospective clients. Revenue streams include web design and development, branding, webshop builds, six categories of photography (portrait, corporate, event, product, theatre, interior), and a recurring Website Support and Maintenance subscription offering. Distribution is sales-led and direct, primarily through website quote request forms, phone and email contact, and in-person consultations at the Aelbrechtskade office in Rotterdam. The firm is founder-owned with Margot de Heide serving as owner, entrepreneur, and sales lead; no institutional investors, funding rounds, or external ownership changes have been disclosed.
