What to expect here

Jörg Zimmermann at Zimmermann Design in Wiesbaden guides you from the first consultation through concept and implementation to launch or delivery of print-ready files – with transparent fixed prices and clear processes.

I can only provide a binding quote after a joint consultation. Then we know exactly what the scope of work will be.

    Content, structure and the design concept are defined – the basis for a focused result.

Two types of cost: one-time creation & ongoing maintenance

Every project involves two types of cost. I name both clearly and separately from the start, so you can realistically budget for both the build and the operation.

01

One-time creation

The one-time investment for the concept, design and implementation of your project – as a transparent fixed-price quote. The amount depends on scope, features, content and the chosen platform, and is set before we start.

02

Ongoing maintenance & upkeep

The recurring effort for operation: hosting, domain, updates, security and content upkeep. I name these running costs clearly in advance – on request I handle the maintenance, or you can do it yourself.

This way you know early on that a one-time creation is followed by ongoing operation – both named transparently, with no hidden costs.

What does all this cost?

The one-time creation depends on the scope: number of pages, features, amount of content, multilingualism and the chosen platform. A compact website is already possible at a manageable fixed price, while an extensive online shop is correspondingly higher.

As a rule: you receive a clear fixed-price quote instead of open-ended hourly billing. The ongoing costs for maintenance and upkeep such as hosting, updates or extensions are stated just as transparently so you can plan with confidence.

The guide “What does a website cost?” provides a detailed breakdown of the pricing factors.

Frequently asked questions about process & pricing

How does a project at Zimmermann Design work in practice?

Show answer

Jörg Zimmermann clarifies your goals and requirements in the first conversation, then develops the concept and design and implements the project in clear feedback rounds. After joint review comes the launch or handover of print-ready files; ongoing support can follow on request.

How much input is required from me as the client?

Show answer

Your main contribution is providing content, feedback and approvals. I take care of the structure, design and technical implementation; clear agreements and defined feedback rounds keep the effort manageable for you.

What costs should I expect and do you offer fixed prices?

Show answer

After the first conversation you receive a transparent fixed-price quote for the one-time creation. The amount depends on scope, features, content, multilingualism and platform; for larger projects, individual phases can be commissioned separately.

Are there ongoing licence or follow-up costs after completion?

Show answer

Depending on the project, operation involves hosting, a domain, updates, security and optional maintenance. I name these ongoing costs clearly from the start; there are no hidden licence or follow-up costs.

How long does a web design project take?

Show answer

A compact website is often ready within a few weeks. Scope, content delivery and feedback rounds determine the exact timeframe, which Jörg Zimmermann at Zimmermann Design agrees with you realistically in the first conversation.
