Websites for businesses in Vorarlberg whose customers come from three countries. Built for a Rhine valley where the border barely matters day to day.
In Vorarlberg the market does not end at the provincial border, it reaches across the Rhine and Lake Constance. For a website that means three concrete things: your address and phone number have to work for somebody calling from Switzerland, prices need a form a Swiss customer can place, and the site has to be findable for searches from abroad, not only from Austria. Most Vorarlberg websites overlook that.
GRENZE // DREI LÄNDER
Between Bregenz and Feldkirch, Switzerland is closer than Innsbruck. Anyone inquiring from there searches with different terms and expects a phone number with a country code they can dial. Small things like that decide whether an inquiry happens, and they cost nothing at build time if you think of them.
HANDWERK // INDUSTRIE
Vorarlberg has a lot of industry in a small area and trades with unusually high design standards, particularly in timber construction. A template site stands out in that environment, and not in a good way. We design by hand, fitting what the business actually does.
TEMPO
We build without unnecessary weight and keep load time under 2.5 seconds, measured on a phone. That matters more for visitors from abroad than you would think, because their connection to an Austrian server often takes a detour.
A website in Vorarlberg 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 integration with existing systems. The price is fixed up front and applies regardless of which province you are in. If you invoice in Swiss francs, we set up the price display on the site accordingly, at no extra charge.

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 rarely make it to Vorarlberg, but coordinating over video is well practised and fast.
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.
Vorarlberg is the westernmost province and economically more intertwined with eastern Switzerland, Liechtenstein and southern Germany than with the rest of Austria. Tens of thousands commute across the border daily, and for many businesses in the Rhine valley a customer in St. Gallen is more natural than one in Graz. A website aimed only at Austria leaves a good share of the market on the table in that situation.
At the same time competition is tight, because many good businesses sit in a small area. You notice it in the design: companies in Vorarlberg care more about architecture and craft than the average, and they expect the same from a website. The search trend for this term has been declining for two years, which says nothing about how much a single contract is worth here.
If part of your customers pay in francs, that belongs on the site, in a way that saves everyone the arithmetic. It is not a big technical thing, but it is almost always forgotten and for a Swiss prospect it is the difference between inquiring and looking elsewhere.
We sit in Vienna, and that is six hours away. For the work it is irrelevant, it happens on your website, and coordination runs over video. Realistically we will not drive to Vorarlberg for every meeting, and we do not pretend otherwise. If in-person meetings matter to you, we say so right at the start.
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 Vorarlberg is checked against exactly these values before it goes live.

Because we tell you openly what does not work from a distance. Six hours of travel means we are not the agency for businesses that want an on-site meeting every fortnight. What we can do instead: build a site that works in three countries and look after it afterwards without anyone having to drop by. If personal contact matters more to you than the result, an agency in the Rhine valley is the better fit, and we would rather say that beforehand.
Tell us what you do and which countries your customers come from. You get a fixed price and a date, without a sales call.

Three things. The phone number has to include the country code so it can be dialled from abroad. Prices need a form a Swiss customer can place. And the site has to be findable for searches from Switzerland, not only from Austria. Most Vorarlberg websites overlook that.
For the work yes, it happens on your website and coordination runs over video. But we say openly that realistically we will not drive to Vorarlberg for every meeting. If regular on-site meetings matter to you, an agency in the Rhine valley is the better choice, and we would rather say that right at the start.
Four to eight weeks depending on scope. For bilingual sites rather at the upper end, because the second language has to be structurally set up properly and not just translated. The price is still fixed up front.
The search volume for that term has indeed fallen over the last two years, we say that openly. But it says nothing about what a single contract is worth, and purchasing power in Vorarlberg is high. Whoever is set up properly today stands further forward in a smaller field.
