Get Your Website Built - Professional, Owner-Led, Frankfurt

Every business that commissions a website eventually asks the same question: what do we actually get - and who owns it when it's done? At mindmelt, the answer is straightforward. A site that ranks on Google, that your team can update themselves, and that belongs entirely to you once the project's complete. Whether you're starting from scratch or relaunching an existing site - owner-led since 2002, more than 200 web projects delivered.

What makes the difference - and why it's more than marketing speak

Most websites we take on for relaunches share the same flaw: built without anyone first asking who should find the site and what they should do when they get there. The result often looks fine. Rarely works.

At mindmelt, every project starts with structure, not design. Which pages are needed? Which keyword belongs to which page? How do they link together? Only once that's settled does anyone see a design.

That takes more effort than a website builder. But a site nobody finds isn't an asset - it's ongoing server costs. We build websites that rank on Google, turn visitors into enquiries, and belong to you when the project ends - source code, design, everything.

What to expect when you commission a website

Every project starts with a written quote. What's in it gets delivered.

Included: concept, design, development, CMS setup, SEO foundation, back-end walkthrough, and 4 weeks of post-launch support.

Not included: copy (if you don't supply it), photography, and ongoing SEO monitoring. We cover all of this in the first conversation - openly, with no surprises.

Which CMS - and why that's a decision, not a matter of faith

Most agencies have one system and use it for everything. At mindmelt, the CMS fits the project. WordPress where it makes sense. REDAXO for more complex structures. Custom-built when neither does the job. We recommend what's right - not what we happen to know best.

One thing stays the same across every project: you own the source code. No subscription, no monthly licence fees, no lock-in. A business commissioning a professional website shouldn't end up dependent on its agency. Switch after five years? You take everything with you.

The other constant is that Ingo Krumm is involved in every project - not as an escalation contact, but from concept through to go-live. The person who writes the quote is the same person who builds the structure and delivers the site.

How a web project runs at mindmelt

Four phases, clear outputs, no three-month back-and-forth. Each phase ends with a document or approved file - nothing gets lost in a messaging thread.

Initial meeting and quote

30 minutes, no charge, no sales pitch. We establish what you need, whether we're the right fit, and what it will realistically cost. Written quote with a fixed price within 48 hours.

Concept and site architecture

Keyword research, sitemap, wireframes. Every page gets a primary keyword and a defined purpose. Design comes after. This is the step most agencies skip.

Design and development

Mobile first, your corporate identity applied consistently - no template that looks like 10,000 others. Open-source CMS with a German-language back end. Core Web Vitals under 2 seconds. Schema.org from day one.

Go-live and handover

Two-hour back-end walkthrough for your team. Four weeks of post-launch support included. After that, everything is yours - source code, design files, domain. No subscription, no lock-in, no monthly licence fees.

Every price is a fixed price. Every line of code belongs to you.

How long does it take to get a website built?

That depends on scope. Compact sites of 5-10 pages are typically ready in 4-6 weeks. Business websites with 15-25 pages take 8-12 weeks. The two biggest factors: how quickly you can give feedback, and whether copy is ready or still needs writing.

Which CMS does mindmelt use?

Usually REDAXO - an open-source CMS with a German-language back end that we've been using since 2002. For most mid-market projects it's the better choice: no plugin sprawl, less maintenance overhead, stronger performance for custom requirements. If your project is better suited to WordPress, we'll use that instead. No subscription, no monthly licence fees - and the source code is entirely yours once the project's done.

Is SEO included in the price?

Yes. Every mindmelt website is built with an SEO foundation: clean URL structure, meta tags, Schema.org markup, Core Web Vitals under 2 seconds, and an accessible base structure. For ongoing SEO work - content strategy, link building, rank tracking - we offer separate packages.

Can I maintain the website myself after launch?

Yes. The back end is in German and set up so your team can update text, images and news independently after a brief walkthrough. For deeper changes - new pages, structural edits - you'll need us. For content updates, you won't.

Who owns the website after the project?

Once the project closes, everything is yours: source code, design files, all content, domain. No lock-in, no subscription, no hidden licence fees. You can develop the code in-house, move to another agency, or carry on with us. The decision is entirely yours.

Does mindmelt build accessible websites?

Accessibility has been a legal requirement for many businesses in Germany since 2025 (BFSG). Every mindmelt website can be built with an accessible base structure: ARIA labels, sufficient colour contrast, keyboard navigation, alt text. For businesses required to publish an accessibility statement under BFSG, we prepare that documentation too.

Case study: Electrical contractor, Frankfurt

Starting point: Electrical firm with 12 employees. No website - just a Google Business Profile. Enquiries came through word of mouth and the Yellow Pages.

What we built: Compact site, 7 pages. Services, project photos, contact form with callback option. Open-source CMS, SEO foundation targeting 5 service keywords. Mobile first.

Results after 4 months: 3 keywords in the top 10 for Frankfurt. 8-12 enquiries per month via the website. Load time 1.4 seconds.
