Who does web design in Aarau?

GRAFWERK is a web studio run by Manuel Graf at Rheinstrasse 58 in 8212 Neuhausen am Rheinfall, around 54 kilometres to the south-west of Aarau. Websites are built there by hand as their own code, without a builder and without a bought template.

What does a website in Aarau cost?

A one-pager starts at CHF 490, a five-page site costs CHF 990, each additional page CHF 100. Larger projects run via a quote. After the concept you receive a fixed price – the prices apply regardless of location.

Why not an agency from Zurich or Basel straight away?

If you have a large project with many participants, that is the right route. For a business that needs a good, fast website at a clear price, a one-person studio is usually the more direct one – and considerably cheaper.

How large should I state my catchment area?

As large as you actually work. An exaggeratedly wide catchment weakens the association with your own location instead of bringing additional reach – Google weights proximity to the searcher heavily.

How long until the website is online?

A one-pager is online in two to three weeks, a multi-page site in four to six weeks. The exact date depends on how quickly texts and images are available.

Web design Aarau

Web design for Aarau

Aarau is the capital of the canton of Aargau and lies 54 kilometres south-west of the studio, roughly halfway between Zurich and Basel. This position shapes the town: it is an administrative centre and at the same time part of a densely populated economic area between two large cities.

Cantonal capital between two centres

As the seat of the cantonal administration, Aarau attracts law firms, fiduciary offices and associations. Added to this is a broad trades sector serving Aargau as a whole – from construction and finishing work to technical service providers.

The proximity to Zurich and Basel cuts both ways: many Aargau businesses get their website from providers in the large cities, while conversely Aargau providers compete in both directions. The market is thereby more open than the population figure suggests.

A canton without a dominating centre

Aargau has no large city. Baden, Aarau, Wettingen, Olten in the neighbouring canton – the centres are medium-sized and lie close together. For local search that means queries spread across many places and no single term dominates.

Anyone wanting to be visible in Aargau therefore rarely gets by with one place name. More effective is the combination of service and region – and a business profile whose catchment is set realistically rather than as large as possible.

How working together runs

The first conversation happens at your choice on site or by video – both take about half an hour and cost nothing. At 54 kilometres I am happy to come by for acceptance and handover when the project warrants it.

In every case you speak with the same person who also builds your site. There is no handover to a project team and no change of contact halfway through.

What a website costs

The prices stand openly on the site instead of appearing only after a sales conversation. They apply regardless of location.

A one-pager starts at CHF 490 and is online in two to three weeks. A five-page site costs CHF 990, each additional page CHF 100, and takes four to six weeks. Larger projects with additional features run via a quote.

After the concept you receive a fixed price. There are no recurring licence costs for a builder system, because none is in use. Hosting, updates and support are available from CHF 45 per month, cancellable monthly.

Hand-written instead of assembled

Every page comes into being as its own code. That is more work than a template, but it has two noticeable consequences: the pages load quickly, because no unused scaffolding is carried along, and they can be extended later without the rebuild failing on the system.

The site belongs to you. If you later want to take over its operation yourself or pass it on, that is possible – there is no tie to a system only I can operate.
