QUESTIONS. ANSWERS.

We talk briefly, sharpen the goal, set structure and look. Then I build it and put the site live.

You do. Domain, hosting and the finished foundation sit in your name or with your provider. You are not tied to anyone.

Usually 1 to 4 weeks depending on the package. A landing page about 1 week, larger builds longer. If content and feedback come in fast, it moves faster.

Yes. That is exactly what the foundation is for. You get a proper handover and can maintain text, images and content yourself later on.

If you want: yes. Updates, backups, small improvements or ads can be added later. But only if it actually makes sense for you.

Then we fix it. Two revision rounds are part of every package. The exact scope gets locked into your quote. And to prevent issues in the first place: moodboard and clear briefing before we start.

No problem, that's the normal case. I write copy as part of every package. You give me keywords, a few sample sentences and a short briefing about your business; the rest happens during the project.

Little. Three to four sessions across the whole project: discovery call (15 min), briefing & moodboard (45-60 min), design review (30 min), launch walkthrough (60 min). In between, almost everything runs asynchronously via email or WhatsApp; you reply when you have time. Reply usually within 4 hours, on weekdays.

Two weeks before expiry you get a reminder email from me. It includes the current state of the site, pending updates and three options. First: continue with a care plan from €49/month. Second: book a one-off update package. Third: do nothing. A subscription never starts on its own. If you do nothing, the site keeps running normally; you (or another pro) take over the WordPress updates and backups yourself. No drama.

First a short call (free, 15 min), then a quote. After confirmation: briefing, moodboard, implementation in stages with feedback loops. You always see where things stand.

Not really. If you have text, photos or a logo: great. If not, we sort it out during the project. I can write copy for you if needed.

I have built for restaurants, practices, bands, tradespeople and service providers. Industry is secondary, though. The site has to bring inquiries, that's my job.

The only mandatory recurring costs are external things like domain and hosting. Support, maintenance or ads you add when you need them.

The agreed package scope: structure, design, implementation, responsive build and launch. Anything extra we clarify up front in the quote.

Then we start lean. A clean foundation that works and can grow later.

A funding program by the Austrian Federal ministry for Economy, Energy and Tourism (BMWET) together with the Austrian Chamber of Commerce (WKÖ). Supports digitalisation projects of Austrian SMEs, explicitly including new websites, web relaunches and e-commerce. Details at kmudigital.at.

30 percent of the eligible project volume. Eligible projects fall between €2,000 and €30,000. Maximum funding is €6,000 per project, reached at a project volume of €20,000 and capped above that. Example: at €3,490 gross = €1,047 subsidy, effective net €2,443. The binding amount is whatever AWS writes in your reservation confirmation.

YES, binding. Per the official FAQ at kmudigital.at, the implementation application can ONLY be filed if a funded KMU.DIGITAL consulting (Status & Potential Analysis OR Strategy Consulting, from call 3.1 onwards) has been completed AND paid out by the funding body. The business reference number from that consulting is a required field on the implementation application. Skipping the consulting means the implementation application cannot be filed at all.

Online at the AWS Fördermanager (foerdermanager.aws.at), only AFTER the funded consulting has been paid out. Its business reference number is a required field. IMPORTANT: the implementation application must be in place BEFORE you commission the project, otherwise the funding is lost. Reservation confirmation typically arrives within 14 days. Only then do you commission me officially.

Eligible items include: new website builds, relaunches, e-commerce, SEO architecture and performance work. Pure ongoing marketing costs (ads, social spend) sit outside this funding pot. AWS clarifies which line items qualify in your specific case via the reservation confirmation.

Austrian small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with an active trade licence and a registered office or business location in Austria. The exact eligibility criteria (employee thresholds, revenue limits, industry exclusions) are binding in the funding guideline at kmudigital.at.

No. I am not a certified KMU.DIGITAL partner, I am not certified for the KMU.DIGITAL consulting track and I do not offer funding consulting. The mandatory pre-consulting must be done by a certified KMU.DIGITAL consultant (directory on kmudigital.at). Once that consulting has been paid out, you file the implementation application yourself at the AWS Fördermanager. I provide the quote and scope for the website implementation.

Then the project simply runs without funding. My fixed-price offer doesn't change. The subsidy is a bonus, not a built-in price component. You only decide whether to commission me after AWS replies.

Realistically plan for the full process including mandatory pre-consulting: Funded KMU.DIGITAL consulting (booking + delivery + payout): typically 4 to 8 weeks depending on consultant availability. Implementation application: about 30 minutes online. Reservation confirmation: up to 14 days. Website build: 1 to 4 weeks depending on the package. Implementation funding payout: 1 to 3 weeks after final invoice. Realistic full cycle: 12 to 20 weeks from consulting start to implementation payout.

Yes, it's a separate track for sustainability-related digitalisation projects (e.g. low-CO₂ hosting, energy efficiency tracking, circular economy). One classic and one GREEN project per company can run in parallel. Theoretically up to €12,000 total funding. Details at kmudigital.at under "kmudigital-green".

According to the BMWET, the new implementation-funding round has been open since 7 May 2026 (programme runtime through 31 December 2026). Important, as of June 2026: the classic KMU.DIGITAL consulting budget for 2026 is exhausted, new consulting applications are expected only from 2027. Since a completed, paid-out consultation is a mandatory prerequisite for implementation, implementation funding currently applies mainly to businesses that have already finished their consultation; otherwise the KMU.DIGITAL & GREEN track remains an alternative. Funds are allocated first-come-first-served; latest status always at kmudigital.at.

WordPress is my default for sites that should look strong and stay maintainable. When it fits, I code your theme entirely myself. Modern stack with React, Tailwind, Vite and TypeScript where it fits, no page-builder sprawl. I add custom plugins on top (e.g. CALIVO for therapy practices or TAMSANG for restaurants), all on your own hosting. Nothing is off-the-shelf marketplace material.

Tailor-made. Stock WordPress only knows "Posts", "Pages" and "Media", but most professions actually work with concerts, patients, dishes, events, invoices or course dates. I build dedicated sections in the admin that speak your language. Examples: Edenbridge has 26 custom managers (tour, discography, gallery, lyrics, presskit), Praxis Hofbauer works with the CALIVO cockpit (records, calendar, invoices), Thaihaus Som with a dish editor, daily-special banner and Tamsang dashboard. Your backend will be designed the same way: out of your daily work.

Yes, provided multiple people are involved. By default I set up two roles: owner (full access including settings, API keys, accounting) and staff (just daily business, no critical settings). Larger projects get finer-grained roles, e.g. "service" sees only reservations, "accounting" only invoices, "intern" only proofreading. Sensitive fields like Stripe keys or patient records are role-encrypted, no chance of seeing them by accident.

Because clean structure, speed and maintainability pay off long term. I would rather build a clear foundation than a colorful house of cards.

Tech, page structure, internal linking, structured data. In that order. Goal: Google finds you, and answer engines like ChatGPT or Perplexity cite your page when someone asks a relevant question. No magic tricks, just clean groundwork.

Your site is built so you do not depend on me. Code lives in a repository in your name, domain registered to you, hosting in your account, WordPress admin access with you. WordPress is open source, the code style is documented, no hidden custom parts. If I am unavailable, whether for two weeks or permanently, any WordPress pro can take over without friction. Care plans are also cancellable monthly so you are not tied there either. The whole setup is built this way on purpose, because I am a one-person operation and do not work with partner agencies in the background.

It stays yours. Three possible paths: 1) The domain stays at its current registrar; we configure DNS to point at the new hosting. 2) The domain gets transferred to your new host (typically 3 to 7 days). 3) You keep your existing email address separately. In all three cases the switch happens with zero downtime because the new site only goes live once everything is in place.

I don't host myself, on purpose. Hosting runs in your account at the provider of your choice (or my recommendation, usually World4you or Hetzner). That's cleaner for you: you pay directly, you cancel directly, you have direct support contact. If you want, I set everything up as a small task (SSL, backups, mail configuration). But ownership stays with you.
