Your website works more first impressions than anyone in your company — evenings, weekends, and exactly at the moment a prospect is comparing you to your competitors. The question is never whether it communicates. It always communicates. The only question is what.
As a web design studio in Zurich, Revolta builds websites for established Swiss companies — and the pattern we see most is a business whose quality is clear in person, but invisible online. If your website was built years ago and treated as finished, this checklist will tell you whether a redesign is overdue.
Seven Signs Your Website Is Costing You Business
- It looks older than your competitors’. Buyers notice instantly, even if they never say so.
- It is not truly mobile-first. The majority of first visits now happen on a phone — a cramped or broken mobile experience ends consideration.
- It does not convert. Visitors read, nod, and leave. No clear next step, no compelling reason to act now.
- You apologize for it. Sending a link with “the new site is coming” is a signal you already know the answer.
- It is only in one language. In Switzerland, a serious company website is expected in German and English.
- You cannot update it yourself. A site that requires a developer for every text change slowly goes stale — and shows.
- It loads slowly. Speed is both a ranking factor and a trust factor. Every second of delay costs attention.
Three or more of these, and your website is not an asset. It is a liability with your name on it.
What a Modern Website Must Actually Deliver
A new website is not a design upgrade. It is a business instrument. For Swiss SMEs, that means:
Performance. Fast loading on mobile networks, lean media, and technical foundations that search engines and AI systems can read cleanly.
Conversion orientation (CRO). Every page has a job. Clear positioning, deliberate hierarchy, and frictionless paths to contact — not decorative clutter.
Two languages, one system. German as the primary language with complete, high-quality English — not a mechanical translation. International clients and partners judge you by both.
Editability. Revolta builds on WordPress and Divi: a professional build layer your own team can actually maintain, with global styles and reusable sections — so the site stays consistent years after launch, without depending on us for every comma.
Accessibility and responsiveness. Checked across desktop, tablet, and mobile — because in Switzerland, your next client may open your site on anything.
What a Website Costs in Switzerland
Quality expectations in the Swiss market are high, and pricing reflects that. Revolta’s website packages:
- Web Essential — CHF 2,490: approximately four pages, one language, responsive build, professional copy, forms, and technical foundations.
- Web Signature — CHF 4,990: approximately eight pages, German and English, deeper information architecture and conversion work, stronger art direction — optionally including a blog and an SEO/GEO-ready content structure.
- Web Revolt — from CHF 8,990: approximately fifteen pages, custom art direction, deeper UX work, and extended integrations.
All prices exclude VAT. One-time projects are simple: 50% at the start, 50% before launch.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a professional website cost in Switzerland?
A professionally designed website for a Swiss SME typically starts at around CHF 2,500 for a focused presence and ranges up to CHF 9,000 or more for larger multilingual sites with custom design and integrations.
How long does a website project take?
A focused Essential website takes a few weeks from onboarding to launch. Larger multilingual projects with deeper structure take longer, with the timeline confirmed in scope before work begins.
Why does Revolta build with WordPress and Divi?
Because a website must remain editable after launch. WordPress powers a large share of professional websites worldwide, and Divi gives your team a visual editing layer — independence from your agency for routine changes.
Should the website be in German, English, or both?
For Swiss companies serving professional clients: both. German as the primary language, English for international credibility. Both maintained at the same quality level — which is exactly how Revolta structures them.
Your Business Has Evolved. Your Website Should Too.
A redesign is not a cost — it is the correction of a mismatch between who you are and what the market sees. Start a project with Revolta: tell us what your current website fails to say about you. No perfect brief required.
