Web design · Rhine Valley

Web design in the Rhine Valley (Rheintal) and Eastern Switzerland. Right on site.

45+ clients since 2017

I live in the St. Gallen Rhine Valley. If you want a website here in the region, you talk to the person who actually builds it, and I am happy to come to you for the first conversation. Fixed price after we have talked, no account manager in between.

01
Why regional

Short distances. One face.

  • 01

    No account manager

    You always talk to the person who actually builds your website. Nothing gets lost in a handover.

  • 02

    Meetings on site

    For a first conversation I come to you. What would otherwise take three emails gets sorted out at the table in half an hour.

  • 03

    Easy to reach

    When something needs adjusting later, you write to me directly. No ticketing system, no queue.

  • 04

    Long term, not one off

    I would rather work with you over time than hand over one big project and disappear. Once the site is live, I am still here.

02
Process

From the first idea to launch.

  1. 01

    First conversation

    Free, 30 to 60 minutes, where I listen and ask questions. Happy to come to you in person.

  2. 02

    Written quote

    Fixed price, timeframe, stages. No surprises later.

  3. 03

    Build and sign off

    Concept, design, development. After each stage you get an interim version to sign off.

  4. 04

    Launch and care

    Testing, training, handover. After that your site is up and running, and I remain your point of contact.

03
Investment

What it roughly costs.

Business card / small website from CHF 3'500 One page, clear message. Three to five weeks.
Multi-page website from CHF 7'500 Six to twelve pages, CMS, maintenance. Six to ten weeks.
With special features on request Member area, integrations, shop. Fixed quote after our conversation.

I work for a fixed price agreed after our conversation, not on an open-ended hourly rate. You know what it costs before we start.

FAQ

Common questions.

  • What does a website for a trade business in the Rhine Valley cost?

    For a typical trade business (carpenter, painter, plumber, landscaper) with a home page, services, references and contact, a clean website usually comes in between CHF 3'500 and 6'000. It depends on how many pages and images there are and whether you need a new logo. You get a written fixed quote before we start, so the price is clear from the outset.

  • Do we meet in person or does everything happen online?

    Whichever you prefer. I live in the St. Gallen Rhine Valley and am happy to come to you for the first conversation, both here in the valley and in the nearby parts of Eastern Switzerland. If you would rather work by phone or video, that works just as well.

  • How long until my website is online?

    A simple website is usually finished in 3 to 5 weeks, a larger site in 6 to 10 weeks. The pace depends mostly on how quickly you can get the text and images to me. I am happy to help with that if you want.

  • Will the website help me get found on Google in my region?

    The website is built so that Google can read it cleanly and your location and what you offer are easy to recognise. That is the foundation for showing up in searches from your region. If you want to push higher in the rankings, I can help further with ongoing SEO support.

  • Can I change the content myself later?

    Yes. I build the website so that you can edit text, images and simple content yourself after a short introduction. If you would rather hand that off, I take care of the upkeep through the maintenance plan from CHF 79 per month.

  • Do you only work in the Rhine Valley?

    I am based in the St. Gallen Rhine Valley, while the registered office of tomventures GmbH is in Windisch in the canton of Aargau. For in-person meetings, Eastern Switzerland is the most straightforward, but I work with clients across the whole of Switzerland.
