Why a new website

Your website works before the first meeting — or against you.

  • 01

    Credibility with investors & authorities

    Investors, banks, authorities and partners look you up before they reply. A clear, current site shows a professional operation — a dated one costs trust you then have to win back in person.

  • 02

    Qualified enquiries instead of a business card

    A sharp offer, clear calls to action and simple contact and booking forms turn visitors into leads — with the information you need for the first call.

  • 03

    No more WordPress maintenance

    Plugin updates, security patches, slow page builders, a broken layout after every update: static sites end that — without giving up the ability to edit content yourself.

Industry knowledge instead of an agency briefing

I know your buyers — and the rules you have to play by.

Cannabis and engineering companies speak to investors, authorities, clubs and technical buyers at the same time — often under strict advertising rules. I have advised more than 50 cannabis companies and know which messages work and which ones cause problems.

  • Product owner for the Cannavigia compliance platform and 420CLOUD
  • Built a five-figure social-media audience
  • 45+ cannabis companies advised

What you get

Everything a B2B website needs — from one hand.

No hand-offs between copywriter, designer and developer: you have one contact from the first workshop to launch.

  • Strategy & B2B copy

    Positioning, page structure and copy that speaks to investors, buyers and authorities — in German and English.

  • Design on your brand

    A clean, distinctive design that fits your brand and works on every screen size.

  • Multilingual

    Separate URLs per language, correct hreflang tags and a proper language switcher — no machine-translated afterthought.

  • SEO & technology

    Clean HTML, meta data, sitemap, canonical URLs, optimised images and very short load times.

  • Content you can edit

    Texts, blog posts, team and references are maintained in a structured editor — no developer needed for routine changes.

  • Contact & booking forms

    Enquiry forms, appointment booking and clear calls to action that route leads straight to you.

  • B2B shop & configurators

    Shops with B2B pricing, product catalogues, ROI calculators and configurators, connected to your existing systems.

  • Hosting on Cloudflare

    Delivery from Cloudflare's global network: fast, stable and with low running costs.

  • Migration from WordPress

    Pages and posts carried over, old URLs redirected — so rankings and links are kept.

This website

research-gardens.com

Bilingual Astro site, migrated from WordPress/WPML — 52 posts carried over, including redirects for every old URL.

Process

Five steps from workshop to handover.

  1. 1

    Workshop

    Goals, audiences, offer and which enquiries the site should generate. Result: a clear brief.

  2. 2

    Structure & copy

    Sitemap, page structure and copy in all languages — the content comes before the design.

  3. 3

    Design

    Layout and visual language on your brand, reviewed with real content on desktop and mobile.

  4. 4

    Build

    Development, editor, forms, integrations and — if needed — migration with redirects.

  5. 5

    Launch & handover

    Domain, hosting and go-live, followed by a training session so your team can maintain content.

Technology & quality

Static, fast and low-maintenance.

I build websites as static sites: pages are generated in advance and delivered as finished HTML. No database and no public admin login — fewer attack surfaces, fewer updates, faster pages.

  • Static

    Pre-rendered pages

    Delivered as finished HTML — no server-side rendering on every visit.

  • Fast

    Very short load times

    Global CDN, optimised images, minimal JavaScript.

  • Low-maintenance

    No plugin maintenance

    No plugins, no PHP updates, no security patches every week.

  • GDPR

    Privacy-friendly by default

    Self-hosted fonts, no external trackers or embeds unless you decide otherwise.

  • Secure

    Small attack surface

    No database and no login page on the public site.

  • Yours

    You own everything

    Domain, hosting account and code belong to you — no lock-in.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can we edit content ourselves?

Yes. Texts, blog posts, team members or references are maintained in a structured editor. I set it up so that routine changes need no developer — and show your team how it works at handover.

What drives the cost?

Mainly the number of pages and languages, whether I write the copy, special features such as a shop, configurator or integrations, and the size of a migration. After the first conversation you receive a quote with a clearly defined scope.

How long does a project take?

It depends on scope — and above all on how quickly content and feedback are available. The workshop gives us a realistic schedule that we agree on together.

Where is the website hosted?

Usually on Cloudflare: the site is delivered from a global network, is fast worldwide and has low running costs. The account and domain are yours.

We are on WordPress — do we lose our rankings when switching?

Not if the migration is done properly: content is carried over, every old URL gets a redirect, and meta data, sitemap and language versions are set up correctly. That is exactly how this site moved 52 posts from WordPress/WPML.

Let's talk about your website.

In a free first meeting we look at your current site, your goals and the enquiries you want — and I tell you honestly what makes sense.
