Web design Zurich
Web design for Zurich
Zurich is the densest market for web design in Switzerland. Between sole traders, digital agencies and international networks, every order of magnitude can be found here – and every price range. For a business that needs a website and not a campaign, this is more of a hindrance than a help: you end up comparing offers that are barely comparable.
Who needs a website in Zurich
The city's large employers – banks, insurers, consultancies – have their own departments for their online presence. The others are the interesting ones: practices, law firms, trades businesses, studios, restaurants, one-person companies. They make up the bulk of Zurich's economy and face the same problem as everywhere else, only with more noise around them.
For them, an agency with project management, a concept phase and rounds of alignment is usually oversized. What is needed is a page that explains the offer clearly, loads fast and gets found – at a price that matches the size of the business.
Visibility in an oversaturated market
Ranking at the top for “web design Zurich” is practically hopeless – there you compete with firms whose advertising budgets exceed the price of an entire website. Realistic and more effective is the combination of district, industry and service: someone running a physiotherapy practice in Wiedikon gets found through exactly that, not through a generic term.
The same applies to answers from AI systems: for general questions they fall back on comparison portals, for concrete ones on the page that answers the question directly. Being specific in Zurich is not modesty, it is the only strategy with any prospect.
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 35 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.
Frequently asked questions
- Who does web design in Zurich?
- GRAFWERK is a web studio run by Manuel Graf at Rheinstrasse 58 in 8212 Neuhausen am Rheinfall, around 35 kilometres to the south of Zurich. Websites are built there by hand as their own code, without a builder and without a bought template.
- What does a website in Zurich 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.
- Is a provider from Schaffhausen worthwhile for a business in Zurich?
- The question is fair. The difference lies not in the distance – 35 kilometres is half an hour – but in the structure: at GRAFWERK you speak throughout with the person who also builds. Anyone who does not need that is equally well served by a Zurich agency.
- Can I rank at the top in Zurich for “web design Zurich”?
- Honestly: hardly. The term is one of the most contested in Switzerland. There is a prospect in the combination of district, industry and service – for example “dentist website Zurich Oerlikon”. That brings fewer searches, but the right ones.
- 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.
