Web Development Altstetten.

At DLM Digital a developed website starts at CHF 3'000, a single landing page at CHF 2'500 and a business website at CHF 5'000. Once you need more than a presence, the numbers change: complex web solutions such as web applications, portals or demanding online shops begin at CHF 15'000, and a complete B2B portal or SaaS platform lies considerably higher. The spread is not created by the number of pages but by the logic underneath — user roles, interfaces to systems you already run, the data model and real-time features drive the effort. For a first assessment of your Kreis 9 project, our calculator gives you an order of magnitude in a few minutes.

Web design answers how a website looks and feels: layout, typography, colour, the way people move through it. Web development answers how it works: the code behind it, the data structure, the interfaces to other systems, the load time and the maintainability over years. For many Altstetten businesses a convincing presence is enough — in that case our web design offering is the right page. As soon as your website has to do something that does not exist off the shelf, though — calculate, book, configure, sell, connect to your ERP — the weight shifts clearly towards development. The design is then finished in days, the build takes weeks.

We build with Next.js and React on the front end, in TypeScript throughout, and style with Tailwind CSS; on the back end we work with Node.js and PostgreSQL. That is deliberately a narrow, modern stack rather than a bit of everything — we want to be able to maintain every line we ship three years from now. Next.js provides server-side rendering and static site generation out of the box, which is decisive for discoverability: Google and AI crawlers receive finished HTML instead of an empty page that JavaScript has to fill in first. TypeScript catches a large share of errors while we write them. This website is built on exactly that stack.

Yes — that is the heart of this service. We build online shops with a product catalogue, payment integration and checkout flow, connected to whatever you already work with. On top of that we build web applications and portals: booking and reservation systems, member and customer areas, dashboards, and configurators that guide customers through a decision and produce qualified enquiries along the way. In Zurich West in particular, where the trade base is changing and many businesses are digitising how they work, a made-to-measure solution often pays off more than a standard system that never quite fits. What actually makes sense we discuss honestly up front.

Yes, and it happens regularly — usually when the original agency has become unreachable or the project has stalled technically. We start by reviewing the code, the dependencies and the hosting setup, then tell you honestly whether extending or rebuilding is the better commercial decision. That answer does not automatically favour a rebuild: a clean codebase is something we happily continue, even though we did not write it. Not having access to the code is no obstacle, as long as you control the domain and the hosting — we sort out the rest together.

We work in agile two-week sprints — after each sprint you see working features, not a status report. It starts with discovery: what should the system do, for whom, and what does it hang off? This is where the effort is decided, not later in the code. Then come prototyping, the build in sprints with regular demos, and finally go-live with monitoring and documentation. A website is live in roughly two weeks that way, an MVP of a web application in a few weeks more. Because Altstetten is part of the city of Zurich and quick to reach via Altstetten station, meeting in person is possible at any point.
