Web design from Cologne · For local businesses

A website for your business. Built in Cologne.

We build websites for trades, restaurants and service businesses: clear services, layouts that work on phones and a direct way to enquire. Based in Cologne, we support businesses throughout Germany, from the first draft to ongoing operation.

*Delivery usually takes 2–4 weeks, depending on scope and the content provided. We agree the schedule before starting.

Fixed-price project or website subscription?

For a custom project, we agree the scope and fixed price together. If you prefer monthly payments for creation and ongoing support, the subscription page explains packages, example prices and duration.

Web design, content and SEO together.

We plan the structure and content around your business: what you offer, who it is for and how customers can contact you. We add mobile layouts, relevant page titles, a sitemap and Google Search Console setup.

For businesses serving local customers, we also help with Google Business Profile. We build a foundation for visibility and measure progress; we do not promise specific Google rankings.

Common obstacles

What old websites cost you today.

A website should help visitors quickly. These are the first four things we review on an existing site.

Not optimized for smartphones

Small text, cramped buttons and confusing menus make phone use difficult. Services and contact options should be easy to reach on the go.

Goal: easy mobile use

Services are hard to find on Google

Generic copy and vague page titles say little about your offer. We describe your services, audience and actual service area clearly.

Goal: clear content for relevant searches

Loads slowly — visitors leave

Large images and unnecessary scripts can slow a site down. We check loading performance and optimise images, fonts and integrated tools.

Goal: fast loading

Unclear use of external services

Analytics, maps and other external services need suitable technical integration. We agree which services are needed and how consent is handled.

Goal: deliberately chosen services
How it works

Four steps to a new website.

Four delivery steps within our project process. We agree the scope, content and schedule before starting.

1

Concept workshop

1–2 hours together: who's your target audience? What should the site do? (Book appointments? Collect inquiries? Show the menu?) Who are the competitors? What's working for them?

2

Design & draft

You get 2–3 design directions as mockups — not vague sketches, but finished screens. You pick, we refine. Up to 2 revision rounds included.

3

Build & test

1–2 weeks of development. You get daily updates on a test URL (e.g. test.yourdomain.com). Content gets added together — copy is agreed in advance.

4

Launch + SEO

Switch the domain, submit the sitemap to Google, update Google My Business, activate SSL. One week later: first SEO audit, we see how Google is indexing the site.

Design examples

What your website could look like.

These visualisations show possible designs for different sectors. They are illustrative examples, not documented client projects. We tailor content and features to your business.

In detail

What makes a modern website.

Two focus areas we assume in every project — mobile optimization and local SEO visibility.

Website on smartphone — vertical navigation, large tap targets, fast load time
Mobile-first

Easy to use on phones, tablets and desktops

We plan readable text, accessible buttons and clear contact options for small screens. Before launch, we check layout and loading performance at different screen sizes.

Local SEO

Service pages, location and Google Business Profile

We explain your services and actual service area clearly, supported by structured data and a maintained Business Profile where your business is eligible. Search Console helps us track queries, impressions and clicks.

What's included

Nine building blocks per website.

Standard. Module integrations (booking, ordering, CRM) added depending on the industry.

Mobile-first design

Smartphone first, then tablet, then desktop. With big tap targets, readable text, fast images and vertical navigation for one-handed use.

SEO & Google Search Console

Sitemap auto-generated and submitted to Google. Meta tags, Open Graph, JSON-LD structured data. You see how your site is indexed in Google.

Google Business Profile

For eligible businesses, we set up or update the profile: contact details, opening hours, categories and photos, so it accurately represents your services.

Multilingual (optional)

Standard is German. On request additional languages — e.g. Turkish, English, Italian. Language switch automatic via browser language or manual.

Consent & legal pages

We integrate the agreed legal texts and configure technical consent management for the services used. We clarify content and required services before launch.

Measure and improve loading performance

Optimised image formats, loading on demand and less unnecessary code. We check performance with Lighthouse and consider available Core Web Vitals data.

Own domain & business email

We register your desired domain (.de, .com, others) or transfer the existing one. Plus professional email addresses: info@, contact@, your-name@.

Hosting in Germany

Hetzner Frankfurt — GDPR-compliant, faster than US cloud providers for German visitors, DPA contract automatic. First 12 months of hosting included.

Content management optional

You manage the text yourself (simple back office) or we do it for you (monthly flat rate). Galleries, daily menus, promotions — all without any coding skills.

For which industries

Website fits all 16 industries.

Every business needs one — here are four examples where it really moves the needle.

Frequently asked

What customers ask most often.

What happens to my old website? +
Three paths possible: (1) Full rebuild — we build it new and replace the old one on launch day. (2) Step-by-step migration — old site stays online, the new one runs in parallel on a test URL, you switch when you're happy. (3) Redesign — we keep URL structure and content but change design and tech (good for preserving SEO). Which path fits, we work out in the intro call.
Who writes the text? Who shoots the images? +
Text: You provide knowledge of your services and business. We structure and edit the content for clarity and relevant searches. Images: Your own photos of the team, premises and work show who is behind the business. We agree what is available and who supplies missing material during planning.
What does a website cost? +
Choose an individual fixed-price project or a website subscription with ongoing support. Project pricing depends on pages, content, languages and features. You receive a specific quote after planning. Project hosting and domain are included for the first 12 months; subsequent running costs are agreed in the quote.
Will I need a webmaster later? +
No — and that's the difference compared to a typical WordPress site. We build it so that no plugin maintenance grind is needed. You manage content via a simple back office (or we do it for you as a small monthly flat rate). We handle security updates and hosting. You don't have to "update WordPress" every month and check whether everything still works.
SEO — how long until I rank on Google? +
There is no fixed timeline or ranking we can promise. Your starting point, competition, content and local demand all matter. We set up the technical foundation and use Google Search Console to see which pages and queries gain visibility, then plan the next improvements.
Can I connect the website with other modules? +
Yes — and that's the big advantage of an AnvaCode system. The website shares backend and database with every other module: Appointment Booking, Order Dashboard, QR Menu, CRM, SMS, etc. You start with the website and add as needed — no data migration, no second login.
What about cookie banners and tracking? +
We agree which statistics you need and which services to use, then configure technical consent management accordingly. Measurement can include search queries, clicks and submitted enquiries.
