Services / Web design
Web design Schaffhausen.
Websites for SMEs, trades and organisations in the canton of Schaffhausen and eastern Switzerland: fast, accessible, multilingual and built to be found on Google. GOLDSTEIN.DIGITAL is your web agency from Hallau (SH) - personally available from the first sketch to ongoing operation.
Who we build websites for
Many businesses in the region have a website that was good ten years ago. Today it loads slowly, looks awkward on a phone and brings few enquiries. That is where we start. Whether you need a new website or want to rethink an existing one, we work with you on a site that explains your offer clearly and leads visitors to get in touch.
Typical clients are trades, service providers, hospitality and tourism, retailers and organisations that communicate in two languages. Our clients are based in Schaffhausen, Neuhausen am Rheinfall, Stein am Rhein and the Klettgau, as well as Winterthur, Zurich, Thurgau and southern Germany around Singen and Konstanz.
- 01
New website
You are starting without a website, or with an outdated one, and want a site that fits your business.
- 02
Relaunch
Existing content and rankings are kept while design, technology and structure are renewed - with clean redirects.
- 03
Booking and enquiries
Websites with availability calendars, appointment requests or product catalogues that save work instead of creating it.
How your website comes together
As a web design agency we work in clear phases. Each phase ends with your approval, so you always know what we are working on and what comes next.
- 01 · UnderstandGoals, audiences, content
In the first call we clarify who the website should reach, which enquiries it should bring and what content exists. For a relaunch we analyse traffic and existing Google rankings.
- 02 · StructureSitemap and copy
We design the information architecture, assign keywords to each page and write or revise the copy - in German and English if needed.
- 03 · DesignDesign with a system
Typography, colour and imagery grow out of your brand. You see drafts of the home page and sub-pages, on mobile and desktop, in light and dark mode.
- 04 · Build and runLaunch and care
We build, test across devices and browsers, set up redirects, analytics and Search Console, and support the site after go-live with maintenance and further development.
What you get
- Responsive design for phone, tablet and desktop, with considered typography and clear navigation.
- Performance: optimised images, lean code, fast loading - a factor for users and for Google.
- Accessibility: good contrast, keyboard operation, semantic HTML and alt text.
- Technical SEO: page titles, meta descriptions, structured data, XML sitemap and properly linked language versions.
- Multilingual sites with correct hreflang, if you address customers in French-speaking Switzerland, abroad or internationally.
- Data protection: lean, cookie-free analytics and embeds implemented in line with the Swiss FADP.
- Training and handover: you can maintain content yourself and know where everything is.
Technologies
We choose technology for its benefit, not for fashion. For businesses that change content often, WordPress with a lean, custom-built theme is often the right choice. For magazines, catalogues and sites with high speed requirements we use static or headless architectures. Where data comes from other systems such as inventory, booking portals or calendars, we connect them through APIs. More on the web development Schaffhausen page.
A good website is the beginning. To make sure it is found, we combine web design with SEO and, if you wish, targeted ads - see Google Ads agency Schaffhausen. If you are also planning an app or artificial intelligence in customer contact, we offer app development and AI consulting from one team.

Web design FAQ
What does web design in Schaffhausen cost with GOLDSTEIN.DIGITAL?
Cost depends on scope, number of languages, features such as booking or a shop, and how much copy we write for you. After a short initial call you receive a written quote with a fixed price per project phase. Prices are available on request.
How long does it take to build a website?
A compact website with a few pages is usually online within four to six weeks. Larger sites with several languages, a booking flow or integrations take eight to twelve weeks. Content and approvals are usually the biggest time factor.
Do you have an office in Schaffhausen city?
We are based in Hallau in the canton of Schaffhausen. We meet clients in Schaffhausen, Neuhausen, Stein am Rhein and the Klettgau, as well as Winterthur, Zurich, Thurgau, Singen and Konstanz. Much can also be done by video call.
Can I edit the content myself later?
Yes. Depending on the project we use a content management system such as WordPress or a lean headless setup. You get an introduction and can change text, images and pages yourself. We can also handle maintenance and updates.
Is the website optimised for Google?
Technical SEO is part of every project: clean page structure, fast loading, structured data, readable URLs and correct multilingual setup. For paid visibility we also offer Google Ads.
Do you handle hosting and Swiss data protection?
We advise on hosting and domains, set up SSL, backups and monitoring, and build privacy-friendly sites in line with the Swiss FADP, for example with cookie-free analytics. This does not replace a legal review of your privacy policy.
