WHAT WE DO · TWO TRADES, ONE WORKSHOP

Websites that win customers.
Automation that saves hours.

We work with small businesses — trades, local services, owner-run companies. No buzzword marathons: a website that brings in work, and automation only where it saves real hours every week.

SERVICE · 01

Website design

A fast, findable website that turns visitors into inquiries — designed, written and built for you.

  • Design and copy done for you
  • Mobile-first, loads fast
  • Local search & Google Business basics
  • You own domain, code and content
SERVICE · 02

Business automation

The repetitive office work — booked, quoted, reminded and filed without you touching it.

  • Online booking that fills your calendar
  • Quotes and invoices without retyping
  • Follow-ups and reminders on autopilot
  • Only where it demonstrably saves time
SERVICE · 03

Care & hosting

After launch we keep it running — hosting, updates, changes. A person answers, not a ticket queue.

  • EU hosting, privacy-first setup
  • Updates, backups and monitoring
  • Content changes handled for you
  • Direct line to the people who built it
HOW IT WORKS · PREVIEW-FIRST

You see your finished website
before you pay anything.

Most agencies ask for a deposit, then disappear for six weeks. We work the other way around: the work comes first, the risk stays with us.

WHY US · THE AUSTRIAN ADVANTAGE

Built where standards are
a national habit.

Our home market is German-speaking Europe — clients here expect precision, documentation and privacy compliance as the baseline, not as extras. You get that same standard, at an Austrian cost base.

“The engineering culture we work in doesn't reward flashy and fragile. It rewards built to last — so that's what we build.”

German-grade craft

Websites engineered the way German-speaking Europe expects them: fast, tested across devices, documented so a human can read it, and handed over in working order — not thrown over the fence.

Privacy as home turf

We build under GDPR — the strictest privacy regime in the world — every day, for every client. Your site is privacy-first by default: a trust signal your customers notice, wherever they are.

Honest prices

Our studio runs from Wiener Neustadt, not from a London or New York office tower. Same craft, lower overhead — and fixed quotes per project instead of open-ended day rates.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

What UK & US clients
ask us first.

If your question isn't here, bring it to the intro call — or email hallo@digitalschmiede.at.

How does "preview before you pay" work? +
We build a working preview of your website first — real pages, your business, your content. You review it in your browser, we refine it together on a short call, and only when you approve it do you pay and go live. If it is not for you, you simply walk away. No deposit, no obligation.
Where are you based — and do you work with UK and US clients? +
We are an independent studio in Wiener Neustadt, Austria, just south of Vienna, and we work remotely with English-speaking clients. Austria is on Central European Time: we overlap with the UK for the whole working day and with the US East Coast every morning.
Why would I hire an Austrian studio instead of a local agency? +
Two reasons: standards and cost base. We build for German-speaking Europe, where clients expect precise engineering, documentation a human can read, and privacy compliance under the strictest data-protection regime in the world. And because our studio runs from Wiener Neustadt rather than London or New York, you get that standard without big-city agency overhead in the price.
What currency will my quote be in? +
Quotes are provided in GBP or USD — whichever you prefer. The reference prices on this page are our public euro prices, net of VAT.
Who owns the website afterwards? +
You do. Domain, code, accounts and content are handed over in your name, with documentation. No lock-in: you can take everything to another provider at any time.
