Plattenbrand

See it finished, then decide

See your finished website first. Then decide.

Fast, custom-built websites for freelancers, small businesses and founders. I build your site first, you see the real result — not a proposal on paper — and then decide in your own time. No upfront payment, no page builder, no sales call.

  • building for the web since 2000
  • static & lightning-fast
  • usually a finished site in a few days

01 — What you get

A finished website — not the next building kit.

Custom-built on a modern, fast stack. No feature dump, just what actually matters.

  • A finished website, not a building kit

    Custom-built, modern, good on every device — not clicked together from templates.

  • Fast & low-maintenance

    Static stack (Astro), top loading speeds, no plugin updates and security-hole treadmill.

  • SEO & findability built in

    Clean tech, meaningful titles, structured data — so Google finds you.

  • Hosting & care included

    Your site runs securely and fast — hosting, security and stack updates included, with a dedicated contact. Small content changes afterwards: a flat €39.

02 — How it works

Four steps — and you only pay at the end.

No risk, no sales pressure. You decide only once your finished site is in front of you.

  1. Send a request

    A short form: tell me about your project. Takes two minutes.

  2. I build your site

    Fully designed and filled in — in days, not months.

  3. You take a look

    Live in your browser at its own demo address — no pressure at all.

  4. You decide

    If you like it, you buy it for €950 — and your site moves to your own domain. If not, it costs you nothing.

03 — Pricing

Clear prices. No upfront payment.

A simple model instead of quote ping-pong. Larger projects we do on request.

04 — Work

Already live — see for yourself.

Current client sites, built fast and static. Click through them — this is exactly what you get.

This very site is part of the reference — the load time you are experiencing right now is the argument.

05 — About

Custom work instead of a building kit — reliably delivered.

Plattenbrand is a specialised web studio based in Tutzing on Lake Starnberg, near Munich (Germany). The web experience behind it goes back to 2000, and the studio itself has existed since 2015. We don’t assemble sites from templates — we develop each site individually on a modern, fast stack, using AI deliberately as a tool that keeps paths short and prices fair.

Instead of a hotline queue you get a dedicated point of contact, clear commitments, and technology that runs without maintenance drama. Focused, fast, dependable.

06 — FAQ

Answered before you have to ask.

The questions we hear most often — answered honestly.

How much does a website cost?

A complete static website is €950 one-off plus €20/month for hosting and care. Sites with an admin area (manage content yourself) start at €1,900. No hidden costs, no quote ping-pong — and you see your site finished before you pay. No upfront payment.

How long does it take?

Usually a few days from request to finished site — not weeks or months. You see the result live in your browser and then decide in your own time.

Do I need to meet you in person?

No. Everything runs in writing — request, coordination, approval. Our clients are based across Germany and abroad; distance plays no role.

What if I don’t like the site?

Then you pay nothing. That’s the core promise: I build your site first, you see it finished — and only buy it if you like it. No justification, no negotiation.

How does the domain work?

Your finished site first goes live at its own demo address — that’s where you review it before paying anything. Once you’ve paid, we move it to your domain. If you already have one, you keep it, of course: you or your provider simply point a DNS record (A record) at our server — we tell you exactly how. If you don’t have one yet, we register your preferred domain for you; common endings like .de or .com are even included.

Who takes care of updates and changes later?

The technical side is fully covered by the €20/month: hosting, security, backups and stack updates — and thanks to the static stack there are no plugin updates or security-hole treadmill like WordPress. Content changes after completion follow clear rules: small, clearly defined tweaks — a changed text or a swapped image — cost a flat €39. Bigger changes get a fixed-price quote up front, and for a complete redesign we give you a 30% discount on the regular price of a new site. So you always know the cost before we start.

Fill in the form — I’ll get back to you within a week with the next steps. Everything runs in writing, no phone call needed.

No obligation. You only decide once your finished site is in front of you.
