In addition, if you need email addresses, check if they are included in the web hosting plan. Is your web hosting easy to manage?

If necessary, clarify in advance whether you can count on a customer care center from Switzerland.

Simple structure of your website

For professional website creation with dynamic page content, a CMS (Content Management System) is usually used. Therefore, it is important that these website applications such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal or Typo3 can be easily installed in the administrator area. Even without programming knowledge, a website can be created with a website builder. In this case, check whether the tool meets your needs.

Implementation and maintenance of your website

Your offer should be immediately recognizable and central to your website visitors. Choose a design that fits your offer. Integrate your logo, meaningful images and informative texts that your website visitors might be interested in. Good content also helps your website rank higher in search engines.
