What does web design cost in Freiburg?

Design is part of the website price, never a separate line: websites start from €500, and you get a fixed quote after a short call. A small visual system is included in most projects.

Do I need a logo and brand first?

No. If you have one we build on it; if not, a small visual system (type, colours, a wordmark) is part of most projects.

Can you redesign my existing site instead of starting over?

Yes. A redesign keeps your content and URLs and replaces the look and the build – see our website relaunch page.

Which tools do you design with?

Quick sketches in Figma, then straight into code. Real layouts in the browser beat static mockups because they show real text, real widths and real speed.

Do you build with WordPress or Wix?

Usually not. We hand-build with HTML, CSS and Django where a backend is needed. If a page builder is genuinely the better fit for you, we say so.

How long does the design take?

First layouts within a week of the kick-off; the whole site is usually live in 4–8 weeks.

Is the website accessible?

Yes – contrast, keyboard navigation, headings, alt texts and German typography are part of every design, in line with WCAG 2.1 AA and the BFSG.

Web design in Freiburg

Web design in Freiburg: design you see in the browser, not in a deck

Most web design starts with a mockup that looks perfect and then meets reality: real headlines that are longer, real photos that are darker, a phone that is narrower than the artboard. We skip that step. After a short call you see real layouts with your real copy in your own browser within the first week, and we refine on real screens. There is no moment where the mockup and the site disagree, because there is no mockup.

Quick sketches happen in Figma when they help; the design itself lives in code from day one. That is also why a Freiburg client can open the preview on the tram and comment on it the same afternoon.

What good web design means in 2026

It is mobile first, because most of your visitors arrive on a phone. It is fast – a design that needs four seconds to appear is a design nobody sees, which is why every one of our sites ships with a performance budget and lands at Lighthouse 95 or better. It is accessible: readable contrast, keyboard navigation, proper headings and alt texts, which since June 2025 the Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG) requires of many businesses that sell to consumers. And it is typographically German – the right dashes, quotation marks and hyphenation, which most templates get wrong.

Above all, good design is honest about what the business is. A practice does not need a hero video; a craft business needs its work to be visible in three seconds; a founder needs one clear promise. We design for the customer who lands on the page, not for the portfolio.

Web design agency or web designer in Freiburg?

A web designer usually delivers the design and hands it to someone else to build; a web design agency delivers both, at agency prices. We are a third option: a studio where design and development are done by the same person. The layout you approve is built by the one who drew it, which is why nothing gets lost between the mockup and the site – and why we can quote a fixed price for the whole thing rather than a design fee plus a build fee.

Web design prices in Freiburg

Design is never a separate line on our quotes; it is part of the website. Websites with us start from €500; what your project costs is fixed in writing after a short call, and a small visual system – typography, colours, a wordmark – is included in most projects if you don't have a brand yet. The website costs page breaks the ranges down; the Freiburg agency page covers how we work locally.

Redesigning an existing site

Often the content is fine and the design is what is holding you back. A redesign keeps your pages and URLs, replaces the look and the build, and moves you off a platform you cannot leave. We treat that as a relaunch: audit first, every old URL redirected, no ranking lost.

How a web design project with us runs

Listen: a short call, no slides. Sketch: layouts in your browser within a week. Build: staged on a live preview URL, with weekly check-ins. Ship: launch on the agreed date, hand-off, a short training. Freiburg clients can do the first and last step in person – in Herdern, in the Wiehre, in your workshop in Haslach, wherever you are.
