Websites for Styrian businesses outside Graz. For customers who travel in from three districts, and for places that appear in no standard report.
In Styria outside Graz the starting point is different than in the city. Your customers do not come from the neighbouring district, they come from a radius of thirty or fifty kilometres, and they search for the place they live in, not the one you sit in. So a web design agency here has to work with municipality names instead of the province, and the site has to be built to arrive quickly on mediocre reception too.
GEMEINDE STATT LAND
Optimising for Styria as a whole achieves almost nothing. Someone searching in Leibnitz gets different results than someone in Bruck an der Mur. We include the municipalities your customers actually travel from, and those are usually different from the ones you would guess first.
ÜBERREGIONAL
Many businesses in Upper Styria and the southeast have long since stopped selling only into their own municipality, they sell across Austria or into Slovenia. That needs both: local visibility for walk-in trade and a site that also holds up beyond the region. Those are two different jobs on one website.
NETZ // TEMPO
Not every Styrian municipality has good reception, and many of your visitors look on the move. We build without unnecessary scripts and heavy images and keep load time under 2.5 seconds. In the countryside a slow site stands out more than in the city.
A website in Styria starts at 2,500€ with us for a well-considered one-pager, which is what many smaller businesses need, 4,500€ for the usual five to ten pages, and 7,500€ when multiple languages or integration with existing systems come into play. The price is fixed up front. Us sitting in Vienna changes nothing about that, these are the same rates as for clients in Graz or Vienna.

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 drive to Styria for the first conversation, after that video is faster for both of us.
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.
Styria has around one million inhabitants, and fewer than a third of them live in Graz. The rest spread across an area reaching from Upper Styria with its industry through the spa region in the east to the wine-growing areas in the south. Those regions have little to do with each other economically, and their businesses look for a website for entirely different reasons.
What connects them is distance. A business in Judenburg does not compete with one in Graz, it competes with the one in the next village, and its customers will happily drive forty minutes for a service. That is exactly what a website has to reflect: not being visible as broadly as possible, but being unmissable within a clearly defined radius.
If your business sits in Graz itself, this page is not the right one. There it is about districts, about an audience with two universities and about a city that judges design. We have both, because they are two different jobs.
We sit in Vienna, and depending on the district Styria is two to three hours away. For the work that does not matter, it happens on your website. For a first conversation we drive out if you want, and everything after that runs over video, because it is faster than half a day of travel.
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 Steiermark is checked against exactly these values before it goes live.

Because we first ask where your customers come from and only then design. In a large rural province that is the single most important question, and it rarely gets asked. Many websites of Styrian businesses are decently made but name not a single place other than their own. That gives away exactly the customers who would drive forty minutes. On top of that, you talk to the same person who builds the site, and prices are fixed up front with us.
Tell us what you do and which places your customers come from. You get a fixed price and a date, without a sales call.
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. Us sitting in Vienna changes nothing about that, these are the same rates as for clients in Graz or Vienna. What moves the price is scope and how much copy and imagery already exists.
Yes, that is exactly what it is for. For businesses in Graz itself we have a page of its own, which is about districts and an urban audience. This page is for Upper Styria and the south and east, where distances are greater and customers travel in from several municipalities.
The ones your customers actually come from, and those are often different from the ones you would guess. Before building we ask about your recent jobs and look at how far people drove. Optimising for Styria as a whole achieves almost nothing, because Google weighs distance heavily.
Four to eight weeks depending on scope. The slowest part is usually not us but texts and photos. If both are missing, we write the texts and tell you which images are needed. For photos we recommend somebody near you, without commission.
For the first conversation we drive to Styria if you want. After that coordination runs over video, because that is faster for both sides than half a day of travel. We do not invent a local branch office that does not exist.
