Getting a Website Built in Thurgau: Process, Timeline, CostGetting a Website Built in Thurgau: Process, Timeline, Cost

You run a business in Thurgau, and your website is outdated or missing altogether. Customers search for you on Google and find your competitors. You know something has to change, but not how such a project works, how long it takes or what it costs. That is exactly what this article covers.

Why a provider from the region makes sense

You can have a website built anywhere. A provider nearby still has advantages:

• They know the region: people searching in Frauenfeld, Weinfelden, Kreuzlingen or Amriswil search differently from people in Zurich.
• Local visibility: your Google Business Profile and location details decide whether you show up for «hairdresser Frauenfeld» or «garage Weinfelden».
• Swiss law: a legal notice and a privacy policy under the Swiss Data Protection Act are part of it from day one.
• One fixed contact person instead of a ticket system, also after launch.

147codez is based in Matzingen, between Frauenfeld and Wil. We work for businesses all over Thurgau, in Eastern Switzerland and beyond.

In the end, the postcode matters less than whether your provider understands your customers. A hairdresser in Frauenfeld needs different content than a trade business in Bischofszell that wins jobs across the whole canton.

The process in 6 steps

• 1. First call: what should the website achieve, who do you want to reach, which pages do you need?
• 2. Quote: clear scope, clear price, no open items.
• 3. Content: copy, images and logo are collected. Depending on the package, we polish or write the copy.
• 4. Design and build: you see the website before it goes live.
• 5. Revisions: 2 to 4 rounds depending on the package, until everything is right.
• 6. Launch and handover: the website goes live, you get an online handover and know how everything works.

How long does it take?

Development is rarely the bottleneck. Most of the time goes into waiting for content: copy, photos, approvals. Once these are ready, a website is online in about a month, a webshop in one to two months. If they are missing, a project can drag on for months. Plan the launch so it does not fall into your busiest season. That leaves you time for feedback and revisions.

Three things speed up your project:

• One person on your side makes decisions, not a committee.
• Images are ready, or a photo shoot is planned early.
• You leave the copy to us instead of writing it yourself, if you lack the time.

What it costs

Our prices are published on the website:

• Website up to 5 pages: from CHF 5'900
• Website up to 8 pages: from CHF 7'900, with domain, email and Google Business Profile set up
• Website up to 10 pages: from CHF 9'300, all copy written, with AI visibility
• Maintenance: from CHF 90 per month for checks, backups and security updates

If you also want to be found specifically in the region, local SEO costs CHF 3'400 one-off plus CHF 690 per month, with a minimum term of 6 months. It covers your Google Business Profile and strengthens your location signals. Nobody can seriously promise you first place on Google. What we can do is set up the basics so cleanly that Google can understand where you belong.

How to spot a good provider

• They show examples you can look at yourself. For us, that includes alian.ch, sportster24.ch and gerics.ch.
• They state prices before you have to book a call.
• They tell you what it costs to run the website after launch.
• The domain and content belong to you in the end.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to come to Matzingen for the project?

No. Calls and the handover happen online. So it does not matter whether your business is in Arbon, Wil or St. Gallen.

Can I keep my existing copy?

Yes. In the 5-page package we polish your copy. From 8 pages we also write pages from scratch, from 10 pages all the copy.

What happens after launch?

Maintenance covers backups, security updates and small changes such as opening hours. Larger changes are billed by time at CHF 120 per hour.
