01 · Demo work

Four trades.
Four sites. Zero templates.

Demo sites for fictional businesses, built exactly the way a paid order is. Hover a screen to scroll through the whole site.

All four businesses are fictional. Photographs via Wikimedia Commons, credited on each site.

02 · Why DOTforlife

Studio quality. Without the studio bill.

You get a site that looks custom, because it is. Then you get the keys, and you never pay us again.

5days

From go-ahead to a live one-page site.

€0a month

No subscription. You pay your own hosting, often a few euros or less.

100%

Of the files, code and logins handed to you.

1price

Fixed and agreed before any work starts.

Designed for phones first

Many customers meet you on a phone first. Every layout is checked on small screens before anything else.

Hand-written, fast code

No heavy page builder and no plugins to update. Clean files that load quickly and run on almost any host.

Search basics set up

Titles, descriptions, headings and share previews, so Google and your customers see the right words.

Your domain, your hosting

The site goes onto accounts in your name. Nothing is locked to us.

English or German

Single or two languages, written for real readers, not word for word.

05 · Questions

Good questions.

Is the mockup really free?

Yes. You get the first screen of your new site by email. If it is not for you, you owe nothing.

Who owns the website?

You do. The site goes onto your own hosting and domain, and you get every file and login.

Are there monthly fees?

Not to us. You pay your hosting provider directly; for a small site that is often a few euros a month, sometimes nothing.

What do I need to provide?

Your texts, photos and logo, if you have them. Where something is missing, we use clearly marked stand-ins that you can replace.

Can you write my privacy policy or legal pages?

We build the layout for them. The text comes from you or a generator, because legal texts need legal advice.

What if I want changes later?

Every package includes one round of changes. Anything after the handover is a new fixed-price order, quoted before work starts.
