The problem

Your website should win clients, not simply exist.

Clients search on their phone, tablet and laptop, often in more than one language. If your site doesn't convince them on every device, the enquiry goes to a competitor.

Typical today

  • Outdated site that's hard to read on a phone
  • Invisible on Google when someone searches “dentist Zurich” or “Zahnarzt Oerlikon”
  • Site-builder subscription with monthly fees and still no enquiries
  • Only one language, although your clients speak three

With bauwau

  • Modern, carefully crafted design for phone, tablet and desktop
  • Local SEO for your town and district, in every language you offer
  • One fixed price, no subscription, and you own the website
  • Clear calls to action: call, book an appointment, send an enquiry

Before / after

First impressions matter.

Drag the slider: same business, same content, but a presence that builds trust and invites people to book.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does a website for an SME in Switzerland cost with bauwau?

Packages start at CHF 1’190 for a professional one-page site. Most SMEs and local businesses choose the Standard package at CHF 1’690. You pay one fixed price in Swiss francs, with no monthly subscription.

How long until my website is online?

Between 2 and 6 weeks, depending on the package. We agree the timeline in advance; it mainly depends on how quickly your content and images are ready. You get a short checklist, send us bullet points or existing texts, and we polish them into clear, search-friendly copy for you to approve. You bring photos and your logo; no logo yet? Logo design is available as an add-on (CHF 489).

What ongoing costs are there, and who owns the domain?

We set up hosting free of charge. You only pay for your domain (about CHF 15–20 a year for a .ch), registered in your name, so it belongs to you. A monthly care plan is optional.

Do you offer care after launch?

Yes, it's optional and runs monthly (4 weeks' notice to the end of a month). Care Basic at CHF 39 a month: uptime monitoring, regular backups, security and update checks, email support. Care Active at CHF 69: plus up to 1 hour of changes a month and replies within 24 hours. Care Plus at CHF 129: up to 2 hours of changes, a monthly SEO and performance check and Google Business Profile upkeep. Without a plan your website runs just the same; changes are then charged by effort (CHF 109 per hour).

Can I have my website changed later?

Yes, at any time. Send us changes by email or WhatsApp, such as new prices, images, opening hours or news, and we update them promptly. Changes are included in care plans from CHF 69 a month, otherwise billed by time spent (CHF 109 per hour).

Will clients find me on Google?

Every site is built to be technically clean for search engines. From the Standard package, we also optimise for your town and region, in each language of your site. Setting up your Google Business Profile, the biggest lever for local searches, is available as an add-on.

Your studio is in Germany. How does that work for a Swiss company?

We work 100% remotely: video call, email and WhatsApp, in the same time zone as Switzerland. Calls are in English or German. We don't have an office in Switzerland; quotes and invoices are in CHF and paid by bank transfer.

Can my website be in German, French, Italian and English?

Yes. Multilingual websites are one of our key add-ons: each additional language gets its own clean URLs and SEO structure, translation included. Many Swiss businesses combine the local language with English, or cover two language regions.
