Web Design Zurich – Your Agency for High-Speed Websites.

A professional website in Zurich costs between CHF 3,000 and CHF 25,000, depending on scope, design complexity and features. A simple SME website starts at approx. CHF 3,000–5,000, while complex web applications can cost CHF 15,000–25,000+. Use our free project calculator for an accurate estimate in 3 minutes.

A standard SME website goes live in 2–3 weeks. We complete landing pages in 1–2 weeks, complex web applications take 6–12 weeks. With our booster package we reduce delivery time by up to 50%. All our projects follow a clearly defined process with weekly updates.

For most SMEs we recommend custom development with a headless CMS like Sanity or Strapi. WordPress is slower, more vulnerable and harder to optimize to 100/100 PageSpeed. Custom websites have no plugin conflicts, are lower maintenance and significantly faster. For very simple informational websites on a tight budget, WordPress can make sense.

A high-speed website loads in under 1 second and scores 95–100 on the Google PageSpeed test on desktop and mobile. It uses server-side rendering, optimized images in WebP format, code-splitting and a global content delivery network (CDN). The result: better Google rankings, higher conversion rates and happier users.

Yes, SEO fundamentals should be integrated from the start: clean URL structure, meta tags, structured data (JSON-LD), alt texts for images and fast load times. A new website without SEO will barely be found by Google initially. We integrate a technical SEO foundation into every web design project — free of charge.

Core Web Vitals are Google's official metrics for user experience: LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) measures main content load time, INP (Interaction to Next Paint) measures how quickly the page responds to user interactions — the target is under 200 ms — and CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) measures visual stability. INP replaced FID (First Input Delay) as a Core Web Vital in March 2024. Google has used the Core Web Vitals as a ranking factor since 2021.

Yes. On request we integrate a user-friendly CMS like Sanity, allowing you to edit texts, images and content without programming knowledge. The CMS is intuitive and is set up and explained by us. More complex adjustments and new features are implemented by our team.

Responsive web design means your website looks and works optimally on all devices: desktop, tablet and smartphone. Since over 60% of web traffic comes from mobile devices (Statista), responsive design is now essential — and Google rates mobile optimization as a central ranking factor (Mobile-First Index).

53% of mobile users leave a page that takes longer than 3 seconds to load (Google/SOASTA). 1 second of delay costs up to 7% conversion rate (Google/Deloitte study). Google uses load time as a ranking signal (Core Web Vitals). Our websites load in under 1 second — consistently, on desktop and mobile.

For Swiss SMEs, the following points are crucial: mobile optimization (>60% of traffic comes from smartphones), local SEO (Google Business Profile, local keywords), fast load times, GDPR-compliant cookie policies, and an easy-to-use CMS for independent updates. We offer free initial consultations.

A web designer is one person, an agency is a team. For a contained project with a clear scope, the individual is often faster and cheaper: you talk to the person who actually does the work, and decisions take minutes rather than approval rounds. The price for that is real — limited capacity and a single point of failure. An agency pays off as soon as design, development, copy and search work have to run in parallel, as soon as the site is maintained after launch, or as soon as somebody has to be able to step in. DLM Digital is an agency with its own development team in Zollikon. Anyone specifically looking for a single freelance professional will not find the right fit here — we would rather say so upfront.

Professional is not a matter of taste but a list of checkable properties: fast load times on a phone, its own title and exactly one H1 per page, structured data, a privacy policy that describes the real data flow of that website, an editing system your team can use without a developer, and a written assurance that domain, access credentials and source code belong to you. The fastest test: run two or three of the provider’s reference sites through Google’s PageSpeed test. It takes five minutes and says more than any self-description — ours included. Also ask who is reachable after launch and what a change costs at that point.

There are three routes: an agency, a freelance professional, or an in-house team. What matters is less the type of provider than three questions you can settle before signing: whose name is on the domain and the access credentials, who is reachable after launch and within what response time, and what a change costs a year from now. The item that is hardest to repair later is the domain — if somebody else’s name is on it, changing provider is no longer a negotiation about quality but about access. Our studio is at Gustav-Maurer-Strasse 23 in 8702 Zollikon, a few minutes outside the city of Zurich; in-person meetings in the Zurich region are the norm. Check every provider against the same points, ours included.
