Seitenhandwerk

Your business.
Online.
In three weeks.

I build websites for trades, practices and clubs, at a fixed price, without the website-builder look and without a contract you can't get out of.

  • Fixed price from CHF 830
  • Live in 2 to 3 weeks
  • A draft before you pay
  • Domain and access belong to you
  • Reply within 1 working day

Does this sound like you?

Three starting points I come across again and again. All three are solved within a few weeks.

You don't have a website yet

Your customers search online first. Anyone who finds nothing there calls the next business, even if you do the better work.

Your site dates from 2012

It isn't broken, but it no longer convinces anyone. And on a phone, where most people look today, it falls apart.

You're stuck somewhere

Every text change costs money, someone else holds the access, and nobody replies. This can be sorted out cleanly.

What usually gets in the way

Four things I often hear before someone gets started. Each one has a simple answer.

  • “I have no time for writing.”

    We talk about your work for an hour. I write all the copy, you just read it over.

  • “I don't have good photos.”

    I tell you exactly which pictures you need and how to take them well with your phone. In the Business package I take the photos on site.

  • “Will anyone even find me?”

    Clean titles, descriptions and a sitemap come with every package. From the Standard package on, I also set up your Google Business Profile.

  • “And what if I don't like it?”

    Then you pay nothing. You see the draft of your home page before any invoice arrives.

Always included

No basic package where the important things cost extra. These points are part of every job.

  • Design and build Tailored to your business, not from a template. You see a draft before anything is final.
  • Texts you don't have to write We talk for an hour about your work, I write the draft, you correct it.
  • Readable on every device Phone first, then tablet and desktop: tested, not just claimed.
  • A contact form that arrives Enquiries land in your inbox, and the sender automatically gets a confirmation.
  • Legal notice and privacy policy In line with the revised Swiss Data Protection Act. Fonts hosted by myself, no tracking on your site.
  • Found on Google Clean titles, descriptions, sitemap and preview images, so a link also looks good when it is shared.
  • Domain, email and launch I set everything up and test it, including the tricky DNS entries, so your business email keeps arriving.
  • Loads fast No heavy website-builder libraries. Images are shrunk before uploading, not afterwards.

Four steps, no time pressure

  1. Enquiry through the form

    Two minutes: what you do and what the site should be able to do. No call needed, no appointment, no obligation.

  2. Reply and quote

    I reply by email within one working day, with questions and a fixed-price quote. Phone calls only if you want them.

  3. A draft before you pay

    You see your home page in a private preview: clickable, not as an image. If you don't like it, you owe nothing.

  4. Order, corrections and launch

    Only once you like the draft do you place the order. I finish the site, we go through the corrections, then I put it live on your domain. You get all the logins.

What I am asked most often

How long does it really take?

Two to three weeks from the moment the texts and photos are available. The most common reason for delay is not the technology but missing material. That is why I help with the writing.

Who owns the website afterwards?

You do. Domain, hosting and all access are in your name, not mine. If you later switch to someone else, you take everything with you, without asking me.

What does running it cost per year?

Domain and hosting together cost around CHF 20 to 60 per year, depending on the provider. These costs go directly through your account, I add nothing on top. If you want someone to look after the site, you add the care plan from CHF 90 a month.

Do I have to write the texts myself?

No. We have a conversation about your work, I write a draft from it, and you correct and add to it. Most customers find that much easier than sitting in front of a blank page.

Can I make changes myself later?

Small changes (new opening hours, a new price, an extra photo) I take care of in the care plan, usually the same day. If you prefer to change things yourself, I can build in a simple editing system for an extra charge.

And data protection?

Legal notice and privacy policy in line with the revised Swiss Data Protection Act are part of every package. I host fonts myself and do not include trackers that need consent. That is why your site usually needs no cookie banner at all. You see one on my own site because I measure the success of my Google ads. The cookie is only set with your consent. Your site does not need that.

Do you also do logos and apps?

Yes. I design a logo with colours, typeface and business card to match your website, or I carefully refresh your existing one. I build apps as web apps: they run in the browser on any phone, without an app store, for example for booking appointments, ordering or a loyalty card. Both at a fixed price after a quote, details under Logo and app.

And when the phone rings while you are working?

On a building site or behind the customer's chair you cannot pick up. A digital assistant takes the call, as a complement to the website.

  • Answers around the clock and understands Swiss German.
  • Gives information on opening hours, services and address.
  • Books appointments straight into your calendar.
  • Notes who called and what it was about. What it may say, we define beforehand.

More than the website, from a single source

Anyone who builds a new site often also needs a logo that goes with it. And some businesses need an app instead of a site. I design both, by the same principles: you see drafts before anything is final, and everything belongs to you.

Logo and visual identity

Fixed price after quote

  • Logo for sign, vehicle, business card and website, as a vector file in all common formats
  • Plus colours, typeface and business card, so everything fits together
  • Also for an existing logo: carefully refresh it instead of reinventing it
  • All files and usage rights belong to you
Enquire about a logo

App for your customers

Fixed price after quote

  • As a web app: runs in the browser on any phone, without a detour through the app store. Your customers simply get a link
  • For example appointment booking, ordering, customer account or loyalty card
  • First a clickable draft, then build, testing and care
  • If the app should go into the app store, we clarify effort and cost beforehand
Enquire about an app

We define the scope in a short conversation. After that you get a fixed-price quote, as with the website.

Tell me briefly what it is about

A two-minute form. That is all it takes to begin. You don't have to call anywhere or find an appointment.

  • You fill in the form. Only name and email are required.
  • I reply within one working day by email, with a first assessment.
  • You see a draft of your home page before you pay anything.
  • We can talk on the phone or meet afterwards, if you like.
Free and without obligation. No newsletter follows.
