Questions that actually matter
Ownership, costs, operation, technology, working together — the honest answers at a glance, sorted by topic.
01
Frequently asked questions
We develop programmed websites and modular web apps – custom, performant and without template systems.
Yes. Code, data and hosting belong to you completely. No subscriptions, no platform lock-in.
Yes. Content like texts, projects, jobs or pages can be managed via your own CMS – without changing the design.
The first three months of support are included. After that, maintenance follows a workshop principle — regular checks, free diagnosis, repairs only against a fixed-price quote, no subscription. Your system stays yours throughout.
For companies that think long-term and want a digital system – not just a pretty website.
We don't build templates, but systems. Architecture, performance and extensibility are the focus – not quick surfaces.
02
Ownership & costs
Yes. Your system runs on your own server — that's exactly what „it's yours" means. We handle the setup, configuration and launch. The running cost goes directly to the hosting and domain provider, not to us.
A server (e.g. Hetzner) runs about €17–28 a month, the domain around €5–9 — together roughly €22–37 monthly. You pay these directly to the host and registrar. You pay us nothing for it — no subscription, no monthly rent.
Because there you pay rent for access to your own presence — stop paying and it's gone. With us you pay once for the build. After that the code, the data and full hosting control are yours, with no leash from us.
03
Operation & maintenance
The first three months of support are included — fine-tuning, security updates and smaller adjustments. After that, maintenance follows a workshop principle: regular checks, free diagnosis, repairs only against a fixed-price quote. No subscription.
We check your system at regular intervals — free of charge, like an oil-change inspection. If the check finds something, you get a notification. Then you decide freely: fix it yourself, hire us at a fixed price, or bring in someone else. No obligation, no ongoing contract.
Diagnosis is always free. Only if something genuinely needs doing do you get a fixed price up front — a flat sum you can accept or not. There's no ongoing maintenance contract and no hourly meter.
Bug fixes on what was delivered, security and update care, fine-tuning plus small text and content corrections, along with monitoring and backups. New features or extra pages are separate projects, not maintenance.
You can, any time — it's yours. You get the access, the handover and the complete system. The free check stays available as an option; you don't have to use it. You're tied to nothing.
04
Technology & product
Yes. You manage texts, projects, pages and more through your own CMS — without touching the design or the code.
Faster load times, more security, no plugin dependencies and unlimited extensibility. No theme ballast slowing you down — and nobody knows your build better than you do.
Yes, it's built modularly. New modules, pages or a whole web app dock on when you need them — as a separate project, never as an obligation.
A website presents — a web app works: bookings, customer areas, your own processes, dashboards. We build both and connect them into one system.
05
Working together
Yes, entirely location-independent — wherever you are. The collaboration runs fully digitally.
Initial call, offer, build in stages with checkpoints, launch, three months of support. And: you speak directly with the person who builds — no account-manager carousel.
For companies that think long-term and want a digital system — not just a pretty website.
Depending on scope: a focused website a few weeks, a complete system correspondingly longer. You get the concrete timeline in the initial call.
06
Visibility & SEO
Yes. Dedicated location pages rank for local searches in your city and lead customers to you — with clean technology instead of template mass.
Because there you get the twentieth identical template site in your city — monthly rent included. Your own system sets you apart technically and visibly.
Custom code is performant from the ground up: fast load times, clean markup and structured data. That's the technical foundation good ranking stands on in the first place.
