Agency, site builder, freelancer
A new website is easy to order. One that brings in leads is not.
The big agency
Endless alignment meetings, high day rates, and you end up talking to a project manager instead of the person building your site.
The site builder
Online fast, but slow, hard to find and out of options as soon as you need booking, a customer login or an integration.
The freelancer from somewhere
Affordable until they stop answering. Hosting, updates and security are then left to you.
The KSTAQ way
One person in Dortmund who owns concept, design and development together. Reachable, reliable, at a fixed price.

Getting found
Clean structure, structured data and local signals are built in from the start.
- 03
Privacy by design
Analytics without cookies, self-hosted fonts and as few third parties as possible.
- 04
Accessible
Good contrast, keyboard navigation and a clear structure. That helps every visitor and meets growing legal requirements.
- 05
You own the code
No site builder, no lock-in. You receive the complete source code and all access credentials.
