About · Editorial

Hello. I am Thomas.

Solo web consultant from Windisch in Aargau. Since 2017 I have been building, marketing and maintaining websites and shops for clients across Switzerland. One person, not a corporation.

01

How I got here.

  1. 2002

    The first website

    I am 15, sitting at a PC in my childhood bedroom. No plan, just curiosity. The site goes live and works. I have not stopped since.

  2. 2017

    A hobby becomes a job

    First client projects alongside my day job. Before long I realise the two no longer fit together. I go out on my own.

  3. 2021

    tomventures GmbH

    My own company, a proper structure, an invoice with my name on it. Based in Windisch, working with clients across Switzerland.

  4. Today

    One contact for everything

    Concept, design, copy, hosting, maintenance, marketing. There is room for bigger projects too: shops with several thousand products, links to accounting software, migrations off old systems.

A website is a tool, not a show. What I build should still work in five years.

What guides me.

  • 01

    Craft over hype

    A website is a tool, not a show. I build things that still work in five years. If something only looks good for a moment, we leave it out.

    One person, start to finish

    You talk to the person who actually builds it. No account managers, no ticket system, no handovers in between. That scales more slowly, but it is more honest.

  • 03

    Enough is enough

    If your current website works well, I say so. If a project is not a fit for me, I say that too. I would rather not sell things nobody needs.

    Tools in the background

    I use AI to help me work, not as the end product. Every piece of text passes through my hands before it goes live, and that will not change.

03

When I am not building.

There is a person behind the work, and that person has a life away from the screen. A few words on that:

  • I trade the financial markets and am building my own product around it.
  • I spend time with family and friends in Aargau.
  • I read, cook and head into the mountains when the weather allows.
  • I tinker with small side projects, mostly at the weekend.

Let us talk.

A first conversation is free, with no obligation. Send me a short note. I read it myself and get back to you within one business day. If it is a fit, we take it from there. If not, I will tell you honestly.

See you soon, Thomas
