The 3-second test
Most visitors decide before they read a word.
People judge a website in the time it takes to blink – and leave just as fast. Here is what that looks like for 100 visitors.
- 1
One hundred people find your website this month.
- 2
Sixty-two of them are gone within seconds – before they ever see what you offer.
- 3
A modern, fast and trustworthy site keeps about fifteen of them.
- 4
That is roughly 40 % more people who actually see your offer.
Illustrative model: the 62 % bounce rate and the 25 % recovery are conservative planning values based on published studies. Your own numbers will differ.

What you get
Everything a business website needs. Nothing it does not.
One fixed price covers the design, the build, the hosting setup and the hand-over. Six things our customers value most:
Yours, completely
Domain, hosting and content run in your name. We keep one emergency FTP login – nothing else. No lock-in, no ransom.
Edit it yourself
Change text and images right on the page. No dashboard maze, no developer on call.
Phone-first design
Most visitors arrive on a phone. We design for that first and scale up to tablet and desktop.
Fast by default
Hand-written, lightweight code instead of thirty plug-ins. Pages open in a blink – and Google notices.
Secure and private
SSL included. No trackers, no ad networks, no third-party fonts. Privacy-friendly by design.
Email that moves with you
Unlimited addresses, IMAP, POP3 and webmail. Your current inbox moves over without a single lost message.
Your own editor
Change your text where it lives.
Click any text on your page and type. Swap a photo straight from your phone. No manuals, no tickets – try it on the right, it is a live demo.
