A small studio, building websites for businesses all across Switzerland.
{zzd} is a small web studio. We design, build and look after websites for businesses across Switzerland — in every canton, in four languages. We're picky about who we take on and how we work, and so far that's served everyone well.
What we do
We build websites for restaurants, boutiques, studios, trades, and the kinds of businesses that don't have an in-house digital team. Every site looks one of a kind, and underneath it runs on dependable, simple foundations (mostly open-source).
We don't take on projects we don't think will go well. If a brief sounds wrong for us, we'll tell you, and usually point you to someone better suited.
How we charge
Fixed price, agreed in writing before we start. 50% on kickoff, 50% on launch. Hosting and care are billed once a year after the first year. We don't bill by the hour. We don't bill for emails. If something breaks on our side after launch, we fix it on our time.
Six things we stand on.
None of this is original. All of it is the difference between a project that goes well and one that goes sideways.
Fixed prices, not hourly.
We quote a number, you decide. The clock isn't running. We absorb the risk of going over. You sleep at night.
You own everything.
The site, the content, the web address, the lot. You can leave any time. Most people stay because we're easy to work with, not because we made it hard to go.
Real humans on the phone.
No tickets, no chatbots, no overseas call centre. The person who built your site answers when you call.
Easy for everyone.
Every site works for people using a keyboard or a screen reader, tested before launch (WCAG AA). Not an extra, not a tick-box.
Fast, or it doesn't ship.
Pages load before your customer changes their mind (server-rendered, edge-cached). Speed isn't optional.
Simple tech that lasts.
Trusted, well-kept tools and no chasing the latest trend (open standards). Your site will still work in five years.
