Websites for businesses in Carinthia that earn their year in a few weeks. Booking happens in spring, and it gets decided where you are found.
In Carinthia, for many businesses the bulk of annual revenue hangs on a few weeks in summer, and booking happens as early as spring. That shifts the whole calculation: a website has to be found in March and April, not in July, and it then has to answer immediately why somebody should drive to the Wörthersee rather than Lake Garda. Anyone finishing a new site only in May has missed the season they built it for.
TIMING
We deliberately schedule Carinthian projects for autumn and winter so the site stands before bookings begin. Between March and June we only build what is urgent there, because any change in that phase costs bookings rather than bringing them.
GANZJAHRESGESCHÄFT
Outside the season the local market is small, and it is getting smaller, because Carinthia has the weakest population development of any Austrian province. For many businesses that means the website also has to work beyond the region, for shipping or for customers from Vienna and Graz.
VERGLEICH
Anyone looking for a summer holiday in spring rarely compares Carinthia with Styria, they compare it with northern Italy and Croatia. So the website does not have to explain why your business is better than the one in the next village, but why the region is the right choice at all.
A website in Carinthia starts at 2,500€ with us for a one-pager, 4,500€ for the usual five to ten pages, and 7,500€ with multiple languages or booking system integration. In tourism the third tier is usually the right one. For seasonal businesses the timing matters more than the price: a project starting in October is finished in February and ready in time for the booking phase.

When more than a website is involved.
I write the quote, I design, I build. You do not get an account manager standing between you and the work, you talk to the same person from the first question until after launch.
If something does not make sense, I say so, even when that makes the project smaller. In the long run that is more pleasant for both sides. I prefer coming to Carinthia in winter, when we both have time and nothing hangs on it.
Four to eight weeks from the first conversation to going live. The one point where things regularly stall is content. Copy, images and logo come from you, and whoever delivers early goes live earlier. Everything else is on us.
We listen, look at what you already have and send a quote with a fixed price.
This is where projects usually stall. Copy, images and logo come from you, we handle the rest. Deliver early and you go live earlier.
You see a real draft in the browser, not just a picture. Two rounds of revisions are included.
Development, load time, structure for Google, testing on real devices. Nothing needed from you here.
Migration, redirects from the old addresses, registration with Google. Then we hand over and you can maintain it yourself.
Four to eight weeks as a rule. The moment your content arrives is what decides.
Among the tourism provinces Carinthia has the most lopsided distribution. Tyrol and Salzburg have winter as a second leg that balances the summer. In Carinthia the emphasis lies clearly on the weeks between late June and late August, and anyone not fully booked in that time will not make up for it in autumn.
That has two practical consequences for a website. First, the timing of the build co-decides the outcome, because a site going live in May has missed the booking phase. Second, almost every business needs a second theme for the rest of the year, whether shipping, corporate clients or domestic guests. So we always ask about both and not only about the summer.
With Klagenfurt and Villach, Carinthia has two centres only forty kilometres apart that share the same catchment. So different rules apply to businesses in either city than to one on a lake, and there are separate pages for those.
That is a good three hours. For the work it does not matter, it happens on your website. For a first conversation we travel there, ideally in winter, because that is when both you and we have time. In July we deliberately do not come with proposals, that would be the wrong moment.
Google measures three values on real visitors, not in a lab. The largest element has to load in under 2.5 seconds, input has to be answered within 200 milliseconds, and the layout must not jump. All three have to pass, otherwise the page fails. Every website we build in Kärnten is checked against exactly these values before it goes live.

Because with seasonal businesses we talk about timing first and design second. We would advise against a quote in May, even though it earns us something short term, because a change in the middle of the booking phase costs more than it brings. On top of that we ask about the second leg instead of only making the summer look good. For ten months of the year the site decides something other than bookings.
If your business sits in the provincial capital, different rules apply than by the lake. For that there is our page for Klagenfurt.
For Villach with its industry and its proximity to Italy and Slovenia there is likewise our page for Villach.
Tell us when your season runs and what you live off the rest of the time. The schedule follows from that.
A website starts at 2,500€ with us for a one-pager, 4,500€ for the usual scope of five to ten pages and 7,500€ with multiple languages or integration with existing systems. That is a fixed price, not an hourly rate. In tourism the third tier is usually right, because multiple languages and often a booking connection come into play.
In autumn or winter. In Carinthia booking happens as early as spring, and a site going live in May has missed the booking phase it was built for. A project starting in October is finished in February and ready in time. Between March and June we only do what is urgent there.
That is the more important question, and it rarely gets asked. Carinthia has the weakest population development of any province, the local market outside summer is small. For many businesses that means the website also has to work beyond the region, for shipping, corporate clients or guests from Vienna and Graz.
Rarely the business in the next village. Anyone looking for a summer holiday in spring compares Carinthia with northern Italy and Croatia. So the site first has to explain why the region is the right choice, and only then why you are the right business within it.
Yes, because different rules apply there. In the two cities it is not the summer season that decides but the question of whether to address one or both city areas. If your business sits in either city, those pages are the better fit.
