Web design & development
Your website is your best salesperson.
I build websites that look great, load fast and get found on Google. I pick the right tech for your project — you don't have to think about it.
Why a new website?
Your website decides before you do.
Most customers google before they call. Your site is often the first — and sometimes only — impression. A slow, dated site costs you inquiries every day.
Faster loading
Google punishes slow sites with worse rankings. Modern sites load in under a second — improving SEO and user experience at the same time.
Perfect on every device
Over 70% of your visitors arrive on mobile. My sites are built mobile-first — not retrofitted afterwards.
SEO from day one
Clean structure, fast load times, schema markup and optimized meta tags are built in from day 1 — not added later as an expensive extra.
Secure & GDPR-compliant
HTTPS, modern security headers, GDPR-compliant cookie consent and privacy pages — all included by default.
Professional impression
Your site is often the first touchpoint. Modern design instantly builds trust — a dated site costs you customers before you even meet them.
Easy to maintain
Depending on the setup, you get a system you can run yourself — or I handle maintenance for you. No IT degree required.
My approach
Modern by default — WordPress on request.
I worked with WordPress for many years and know its strengths as well as its limits: load times, security and constant plugin updates. That's why I build new websites with modern technology today — WordPress only when you explicitly ask for it.
Modern setup — my standard
I build your site with modern tools — the same ones this site runs on. The result: loads in under a second, feels like an app and works even on a poor connection. You still edit text, images and news yourself in a simple content editor.
For everyone who wants speed, security and visibility on Google.
WordPress — on request
You explicitly want WordPress, for example because your team already works with it? Then I set it up lean and fast — no bloat, no 40 plugins. For new websites I no longer recommend it as the default.
For clients who explicitly ask for WordPress.
In the first call I explain without a tech lecture why I recommend which route — the decision is yours.
Direct comparison
Wix, WordPress or Web & Search?
Three ways to get a professional website. Here's the honest side-by-side — no marketing fluff.
Note: this is my honest assessment — Wix, Jimdo and WordPress have their place for certain use cases. In the first call I'll tell you which path fits your project, even if it isn't mine.

FAQ
Common questions.
What does a professional website cost?+
Depends on scope — a one-pager business card is different from an extensive site with blog and SEO. In the free first call we clarify your needs and you get a tailored fixed-price offer.
How long until my website is ready?+
A typical company site is done in 2–4 weeks. Depends on how fast you can supply text and images. I start with a draft within a few days so you get feedback early.
Do I need WordPress to edit content myself?+
No. With my modern websites you also edit text, images, news or offers yourself in a simple content editor. I only build WordPress when you explicitly ask for it — for example because your team already works with it.
Can I get my existing site redesigned?+
Yes. Sometimes a redesign or a technical overhaul is enough, instead of rebuilding from scratch. In the first call I look at your current site and tell you honestly whether a relaunch is worth it or an optimization will do.
What happens after launch?+
On request I handle hosting, maintenance, updates and small changes via an optional maintenance contract — or you host it yourself. Either way, you're not alone — reachable by phone, email or WhatsApp.
Is the site optimized for Google too?+
Yes. Every site I build has a solid SEO foundation: fast load times, clean structure, meta tags, schema markup and mobile optimization. For deeper SEO work like keyword strategy and content optimization I offer a separate SEO retainer.
Will my data be hosted securely?+
Yes. I host on European servers with HTTPS, modern security headers and regular backups. GDPR compliance is a given.
