We work out of Basel and build websites for SMEs in Freiburg and the Breisgau. Fixed price, one contact, invoiced in euros.
Fixed price from CHF 499, in writing
From Münsterplatz to the main station is ten minutes on foot, from the Dreisam valley just under a quarter of an hour on the Höllentalbahn. The centre has been a pedestrian zone since 1973, a third of all journeys are made by bike.
Guests decide between two tram stops, on a phone. Menu, opening hours and booking have to be readable there within seconds. Anyone with a stand at the Münstermarkt needs the market days just as visible.
The university and the university hospital are the largest employers in Freiburg and pull practices and care services in around them. That makes the choice wide, and the page settles it: areas of focus, free appointments, and whether patients on statutory insurance are accepted.
The Fraunhofer ISE, one of the largest solar research institutes in Europe, sits here, and anyone planning an installation compares several firms first. What decides it on the page is what you can show: renovations of existing buildings, installations with yield figures, and who files the subsidy application.
Bookings happen long before arrival, often in English. So the page should say early whether your guests can add the three day WelcomeKarte for buses, trains and trams. On the Tuniberg, direct sales come on top.
Seen from Freiburg we sit on the other side of the border, and an agency in the city centre is with you in ten minutes. We will not close that gap. So we name three things you can work out for yourself, instead of claiming the border does not matter.
You talk to the person who types
Your question lands straight where the building happens. No client desk takes it down and passes it on, and no answer has to wait on an internal enquiry first.
A Swiss sender is not a surcharge
With a supplier from Switzerland people expect Swiss rates. You pay the same fixed price as a client in Basel, stated in euros. What moves the amount is the scope, not the sender on the invoice.
Five pages are not leftover work here
A trade business, a practice or a guesthouse does not need a brand manual, it needs a handful of pages that hold up. That is exactly the size we build every day, which is why it gets a start date instead of a gap in the calendar.
From Basel Bad Bf, IC and ICE trains reach Freiburg in a good half hour, the regional train takes about an hour, and by the A5 it is roughly 75 kilometres. For everyday work that matters little: approvals and progress updates run through the dashboard, the ticket system, WhatsApp and video. The difference to an office in the Sedanviertel is the postcode.
Onepager from CHF 499, Starter from CHF 699, Business from CHF 1'099. After a short video call the sum is there in writing. There is no open hourly account and no additional claim for something that was discussed beforehand.
You receive an invoice in euros. For a service from abroad, a German company owes the VAT itself and declares it in its return; with input tax deduction it stays an entry without a payment. We therefore invoice net and state the procedure.
Hosting, mail and backups sit on servers in the EU. For you that means no transfer to a third country that would need extra justification, and a data processing agreement for your record of processing activities.
In Germany, anything that is not technically necessary needs active consent: statistics, embedded maps, videos, fonts from external servers. We therefore build the site so that it runs without those services. A pre-ticked box does not count as consent.
In Freiburg your customers arrive on foot or by bike and decide on the way. We build the site for that moment, not for a desk.
How we work
If your question is not here, drop us two lines. The answer comes from the person who would also build the site.
How expensive is a website in the Breisgau?
Three packages with a fixed price: Onepager from CHF 499, Starter with up to three pages from CHF 699, Business with up to five pages from CHF 1'099. Booking, shop, a second language or a newsletter come as add-ons. After the first call the sum is fixed in writing. Invoicing is in euros, for company clients net with a note on the reverse charge procedure.
Our page still says "Angaben nach § 5 TMG". Does that have to go?
The Telemediengesetz was absorbed into the Digitale-Dienste-Gesetz in May 2024. The mandatory details do not change, the reference is now § 5 DDG. You can also leave the paragraph out, the heading Impressum is enough. On a rebuild we go through the imprint and the privacy notice as well. This is a pointer, not legal advice.
Do you come to Freiburg for meetings?
The first call runs on video and does not take long. For a project under way we come to Freiburg, from Basel Bad Bf that is a good half hour on a long distance train. For short questions we stay on screen, otherwise you would pay the train tickets inside the fixed price.
Does our site need a French version as well?
That depends on your customers. Alsace is half an hour to an hour away depending on where you are, and anyone expecting guests, patients or buyers from there gains more from French than from English. Multilingual means separate addresses and separate texts per language, not an automatic translation laid over the German page. It is an add-on with its own price.
We are not in the city but out in the Breisgau. Does that work too?
Yes. The districts of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald and Emmendingen are within our catchment area: Gundelfingen, Denzlingen, Emmendingen, Waldkirch, Umkirch, March, Merzhausen, Kirchzarten, Bad Krozingen, Staufen, Müllheim, Breisach and Vogtsburg on the Kaiserstuhl. Whether your business sits in the Dreisam valley, on the Kaiserstuhl or in the Markgräflerland changes nothing about the process.
How long does it take?
Two to four weeks, whatever the scope. More pages mean more hours on our side, not more waiting on yours. The clock starts on the day the texts and images are there. That is exactly where the delays come from.
A video call in German, French or English. After that you get an offer with a fixed price in euros. No obligation, and the price holds as it stands in the offer.
