Ronald's ability to comprehend and solve our complex challenges was truly impressive, and he was able to provide us with effective solutions that allowed us to deliver a remarkable product to our client. He clearly stands out as a knowledge expert who can effectively balance the needs of the client with the technological requirements of a 360 degree based platform.
Overall, we were extremely satisfied with Ronald's work and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone seeking an expert in this field. His knowledge and attention to detail are second to none, and we look forward to working with him again in the future.

How I got to where I am
3DVista Meet-ups
Ronald, creator of 360Creators, was very active in the 3DVista Facebook group. At some point someone asked if there were any 3DVista Meetups. There weren't, so Ronald started to organize one. It was such a succes that more Meetups were getting organized. In the meetups we were actively sharing knowledge with each other to see how we could put 3DVista tours to the next level.
Tutorials tutorials tutorials
As Ronald was trying to help as much as possible, many questions started to look very similar. To be more efficient in answering questions, the idea started to arise to create tutorials. So that only a link was needed to answer a question in the group on Facebook. At some point Ronald started a 40 Day Tutorial Challenge to create a new tutorial every single day.
Launch of Leap8 Pro community
Now having created lots of videos, the idea was there to bring creators together who were willing to help each other out in a professional matter in a closed environment together with Roel.
Meta
From answering questions in a Facebook group, we got invited by Facebook themselves to have them as our direct client. This enabled us to think at a complete different level of tour creation. In this period Facebook transformed into Meta.
No-code databases & automations
No-code tools are tools that are easy to use and do not require code. Tools such as Airtable, Make, Webflow, 3DVista. I've learned how to think with data, setting up bases and transitioning from one to another tool.
Self-hosting
No-code tools are cool, up to a certain moment. The dark side of no-coding is the dependency, related to data-privacy, price-increases, feature-removal, server downtime. Constantly happening in all sorts of no-code tools. Finding open-source alternatives that can be hosted on your own server that are still relatively no-code, become way more interesting.
Teach & Learn self-hosting
It's time to find the opensource alternatives and make the migrations happen, such as this website from Webflow servers to my own server. As I'm doing that, share my process for others to see how that can be done.
Make systems work for people.
The kind of use cases we have build for our clients
From Figma to 3DVista
Using the client's Figma design to develop the Virtual Tour in 3DVista. For departments such as recruitment & sales.
Auto menu creation
Creating a new menu of a 1000 buttons within 5 minutes and having that linked to all the panoramas in 3DVista. For industries such as construction.
E-Learning login & track
Building a portal in which users can login using their employment codes to then get through the 3DVista e-learning tour. Per user it shows in the backend which checkpoints have been passed. For industries such as HR.
What we stand for
Most values have opposited balances.
The balances below are the things we lean more into.
💿 Self-hosting
You can play your music from a CD, stream your music from Spotify or stream your music from your own server. If Spotify server goes down, you can still play your music from your CD or from your own server. With self-hosting comes responsibility. If something goes wrong, you can fix it yourself. Or wait for someone else to fix the Spotify server.
🔆 Open-source
Open source whereever it is possible. With selecting your tools & solutions as well as having an open source mentality as a person.
📝 Professionalism
We do what we say. We communicate when we don't know or hestitate about something. We are on time for meetings and deadlines. Positive language is extremely important to us. Communicating about what is possible and the challanges to overcome.

Fill out the Sales Form
We need to be mindful about whom we work with. As pragmatic thinkers we like to know upfront a few more details to streamline the process right from the start.
Followup
We get back to you within 24 hours on workdays.
Meeting call
If we think we can help out, we send over a link to schedule some time with us to sit on a videocall for our first meeting. In here we further discuss and clarify your needs more in depth.
Setup the deal
After the meeting call, we usually have a very good idea of your needs. This is our time to send back our offer to you.
We prefer to work hourly with a starter pack of hours which is paid upfront. Usually between 5 and 10 hours at 200 eu hourly. This way we can be as practical right from the start. Once the package of hours is used, we can either continue hourly or offer a fixed price for the overall project.
During the project
The project gets a go! We determine how to share files, whether that's on your side or from our side through nextcloud. For communication we prefer to use email, video screenrecordings and scheduling calls through scheduling-links. If we decided to work on time, we send a live time-tracker link to keep track of our time. It's possible to get notified at certain amount of hours. Taking a coffee means pausing the time. The time is tracked to the second.
After the project
We've reached what was needed, it's time to high five! We arrange the final payment, send over all the files that are needed and it's time to celebrate! We always like to ask for a testimonial, if we can use your logo and your clients logo on our website and if we're able to include the work in our portfolio. If not, that's totally fine. We understand non-disclosures.
