FAQ

I use a combination of the following products:

• WordPress as a basic CMS with Bricks as a powerful and user-friendly page builder
• Automatic CSS as a CSS framework to ensure a consistent and resonant presentation of content across the website.
• Frames for the use of prefabricated design elements. This creates a symmetrically clean code and ensures that the website is barrier-free.
• Jetengine CPT to display website content dynamically in the frontend. This enables the maintenance of content via a form-based input.
• Other optional solutions can be used on top as required

The process for creating a website looks roughly like this:

1. I conduct an initial consultation to clarify all the important points – for example:
   1. Domain name
   2. Hosting
   3. Languages
   4. E-mail addresses
   5. Corporate goals to be achieved with the homepage
   6. Differentiation / differentiation from competitors
2. UX design: Together with you, I design a basic framework for the website based on wireframes. This does not yet contain any design elements but only the blocks with which the individual pages are to be constructed
3. UI design: Now it’s time to create a design. This involves defining colors, fonts and the individual designs of the wireframe blocks created in the UX design phase. There are basically two approaches here:
   1. You commission a professional design agency to create one (I then implement it in Bricks)
   2. I develop this according to your specifications
4. Once the design has been approved, I build the homepage in Bricks according to your specifications. You provide me with the content (photos, text, etc.) and I implement it. Alternatively, I can also create images and suitable texts (copywriting) according to your specifications. I also create a legally compliant legal notice and a data protection page according to your specifications. I optimize the site for all end devices (desktop, tablet, smartphones). Together with you, I will fine-tune and coordinate the final design of the website.
5. After final approval, I put the website live and transfer it to my maintenance tools.
6. This is the end of the process; further services can of course follow, e.g. performance or search engine optimization.

This point is not so easy to answer, because the cost is calculated according to many variables. While a simple website with just a little content can be realized for around 1,000 euros, the creation of a complex website with multilingualism, integration of chatbots or similar can go into a higher 4-5 digit range – depending on the effort involved.

The following video explains more:

With a homepage created by me, the conclusion of a maintenance contract is obligatory (costs currently amount to 500 Euro / year or 50 Euro / month for the most booked package). This includes the provision of all licenses and ongoing support of the website, incl. of installing security updates, 24 x 7 monitoring and minor adjustments. However, you are welcome to provide the licenses, but it will be much more expensive for you, as you will not benefit from my contingent conditions. Currently, the license costs for all software used amount to approx. 512US dollars for a single purchase!
