Everything you need to know before the project.Do I own the website after the project?
Yes. You get all access credentials and own the website content and configuration. With WordPress, you receive admin rights in the backend. With Premium, you get the complete code (repository/export) and all necessary deployment info.
What does "Premium" mean exactly?
Premium means: Your website runs on a server environment operated exclusively for you in Germany (no shared hosting). You have full control over your content, while I take over the technical operation of the infrastructure. There is no lock-in: You can cancel at any time and receive code and data to take with you.
What does the server cost monthly – and what happens if I cancel?
The monthly server costs are ongoing infrastructure costs (e.g., €29 or €49 per month – depending on package/performance). If you cancel, you receive a clean handover: code/build, deployment guide, and support for moving to another provider if desired. You are not "locked in".
When does a custom solution make sense?
When you have specific requirements, want maximum performance, prefer a very low-maintenance solution, or need a reduced attack surface. A custom self-hosted solution is ideal if you want to remain independent long term without maintaining a plugin landscape.
Can I change content myself later?
Yes. With WordPress, you can maintain texts and images in the backend yourself. With Premium, depending on the solution, there's secure content management or clearly defined change paths (e.g., simple editors or structured content). You receive a brief introduction or documentation so you're not dependent.
Why WordPress and not Wix or Squarespace?
Because you want to remain flexible in the long term. Website builders are convenient but often limited in structure, extensibility, and data portability. WordPress is an open standard with a large community and offers you significantly more control over hosting, content, and extensions.
How long does a project take?
Depends on scope and collaboration. An 'Olympic' one-pager is often live in 1-2 weeks. A larger WordPress presence or shop typically takes 4-8 weeks (concept, design, implementation, testing).
Is my site optimized for Google (SEO)?
You start with a clean technical foundation: structure, loading time, semantic headings, meta data, and indexability. No one can guarantee top rankings – but the technical prerequisites are a major lever and are standard with me.
