Common questions

What if I don't have texts or photos ready?

No problem — mention it in the project brief. Writing basic copy can be included in the quote; for photos, we can use licensed stock images or you can add your own later.

What about hosting and domain?

If you don't have them yet, we help set both up. If you already have a domain, we simply point it to the new site — no need to change registrars.

How long does a site take?

Typically 5–7 working days for a simple site, up to 2 weeks for a Standard package. Custom/larger builds are scoped individually.

Can the site be in more than one language?

Yes — a second language can be included in the Standard package, and additional languages are €50 each as a one-time add-on.

Is the site legally compliant (Impressum, privacy policy)?

Yes, every site includes a proper Impressum and a GDPR-compliant privacy policy from day one — not added as an afterthought.

Do you offer phone calls?

No — all communication is in writing (email). This keeps every decision documented and easy to refer back to.

Do you build online shops?

Not currently — our focus is lead-capture and informational sites.

What's the difference between a domain and hosting?

Your domain is your web address (like yourbusiness.de) — think of it as your street address. Hosting is the server space where your site's files actually live — think of it as the building itself. You need both, and we handle the technical setup either way.

Do I need to understand any of this to order a site?

No. Everything happens through a short written project brief — you describe your business and goals in plain language, and we handle domains, hosting, and every technical step. No jargon required.

I already have a simple site or one-pager built on a website builder (Wix, Squarespace, etc.) — does that count as "existing"?

Yes. We build your new site fresh, matched to what you need now. We don't need access to your old builder account — just your existing content (texts, photos) if you'd like to reuse it.

What should I have ready before we start (texts, photos, logo)?

A short list of your services, a logo or brand colors if you already have them, and photos if you have them — that's plenty to start with. If something's missing, we'll ask for it in the brief or suggest an alternative, like licensed stock photos.

What is an Impressum, and why is it required?

In Germany, an Impressum is legally required for almost every business website — it shows your business name, address, and contact details so visitors and authorities know who's running the site. It's not an optional extra, it's a legal requirement, and every site we build includes it from day one.

Will people actually find me on Google after the site goes live?

Every site includes the SEO basics by default — proper page titles and descriptions, a mobile-friendly layout, and a sitemap submitted to Google, so your site can be found and understood. How well you rank for competitive search terms depends on your industry, location, and time — it's often a matter of months of ongoing work, and frequently paid advertising alongside it. Our SEO add-ons help you get the most out of the site itself, but nobody can honestly guarantee a specific Google ranking — be cautious of anyone who promises that.

What's the difference between Basic SEO and Advanced SEO (the add-ons)?

Basic SEO tunes what's already on your site — keyword-aware headings, meta descriptions, image alt text, and local business details. Advanced SEO goes further: deeper keyword research, competitor comparison, and ongoing on-page adjustments. Neither includes link-building or paid ads — see our other FAQ on what's outside our scope.

How long until my site shows up in Google search results?

Google usually indexes a new site within days to about two weeks. Ranking well for competitive terms can take weeks to months — that's true for every website, not specific to us. If early visibility matters, the SEO add-ons help, but be wary of anyone who promises overnight top rankings.

What if I don't like the design once it's done?

Each package includes revision rounds (1 for Starter, 2 for Standard; Custom is scoped individually) — we refine the design together with you during those. Bigger changes in direction are easier to make the earlier you flag them, so speak up as soon as something feels off.

Is the site actually mine if I ever want to move to someone else?

Yes. The website and domain are yours — if you registered the domain yourself, it stays under your name; if we set it up for you, it's still registered to you. If you ever want to leave, we hand over the files — no lock-in.

Is there a contract, or can I change my mind at any point?

There's no formal contract — the scope and price are confirmed in writing before we start, and that written confirmation is what we work from. You can raise changes at any point by email; bigger changes may affect price or timeline.

How does payment work — all at once, or in stages?

For Starter and Standard packages, payment is due once the site is ready — you review the finished site first, then pay before we hand over the domain and access. For Custom projects, we ask for a deposit to begin work, with the remainder due before handover.

Can I make small edits myself without a Care plan?

If you're comfortable doing it yourself, we hand over everything you need. If you'd rather not touch the code, one-off small edits can be quoted individually, or a Care plan covers it on an ongoing basis.

Will the site have its own email (like info@mybusiness.de)?

Yes, we can set this up alongside your domain and hosting — a professional address on your own domain instead of a generic free-mail address.

Is the site secure (the https padlock)?

Yes, every site we build runs on an encrypted HTTPS connection by default — the padlock in the browser is there from day one, at no extra cost.

What if I need an extra page six months down the line?

No problem — a single extra page is quoted individually, or may already be covered under a Care plan, depending on what you need. Just reach out in writing when the time comes.
