The agency

Planning. Design. Development. Training. Content management. Maintenance.

Say Hello is a small web agency based on many years of career experience in building websites, web apps and interfaces.

I’m best known for my work with WordPress, as it enables everything I love to do: design and develop fast, functional, beautiful and accessible websites. My projects rely on clean, future-proof code and a modular approach where performance, usability and maintainability drive the structure.

Your contact person

I have been working in the web for almost 30 years. Co-developer of an editorial system for a cross-media newspaper, development manager and specialist for content management and responsive design at classic, cross-media and international agencies – these are just some of the experiences I provide for my clients.

Projects are mainly realised with WordPress due to its extensibility, its focus on continuous development and its great worldwide community. As is customary in Switzerland, a multilingual approach is of course a must for most projects over many years. Every project I realise receives the utmost attention and care down to the last detail.

Efficient and pragmatic

As a sole trader, I deliberately avoid unnecessary administrative overheads and concentrate on working efficiently and flexibly with clients and partner agencies on exciting projects. Direct contact with me right from the start enables exceptionally fast feedback and clear communication – without the complexity that can arise in large teams or from project managers without technical understanding.

Thanks to a long-standing career and active involvement in the Swiss and international WordPress and developer communities, I have access to trusted colleagues with extensive experience in all areas of the web – whether in technical topics or in areas such as design, branding, SEO, content creation, marketing and security.

In this way, a highly qualified team can be put together to fulfil the exact requirements of the project. Clients only need to

Project costs

Thanks to my efficient approach, projects are calculated to meet your requirements and your available budget. My main goal is to provide you with a professional and well thought-out online presence. I’ve put together a summary of common costs on a project, from concept through programming and delivery, in this overview.

Instead of dissecting project costs against a nit-picking hourly rate, a flat-rate approach for each module of a project enables a much more flexible and resource-efficient collaboration. (Incidentally, a flat-rate approach also applies to support for customers with a maintenance contract.)

More than just work

Passing on expertise

Websites are not just part of the daily grind. I am passionate about my work and enjoy sharing my knowledge and skills with clients and colleagues from the WordPress community.
