Web agency Eastern Switzerland

Websites for SMEs in St. Gallen and Eastern Switzerland

I'm Philipp Roth, and with KOMUNIQUE I build websites for SMEs across Eastern Switzerland from my base in Appenzell: clearly structured, fast, easy to manage yourself and found in Google and in AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Simple websites start at CHF 3,000.

Process

How your website comes to life, step by step

It all starts with a conversation, in person at your place in Eastern Switzerland or via web meeting. I want to understand what you do, who you want to reach and what matters to you. From there come the concept, design, copy, the technical build and finally the launch.

Idea

The foundation of a good website is an understanding of your business. Together we talk about your goals, your audience and your brand message, in person if you like.

Copy & Design

Concept, structure and design take shape together in das kreativkollektiv, with Katja Saenze (Grafik Art) for graphic design and branding and Tina Bubenhofer (text aha.) for copy. On-brand and close to your clients.

Code

I build your website with Webflow or Webstudio on a clean technical foundation: fast, secure and set up so you can maintain your content yourself. SEO, AEO and GEO are built in from the start. Finally, the website goes live and you get admin training.

The systems I work with

My standard is Webflow, a modern CMS where you maintain your content yourself. As an open alternative, I use Webstudio. If you need a standalone CMS, for example for extensive or multilingual content, Hygraph or Sanity come into play.

Service area

From Appenzell, for all of Eastern Switzerland

I'm based at Blumenrainstrasse 29 in Appenzell, and from here I work for SMEs across Eastern Switzerland. Distances are short: for kick-offs, workshops or photo shoots we're happy to meet in person at your place, and everything else runs smoothly via web meetings.

  • Appenzell Innerrhoden and Appenzell Ausserrhoden

  • St. Gallen and the Rhine Valley

  • Thurgau

  • Toggenburg

For you, that means one fixed point of contact in the region who looks after your website from idea to launch and is still there afterwards. I'm just as happy to take on projects from the rest of Switzerland.

Getting a website built in St. Gallen

St. Gallen is not far from Appenzell. That's why I can quickly be on site for SMEs in the city of St. Gallen and the surrounding area, whether for the initial meeting, a workshop or admin training. We're also welcome to meet in Appenzell.

You get a website that fits your SME: from CHF 3,000 for a simple website, built with Webflow or Webstudio, easy to manage yourself and optimized for SEO, AEO and GEO, so clients can find you in Google and in AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.

Pricing

What does a website for your SME cost?

Clear guide prices instead of vague budgets: you know what to expect before our first conversation. All prices excl. VAT.

Simple website

from CHF 3,000

Landing page or business card site, also as a relaunch of your existing website

You'll find all details on relaunches, CMS migrations and the fixed-price packages on the “Website design & development” page.

Your website

should fit you.

A good website is the foundation for your business and your goals. I'll guide you from the first idea to the finished product.

Partner network

Graphic design, branding and copy from das kreativkollektiv

KOMUNIQUE is an owner-managed sole proprietorship with a partner network. For graphic design, branding and copy, I work with Katja Saenze and Tina Bubenhofer in das kreativkollektiv. That way you get everything from a single source, like a full-service agency, with me as your fixed point of contact.

  • I handle development, SEO, AEO and GEO myself, as well as extensions such as an online store or multilingual sites.

  • Graphic design and branding, from logo to flyer, is handled by Katja Saenze of Grafik Art.

  • Copy that speaks to your clients is written by Tina Bubenhofer of text aha.

Frequently asked questions from SMEs in Eastern Switzerland

Service area, meeting in person, costs and what you can change yourself after launch.

Do you also work for SMEs in St. Gallen or Thurgau?

Yes. From my base in Appenzell, I work with SMEs across Eastern Switzerland, from Appenzell Innerrhoden and Ausserrhoden to St. Gallen, the Rhine Valley, Thurgau and Toggenburg. I'm just as happy to take on projects from the rest of Switzerland.

Do we meet in person?

Of course. For kick-offs, workshops or photo shoots, I come to you anywhere in Eastern Switzerland, for example to St. Gallen, or we meet in Appenzell. Much of the rest runs smoothly via web meetings, which saves us both time.

How much does it cost to have a website built?

A simple website, such as a landing page or a business card site, starts at CHF 3,000, also as a relaunch of your existing website. For larger websites with a CMS, multiple languages or a shop, you receive a quote after the initial meeting with every item listed separately.

Can I manage my website myself afterwards?

Yes. I build your website with Webflow or Webstudio so that you can update copy, images and news yourself without any coding skills. Admin training is part of the project, and after that you are not dependent on me.

Will my website also be found in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini?

It is designed for that from the start. Alongside classic search engine optimization (SEO), I optimize your website for AI search: for answer engines (AEO, answer engine optimization) and generative AI search (GEO, generative engine optimization). That increases your chances of being found and recommended in Google and in AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini when someone in Eastern Switzerland is looking for what you offer.
