How long does a web design project take in Basel?

A typical corporate website project takes 6–8 weeks from kick-off to go-live. More extensive projects with custom development or online stores require 10–14 weeks. We work with fixed milestones, so you always know where we stand.

Do you also handle hosting and maintenance?

Yes, we offer managed web hosting in Swiss data centers with daily backups, SSL certificates, and a 99.9% uptime guarantee. Our maintenance packages include regular updates, security monitoring, and priority support.

Basic on-page SEO setup is included in every project. For a comprehensive SEO strategy, we offer a separate project with a customized quote – please contact us for details.

Do you also work with existing websites?

Absolutely. We carry out redesigns, migrations, performance optimizations, and extensions for existing websites. Many Basel-based companies come to us because their current website is too slow or not mobile-optimized.

Do you also offer custom programming?

Yes, custom development is one of our core competencies. From API integrations and custom plugins to complete web applications – our developers can implement even the most demanding technical requirements.

What are the additional costs for digital marketing consulting?

We create customized proposals for comprehensive marketing consulting. An initial strategy session is often included in our web design projects. For ongoing campaigns or content marketing, we work with monthly retainers or project-based budgets.

How do you ensure that my website ranks well in search engines?

We focus on technical SEO, content quality, and local optimization. For Basel-focused businesses, we create local landing pages, optimize Google My Business, and build local backlinks. Rankings don't happen overnight, but with our strategy, clients typically see significant improvements after 3–6 months.

Our process

Our proven 5-step process

How does your web design project proceed with us? You receive a clearly defined process with fixed deliverables and timelines. We align every step with your goals – whether you want to generate more leads, build an online shop, or strengthen your brand in Basel.

Phase 1

Kick-off & Objectives

During a web design project in Basel for an industrial company from Muttenz, we discovered in this phase that 60% of visitors come via mobile devices – the mobile-first strategy was therefore established.

Practical tip: Many clients underestimate Phase 1 – a precise KPI briefing with clearly defined goals saves up to 30% in revision time later.

Deliverables: target image, sitemap, measurement plan

Phase 2

Wireframes & Concept

For larger web design projects in Basel, we develop low- and mid-fidelity wireframes in Figma that visualize the structure and user experience of your website. For smaller projects, we develop the design using sample pages (homepage, content page), thus shortening phases 2 and 3. This allows you to see early on how your visitors will navigate the website.

Deliverables: Clickable prototype for approval

Phase 3

Phase 3: UI Design & Design System

Now visual web design comes into play. We create a custom design system with components, color palette, typography, and imagery – tailored to your Basel-based brand's corporate design. Every design element serves a strategic purpose.

Deliverables: Final Figma prototype

Phase 4

Development & Integration

Updated : Our developers in Basel implement web designs using WordPress, Joomla, or Shopify according to today's relevant web standards. This includes modular sections, Schema.org integration, lazy loading, and responsive design for all devices, as well as clean, maintainable code. Thanks to our expertise in WordPress development and Joomla implementation , we guarantee the highest quality in programming your individual solution.

A practical web design example: For a Basel-based service provider, we developed custom post types in WordPress that allow the editorial team to maintain news and project pages independently – without needing a developer for every change.

Deliverables: Staging URL for testing

Phase 5

Quality Assurance & Go-Live

Comprehensive web design testing across all devices and browsers, performance tuning, a redirect plan for existing URLs, tracking implementation, and final go-live. You'll receive a launch checklist and an introduction to managing your new website. The final migration to your web hosting is seamless, including SSL setup and performance testing.

Deliverables:  Live website, training, documentation
