The preview first, then the decision
We do not start with a briefing meeting or a specification document, but with a draft. From your profession, your area of practice and publicly available information about your firm, we design a preview with structure, colours and first texts. So you can see what your website could look like before you invest time or money.
If you like the direction, we discuss in a short call what should be adjusted and which package suits your firm. Only then do you receive a quote. If the preview does not appeal to you, that is where it ends, at no cost.
Your part: key points, photos, details for the legal notice
To get started, a few details are enough: your areas of practice as key points, the team members with their roles, your office hours and, if available, photos of you and your offices. If you have an existing website, we take over whatever still fits. We use your logo and firm colours if you already have them, otherwise we suggest suitable ones.
For the legal notice, we need the details required by your professional rules, such as your professional title and the state in which it was awarded, the competent chamber, your Firmenbuch or Handelsregister number (company register), your UID-Nummer or USt-IdNr. (VAT ID) and, depending on your profession, your professional indemnity insurance. Our free legal notice generator helps you put this together.
Who writes the texts, and who is responsible for them
From your key points, we write texts that clients understand: without jargon, but also without simplifications that would be technically wrong. We know the main advertising rules of each profession and write in a correspondingly restrained tone.
Professional and regulatory responsibility nonetheless remains with you. That is why you read every text before launch. Anything that is not correct or does not sound like you, we change. Where a phrase could be sensitive under your professional rules, we flag it so you can look at it specifically. We do not provide legal advice in the process.
Work in progress under a preview address
While we build it, the website lives at its own preview address that only you know. You can view it on your phone and laptop, together with partners or your front office too. You send feedback by email or discuss it with us on the phone.
These rounds do not change the price, because the package is a fixed price with no hourly billing. The website only goes live under your domain once you have approved the content.
In firms with several partners, coordination is often the slowest part. It helps to name one person early on who collects feedback and gives approval. Everyone else can still look at the preview link at any time.
Moving from your old website without a gap
If you already have a domain, you keep it. We set up redirects so that old addresses lead to the matching new pages and links in email signatures, directories and search results keep working.
Email mailboxes often run on the same domain. Before switching over, we clarify where your emails are hosted, so no message is lost in the move. If you wish, we take over the mailboxes with the email management module.
After launch: ongoing support, not silence
Hosting and maintenance start with the launch: servers, SSL certificate, security updates and backups are our responsibility. If you have questions, you reach the same team that built the website, by phone Monday to Friday from 8 am to 6 pm and by email at any time.
If something changes, such as a new team member, different office hours or an additional area of practice, you update it yourself in the CMS or send it to us.
