If you are looking for a person and not an agency: you talk to whoever builds your site, and to the same one three years from now.
Anyone looking for a web developer rather than an agency usually wants the same thing: direct contact with the person who actually builds, short paths and no markup for structure they do not need. You get that with us, with one honest limitation: there are two of us, and that sets a limit on scope and pace. Where that limit sits we say before the quote, not halfway through.
EINE PERSON
No account manager, no project lead, no ticket queue. If you have a technical question you get a technical answer from somebody who wrote the code themselves. That is the only real advantage of a small setup, and it disappears the moment it grows.
VERSTÄRKUNG
Sometimes it is not about your own project but about somebody missing on an existing team. We do that when the scope is clearly defined and the collaboration runs over a longer period. For a week of stopgap help we are the wrong address.
GRENZEN
That means: no project with five parallel workstreams, and no commitment hanging on a single person without a stand-in being sorted. We tell you beforehand how much we can take on, and when we are full we say so rather than naming a date we cannot keep.
As a client you cannot judge technical quality, and you do not have to. What you can judge are the answers to six questions. This list applies to any developer, including one you end up hiring instead of us, and we would be glad if you put them to us just the same.
Good answerYou do, completely, including all credentials.
If the answer does not comeIf the code stays with the developer, you cannot switch later without redoing everything.
Good answerYour company, with your credentials.
If the answer does not comeIf the domain is in the supplier name, your company address depends on their goodwill.
Good answerAn honest answer, usually a stand-in and documented access.
If the answer does not comeAnyone brushing this off has never thought about it. With a single person it is the most important question of all.
Good answerFixed price for a clearly defined scope, or hourly with a cap.
If the answer does not comeAn open hourly rate without a cap shifts the entire risk onto you.
Good answerA rationale that addresses your project, not the developer preference.
If the answer does not comeIf every project gets solved with the same technology, it is the wrong one for half of them.
Good answerA named offer with a price, or a clean handover to you.
If the answer does not comeWithout an answer to this, support ends on launch day, and you only notice months later.
Applies to any developer, including one you end up hiring instead of us
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. If you are looking for a developer, in Vienna it is best to talk to me directly, that settles in half an hour.
If several workstreams have to run in parallel, if a fixed date is legally binding, or if your procurement requires a supplier with twenty people, then a single person is the wrong tool. That is not a question of quality but of capacity. We would rather say so beforehand than halfway through the project.
If it is the matter rather than the person you care about, our page on the web agency in Vienna is the better fit. If it is about the craft of building, that is on web development Vienna, and for an application with users and a database on web app development.
Write briefly what it is about. You get an honest assessment, even when that assessment is that we have no capacity for it right now.
A website starts at 2,500€ for a one-pager, sits at 4,500€ for the usual scope of five to ten pages and at 7,500€ with multiple languages or integration with existing systems. An application going beyond a website starts at 5,000€. We bill per project at a fixed price and name no hourly rate. The reason is stated openly on the page: an open hourly rate without a cap shifts the entire risk onto you.
Only partly, and we would rather say so openly. This page is aimed at companies wanting to commission a build. We are a small team and rarely advertise positions. If you would still like to introduce yourself, send an email with a few projects to team@creatingfaces.at, we look at every submission.
Yes, when the scope is clearly defined and the collaboration runs over a longer period. For a week of stopgap help we are the wrong address, because onboarding then costs more than it delivers. What that looks like in a specific case we settle in a conversation.
There are two of us, and both have access to everything. On top of that you own the code and all credentials anyway, so in the worst case any other developer is able to continue. We consider that the most important question you can put to a small setup, so we answer it unasked.
When several workstreams have to run in parallel, when a fixed date is legally binding, or when your procurement requires a supplier with twenty people. That is not a question of quality but of capacity, and we would rather say it beforehand than halfway through the project.
