Web Design Zurich: websites from CHF 3,000, live in 2 weeks.

A website by DLM Digital costs between CHF 3,000 and CHF 25,000. Where a project lands in that range depends on scope: number of pages, languages and features such as a configurator, reservations or a shop. The project calculator gives a first estimate; the binding figure is in the quote. For comparison: publicly listed entry prices in the Zurich market start below CHF 1,000 (fixed-price and subscription models) and reach CHF 10,000 and more at larger agencies (public price pages, as of 11 Oct 2026).

In 2 weeks once all materials are in: copy, images, logo and access to domain and hosting. The 2 weeks start on that day, not on the day of signing. In practice projects are rarely delayed by programming but by content that still needs internal sign-off, so we tell you at the start where we will be waiting on you. Sites with features such as a configurator, reservations or a shop take longer depending on scope; the delivery time is then stated in the quote.

We build every website aiming for 100 out of 100 in Google's PageSpeed test: server-rendered with Next.js, images in modern formats, no unnecessary JavaScript, no heavy plugins. That is an aim, not a guarantee. The score varies with device and network, and third-party embeds such as maps, videos or booking widgets cost points. Check it yourself: run two or three of our references through the PageSpeed test.

We build with Next.js and React, not WordPress. The advantage lies in load time, security and maintenance: no plugin updates, no plugin conflicts, a smaller attack surface. For copy and images we set up an editing system on request so your team can work without a developer. For a very simple information site on a small budget with its own maintenance team, WordPress can still be the better fit, and we will say so — though we would not build or maintain it, as we only work to our DLM Digital standard.

The technical SEO foundation is part of every project: clean URL structure, its own title and exactly one H1 per page, structured data, image alt texts, fast load time, a sitemap and an llms.txt for AI assistants. Ongoing SEO work after launch (content, local SEO, monitoring) is a separate service: local SEO from CHF 300 per month, full-service SEO from CHF 400 per month, GEO from CHF 300 per month. We do not promise rankings.

Yes, and that belongs in the quote in writing. The domain is registered in your name, and you receive access to hosting and the editing system. If you are not the registered owner of your domain, changing provider becomes a negotiation about access rather than quality. Check this point with every provider, including us.

A web designer is one person, an agency is a team. For a contained project the individual is often faster and cheaper: you talk to the person who does the work. The price for that is limited capacity and a single point of failure. An agency pays off once design, development, copy and search work run in parallel or the site is maintained after launch. DLM Digital is a studio with its own development team in Zollikon near Zurich. Anyone specifically looking for a single freelancer will not find the right fit here, and 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, an editing system for your team, and a written assurance that domain, access and source code belong to you. The fastest test: run two or three of the provider's reference sites through Google's PageSpeed test. Also ask who is reachable after launch and what a change costs then.

Yes. On request you maintain copy, images, team, menu or projects yourself in an editing system we set up and explain. New features and larger changes are done by us. For ongoing change requests the client portal offers an optional ticket-based change system, so requests do not get lost in e-mails.

Yes. 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. Sign-offs and short check-ins often happen by video call because it is faster for both sides.

For example Han Kitchen in Zurich-Oerlikon (website with reservations and an admin app), Leo Ristorante in the Globus building, the Nolte Kitchens showroom on Dreikönigstrasse, Basilica in Zurich-West, The Sartorialist and JUCAN Tailored Suits. All projects with scope and results are listed under references. We only state figures where we can back them up.
