Web design & care
A website that fits your business – and makes enquiries easy.
I build you a clear website on which visitors quickly understand what you offer and how to reach you. If you like, I then also take care of being found on Google, updates and the technology behind it.
What matters
What should your website do for you?
Anyone looking for an electrician, a practice or a café today googles it – and then looks at the website. The first few seconds decide whether they call. Are the opening hours there? The phone number? Does this look like a business you can trust? Nice looks alone won't do it. The site has to answer the questions your customers actually have.
Show the right services
Visitors see straight away what you offer and for whom – from the Website plan up with one page per service.
Build trust
A clear structure, texts that suit you and, from the Website plan up, photos from your business instead of stock images.
Work well on mobile
Most of your visitors come from a smartphone – that is where the site has to work first.
Make contact easy
Phone number at the top, a short form, a clear next step.
This is part of every website I build
- Looks trustworthy – with a clear layout and texts that sound like you – from the Website plan up with photos from your business instead of stock images
- Loads fast – on every device, with lean technology
- Works on a phone – most of your visitors come from a smartphone – that's where the site has to be good first
- Is found on Google – through clean, fast technology and texts that name your service and your town – tuned for Google from the Website + SEO plan up
- Brings enquiries – phone number at the top, a short form, a clear next step
- Data protection basics – servers in Germany, a proper cookie notice, an up-to-date privacy policy
- Stays up to date – give me a quick call and I change it – from the Website plan up you can also change opening hours or prices yourself, no coding needed
Things I hear a lot – and what I do about them
“The website looks dated”
Looks from 2012, tiny fonts, pixelated pictures. Anyone who sees it wonders: does this business still exist?
My suggestion A clear, calm design – from the Website plan up with current photos from your business instead of bought stock images.
“Nobody fills in the contact form”
Visitors come, but nobody gets in touch. How many jobs get lost that way, nobody knows.
My suggestion Phone number and form where people look for them. Three fields instead of ten. Plus reviews and real photos, so trust builds before anyone calls.
“Agencies were too expensive and impersonal”
High hourly rates, a new contact person every time, invoices nobody can follow.
My suggestion With me you talk to the person who builds the site. Fixed monthly amount, clearly described scope – and you know beforehand what it costs.

Getting found on Google
Anyone searching for what you do should find you.
People looking for a tradesperson or a practice usually search with a service and a place – “roofer Kiel”, for example – and call one of the businesses Google shows near the top. From the Website + SEO plan upwards, the groundwork for this is built in, and with Website + SEO Plus I keep working on it every month. If you already have a website, you can book SEO management on its own – no matter who built it.
Reviews are part of it: anyone comparing businesses looks at the stars. Google reviews
Four plans
What it costs.
I build the site, run it on German servers and keep looking after it – one contact person, one monthly amount, no set-up fee. I'd rather name prices beforehand than afterwards. We'll work out together which plan suits your business in our first conversation.
How it works
- Conversation About 30 minutes, at your business or on the phone: what you offer, who your customers are and what already exists.
- Concept and build I suggest the structure and texts and build the site for mobile first. You look at interim versions in your own time.
- Running and care I set up the domain and server and keep looking after the site. If something should change, just give me a call.

- Encrypted connection (SSL) and servers in Germany

Which plan suits you?
- Do you already have a website that should stay?
- Do you want to show several services and change texts yourself?
- Should customers find you on Google – and should I keep at it every month?
Three quick questions, then you'll see which plan fits. Your answers stay in your browser.
Added if needed
Ads and social media – only if it pays off for you.
For many businesses, a good website with a well-kept Google profile is enough. Sometimes more is worth it: posts on Facebook and Instagram, a newsletter for your regulars or a Google ad for the season – for example “holiday flat St. Peter-Ording” in spring. Each building block can be booked on its own. I'll tell you honestly what pays off and name the amount before anything runs. Whatever doesn't deliver, I switch off again.
Frequently asked
What businesses ask me about websites.
Cost, rights, timeline and Google – answered briefly and honestly.
What does a website cost – including a relaunch?
There are four plans, each net per month: Landing page for €80, Website for €140, Website + SEO for €200 and Website + SEO Plus for €300. They include design, technology, space on German servers (hosting) and ongoing maintenance. There is no set-up fee. The term is 12 months, after which the contract can be cancelled monthly. We'll work out which plan suits your business in the free initial call – by phone, by video or in person at your premises (no travel costs within 50 km of Husum as the crow flies; further away I tell you the travel costs beforehand). A relaunch – a new website replacing the old one – runs on the same monthly plan, with no separate invoice for the rebuild: I keep what is good on the old site and redirect the old addresses to the new ones so Google doesn't lose your existing results.
What belongs to me – and what happens if I cancel?
Domain and content belong to you, even on a monthly plan. The rights of use to code and design follow section 6 of the terms. How domain and content move to you after cancellation is set out in the offer.
When will the website be online?
How long it takes depends mainly on how quickly photos, texts and approvals are ready. You get an honest timeline in the initial call.
Who provides texts and photos?
You provide the knowledge about your business, I write it up so that customers and Google understand it. Whatever already exists – logo, photos, texts – we use; from the Website plan up, photos from your business go on the site instead of bought stock images.
What does SEO actually do for me?
SEO means being found on Google when someone in your area searches for what you offer – “tax adviser Flensburg”, for example. That brings enquiries from people who need someone right now. I don't start with big campaigns but with the basics: a fast website, a well-kept Google Business Profile, a few genuine reviews and texts that use the words your customers actually type into Google. It takes a few months, but then it lasts. Nobody can honestly promise you a particular position on Google, and neither can I. If you want me to keep at it, that's what SEO management is for – SEO basic care is already included in the Website + SEO Plus plan, and for an existing website you can book SEO management on its own.
Do you also build websites for practices, law and tax firms and trades?
Yes. A practice needs clear opening hours and a way to get in touch that respects data protection, a tax firm needs trust and a short path to an appointment, a trade business needs one page per service and a call button right at the top. The plans are the same – what belongs on the site we work out in the initial call.
