Web Design Frankfurt - Strategy, Design, Code. One team, start to finish.

We use an open-source CMS with a German-language backend. Your team can update text, images and pages without any technical knowledge. The source code is yours - you're not tied to any supplier. Compared to builders like Wix or Jimdo, you get a system that grows with your business, without monthly licence fees. Already using a different CMS? We work with that too.

A full mid-market relaunch takes 8 to 16 weeks. Smaller projects - landing pages or specific sections - can be delivered in 4 to 8 weeks. What determines the timeline: number of pages, functional complexity and how quickly feedback comes from your side. We give you the schedule in the first email - not in week ten.

Most web design agencies build the site first and add SEO later. At mindmelt it's the other way round: URL structure, page titles, internal linking and Schema.org are defined before the first screen design exists. That's cheaper than rebuilding half the site afterwards - and why our sites get indexed faster.

Yes. Source code, design files and domain are fully yours once the project is complete. No hosting obligation, no vendor lock-in, no restriction if you change agencies. You can develop the code internally or work with another agency. At mindmelt, that's standard - not up for negotiation.

Frankfurt has large network agencies, boutique studios and freelancers. Three questions clarify 80 per cent of the decision: (1) Do they have B2B references, or only consumer projects? (2) Who owns the code and domain after handover? (3) Am I speaking to the person who'll build my site, or to sales? At mindmelt, the owner leads every project personally.

A professional company website typically needs between 10 and 30 pages - depending on the range of services and sector. What matters isn't the page count; it's the structure behind it. Every page needs a clear purpose: explain a service, answer a question or prompt an enquiry. Pages without a function waste crawl budget and dilute visibility on Google. We define the site architecture in the concept phase, before a single design is created.

Yes. We've worked with REDAXO since 2002 - an open-source CMS with a German-language backend. For most mid-market clients it's a better choice than WordPress: lower maintenance overhead, no plugin dependencies, stronger performance for bespoke requirements. If you're already using a different system and happy with it, we work with that too. We don't push any CMS on principle - we recommend what fits your project.

Load speed, security and findability. A fast site (under 2 seconds) loses fewer visitors and ranks better on Google. Regular updates to the CMS and server software close security gaps. And sites that aren't maintained lose rankings - Google and AI search engines favour pages that are kept current. We offer maintenance packages, but you own the source code, so you can handle upkeep internally or with another provider if you prefer.
