A few answers to help you take the next step.
What does a professional website cost?
One-pagers from €990, business websites from €2,990 and online stores from €4,490. These are starting prices in EUR. The fixed quote covers the agreed scope; invoicing currency, taxes and any additional services are clarified in the offer.
Explore services and pricingHow long does a typical project take?
One-pagers and landing pages usually take 2–3 weeks, business websites 4–6 weeks and stores around 6–10 weeks, depending on product data and integrations.
Can existing rankings survive a redesign?
That is a core redesign goal. Existing URLs, content and search signals are audited; redirects, canonicals, sitemap and tracking are prepared before launch and checked afterwards.
Is SEO included?
Technical SEO, clear page structure, metadata, structured data and performance are standard. Ongoing content and local SEO can be added as a growth phase.
Do you work internationally?
Yes. We are based in Germany and work with international teams in English and German. We agree on meeting times, feedback and handover with you, so your project can run entirely remotely.
What happens after launch?
You receive an agreed handover and your access details. If you would like help with maintenance, new content or further development, we agree on a suitable scope of support.
