Weblio is a studio in Basel that builds websites for SMEs in the city and canton of Zurich. Fixed price, one contact, no branch office on Bahnhofstrasse.
Fixed price from CHF 499, no Zurich surcharge
From the main station to Langstrasse is a 10 minute walk, from Seefeld to Oerlikon 15 minutes on the S-Bahn. We build for the businesses in between, not for Bahnhofstrasse.
Guests search on their phone and often in English. Menu, opening hours and booking have to be there within seconds on a small screen, everything else is decoration.
Anyone looking for a practice wants to know before calling which treatments exist, who provides them and when there is a slot. Online booking, clear service pages, a short path to contact.
The enquiry arrives from a phone, often straight from the building site. Reference photos, the area you cover, a form that is filled in within thirty seconds.
The clients of these offices are often international, so the site has to work equally well in German and English. With its own addresses per language, not a translation widget laid over the German page.
Every Zurich agency sits closer to you than we do. If you want someone in your office every week, you are better served locally. Three things are left, and you can check all three.
You talk to the person who builds it
Short paths instead of a briefing chain: no account manager in between, no handover to a junior team. Whoever quotes you the price also writes the code.
No Zurich surcharge
Wages and office rents in Zurich are at the top end of Switzerland, in Basel they are below that. The same work costs you the same fixed price as a Basel client. That is not a claim about quality, it is a question of the cost base.
Small projects are the core business here
A onepager or a five page website is not leftover work squeezed between two large projects. It is what we do every day, and that is why you get an appointment for it.
Two direct connections every hour, no changing trains. From the main station almost every inner city district is reached in under 15 minutes by tram or S-Bahn. Most of the work runs through the dashboard, the ticket system, WhatsApp and video anyway, and that is no different at an agency two tram stops away.
Onepager from CHF 499, Starter from CHF 699, Business from CHF 1'099. The price is set after a short video call, there is no open hourly billing. It is the same price a Basel client pays.
QR invoice, TWINT, 30 day payment terms, Swiss place of jurisdiction. Between Basel and Zurich there is no customs, currency or legal border. Against a Zurich agency that is no advantage, against a provider abroad it is.
EU and EEA states are on the Federal Council's list of countries with adequate data protection, so a transfer there needs no additional safeguards. The delicate part is rarely the server location, it is what the page loads: analytics, fonts, forms.
Switzerland has no consent requirement like the EU, but it does require transparency under the revised FADP. As soon as your site systematically addresses customers in the EU, the EU standard applies anyway. We work out what applies to you beforehand instead of fitting a banner by default.
In Zurich we are not the closest studio, and we do not pretend to be. We build for the businesses off Bahnhofstrasse, at the same fixed price as in Basel.
How we work
If your question is not here, drop us a line. You get an answer with a number in it, not a brochure.
What does a website cost for an SME in Zurich?
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, multilingual setup or newsletter come as add-ons, each with its own price. After the first call the sum is set and does not change. It is the same price as in Basel, with no Zurich surcharge.
Do you come to Zurich for meetings?
The first call runs on video and stays short. For a concrete project we come to Zurich, it is just under an hour by train. We do not travel for every follow-up question, because that would end up in the price and the price is exactly what we keep low. That is what the dashboard, the ticket system, WhatsApp and video are for.
Do you also build the site in English?
In the city of Zurich around a third of the population holds no Swiss passport, on top of that come international companies and universities. English is the second language here, French the third. Multilingual means separate addresses per language and separate texts, not a translation widget laid over the German page. It is an add-on with its own price, not a surcharge on everything.
We are in the canton, not the city. Does that work too?
Yes, and the canton is far more than the inner city anyway: machinery and industry in the Zurich Oberland, logistics around Kloten and in the Glattal, trades and farming in the Unterland and the Weinland. Uster, Dübendorf, Wallisellen, Kloten, Opfikon, Adliswil, Horgen, Thalwil, Meilen, Küsnacht, Zollikon, Dietikon in the Limmattal and Regensdorf in the Furttal are all within our catchment area, and the way we work is the same everywhere.
Why should I not take a Zurich agency?
If you need someone sitting in your office every week, a campaign for a large brand, an in-house photo studio or twenty Zurich references on the table, then take a Zurich agency. We cannot offer that. We work with a fixed price, and you talk to the person who also builds it.
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. Counted from the moment the texts and images are there. That is the part that delays projects, in Zurich as everywhere else.
A video call in German or English, after that you get a quote with a fixed price. No obligation and no Zurich surcharge.
