Web Development Wallisellen.
We write the code, not just the design: websites, web apps, online shops and portals with Next.js and TypeScript — for Glattal firms whose website has to do more than look good. From CHF 3'000, live in two weeks.
Calculate project costWallisellen is a dense business location, full of company headquarters and service providers in the Glattal. And the more established a firm becomes, the more often a brochure website stops being enough: it needs a customer area, a booking system, a shop, a configurator or a connection to systems already in use. That is the point where classic web design ends and web development begins — the part that comes after the design and has to hold up for years.
We are DLM Digital, a studio in Zollikon, working since 2022 on more than 300 projects. We build from scratch with Next.js, React and TypeScript — no site builder, no theme, no stack of plugins that nobody will want to touch in two years. This page is for you if your website in Wallisellen has to do something. If presentation and visual identity are the priority instead, you are better served by Web Design Zurich — we would rather say so now than later.
What we build for Wallisellen companies
From a company website to a platform with its own back-end logic — the stack stays the same, the effort does not. What we typically build for firms in the Glattal:
- Websites and company presences — custom built rather than a theme bent into shape, from CHF 3'000 and live in about two weeks.
- Web applications and portals — customer and dealer areas, booking and reservation systems, member areas, dashboards with live data.
- Online shops — product catalogue, payment integration and checkout flow, connected to whatever you already work with.
- Calculators and configurators — multi-step tools that walk customers through a decision and produce qualified enquiries along the way.
- APIs and integrations — custom back-end APIs, database design, role-based access and connections to third-party systems such as ERP or CRM.
The common thread: built to order, on a data model that fits your business rather than whatever a plugin happens to allow.
Why Next.js and TypeScript — our stack
Next.js and React on the front end, TypeScript throughout, Tailwind CSS for styling, Node.js and PostgreSQL on the back end. A narrow stack instead of a bit of everything — every line we ship should still be maintainable in three years. What the pieces contribute:
- Next.js renders pages on the server or generates them at build time. Every crawler gets finished HTML in the first response instead of an empty page waiting for JavaScript — precisely where classic JavaScript sites lose ground in search and where AI crawlers drop out entirely.
- TypeScript catches a large share of errors as we write them rather than at your customers. The benefit shows up during a rebuild a year later: what breaks, breaks in the editor.
- PostgreSQL is a relational database with a properly modelled schema that grows with you instead of needing to be swapped out along the way.
Performance is not a side effect here, it is the reason: our benchmark is 100/100 PageSpeed, and that feeds straight into the Core Web Vitals. It is why we treat search visibility as a property of the architecture rather than as later optimisation.
Web design or web development — what do you need?
Short version: web design decides how it looks. Web development decides whether it works, how fast it loads and whether anyone can still change it in two years. On small projects the two overlap and we deliver both. Once logic enters the picture the balance shifts: the design is done in days, the build takes weeks.
Here is how to find the right page with us:
- You need web design if your project is mainly a convincing presence — company website, relaunch, landing page, imagery. → Web Design Switzerland.
- You need web development if your website has to do something that does not exist off the shelf: calculate, book, sell, connect to your ERP or CRM — or if you want an existing site taken over technically. → this page.
- Not sure? That is exactly what the first conversation is for. We place your project honestly — and say so when it is smaller than you thought. For a first figure, use the project calculator.
Site builders and WordPress versus custom development
| Site builder / WordPress theme | Custom development (DLM Digital) | |
|---|---|---|
| Technical base | Theme plus third-party plugins | Next.js, TypeScript, React, Tailwind |
| Feature scope | Whatever the plugin allows | Whatever your business needs |
| Performance | Optimising against the builder | 100/100 PageSpeed as the benchmark |
| SEO rendering | Depends on the theme | SSR/SSG — finished HTML for every crawler |
| Integrations | Only with a matching plugin | Custom APIs into your own systems |
| Security | Attack surface across every plugin | Narrow stack, smaller attack surface |
| Entry price | Low | From CHF 3'000 |

Frequently asked questions about web development in Wallisellen
A custom-built website starts at CHF 3'000, a single landing page at CHF 2'500 and a business website at CHF 5'000. Once real functional logic is involved the numbers change: more complex web solutions — a portal, a configurator, a web application — begin at CHF 15'000, because here the effort is not driven by the number of pages but by user roles, interfaces, the data model and real-time features. Hosting and domain add roughly CHF 100 to 500 per year on top. For a first assessment of your project our calculator gives you an order of magnitude in a few minutes, before we go into detail.
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 that turns the design into something a browser can run, the data structure behind it, the interfaces to other systems, the load time and the maintainability over years. On small projects the two collapse into one job and we deliver both. As soon as your website has to do something, though — calculate, book, sell, connect to an existing system — the weight shifts clearly towards development. If presentation is your priority, our web design pages are the right entry point; if function is, you are in the right place here.
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 matters for SEO because Google and AI systems see finished HTML instead of an empty page. TypeScript catches a substantial share of errors while we write them, not once they reach your customers. This website runs on exactly that stack, so you can check the result live.
Yes. Alongside websites we build online shops with a product catalogue, payment integration and checkout flow, plus portals and web applications — customer or dealer areas, booking systems, dashboards and configurators. At a business location like Wallisellen, with its many company headquarters and service providers, demand for that kind of function is high, because off-the-shelf solutions rarely mirror how the work actually runs. We build to order, on a data model that fits your business rather than whatever a plugin happens to allow. What makes sense commercially in your specific case is something we settle before the first line of code.
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. What argues for a rebuild is outdated dependencies with security holes or an architecture that simply cannot support the feature you want. Not having access to the old code is no obstacle, as long as you control the domain and the hosting.
A website goes live in roughly two weeks — the normal case for a company presence when content and approvals arrive promptly. More involved projects follow different timelines: a first working version of a web application ships in about six to twelve weeks, and a complete platform with back-end logic, user roles and integrations takes longer. We work in two-week sprints, and after each one you see working features rather than a status report. The biggest time sink is rarely the engineering — it is waiting for content and decisions, which is why we agree before kick-off who signs things off on your side.
