Frequently asked questions

How much does a website cost in Zurich?

It varies with the number of pages, the design work, the system used, the languages, shop functions and integrations. Some studios publish starting prices for small sites and shops, while custom projects are quoted individually. Ask whether hosting, maintenance and content writing are included or billed separately.

How long does it take to build a website?

A small company site often takes a few weeks, while larger sites with shops, several languages or custom features take months. Timing depends heavily on how quickly you supply texts, images and feedback.

Should I choose WordPress or another system?

WordPress is widespread and many agencies can maintain it, which makes switching providers easier. Shopify suits online shops, and systems such as Contao, Craft or django CMS suit specific needs. Ask the agency why it recommends a system and what updates will cost each year.
