Handcrafted websites with soul

Your site. Your home im Netz.

No site builders. No templates. No off-the-rack. Just your story, your style, your signature, built by people who love their craft.

For two coffees a week.

Handcrafted websites with soul

By hand. From your world.

Your website is not a spec sheet.

Most sites out there are clicked together. Same template, same photos, same feeling of nothing. With us, every site is made by hand, with its own imagery, its own dramaturgy and at least one moment nobody expects.

Right below you can experience it yourself: one click, and this whole page becomes a different creature. Fourteen times. That is exactly how individually we build yours.

People buy from people. That is why people build your site.
One click, another soul

One original. Thirteen transformations.

Tap a heart and this whole page transforms: different colors, different type, a different soul. No site builder can do that. We can, for you.

And these fourteen are just a window: hundreds of directions wait behind them. We find yours together in conversation, out of your brand, your story, your taste. Nobody gets an off-the-shelf mold from us.

You just saw fourteen different websites. All of them were ours. Yours will be the fifteenth.
A look into other trades

This is what it looks like in real life.

Quiet or loud, refined or cheeky: every site gets its owner’s temperament. Swipe through ten of them.

The road to your site is a walk in the park

1

You talk

Over a coffee you tell us who you are and what you love. That is all we need from you.

2

We build

John builds, Mona refines, Robert thinks of your customers. You lean back.

3

You shine

Your site goes live and you proudly show it around. From now on, we handle the rest.

No paperwork. No tech jargon. Promised.
The liberation

Agencies say: four thousand francs.
We say: two coffees a week.

A beautiful website used to be a luxury. That ends now. You get handcrafted work at agency level, without the agency invoice. And if you want to change something, just message us. Small adjustments are included, anytime, gladly.

Typical agency prices: 4,000 to 12,000 francs. With us: one fair monthly fee. Done.

Our liberation Zwei Tassen Kaffee
25 francs
per month

Go ahead and do the math: that is two coffees a week.

A site like yours costs from 2,999 francs elsewhere. With us it costs you nothing.

  • Your complete website, built by hand
  • Your own imagery and graphics, made only for you
  • Small changes included, anytime
  • Cancel monthly, no minimum term
  • If you stop, you pay nothing. Ever.

Three things you can rely on

Handcrafted

No site builder ever touches your site. Every line, every image, every stroke is created for you. That is why your site looks like you, not like a thousand others.

Warmly cared for

You reach people, not ticket systems. A change request? One message is enough. We take care of it, friendly and fast.

Honestly fair

One price, no fine print, no minimum term. You pay for the care, not for the build. And if you stop, you pay nothing. We call that old school, and we give you our word on it.

No anonymous agency

The three of us build your Zuhause

Three faces you know. A team behind us you can feel.

Three houses, one signature
Via Vital GroupVia Vital GroupVirtuFlowVirtuFlowVIVYT Creative StudiosVIVYTHerzstück WebHerzstück Web

Herzstück Web is a house of the Via Vital Group: VirtuFlow for back office, sales and assistance, VIVYT Creative Studios as our creative studio for IT, graphics, web and video, plus our own insurance and investment division within the group. Together we are strong, and that is exactly why your website can stay this fair.

A word is a bond.

That is how we were raised. When we say your site will be beautiful, it will be. When we say small changes cost nothing extra, they cost nothing extra. And if you leave after the first year, you leave with your site under your arm. Promised.

Good to know

Some questions are better asked beforehand.

Honest answers included.

What you get

What exactly do you take care of?

Everything until your site is live and running: design, build, hosting, security certificate, the technical setup of legal notice and privacy policy, ongoing care. You do not have to worry about a thing, that is the whole point. All included in the monthly fee.

How does it work and how long does it take?

First we talk, over a coffee, by video or phone. You tell us who you are, we listen. Then we build, and you get to see your site before it goes live. Fine-tuning included, until you say: that is me. Depending on scope and agreement it takes between 48 hours and one week. A word is a bond: what we promise, we keep.

What if something changes?

You send us a short message, by WhatsApp or email. New opening hours, an appointment, a different photo, a new price: we put it in, within 24 hours at the latest. You do not need anyone in your business looking after the website, and you do not have to learn a system. Others hand you a login and leave you to it. With us it is all included.

I have no good texts or pictures. Now what?

No problem, that is our craft. We refine your existing texts into a language that fits your business, warm and professional. If you have none, we write them together out of your story. We curate images to match your style, and we work your own photos in beautifully. All included in the price, promised.

Do I get a logo as well?

If you do not have one, we design one for you and it is included in the price. If you already have one, we build on it and prepare it cleanly for every size and background. For more ambitious wishes, such as a full brand development with several variants, we talk about it beforehand. You know the price before anything is made.

What about my domain?

We gladly get your desired web address for you or point your existing domain to your new site. The domain itself belongs to you and costs a few francs per year depending on name and ending, which you pay directly. We handle the technology behind it.

What it costs

Is the build really free?

Yes, one hundred percent. You pay nothing for building your site, neither at the start nor later. Every site here is built the same way, by hand, for you alone. The only difference is the scope. Depending on scope, the value of such work is 2,999, 3,999 or 4,999 francs, and it is stated in your contract. You never have to pay it. You pay 25 francs a month for the care, and that covers everything: hosting, maintenance, backups and small changes. We earn slowly rather than all at once, because we think long-term. Herzstück Web belongs to the Via Vital Group. Together we are strong, and that is why your website does not have to be our big business.

Are there hidden costs, and how do I pay?

No, there are no hidden costs. Small things and adjustments are always included in the monthly fee. Only if you want a bigger rebuild, elaborate image or video work, or something entirely new do we agree on a small fixed price beforehand, often around 59 francs. You always know the cost in advance. Always. You pay however you like best: bank transfer, credit card or PayPal, monthly in advance. No subscription traps, no fine print.

Do I have to commit long-term?

No. There is no minimum term. You can cancel at any time with one month's notice to the end of the month, and a short message is enough. We do not want to keep anyone who would rather leave. If you close your business or no longer need a site, you go without any discussion.

And what if I simply stop?

Then you stop. The site goes offline and you pay nothing. No final invoice, no extra charge, no discussion. Your texts, your pictures, your logo and your domain belong to you from the first day and forever.

And if I move to another provider one day?

Then you take your site with you. You receive it as a complete file package, ready to upload with any provider you choose.

Because this site holds work you never paid for, a share of its value becomes due. And that share gets smaller the longer we have been looking after it.

  • In the first year120 percent
  • After one year100 percent
  • After two years80 percent
  • After three years60 percent
  • After five years20 percent, permanently

Calculated from the value stated in your contract. For a site worth 3,999 francs that is 800 francs after five years. And even then, we are happy to keep looking after it if you like.

How we work

Why are your sites so clear, and why do they load so fast?

Both on purpose. Many websites are stuffed with things no visitor needs: contact forms nobody fills in, subpages nobody reads, integrations that only slow things down. We leave out the clutter and put all the love into what works: your story, your pictures, your personality. And we build the way people used to build: solid and without ballast. No page-builder system, no sluggish databases, no mountains of plugins. Every site is a handmade, self-contained piece and sits on servers around the world, so it is always delivered from the nearest location. Your site is up before others start loading.

What about Google?

Registration with Google is naturally included. Our kind of site usually does not need bigger search engine work, and if it ever does, we advise you honestly and take care of it at a small, fair scale.

Is all of this legally sound?

Yes. Encrypted connection, properly set up legal notice and privacy policy under European rules, and your content and images remain yours. Old school also means: working properly.

Between you and us

A recommendation is our finest compliment.

This is how we have always worked: at eye level, with a handshake, from person to person. If your site makes friends curious, just send them our way. We will treat them as well as we treat you. To us that is a matter of the heart, and old school at its finest.

At eye level. With a handshake. From person to person.
One site, fourteen temperaments

Design is not how it looks. It is what it triggers.
