Question 1

How much does a website cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost depends on the scope and requirements of your project. In a free initial consultation, we'll discuss your specific needs and you'll receive a tailored proposal.

Question 2

How long does a project take?

Accepted Answer

Typically 2-8 weeks, depending on the project scope. We'll define the exact timeline together during the planning phase.

Question 3

Is the introductory call really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. The 30-minute introductory call is free and non-binding. We'll discuss your project, I'll give you an honest assessment, and you can decide at your own pace whether you'd like to move forward.

Question 4

What does the collaboration process look like?

Accepted Answer

After the initial call, I'll create a tailored proposal with a clear timeline. During development, you'll receive regular updates and milestone reviews so you're always in the loop. The project wraps up with a clean deployment and handover.

Question 5

What happens after launch?

Accepted Answer

I'm available for questions and adjustments after launch as well. Ongoing support packages are available on request.

Question 6

What if I don't like the result?

Accepted Answer

Through regular check-ins and milestone reviews, we make sure the direction is right. Feedback is incorporated at every stage.

Question 7

Why Heistermann Solutions instead of a large company?

Accepted Answer

You work directly with the developer - no middlemen, no overhead costs. Every project gets my full attention.

Question 8

Which technologies do you use?

Accepted Answer

My core stack is Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS for the frontend, with Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, and Supabase for backend tasks. That's just a snapshot - depending on your needs, I also work with other tools and frameworks. You can find a broader overview on my Tech Stack page, and we'll discuss the specific choices for your project in the initial call.

Question 9

How do we communicate during the project?

Accepted Answer

Video calls for milestone reviews and kickoffs, asynchronous communication (email, Slack, or your preferred tool) for daily updates. I typically respond within 24 hours on business days.

Question 10

What about data protection and GDPR?

Accepted Answer

Every project is built GDPR-compliant. This includes cookie consent banners per German Federal Court standards, privacy-first forms, privacy by design, and a legally compliant privacy policy. Servers are preferably located in the EU.

Question 11

Do I own the code after the project?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After full payment, all rights to the created code and design transfer completely to you. You receive all source code, documentation, and access credentials and can continue freely - even with other developers.
