How much does a website cost?
It depends on the scope – a lean company website is something different from a shop with an ERP integration. After our first conversation you'll get a written quote with clear line items. The conversation itself is free.
What happens when our IT stops working?
You call me directly – no ticket system, no waiting line. When something breaks, I respond quickly and help without fuss: on the phone, via video or on site in the Ruhr area. And if I set up your IT, I know it and don’t have to go searching first.
How long does a project take?
A company website is often ready within a few weeks. Shops, integrations and custom applications are planned in stages so you have something usable early on.
Can I update the content myself later?
Yes. I set everything up so you can change texts, images and projects yourself – and I'll show you how. If you'd rather not do anything yourself, I'll take care of it.
Do you only work in Mülheim?
No. I'm happy to visit in the Ruhr area, but I work just as well by phone and video for clients all over Germany – among others in Cologne, Essen, near Karlsruhe and near Stuttgart.
Does it work with the software we already use?
In most cases, yes. Whether WeClapp, Microsoft 365, DATEV or an ERP with CSV export: I look at what's there and build on it instead of starting from scratch.
Why shouldn't I just use a free website builder (Wix, Jimdo)?
It's only free with restrictions: free plans usually run under the provider's address and show its branding or ads. To run a business you need a paid plan – and that costs money every month for as long as the website is supposed to exist. On top of that, the provider largely decides loading time and technology, and with Wix and IONOS you can, according to their help pages, later take texts, your own images and domain with you, but not the finished website. For a quick test that's fine. For your business card, a website that belongs to you is worth it – more under “Website Builder Alternative”.
Do I need a big website right away or is a lean business card enough?
To start, a lean page is often enough: who you are, what you offer, how to reach you, plus a few references. That's a handful of pages that load fast and are easy to maintain. It gets bigger when you have services that need explaining, are looking for applicants, sell online or appear in several languages. I build in modules: you start lean and add what you need – without starting over. A website isn't an encyclopaedia, it's a good first impression and an open door.
Why does your own website have no cookie banner?
Because it doesn't set or read anything I would have to ask your permission for: no cookies, no third-party trackers, no fonts, maps or videos from third-party servers, hosting in Germany. Visitor statistics run without cookies and without fingerprinting on my own Matomo server, and IP addresses are stored shortened. A cookie banner is mainly needed when a website stores or reads something on your device or embeds third-party services that receive their visitors' data – where neither happens, there is nothing to permit. That isn't legal advice. If you do without such services, I'll build your website the same way. The details are in the privacy policy.
