Frequently Asked Questions

We use AI assistants as technical partners to diagnose issues faster and generate solutions more accurately. Every output is reviewed and tested before deployment.

AI accelerates critical work in two ways: First, it helps us pattern-match against thousands of known scenarios, narrowing diagnosis time from hours to minutes. Second, it generates code that we verify against your specific tech stack. You're paying for expertise in using AI well—knowing when to trust it, when to override it, and how to test thoroughly.

Think of it like an experienced mechanic using diagnostic software. The tool speeds things up, but the human expertise determines the actual solution.

Yes. We use external AI providers (like OpenAI, Anthropic) with strict privacy modes enabled. Your code is processed but never used to retrain their models and is not retrievable by anyone else.

Here's how we protect your information: All major AI providers offer enterprise privacy settings that prevent your data from being stored long-term or used for model improvement. We work exclusively with these privacy-enabled modes. For sensitive data (API keys, credentials, personal information), we sanitize or exclude it entirely before any AI processing. We also sign NDAs for confidential projects.

For authentication systems, payment handlers, and personal data processing, we often write critical sections manually with zero AI involvement. Security isn't negotiable—we balance AI efficiency with your privacy requirements.

We review every line of AI-generated code before it reaches production. No AI output goes live without human verification, testing, and security review.

Our workflow: AI suggests solutions, we evaluate them against your requirements, test for edge cases, check for security vulnerabilities, and verify the code integrates properly with your existing system. We treat AI suggestions like junior developer output—useful starting points that require experienced oversight.

What we check: Security flaws (SQL injection, XSS, authentication bypasses), performance issues (N+1 queries, memory leaks), maintainability (is this code readable in 6 months?), and business logic correctness (does it actually solve your problem?). Insecure or poorly architected code gets rewritten or rejected, regardless of whether AI or humans wrote it first. You're protected by our review process, not blind trust in AI output.

We're transparent about this: AI tools are integrated into our development workflow, and we believe that benefits you directly. Modern development assistants help us write cleaner code faster, catch bugs earlier, and maintain consistency across your project — which means better quality at fair prices.

But here's what matters: Your project data, business logic, and sensitive information stay private. We use AI the same way we use any professional tool — strategically, with full control over what gets processed and how. Think of it like spell-check for code, not outsourcing your project to a black box.

If you have specific privacy requirements (healthcare data, proprietary algorithms, regulated industries), we work within those constraints. We can discuss exactly what tools are used where and adjust our approach for sensitive components.

What we won't do is pretend the industry hasn't evolved. AI-assisted development is now standard practice at serious software houses — the difference is whether your provider is honest about it and uses it responsibly. We are, and we do.

Yes, if the project is recoverable. We first audit what exists, identify what's salvageable, and give you an honest assessment before committing to completion.

Here's the typical "developer vanished" process: Within 24-48 hours, we access what they left behind—codebase, databases, documentation (if any), deployment setup. We run diagnostics to determine code quality, completion percentage, and technical debt severity. Then we give you three options: Complete as-is (fastest), Refactor critical sections (medium timeline), or Rebuild from scratch (if the existing code is unsalvageable).

What we won't do: Promise to finish any project without assessment. Some abandoned projects are so poorly architected that completion costs more than rebuilding. We'll tell you the truth within the first diagnostic session—even if that truth is "start over." Expect the audit phase to include testing what works, documenting what's missing, and estimating realistic completion timelines based on actual code quality, not wishful thinking.

Most production-down emergencies get initial diagnosis within 2-4 hours, with many critical issues resolved within 24-72 hours depending on complexity and access to systems.

Speed depends on three factors: How quickly you can provide access (hosting credentials, database, codebase), how clear the error symptoms are (specific error messages beat "it just stopped working"), and whether it's a known issue or requires deep debugging. For example, a misconfigured server after a host migration might be fixed in hours. A subtle database corruption issue causing intermittent crashes could take 2-3 days to fully diagnose and repair safely.

Our approach: We prioritize getting your site functional first (even if ugly), then apply proper fixes once you're back online. No point spending 8 hours crafting the perfect solution while your business is offline. Expect regular updates during diagnosis—we don't go silent during emergencies.

We reverse-engineer what exists. Most codebases are self-documenting if you know where to look—database schemas, Git history, code comments, and naming conventions tell the story.

Undocumented projects are common. We start by mapping the architecture: What framework is this? How is data flowing? Where are the critical dependencies? Then we trace the bug backward from symptoms to root cause. Tools help (AI-assisted code analysis, dependency graphs, error log correlation), but experience matters more—recognizing patterns from hundreds of previous debugging sessions.

The biggest risk with undocumented code isn't fixing the immediate issue—it's breaking something else unknowingly. That's why we test thoroughly before, during, and after repairs. If your previous developer left zero comments and no Git history, expect the diagnosis phase to take longer. We're not just fixing the bug; we're building a mental model of how your entire system works to avoid collateral damage.

Yes, for most common hacks (malware injections, defaced pages, spam redirects). We assess damage severity, remove malicious code, patch vulnerabilities, and restore from clean backups when available.

The recovery process depends on attack type and how deep the compromise goes. Surface-level hacks (injected spam links, defaced homepage) are often cleaned within 24-48 hours. Deeper compromises (backdoors in core files, database manipulation, server-level access) require more thorough investigation—sometimes 3-5 days to ensure the attacker is fully removed and can't return.

What we do: Isolate infected files, scan for malware signatures, check database integrity, review server logs for entry points, patch the vulnerability that allowed the hack, change all credentials, and verify the site is clean before bringing it back online. If you have backups from before the attack, recovery is faster. If not, we rebuild what's salvageable and document what was lost. We also provide post-recovery hardening recommendations (updated software, security plugins, firewall rules) to prevent repeat attacks—but ongoing security monitoring requires a maintenance plan, not a one-time fix.

Yes, we can step in as your new technical contact. First, we get access to everything (hosting, domain, codebase, accounts), then assess what was delivered and its current state.

When the original developer is no longer available, continuity can be a challenge. Our takeover process: We request credentials for all systems (hosting, domain registrar, CMS admin, Git repository if it exists, email/analytics accounts). Then we audit what was delivered—does the code function as intended? Are there pending issues that need attention? Is the codebase maintainable and well-documented?

From there, you decide next steps: Fix immediate issues and move on, engage us for ongoing support, or plan improvements if the current infrastructure needs enhancement. We've worked with projects of varying quality—from well-structured codebases to those needing significant refactoring. Either way, you'll get an honest assessment within the first week—including whether it's worth maintaining the current work or planning a gradual modernization. We work for you and your project's success.

Simple integrations (payment gateway, email service) take 1-2 weeks. Multi-system integrations with complex data mapping take 2-4 weeks. Custom integrations with poorly documented APIs can stretch to 4-8 weeks.

Timeline depends on four factors: API quality (well-documented with sandbox environment vs. limited documentation and no test mode), data complexity (simple webhook vs. complex bidirectional sync), authentication method (modern OAuth vs. legacy SOAP), and your internal approval process (instant decisions vs. multi-week stakeholder reviews).

We provide timeline estimates after the discovery phase—once we've actually reviewed both systems' APIs and data requirements. Accurate estimates require understanding the actual technical requirements first. If we say "2 weeks," expect 2 weeks unless the vendor changes their API mid-project (rare but happens).

We reverse-engineer it. Poor documentation is common, especially with older platforms. We test endpoints manually, inspect responses, and often learn more from error messages than from official docs.

Here's the reality: Many vendors provide terrible API documentation because they prioritize sales over developer experience. We deal with this regularly. Our process: Make test API calls to see what actually returns (not what docs claim), inspect response structures to understand data formats, test edge cases to discover undocumented behavior, and contact vendor support with specific technical questions (most support teams are useless, but occasionally you find someone technical).

This discovery work takes longer—sometimes doubling the initial timeline estimate. We charge for this time because it's necessary work, not inefficiency. If the vendor's API is truly undocumented and their support team is unresponsive, we'll tell you if the integration is feasible or if you should consider switching vendors. Some APIs are genuinely too broken or undocumented to integrate reliably—we've walked away from projects where the vendor's API was fundamentally unusable.

We build with monitoring and error logging so you know immediately when something breaks. Then we assess if it's a fixable change or requires reworking the integration.

API changes fall into three categories: Minor (version updates, new optional fields)—usually no action needed. Medium (deprecation warnings, authentication changes)—we update within 30-90 days before the old version shuts down. Major (complete API redesign, sunset without replacement)—requires rebuilding the integration or finding alternative solutions.

Our integrations include error alerting, so when an API change breaks things, you get notified immediately instead of discovering it three weeks later when a customer complains. We also log all API requests and responses, making diagnosis fast when issues emerge. If you have a maintenance plan with us, we monitor vendor changelogs proactively and apply updates before breaking changes hit. Without a maintenance plan, you're responsible for monitoring the vendor's announcements and contacting us when issues arise—which is risky if the vendor gives little warning.

Sometimes, depending on what access is available. If the system has a database we can access, exports data files, or has any programmatic interface, there's usually a path forward—even if it's not elegant.

Non-API integration options: Direct database access (not ideal, but works if the system allows it), scheduled file exports/imports (CSV, XML, JSON), screen scraping (absolute last resort, fragile and breaks easily), or custom middleware that translates between systems. Each approach has tradeoffs. Direct database access is fast but risky if the schema changes. File imports work but aren't real-time. Screen scraping is hacky and breaks whenever the vendor updates their UI.

Before pursuing these workarounds, we evaluate two things: Is this worth the complexity and maintenance burden? Would switching to a different system with a proper API cost less long-term? If your proprietary system is truly locked down with no integration path, we'll tell you honestly—sometimes the right answer is "replace the system," not "hack a fragile workaround."

We implement retry logic with exponential backoff, queue systems for high-volume operations, and caching where appropriate. When APIs go down, your system degrades gracefully instead of crashing.

Rate limits are inevitable with most APIs—typically requests-per-second or daily quotas. We handle this with queuing (spreading requests over time instead of bursting), caching frequently accessed data (reducing unnecessary API calls), and webhook listeners (letting the vendor push updates instead of us polling constantly). When you hit rate limits despite optimizations, we implement graceful degradation—your system keeps functioning with slightly delayed data instead of throwing errors.

For downtime: All third-party services go down eventually. Our integrations detect failures, log errors, and retry automatically when services recover. Critical operations get queued for later instead of lost. You get monitoring alerts when extended outages occur, so you're not blindsided. What we can't do: Make unreliable vendors reliable. If their API has 95% uptime, your integration will reflect that—no amount of clever coding fixes a fundamentally unreliable service. We'll warn you during discovery if the vendor's reliability is questionable.

Experience matters. We've debugged hundreds of API integrations and recognize failure patterns quickly—authentication issues, data type mismatches, undocumented rate limits, timezone handling bugs.

Common DIY integration failures: Misunderstanding OAuth flows (most APIs use this now, but implementation varies wildly), not handling error responses properly (APIs fail in unexpected ways), ignoring rate limits until they break production, poor data validation causing corrupt syncs, and no monitoring or logging (you don't know it's broken until customers complain).

We succeed because we've made these mistakes already—on other projects. You're benefiting from years of painful debugging sessions, weird vendor quirks, and edge cases we've encountered. We also know when to ask for help (vendor support, developer communities, reading other developers' GitHub issues about the same API problems). If your previous developer failed because the vendor's API is genuinely broken or the integration is technically impossible, we'll discover that in the assessment phase and tell you honestly. Not every integration attempt should succeed—some should be abandoned in favor of better solutions.

Mini-applications focus on solving one core problem well instead of being everything to everyone. Smaller scope, faster delivery, lower cost—but still production-quality code.

The difference is intentional constraints: Limited feature set (one primary workflow, not ten competing priorities), simpler tech stack (proven tools, not experimental frameworks), pragmatic design (functional and clean, not award-winning), and lean architecture (easy to understand and modify, not over-engineered for theoretical future needs). This doesn't mean cheap or fragile—it means focused.

For example: A full e-commerce platform handles inventory, orders, shipping, customers, analytics, marketing, reviews, and multi-vendor support. A mini-application might just be "a simple ordering interface for your restaurant" with menu management and order notifications. You get 90% of the value at 20% of the cost by ruthlessly cutting unnecessary features. We help you identify the 10% that actually matters instead of building everything and hoping it works.

The code is built to be maintainable and extensible. Adding features later is straightforward because the architecture is clean, not convoluted. You can hire us or any competent developer to extend it.

We write mini-applications with future growth in mind—modular structure, clear documentation, standard patterns—but we don't over-engineer for hypothetical features you might never need. When you do need to add something, the foundation is solid. Common additions: User roles and permissions (if launched with single-user admin), additional data fields or workflows, third-party integrations, reporting and export features.

Cost to extend: Depends on complexity, but typically 30-50% cheaper than if we'd built the feature initially because the foundation already exists and we understand the codebase. If another developer takes over, the clean code and documentation make their job easier (and cheaper for you). What we avoid: Building features "just in case" that bloat the initial project and might never get used. You can always add features when you actually need them—trying to predict every future need upfront is how projects balloon to €50k when they should've been €5k.

Yes, by using proven technologies and clean architecture from day one. The difference between a good MVP and a throwaway prototype is code quality, not feature count.

Sustainable MVPs focus on: Solid data models (your database schema is hardest to change later, so we design it properly from the start), maintainable codebase (readable code with clear structure that other developers can work with), standard frameworks (Laravel, React, Next.js—proven technologies with long-term support), and proper testing (automated tests for core features so you can add features confidently without breaking existing functionality).

What changes when you scale: Infrastructure (moving from shared hosting to dedicated servers), optimization (caching layers, database indexing, frontend performance), and team structure (multiple developers, deployment pipelines). But the core application code remains solid. We've seen MVPs grow from 10 users to 10,000 users without needing rewrites—just optimization and scaling. Quality architecture from the start means your MVP can evolve naturally as your business grows. If we're building it, we're building it properly—even if it's intentionally small in scope.

We focus on lean operations and direct collaboration. You're paying for development work, not layers of overhead. We also avoid feature bloat by focusing on what you actually need.

Our efficient approach: Streamlined process (you contact us directly, we assess fit and provide clear estimates), direct communication (developers work with you directly—faster decisions and clearer understanding), focused discovery (we ask targeted questions to understand your specific needs), and transparent pricing (we estimate based on actual work required, not package tiers).

We also build pragmatically: If an existing open-source library solves 80% of your problem, we use it instead of building from scratch. If a simpler UI gets the job done, we prioritize function over elaborate design mockups. If your feature can launch with manual admin controls instead of a complex automation system, we start simple and automate later when volume justifies it. Our goal is delivering value efficiently—building what you need with clean, maintainable code.

You migrate to a more robust solution when your needs genuinely outgrow what the mini-app provides. That's a success signal, not a failure. We can help plan and execute that migration.

Outgrowing a mini-app usually means: User volume exceeded initial design (hundreds became thousands), feature needs expanded significantly (what started as simple ordering now needs multi-location inventory), or business requirements changed (you're now in regulated industry requiring compliance features). These are good problems—they mean your business grew.

Migration options: Extend the existing application with more infrastructure (often works up to a point), rebuild specific components while keeping others (gradual modernization), or migrate to enterprise platforms when complexity justifies it (Salesforce, SAP, etc. make sense at a certain scale). We help you evaluate when to extend vs. migrate. Some mini-apps run for years without needing replacement—simple tools solving simple problems don't need enterprise architecture. But when migration is right, we'll tell you honestly and help execute it rather than trying to force-fit enterprise features into a small application inappropriately.

Yes. Once you've paid in full, you own all custom code we write for your project. We don't hold it hostage or charge licensing fees. It's yours to modify, extend, or hand to another developer.

What you own: All custom application code, database schemas, configuration files, and documentation we create specifically for your project. What you don't own: Third-party libraries and frameworks (those are open-source or commercially licensed already), and any reusable components we built that aren't specific to your business (we might use those patterns in other projects, but your specific business logic is yours).

Practical ownership: You get full source code access, Git repository with complete history (if you want it), and deploy credentials so you control where it runs. If you want to move to another developer or bring development in-house later, you can. We don't use proprietary frameworks or lock-in tactics—everything is built with standard, well-documented technologies that any competent developer can work with. Code ownership is yours; optional ongoing support and maintenance is a separate service you can choose to continue or not.

It won't, because we back up everything before touching your site. Full database dump, complete file system copy, stored off your server. We test upgrades in staging environments first—never directly on your live site. Only after verifying everything works do we touch production.

Our safety protocol includes complete database and file backups stored offsite, staging environment testing where we run the upgrade on an exact copy first, data validation after migration by comparing database records and testing critical functionality, and documented rollback procedures.

Data loss happens when people skip backups, upgrade production directly without testing, ignore compatibility warnings in custom code, or rush without verification. We don't do any of those things.

Version upgrades: Typically 30 minutes to 2 hours for Contao or PHP upgrades. Depends on how much custom code needs compatibility fixes. Clean installations with minimal customization are faster. Heavily customized sites with old extensions take longer.

Hosting migrations: 2-6 hours total, mostly waiting for DNS propagation and SSL certificate setup. The actual file and database transfer is quick—DNS changes take time to spread across the internet.

We schedule work during your lowest-traffic windows, usually 2-6 AM. Examples: Small Contao 4→5 upgrade on clean code: under 1 hour. Large Contao 3→5 upgrade with custom extensions: 4-8 hours staging work, then 1-2 hours production downtime.

We roll back to the pre-upgrade backup, you're back online within minutes. Then we investigate what failed in our staging environment, fix it, and retry when ready. This is exactly why we test in staging first and maintain rollback procedures.

Common issues we prepare for include custom extensions breaking after version updates, performance problems from inefficient code on newer PHP versions, third-party integrations needing updates, and edge-case bugs not caught during staging tests.

When problems occur, we roll back immediately so you're back online fast, diagnose the root cause in staging (not on your live site), fix it completely, and retry when ready. Professional upgrades expect problems and plan for them.

Version upgrade: Updating your software to a newer version. Contao 3→5, PHP 7→8, Next.js 12→14. Same hosting provider, same server, just newer software versions. Main challenge: ensuring custom code still works with breaking changes in new versions.

Hosting migration: Moving your entire site from one hosting provider to another. Same software versions, different server infrastructure. Main work: transferring files and database, configuring DNS records, setting up SSL certificates, testing everything works on the new host.

Sometimes you need both—old hosting with old software versions. We can handle them separately or combined, depending on your situation and risk tolerance.

No. We work on-demand—you contact us when you need security patches applied or when it's time to upgrade versions. No monthly fees for services you're not actively using.

Why on-demand works better: Security patches don't happen on a predictable monthly schedule. They happen when vulnerabilities are discovered. Version upgrades happen every 6-18 months typically, not continuously. Paying monthly for sporadic work doesn't make sense.

How it works: When Contao, PHP, or TastyIgniter releases an important update, you contact us. We assess if the update is critical or can wait, quote the work if custom code needs testing, and handle the upgrade. Simple updates on clean code are quick and affordable. Complex updates on heavily customized sites take more time and cost more.

We handle version upgrades and hosting migrations for:

Contao CMS: All versions (3.x, 4.x, 5.x). We have deep expertise with complex Contao installations and custom extensions.

TastyIgniter: Restaurant ordering and delivery systems. Framework updates, extension compatibility, performance optimization.

Next.js / React: Modern front-end applications and websites. Version upgrades, dependency updates, build optimization.

PHP / Symfony: Core framework updates. PHP version upgrades (7.x→8.x), Symfony component updates, dependency management.

If your platform isn't listed—WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Magento—we don't maintain it. We specialize deeply in fewer platforms rather than spreading ourselves thin across everything.

Yes, we do this regularly. Old Contao 3 sites, ancient PHP 5.6 installations, outdated TastyIgniter systems—we upgrade them to modern, secure versions.

Typical rescue scenarios: Hosting provider demanding PHP upgrade or threatening to shut down your account, security audit revealed critical vulnerabilities in old software versions, previous developer disappeared and your site is years behind on updates, custom extensions only work on ancient versions and need modernization.

The process: We audit your current setup to understand what version you're running, what custom code exists, and what will break during upgrade. We test the upgrade path in staging and fix compatibility issues with custom code. We execute the upgrade with minimal downtime. We verify everything works correctly.

Honest assessment: Sometimes rescue costs more than rebuilding from scratch. If your site is so heavily customized and outdated that upgrade complexity is extreme, we'll tell you directly. But usually upgrading is cheaper than rebuilding—especially if your content structure and custom functionality are valuable.

We write custom code optimized for your specific goal instead of fighting template limitations. You get faster load times, better SEO, and no monthly platform fees after launch.

Website builder problems: Bloated code (loading features you don't use), template constraints (can't modify core structure), platform lock-in (can't move your site elsewhere), monthly fees forever (€10-30/month adds up), SEO limitations (harder to optimize for search), and performance issues (slow loading, especially on mobile). These platforms are designed for recurring revenue, not your success.

Our approach: Clean, minimal code (only what you need), custom design matching your brand (not template #47 that 10,000 other sites use), performance optimized (fast loading improves conversions), true ownership (host anywhere, no platform dependency), and one-time cost (pay once, own forever—optional hosting separate). For simple landing pages, builders seem cheaper initially (€15/month vs. €500 upfront). But over 3 years: Builder = €540 in fees. Custom = €500 once + €70/year hosting = €710 total. Plus ours loads 3x faster and ranks better in search. The only time builders make sense: You need something live in 2 hours and quality doesn't matter. For everything else, custom is better value.

Yes, if you request a simple CMS during the project. Otherwise, content updates require developer help—but we can make quick changes affordably or train you on basic HTML edits.

CMS options: Simple admin panel for text and images (adds €200-400 to project cost), markdown-based editing (technical users only, but very lightweight), or direct HTML editing (we provide documentation and can train you). For most one-pagers, content rarely changes—launch announcement, contact info, maybe seasonal updates. Paying for a full CMS when you update twice a year is overkill.

Without CMS: Small text changes (phone number, email, pricing) take us 5-15 minutes to update—we charge minimal fees (€20-40) for quick edits. Larger updates (new sections, restructured content) are quoted based on scope. This is often cheaper long-term than paying for CMS features you rarely use. We also provide a simple guide for making basic text edits directly in HTML files if you're comfortable with that—many clients handle minor updates themselves this way. The question: How often will content actually change? If it's weekly, get a CMS. If it's quarterly or less, pay-per-update is more cost-effective.

With content and assets ready: 3-5 days for basic pages, 5-10 days for advanced pages with custom features. Timeline depends on your responsiveness and content readiness, not just our development speed.

Fast delivery requirements: Content prepared (actual text, not "TBD"), images and media ready (photos, logos, videos), clear goal defined (what action should visitors take?), brand guidelines provided (colors, fonts, style references), and quick feedback cycles (responding within 24 hours during development). When clients provide everything upfront and respond quickly, we deliver fast.

What slows projects down: Waiting for content ("we'll send text next week"), iterative design changes (should've been decided during brief), stakeholder approval delays (multiple rounds of internal reviews), missing assets (logo in wrong format, photos too small), and scope creep (adding features mid-project). We're fast when you're fast. If you need a landing page live in 3 days for a product launch, we can do it—but you must have everything ready immediately and trust our design decisions without lengthy revision cycles. Rush delivery (under 5 days) may incur priority fees if it displaces other scheduled work.

Expanding from a one-pager to a multi-page site is straightforward. We reuse the existing design system and add new pages at a per-page cost—typically €150-400 per additional page depending on complexity.

Common expansions: About page, service/product detail pages, blog section, case studies or portfolio, team member profiles, or FAQ page. Since design, hosting, and core infrastructure already exist, adding pages is just content and structure—much cheaper than building a new site from scratch.

When to start with one-pager vs. multi-page: One-pager makes sense when you have a single focused goal (product launch, event registration, lead capture), limited content (everything fits on one scrolling page), or testing market interest (validate before investing in full site). Multi-page makes sense when you have distinct service offerings needing separate pages, extensive content (10+ sections), or SEO strategy requiring multiple targeted pages. You can always start small and expand when the business justifies it. Many clients launch with a focused one-pager, validate their market, then expand to a full site months later when revenue supports the investment. That's smart business—test first, scale later.

Yes. We can handle complete setup including domain registration, hosting configuration, SSL certificate, and email setup. Hosting costs €70/year (our standard rate), domain €10-15/year depending on extension.

What's included in hosting setup: Domain registration or transfer assistance, DNS configuration (pointing domain to hosting), SSL certificate installation (HTTPS security), email forwarding or mailbox setup (your@yourdomain.com), server configuration optimized for your site, and initial deployment. You own the domain directly (registered in your name), and hosting is on reliable infrastructure (we use proven providers, not basement servers).

Alternatively: If you already have hosting or prefer a specific provider, we can deploy there instead. We provide deployment documentation and handle the technical setup regardless of where it's hosted. Some clients prefer managing their own hosting for control—that's fine, we work with whatever setup makes sense for you. What we don't do: Lock you into proprietary hosting you can't leave. The site is yours, the code is yours, and you can move it anywhere anytime. Hosting is a service, not a prison. If you want to switch providers later, we'll help migrate or provide the technical details needed for another developer to handle it.

We can help structure and edit content, but professional copywriting isn't our specialty. We recommend hiring a copywriter if you need full content creation—we can collaborate with them or suggest freelancers.

What we do well: Structuring information (what sections make sense, what order, how much detail), editing technical accuracy (fixing confusing explanations), formatting for web reading (breaking long paragraphs, adding headlines, improving scannability), and optimizing calls-to-action (making buttons and forms clear and compelling). We're developers who write clearly, not marketing copywriters who craft persuasive narratives.

Why you should hire a copywriter if you can't write it yourself: They understand persuasive messaging (benefits over features), they write for your target audience (not just generic text), they're faster than trying to DIY (saves you time and stress), and good copy improves conversion rates significantly (worth the €300-800 investment for a landing page). We can work with any copywriter you hire—they provide the text, we implement it beautifully. If budget is extremely tight, we can work with rough bullet points you provide and structure them into coherent content—it won't be award-winning, but it'll be functional. But if you want content that actually converts visitors, invest in a real copywriter. We'll make it look great and load fast; they'll make it persuasive.
