Getting started
Web design FAQ Germany: planning the right project.
What information do you need before preparing a quote?
Describe your business, audience, objective, existing website, required pages or functions, languages, available content and preferred timeframe. You do not need a technical specification; understanding the problem comes first.
Can I receive a quote before deciding?
Yes. Submit the request-a-quote form with enough information to assess the project. The proposal defines the recommended scope, deliverables, responsibilities, price and estimated schedule.
How do I know which service or package I need?
Start with the desired outcome: enquiries, online sales, visibility, branding or ongoing content. Compare the Services page and our web design prices.
What should my website do for the business?
A website needs a defined role: explaining services, establishing credibility, generating enquiries, selling products or supporting customers. Structure and content should follow that role.
How many pages should the website have?
Enough to explain distinct subjects clearly, but not more than the business can support with useful content. Separate services often deserve separate pages.
Can the entire project be managed in English?
Yes. Discovery, proposals, communication and delivery can be managed in English. German customer-facing content should be properly localised rather than translated literally.
Design and content
Web design FAQ Germany: design, content and mobile use.
How much influence do I have on the design?
You provide business context, preferences, examples and feedback at agreed stages. Decisions balance your input with audience needs, usability, content and project objectives.
Can I choose the colours, fonts and layout?
You can share preferences and existing brand rules. If no system exists, S8 Studio can propose an appropriate direction based on content and usability.
Are the websites custom designed?
The design scope depends on the selected package and proposal. Structure, visual direction and content are adapted to the project, while proven technical foundations may be reused for efficiency.
Can you use my own images?
Yes, if the images are suitable in quality and you have permission to use them. They may be cropped and optimised for performance and responsive layouts.
I do not have suitable images. What are the options?
Options may include professional photography, licensed stock images, custom illustrations or carefully produced generated visuals. Costs are confirmed before use.
I cannot write the website text. Can you help?
Yes. Structure, editing or complete copywriting can be quoted separately. You still supply accurate information about the business, services and qualifications.
Will the website work on mobile devices?
Yes. Responsive behaviour is considered during design, development and testing for phones, tablets and desktop screens.
Technical questions
Web design FAQ Germany: domains, WordPress and editing.
Can I edit the website myself after launch?
Where content management is included, routine text, image, post or product updates can be handled through the agreed system. A practical handover can be provided.
Will my existing domain address stay the same?
Usually yes. A redesigned website can launch on the existing domain. Ownership, DNS, email and hosting arrangements are reviewed before changes.
Does my old website need to go offline during development?
Usually no. The new website can be developed separately while the existing site remains available. A short transition may be required during launch.
Which platform do you use?
WordPress and WooCommerce are common choices, depending on content, store requirements and future plans. You can also consult the official WordPress documentation.
Do you provide hosting, backups and maintenance?
Yes. Plans can include SSL, updates, security measures and backups. See the maintenance prices.
Will I own the finished website?
Ownership, licences, external services and access are defined in the proposal. Third-party software, fonts, images and services remain subject to their licences.
Pricing and invoicing
Web design FAQ Germany: prices, VAT and invoicing.
How much does a website cost?
Business website packages currently begin at €400 plus VAT and E-commerce packages at €1,500 plus VAT. See the current Web Design Prices page.
Are the prices fixed?
A fixed package price applies when the project remains within defined pages, functions, responsibilities and revisions. Starting prices require an individual quote.
Does the displayed price include VAT?
No. Prices on the price page are net amounts. VAT is added where applicable.
How does invoicing work?
The payment schedule is stated before work begins. Larger projects may be divided into agreed stages or instalments, with external costs identified separately.
What can increase the project price?
Additional pages, languages, copywriting, product entry, complex functions, integrations, migration, premium licences or extensive revisions can change the scope.
Are domain, advertising budget and premium tools included?
Only explicitly listed items are included. Domain fees, ad spend, payment-provider charges, licensed assets, premium software and legal services may be separate.
SEO and marketing
Web design FAQ Germany: SEO, Google Ads and tracking.
Is SEO included with a new website?
Each agreed package includes the stated SEO foundation. Competitive growth normally requires continued research, technical work, content and authority development. Compare the SEO service.
Can you guarantee a first-place Google ranking?
No responsible provider can control or guarantee Google rankings. S8 Studio defines controllable work, priorities and measurement and reports progress honestly.
Are Google Ads included in website or SEO packages?
No. Campaign setup and management are separate services, and ad spend paid to Google is separate from the agency fee. See the Google Ads service.
Is S8 Studio currently a Google Partner?
No. S8 Studio does not currently claim Google Partner status. Campaign work is defined through the agreed scope rather than an unsupported badge.
Can you add analytics and conversion tracking?
Yes, when agreed. The setup depends on campaign platforms, consent requirements and which business actions should be measured.
Should SEO be planned before the website is built?
Yes, when organic visibility matters. Search intent influences architecture, page purpose, content and internal linking. Retrofitting later is less efficient.
After launch
Web design FAQ Germany: keeping the website useful.
What happens after the website launches?
The agreed handover, access and immediate checks are completed. Maintenance, editing, SEO, advertising or content continues only when included or arranged separately.
Do I need a maintenance plan?
A WordPress website needs updates, backups and security attention. You can manage these responsibilities or choose an appropriate care plan.
Can you make changes later?
Yes. Future pages, functions, design changes or content can be quoted separately or included in an ongoing service.
Can the website grow with the business?
A well-planned structure supports additional content and functionality, although major requirements may need architectural or design changes.
What if I need help with something not listed here?
Send a short description through the request-a-quote form. If the task is outside the available scope, that will be explained directly.
