Introducing website creation services to your team without resistance

The technical part of website creation services is rarely the problem. What implementations actually fail on has to do with the people who are supposed to work with it — and that can be addressed upfront.

In short

Resistance to website creation services is almost never about technology, but about feared additional work or the worry of being replaced. Whoever handles the affected workflow daily should be asked before implementation, not informed afterward — and nothing should be introduced that requires additional data entry.

01 — Team

How to get the team on board

  • Involve early, don't just inform early. Whoever handles the process daily knows where the exceptions are. This information only exists beforehand, not after go-live.
  • Take resistance seriously. It's almost never directed at technology, but at extra work or the fear of being replaced. Both need to be addressed openly.
  • Don't introduce anything that creates extra work. Systems that require additional data entry will be circumvented — and rightly so.
  • Designate one person as the first point of contact. Not as ownership, but so questions don't fall through the cracks.
  • Make success visible. If after four weeks no one knows whether it delivered results, what sticks is the memory of the disruption, not the benefit.

02 — Participation

What we need from you

  • A contact person who can make decisions — not just forward them.
  • Access to the affected systems, in time and not on launch day.
  • Real examples from daily business — the messier, the more useful for testing.
  • Two to four hours for coordination, distributed over the project duration.
  • An answer to the question of what success means. Without it, nothing can be assessed afterward.

03 — Measurement

How you measure success

  • Define the one number beforehand. Without a baseline value, nothing can be proven afterward. Two weeks of tracking is enough for a reliable reference point.
  • Processing time per case. The most direct metric: How long does the affected process take today, how long afterward.
  • Percentage of cases that complete without intervention. This ratio typically rises significantly in the first weeks when refinements are made — it's the best early indicator.
  • External response time. How quickly does someone who inquires receive an initial binding answer.
  • What you should not measure: Team satisfaction in the first two weeks. Every transition feels worse initially than it actually is.

04 — Questions

Frequently asked questions

What happens to our old site?

The content is carried over as long as it's suitable, and old addresses are redirected to the new ones. Without these redirects, you lose the visibility built up over years — that's the most common mistake in a relaunch.

How long does it take?

Four to eight weeks is realistic if content and images arrive on time. The bottleneck is practically never development, but approval of texts and photos.

Can we manage the site ourselves?

Yes. You maintain texts, images, and simple pages yourself. For structural changes you get in touch — or not, that's not a dependency we build.

WordPress or something else?

Depends on the case. WordPress makes sense when many people manage content and standard features are enough. Where speed, security, or custom functions matter, we build leaner. We don't recommend what we like building most, but what you can still operate in three years.

What does a website cost in Austria?

There's no serious way to answer that as a flat rate — the market ranges are huge because a one-pager and a multilingual company site with twenty pages are completely different projects technically. What matters most is how much content has to be created from scratch — that's almost always the biggest line item, not the technology. Send us a quick note about what you have in mind, and you'll get a proposal that fits your scope.

What does ongoing operation cost?

Hosting, domain, updates, and backups are ongoing costs — how much depends on the size and requirements of the site, and we state that transparently in the quote. Anyone who skimps on that skimps until the first security incident.

Are there subsidies?

For digitalization projects in Austria, there are several funding programs, such as KMU.DIGITAL (kmudigital.at) or the aws digitalization subsidy (aws.at). Whether your project currently qualifies, we check individually — the application must be approved before awarding the contract in any case.

Let's talk briefly about whether this makes sense for you.

A twenty-minute conversation is usually enough to clarify whether a project makes sense. If not, we'll say so — that's cheaper for both sides than an offer nobody needs.
