Frequently Asked Questions
The most important questions about my services, processes and collaboration - answered concisely.
FAQ
Web Development
Technology, processes and costs for website projects.
Why not WordPress?
WordPress is a CMS from another era - slow, vulnerable and hard to maintain. I use modern frameworks like Astro, Next.js and Svelte that deliver significantly faster load times, better SEO scores and a smaller attack surface. The result is a website that does exactly what it should - without plugin chaos and without constant security updates.
How long does a website project take?
A typical website project takes 4 to 8 weeks - from the initial analysis to launch. This depends on the scope: a compact company website with 5 pages is faster than a web application with user login and database. In the initial consultation I will give you a realistic timeline.
What does a website cost?
Custom websites start from EUR 2,500. The exact price depends on the scope: number of pages, functionality, CMS integration and design requirements all influence the quote. You receive a binding fixed price before the project starts - no surprises, no hidden costs.
Do I get access to the code?
Yes, absolutely. The entire source code belongs to you. You receive full access to the Git repository and can commission another developer to continue working on it at any time. No vendor lock-in, no dependency.
Can I edit content myself?
Yes, if you want to. I can integrate a headless CMS such as Strapi or Contentful through which you can adjust texts, images and page content yourself - without technical knowledge. Alternatively, I handle content maintenance as part of a maintenance contract.
FAQ
AI Automation
Setup, data protection and capabilities of AI automation.
Do I need technical knowledge for AI automation?
No. You do not need to know how to code or be familiar with AI models. I handle the entire technical implementation - from analysing your processes to integrating into your existing systems. You tell me what you need and I build it.
Which systems can be connected?
Basically anything that has an interface: email accounts, CRM systems, ERP software, accounting tools, cloud storage, calendar systems and more. Even if your system does not have an official API, there are often ways via webhooks, file exports or browser automation.
Is AI automation GDPR compliant?
Yes. All systems run on EU infrastructure in German or European data centres. Sensitive data does not leave the EU. Data protection is not an afterthought but an integral part of the architecture.
What does AI automation cost?
AI automation starts from EUR 1,500. The exact price depends on the complexity of your processes and the number of integrations. You receive a detailed quote with a fixed price before the project starts. For SMEs there is also the option of having up to 80% of consulting costs reimbursed via the BAFA funding programme.
What if my processes change?
That is exactly what automation is made for - it adapts. AI systems can be extended, reconfigured and adapted to new workflows without rebuilding everything from scratch.
FAQ
Maintenance & Support
Scope of services, response times and costs for technical support.
Can I book maintenance without a website project?
Yes, absolutely. You do not need to have had the website built by me. I also take over the maintenance of existing projects - whether Astro, Next.js, Svelte or any other modern framework.
What happens in case of a downtime?
For critical outages I respond within a few hours, on working days often significantly faster than 24 hours. You reach me directly via email or phone - no ticket system, no call centre.
Are updates included in the price?
Yes. Framework updates, dependency updates and security patches are part of every maintenance contract.
What does maintenance cost?
Maintenance starts from EUR 99 per month. The exact price depends on the scope: number of supported systems, infrastructure complexity and desired response time.
FAQ
General
Questions about collaboration, processes and EMIT Solution.
How do I start a project with EMIT Solution?
Send me a short message via the contact form or book a free initial consultation directly. In it we discuss your plans, I ask questions and you receive an honest assessment within 24 hours - including timeline and cost estimate.
What does a typical project look like?
Every project follows a clear process: analysis and requirements definition, concept and design, technical implementation, testing and launch. You are involved at every stage and know at all times where the project stands. No black box.
Do you also work remotely?
Yes, exclusively. I handle all my projects remotely - this works for clients across Germany and the EU. Communication runs via email, video calls and, if needed, shared project tools. On-site meetings are generally not necessary.
How does payment work?
Typically I split the payment: 50% at project start and 50% upon acceptance. For larger projects milestone-based payments are also possible. I issue proper invoices with VAT.
What sets EMIT Solution apart from an agency?
You work directly with me - a developer who looks after your project from start to finish. No project manager overhead, no agency markup, no changing contacts. In return you get direct communication, short paths and someone who masters both web development and AI automation at the same technical level.

Write me directly - I respond within 24 hours. Or book a free initial consultation where we discuss your concern in person.
