Technology and Support
- Are the websites accessible? We design websites to be accessible from the start and orient ourselves to WCAG 2.2 at level AA. This concerns contrast, keyboard operability, meaningful structure and usability with screen readers. That way you reach more people and are well positioned for the requirements of the German Accessibility Reinforcement Act (BFSG). Accessibility is not an afterthought bolted on later but part of the implementation. Which requirements specifically apply to your plans is something we assess in conversation. You can also find the basics on the web design page.
- Where are my website and my data hosted? Your website is hosted in Germany. This is advantageous from a data protection perspective and ensures short paths for questions about operation. Your content and data remain in your access; you are not locked into a closed system. Whether we take over hosting as part of support or continue to use an existing, working environment is something we clarify according to your requirements. It is important to us that you always know where your website is located and who has access.
- How fast are the websites? Speed is a fixed part of our work, not a coincidence. We build websites so that the visible main content appears quickly, aiming for a Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5 seconds. This improves the user experience and has a positive effect on visibility on Google. This is achieved through clean code, optimized images, sensible caching and fast hosting. It pays off especially on smartphones, where a large share of visitors are on the move. Keeping the site fast in the long term is part of the ongoing support.
- Can I maintain content myself? Yes. Your website comes with a content management system that lets you update texts, images and pages yourself, without programming knowledge. On request, we show you or your team in a short briefing how the daily tasks work. Anyone who prefers to hand over changes passes them to us as part of support. Both can be combined: you maintain the everyday content yourself while we take over technology, security and larger adjustments.
- What does ongoing support include? Website care keeps your site up to date, secure and fast. Depending on the package, this includes regular updates of the system and extensions, security measures, automatic backups with tested recovery, monitoring of availability and an allowance for small content changes. The purpose of support is prevention: many problems do not arise in the first place when updates are installed in good time and the website is monitored. This keeps operation predictable, and you do not have to deal with technical details yourself.
- Can you take over an existing website or shop? Yes, taking over existing projects is a common entry point. You do not have to have the website rebuilt in order to switch to us. We begin with an assessment, evaluate the technical condition, identify open points and derive the next steps from that. We then take over the ongoing support and, if it makes sense, a gradual modernization. Whether a hosting migration is necessary or the existing environment can continue to be used is something we assess individually. We take the first step in the initial consultation.
