SEO-webdesign: Websites engineered to rank, not just to look good

We are not a „we do everything somehow“ agency. We are a team of SEO and development nerds. Our strength sits on the engineering side: Clean code, good Core Web Vitals, structured data and AI visibility (GEO). Your website should not only look good, it should produce measurable results: Rankings, enquiries, revenue.

One piece of evidence for how seriously we mean that: With exactly this build discipline we reached the top 5 of the German SEO Contest 2026, against hundreds of competitors. That know-how goes into every website we build.

We also speak plainly. If something makes no sense from an SEO, UX or conversion point of view, we say so. You get honest sparring instead of a silent „we just build what you asked for“.

It depends. Not enough of an answer? Probably not. Plan on five to ten hours of your own time for working with taismo. Our taismo nerds are flexible about it.
You want to invest less time? No problem. You want to invest more? Even better.
In the end your time depends on the scope and the complexity of your project. We build clear schedules and we keep them.

One-pager or landing page takes 3 to 4 weeks and 4 hours of your time.
Corporate website (up to 15 pages) takes 8 to 12 weeks and 4 hours of your time.
eCommerce shop (Shopify, Shopware, WooCommerce) takes 12 to 24 weeks and 10 hours of your time.

Your time investment: We designed the process to be as lean as possible. Three touchpoints are usually enough, so you can stay focused on your core business:

1. Kickoff workshop (approx. 2 h): Goals and content defined
2. Feedback loops (2 × approx. 1 h): Drafts and refinement
3. Launch training (approx. 1 h): Handover and CMS induction

When it is urgent we switch to sprint mode and prioritise your project. Clear processes and a team that has worked together for years let us hit ambitious deadlines without cutting quality.

Short version: Get in touch early so we can reserve the slot you want. Even at short notice you get a team that moves and delivers on time.

SEO-friendly web design serves two audiences at the same time: The people who visit your site and the search systems that send them. It guides visitors through the content, builds trust and makes the next step (contact, enquiry, purchase) as easy as possible.

That takes a clear information architecture, strong typography, a clean heading structure and accessible, responsive design. Content, structure and technology work like gears in the same machine.

Above all, SEO-friendly web design builds in search visibility and GEO from day one: Fast load times, clean code, structured data and security. Your website becomes a sales channel that gets found in Google and in AI systems, instead of a showroom nobody walks into.

Your website is usually the first real contact point between your company and a potential customer. If it looks dated, confusing or slow, it damages your brand before anyone has spoken to you.

A professional agency makes sure technology, design and content are not accidental but match your brand, your audience and your positioning. The result: More trust, better conversion rates and less friction in the sales process.

If your business runs on referrals and on Google, a strong website is a core part of your sales strategy rather than a nice extra.

Website builders are excellent when you need a simple digital business card quickly. They hit their limits as soon as you want individual requirements, scale or real conversion optimisation.

With an agency you get a concept built for you instead of an off-the-shelf template: Individual design, a sensible structure, clean technology, connections to your tools and processes, and someone who takes responsibility for the result.

You also save the hidden time cost. Instead of spending your evenings inside a builder you invest a few structured hours and get a website that can grow with your business.

Three things: References, questions and process. Good agencies show you real projects with results you can follow, and they explain why they solved things the way they did.

They ask you a lot about your audience, your offer, your positioning and your goals instead of selling „a design“ immediately. And they can explain their project flow clearly: Milestones, feedback loops, responsibilities.

You also recognise professionalism in clear quotes, in honest expectations (nobody serious promises „position 1 in Google in 2 weeks“) and in the willingness to say no when an idea makes no sense.

Very important. A large share of traffic today arrives on mobile devices, in B2B as much as in B2C. If your site fails on a phone, you lose enquiries before you ever hear about them.

We plan for mobile from the start rather than scaling a desktop design down. Layout, navigation, readability, touch targets and load times get optimised explicitly for phone and tablet.

Responsive design is standard here, not an extra you pay for.

Web design decides how easily a search engine can crawl, understand and rank your pages. So SEO is not an add-on at the end here, it is the foundation from day one. In the concept phase we set a clear page structure, a logical URL architecture, sensible internal linking and a clean heading hierarchy. Keyword research and search intent feed straight into navigation and content planning.

On the technical side we work on fast load times and good Core Web Vitals, clean HTML, image optimisation and proper indexing. On top of that we build structured data (JSON-LD) so Google and AI systems understand your content unambiguously.

You then compete in classic Google results and get cited as a source in AI answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews). On request we take over SEO copy, metadata and a long-term content plan as part of our SEO services.

Yes. We do not leave you alone after go-live. We offer several service and support packages, from „we are reachable when you have questions“ through to ongoing development, maintenance and performance work.

That covers security updates, technical maintenance, smaller content changes, performance monitoring and, where it helps, A/B tests on your most important pages.

If you want it, we act as your external web team, so you do not have to build that capability in house.

Because nobody likes waiting. Every extra second of load time raises the risk of a bounce and lowers conversion, above all on mobile. Search engines assess performance too and factor it into rankings.

Fast websites produce a better experience, longer sessions and more completed goals (enquiries, purchases, downloads). They also reduce server cost. Largest Contentful Paint is the metric most business websites fail first.

So we work on optimised images, lean code, caching and a disciplined use of scripts and plugins.

Good web design turns your website into an active part of your sales. It brings more of the right people to you, builds trust and helps them decide.

In practice that means more qualified enquiries, better conversion rates, fewer follow-up questions in sales, a clearer position and a more professional impression in pitches and proposals.

Over time good web design pays into your brand. You stop having to explain who you are and what you do, because your website already does it.

We choose the system on performance, SEO and security rather than on preference. For classic company websites WordPress is often the best base: Flexible to extend, comfortable in daily use, and you can maintain content yourself without being a developer.

What matters is what we make of it: Fast, clean code, structured data, optimised Core Web Vitals and a hardened, regularly updated setup. A system alone does not rank; the implementation decides. We weigh that trade-off in our article on CMS or handmade.

For shops or special cases we work with Shopify, Shopware or WooCommerce just as readily. We pick the technology that fits your business model, your size and your digital strategy.

For classic company websites we normally use WordPress as the CMS base. For shops we work with established systems such as Shopify, Shopware or WooCommerce, depending on your business model and your processes.

We choose the technical base, the hosting and the integrations so they fit your size, your team and your digital strategy. The point is not the coolest tool, it is the system that keeps working for you.

If you already run a system, we check whether it makes sense to build on it or whether a change pays for itself.

The honest answer: It depends on what you need. A focused one-pager with a single goal is a different job from a multilingual corporate site or an e-commerce shop.

We cost projects transparently by scope, complexity and the services required (concept, design, development, content, integrations). You get a clear quote instead of „from“ prices nobody can plan with.

More important than the price is that the project pays for itself. If you are unsure where your current site loses money, an SEO audit is the cheapest way to find out before you commission a build.

It depends on the size and the complexity of your project, and on how quickly content and feedback arrive. As rules of thumb:

• One-pager or landing page: Approx. 3 to 4 weeks

• Corporate website (up to 15 pages): Approx. 8 to 12 weeks

• E-commerce shop: Approx. 12 to 24 weeks

If it is time critical we can move into sprint mode and prioritise your project. What matters is that we define the schedule together early.

Yes. Reworking an existing website is a large part of what we do, and it starts with one decision: Rebuild or repair. We look at what your current site is worth technically and in search before anyone touches a design.

If the substance is sound, we keep your system and fix what actually holds you back: Page speed, heading and URL structure, structured data, internal linking and the pages that carry your rankings today. If the base is broken, a clean rebuild costs less than years of patching.

Either way we protect what you already earned. Rankings, URLs and tracking are mapped before the switch, redirects are planned page by page, and after go-live we compare visibility against the baseline we recorded beforehand. An SEO audit is the usual starting point.

For web projects we normally work with project agreements rather than long tie-in contracts. You commit to a clearly defined scope, not to a multi-year term.

Optional service and maintenance packages after launch come with transparent terms and notice periods, so you can plan properly.

What matters to us: You know from the start what you are committing to, with no surprises in the small print.

Yes, that is part of the approach. We hand over a website you can maintain day to day: Change text, swap images, add pages.

In the launch training we show you how the back end works and set the interfaces up so you find your way around quickly. You need no technical background for it.

If you would rather hand that work over anyway, we are there to take it off your desk.

It depends on how large your current site is and how deep we go into the foundation. As a rough guide:

• Smaller websites and one-pagers: 3 to 6 weeks

• Mid-sized corporate websites: 8 to 12 weeks

• Large or multilingual sites: 12 weeks and up

What matters is a clean plan for the content move (301 redirects, SEO, tracking), so no rankings and no data get lost in the relaunch.

We work mainly with small and mid-sized companies, B2B service providers, agencies, start-ups and e-commerce brands that treat their website as a business lever rather than an online flyer.

The sector matters less to us than the attitude. If you want honest exchange, clear decisions and a pragmatic project mode, we usually fit together well.

We are the wrong choice for a pure prestige project without goals, or for moving pixels on request.

Ideally you bring existing logos and brand assets, a style guide if you have one, base copy (or at least bullet points), image material and information on your offers, your audiences and your USP.

If something is missing, that is no showstopper. We can develop copy, image concepts and structures with you or take them over entirely. What matters is that you know your business; we structure the rest.

The clearer we are at the start, the faster and the smoother the project runs.

In the kickoff workshop (about 2 hours) we get to know your business, your audience and your goals in detail. We talk about content, structure, tone of voice, design preferences and technical constraints.

On that basis we produce a sitemap, wireframes and a visual concept. You get an early feel for the direction before any pixel is set in stone.

The kickoff ends with a clear project plan, named responsibilities and deadlines, so everyone knows what happens next.

We plan for multiple languages during the concept phase: Structure, navigation, language switching, SEO setup and content workflow are all designed for it from the start.

Technically we use established solutions such as multilingual plugins and language-specific URL structures, with correct hreflang markup, so every language version gets indexed cleanly and stays usable.

We can work with your existing translations or set up a process with you for moving new content into several languages efficiently.

Yes. If you want it, we take over content production entirely: Web copy, image concepts and video elements for your website.

We develop a content strategy with you that fits your brand and your goals, then turn it into concrete assets, including briefings for photo and video production or direct delivery through our network.

You decide how much you create yourself and how much you hand to us.
