Your business comes first

What makes your business different? Which services matter most? And what do your customers want to know before getting in touch? We work that out with you.

We combine years of experience and a practical business perspective with modern tools to create a clear, well-presented website. We handle the design, technical setup and launch.

Comparison of current guide prices for the same standard scope, excluding VAT. Not a limited-time promotion. Operation and external services are separate.

The shop add-on requires a suitable existing WordPress site. If that foundation is missing, we clarify what needs building first. The complete package includes both website and shop; you don’t need the individual offers as well.

You can still add a shop later. A package is only worthwhile if you actually need its features. Compare WordPress and other solutions in the guide.

What does the personalized report include?

The report shows your website’s metrics, reporting period and data timestamp. Technical values are assessed against fixed rules: within target, watch, action needed or unavailable. Visits, Google search traffic and contact clicks are included where measurement is configured. Without an agreed target, visitor numbers are not automatically good or bad; a contact click is not a confirmed enquiry. Measurement scope, access and the first reporting period are agreed before starting. Missing data remains labelled as unmeasured. Personal interpretation, marketing recommendations and consulting are separate.

Assistance and scope

Assistance covers small technical website and email tasks, such as setting up an email address. Unused time does not carry over. Correcting defects in our own contracted operation does not consume these minutes. Support is available Monday to Friday, excluding local public holidays. Among similarly urgent requests, Business has higher priority, followed by Pro. No 24/7 availability or guaranteed resolution time. Licences, device support, migrations, new features, webshops and integrations are agreed separately. Storage, monitoring and backup scope are only promised as confirmed; Google controls indexing.

Pro and Business are agreed personally with scope, start date and monthly or annual billing. Content care is annual. With monthly billing, Pro includes 5 minutes and Business 20 minutes of additional work per paid month; unused time does not carry over. Requests do not activate a package. Direct Atelier checkout purchases Basic. Cancellation at the end of the paid period, no automatic debit. Existing agreements remain unchanged.

Build, operation and support

What would you like to handle yourself?

An introduction to the agreed tasks is included in setup. Then you choose: edit content yourself and leave the technical side to us, or have us handle ongoing changes too.

How it works

From your idea to a finished website.

  1. Getting to know you

    Tell us about your business and your customers. Existing content and examples help us get started.

  2. Agreeing the scope

    We suggest a structure. Services, price, operation and timing are set out in your quote.

  3. Reviewing it together

    You receive a preview. We discuss your feedback and make the agreed changes.

  4. Going live

    We check the display and contact options, then publish after your approval. We stay available afterwards.

For existing websites too

A clearer picture of where you stand.

A new website isn’t always the first step. Sometimes a closer look at your current site or a properly set up Google profile is more useful.

Connecting print and digital

Your print stays the same. Its destination can change.

A dynamic QR code connects your printed materials to a managed redirect. For a new promotion or website change, we update the destination after your approval. The address, term and operation are agreed before printing.

Dynamic QR code

Your print stays the same. The destination behind the QR code can change.

  • Agreed redirect address for your printed code
  • Fabrik4 can change the destination later

For a destination that stays the same, a basic QR code is often enough. We help you choose the right option for your use.

A few clear answers

What you may want to know before starting.

How does the Atelier differ from a managed website?

Homepage Atelier is our do-it-yourself option. For CHF 190.- a year including VAT, you get the tools to create and maintain your own website. Your own web address, one email mailbox and technical operation are included. With the personally managed option, we handle development, coordination and completion within the agreed scope. The main difference is how much you want to do yourself.

Do I need to supply finished text and images?

No, they don’t need to be perfect. Existing material, your logo and a conversation are a good start. We clarify what can be reused and where new text or images are needed. Extensive new content is discussed in advance.

Can I edit the content myself?

Yes. In Homepage Atelier, you can edit text, images and design yourself, including later on your existing site. The editor is included in the annual price. For a personally managed website, we agree in advance which content you want to maintain and which tasks we handle. WordPress with configured templates and a personal introduction is also possible.

How soon can my website go live?

That depends on the scope, available content and our capacity. We agree the timing before starting. Complete material and timely feedback help us finish sooner.

Do I have to change my domain or email?

Not necessarily. We review your existing setup first and agree any changes with you. Domains, mailboxes and any external costs are listed in the quote.

Do you also offer WordPress and online shops?

Yes. You can choose WordPress without a shop, a shop add-on for a suitable existing WordPress site, or the combined package. Simple website options do not include a shop. Taking over existing websites and shop data is planned separately.

Why are these guide prices?

Not every business starts from the same point. Existing content, scope and specific requirements affect the work involved. That’s why you receive a specific quote before we begin.

Let’s look at your project

Tell us briefly what you need.

A link to your current website, a few details about your business or an initial idea are enough. We help you work out the next useful step.
