Why WordPress for my website?
WordPress is flexible, easy to use and SEO-friendly. You can edit content yourself without programming knowledge. 43% of all websites worldwide use WordPress — it's the proven standard.
Can I maintain my WordPress website myself?
Yes! After development we train you in using WordPress. You can edit texts, images and pages independently. For technical updates we offer maintenance packages.
How long does WordPress development take?
Basic: 1-2 weeks. Business: 2-3 weeks. E-Commerce: 3-6 weeks depending on scope and complexity.
Is WordPress secure?
Yes, with regular updates and our maintenance service. We install security plugins, SSL certificates and perform regular backups to keep your site safe.
Do you also handle hosting and domain setup?
Yes! We offer Swiss-based hosting with daily backups, SSL encryption, and excellent performance. Domain registration and email setup included.
Can you optimize my existing WordPress website?
Yes! We analyze and improve speed, SEO, security, and design — even if your site was built elsewhere. We can modernize outdated WordPress sites.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance?
Yes! We offer monthly maintenance plans from CHF 129/month that include updates, security checks, backups, and priority support.
What's included in training?
We show you how to add/edit pages, update content, manage media, create blog posts, and basic troubleshooting. Training is hands-on and tailored to your needs.
Can WordPress handle high traffic?
Absolutely! With proper hosting and optimization, WordPress scales to millions of visitors. We use caching, CDN, and performance optimization for speed.
How much does a WordPress website cost in Switzerland?
Costs vary depending on scope: A basic website starts from CHF 1'500, business websites from CHF 2'500, and e-commerce shops from CHF 4'500. This is significantly cheaper than custom development (CHF 15'000+) and more cost-effective long-term than website builders with monthly fees. We're happy to create a custom quote for you.
Do I need a premium theme or custom theme?
For most projects, a premium theme (like Astra or GeneratePress) that we customize individually is sufficient. These themes are professionally coded, regularly updated, and more affordable. We recommend custom themes for businesses with very specific design requirements or when you want to strongly differentiate from competitors. We'll advise which option is optimal for your project.
Can I migrate my existing website to WordPress?
Yes! We migrate websites from Wix, Squarespace, Joomla, Drupal, or old HTML sites to WordPress. We transfer all content, optimize the structure, and often improve design and performance simultaneously. Migration includes content transfer, URL redirects (to preserve Google rankings), design adjustments, and SEO optimization. Your old website stays online until the new WordPress site is perfect.
How long until my WordPress website is live?
Standard projects: 2-4 weeks. Express service: 1-2 weeks for additional fee. E-commerce or complex websites: 4-8 weeks. The exact timeframe depends on your project scope, content availability (texts, images), and your feedback speed. We create a detailed timeline with milestones so you know exactly when your website goes online.
Do I need technical knowledge to use WordPress?
No! WordPress is specifically designed for non-technical users. If you can write emails or create a Word document, you can use WordPress. The visual editor works similarly to Microsoft Word. We train you personally after launch and create a video guide specifically for your website. If you have questions, our support is available.
Is WordPress GDPR-compliant?
WordPress itself is a tool — GDPR compliance depends on how it's configured. We ensure your website is GDPR-compliant: Swiss hosting (data stays in Switzerland), cookie consent banner, privacy policy, secure form processing, and GDPR-compliant plugins. We also advise you on legal requirements like imprint and terms & conditions.
What if I want changes or new features later?
WordPress is perfect for extensions. You can add new features anytime: blog section, online booking system, member area, newsletter integration, online shop, or multilingual versions. We offer ongoing support: minor changes (from CHF 80/hour) or monthly support packages. Many adjustments you can also make yourself thanks to WordPress.
Which payment methods can I integrate in my WordPress shop?
With WooCommerce you can integrate all common payment methods: Twint, Postfinance, credit cards (Visa, Mastercard), PayPal, invoice (on request), prepayment, and even cryptocurrencies. We recommend Swiss payment providers like Datatrans or PayRexx for optimal GDPR compliance. All payments are SSL-encrypted and secure.
Do you offer multilingual WordPress websites?
Yes! Swiss businesses often need multilingual websites. We use WPML or Polylang for professional translation functions. Typical combinations: German/French/Italian (Switzerland), German/English (international), or all four languages. You can translate content yourself or we organize professional translations. SEO-optimized with hreflang tags for international rankings.
