// FEATURE A 01 Performance you can feel
Lighthouse scores above 95. Load times under one second. On mobile, on the train, even when the network is weak. That's not an optimization gimmick — fast sites get found better and abandoned less.
[ Pillar 1 · Web & Tech ]
Websites that don't just look good — they bring customers.
Fast, modern websites for SMEs — from the business-card site to the complex web application.
[ Scope ]
What's inside a Heldwerk website.
A website isn't a design project — it's a tool that should bring inquiries, build trust, and ease your day-to-day work. Heldwerk sites are built for that.
// FEATURE A 01 
// FEATURE B 02 Mobile first, not mobile too
Over 70% of your visitors come from mobile. A Heldwerk site is built for mobile and adapted for desktop — not the other way around.
// FEATURE C 03 Content you can maintain yourself
If you want, with a CMS you understand without training. You change text, images, and appointments yourself. For structural changes, call.
// FEATURE D 04 SEO and GEO from the start
Search engine optimization isn't optional — it's built in. Including optimization for AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity.
[ Process ]
From first call to go-live in four steps.
// STEP 01 30 MIN First call (free, 30 minutes)
We talk about your business, your audience, your current situation. You tell me what you need — I tell you whether and how I would build it. No sales pressure.
// STEP 02 1 WEEK Concept and fixed price
Within a week you get a written quote with fixed price, clear scope, and timeline. No uncapped hourly rates.
// STEP 03 ITERATION Build and review
I build. You see progress on a preview domain and give feedback. We iterate until it fits — within the defined scope.
// STEP 04 LIVE Handover and maintenance (optional)
Go-live including training. You can maintain the site alone or sign a maintenance agreement (from CHF 250 / month). Both are equally welcome.
[ Honest about what I skip ]
Where you should go to someone else.
A workshop is also defined by what it doesn't do. If you need any of the following, Heldwerk isn't the right address — and I'll tell you that in the first call.
- ◆ Pure design projects without strategy. If you already have a finished mockup and only need implementation, traditional web developers are cheaper.
- ◆ E-commerce platforms with thousands of items. Shopify and WooCommerce exist for that. I build shops up to a manageable size, not beyond.
- ◆ WordPress maintenance for large legacy sites. That's its own discipline where specialized providers are better.
[ What it costs ]
Fixed prices, communicated transparently.

How long does a typical project take?
A business-card site goes live within three to four weeks. A larger business website within six to eight weeks. More complex projects are planned individually during the concept phase.

[ FRAGE 02 ]
Which technologies do you use?
For marketing sites: Astro, Next.js, Tailwind. For web apps: React, Vue, or Angular depending on the project. For CMS needs: Sanity, TinaCMS, or Bricks Builder (WordPress) if you want autonomy. I don't pick what's most fashionable, but what fits best.
[ FRAGE 03 ]
Where is the site hosted?

[ FRAGE 03 ]
Where is the site hosted?
On Swiss servers or European cloud providers with Swiss data location. Compliant with Swiss data protection law, no data transfer to the US.

[ FRAGE 04 ]
What happens if you're no longer around?
Fair question. Answer: code and content belong to you, everything is documented. You can hire another developer without starting from zero. That's not a marketing promise — it's built in.
[ FRAGE 05 ]
Can you also just do the design?

Can you also just do the design?
No. I don't work as a pure implementer of mockups created elsewhere. If you need that, there are better addresses.
