FAQ

Questions, answered properly.

The things people actually ask me before we start - about cost, technology, ownership and how we'd work together. If yours isn't here, just ask.

How much will my website cost?

Every project is different, so I quote each one individually. Tell me your goals and budget on a first call, and I'll be honest about what's realistic.

Which technology will you use for my project?

Whichever genuinely fits. Astro for fast, content-led sites with a simple editor; WordPress when you want a familiar admin, a specific plugin, or an existing site worth keeping - built custom and lean, without page-builders; Ruby on Rails or Angular when the project is really a web application. I recommend, explain why, and you decide.

Can I update the site myself afterwards?

Yes. I set you up with a simple way to edit text and images, and show you how - no developer call needed for everyday changes.

Do you build web apps as well as websites?

Yes. Beyond websites I build web applications - client portals, booking and RSVP flows, internal tools - in Ruby on Rails or Angular, and I choose the stack around what the app actually has to do. If your idea is better solved as a site with a few custom features, I'll say that too.

Do you design as well as build?

My focus is building. I bring a strong, UX-informed eye for detail and I'm currently training in Product Design (UX/UI), so I can shape the look together with you, or faithfully bring a designer's work to life. For a full brand identity from scratch, I'll tell you honestly - and can recommend a specialist.

Will I own everything?

Yes - once it's paid in full, the code, design and assets are yours. No lock-in.

Do you also fix or improve existing sites?

Yes - I audit, optimise and repair, not only build from scratch. That covers speed and Core Web Vitals, accessibility, search visibility and security. Often a focused improvement is all a site needs.

How fast will my site be?

Fast by design, not by luck. I build performance-first - server-rendered HTML, lean assets, animation added as enhancement rather than as a dependency - and I check real Core Web Vitals before launch rather than trusting a score in a lab.

What languages do you work in?

German, English and Polish. I also build multilingual sites, so yours can speak more than one language to its visitors - properly translated URLs and all.

Where are you based, and do you work remotely?

I'm based in Zürich and work with clients across Switzerland and further afield. Local projects can meet in person whenever it helps; everything else runs smoothly remotely - calls, shared documents, and milestone reviews.

Do you use AI to build websites?

Yes - deliberately and transparently. AI tools move me faster through the repetitive, mechanical parts of a build, so more of your budget goes toward the work that actually requires a human developer: system architecture, custom interactions, performance, accessibility, and clean logic. I review and own every line of code.

Still wondering?

Ask me the one that isn't here.

No question is too small or too obvious. The first call is honest, relaxed and no-pressure.
