CLAUS? THAT'S ME. RAPHAEL.
What sets me apart isn't just what I do—it's how I do it.
I love bringing order to complex topics and structuring ideas so that they become understandable, clear, and actionable. I design and develop future-proof websites for companies with big plans. In doing so, I think analytically, work creatively—and get right to the point. No detours.
The path here wasn't a straight one—but it was logical.
From derivatives trader to web designer? Sounds weird. It is.
I come from the world of numbers, systems, and responsibility. As an investment banker, trader, and certified “Chartered Market Technician,” timing, precision, and solutions were part of my everyday life.
But at some point, I became less interested in what I was calculating—and more interested in how things could be designed. How technology can be put to good use. How ideas become real digital experiences.
Websites? Ever since I was in school.
I built my first website over 20 years ago—out of curiosity and a love for all things digital.
Since then, I’ve developed my own business models, helped build startups, and guided many projects from the initial idea all the way to launch.
Today, I help others do exactly that: bring their ideas to life and implement them digitally—with structured, well-thought-out websites that not only look good but actually work.
I work in German, English, and Dutch—and prefer to communicate directly rather than in a overly analytical way. You’ll always work directly with me. But I don’t do everything on my own: I work closely with my wife Arinda (branding & business) and a small network of specialists. We brainstorm together and implement our ideas in a targeted, no-nonsense way.
I listen. I ask the right questions. I bring structure. And I deliver. Personally. Pragmatically. Without drama.
I believe creativity doesn’t come from sitting in front of a screen. It comes from movement, conversations, and real life.
Many of my best ideas have come while sailing, biking—or spending time with the kids. It’s exactly this balance of focus and freedom that shapes the way I work: clear, calm, and fully present when it counts.

CURIOUS? HAVE QUESTIONS? LET'S TALK!
+ START PROJECTYOUR WEBSITE. MY TOOLS & SKILLS. DONE RIGHT.
I develop future-proof, high-performance websites with clean designs for you and your big plans, whether you’re a sole proprietor or run an SME. Every design is created specifically for you. Technically, I build it using Webflow or custom code and a CMS, depending on what your project requires.
By combining structure, design, and automation, I create a website that presents your digital presence in an authentic and professional way while clearly conveying your values and mission statement.
You don’t have to come to me with a “finished” concept. If you still need help formulating or structuring your offering, I’d be happy to assist you.
You've come to the right place if you want a website that:
- Intuitive usability means your customers can find what they're looking for quickly and easily.
- Grows flexibly with you: because your business and your needs continue to evolve.
- "Tailor-made" means: based on a clear structure and strategy, ready for you to implement right away—not a standard, off-the-shelf solution.
- You can manage it yourself: thanks to the CMS, you can update content without having to rely on help every time.

TRANSPARENCY INSTEAD OF SURPRISES. FAQ.
What do I need to get started?
A rough idea of what you want. We'll figure out the rest together. You can provide the text, images, or branding, or I can help you develop them.
How do you handle a project?
In five clear steps: understand, plan, design, implement, optimize. I’ll guide you through the entire process, with dedicated points of contact and streamlined communication.
How long will the implementation take?
Depending on the scope, it usually takes 3 to 6 weeks from kick-off to launch. If you can deliver quickly, I can move even faster. There are no artificial delays.
How much does a website cost with you?
It depends on your project: scope, content, features, and timeline. I don’t work with fixed packages; instead, I develop customized solutions tailored to what you really need. After our conversation, you’ll receive a transparent assessment and a clear, fixed-price quote before we get started. No fine print and no unpleasant surprises.
How does the payment process work?
You’ll receive a clear quote with a fixed price. At the start of the project, I’ll invoice you for a down payment, and the balance is due after the launch. For larger projects, it’s also possible to break the work down into several phases. Everything is transparent and set out in writing before we begin.
Why Webflow or code?
Your design is always unique. When it comes to technology, I choose what works best for your project. Webflow gives me complete creative freedom, clean code, and fast development—all without the hassle of plugins. If a project requires more flexibility or specific features, I build it using code and a CMS. Either way, your site will run smoothly, be easy to maintain, and you’ll be able to update it yourself later on.
Will I be able to edit my website myself afterward?
Yes. Whether it's Webflow or Code, every website comes with a CMS that lets you easily update text, images, and content on your own. I'll show you how it works, or send you a video tutorial.
Do you really do everything yourself?
Almost. I handle strategy, design, development in Webflow or via code, more complex integrations, and photography myself. For branding, I work closely with my partner, Arinda Huber. She captures the essence of brands, both visually and in terms of content. If something specific is needed on top of that, I have a small network of reliable professionals with whom I enjoy working and have a proven track record of collaboration. You’ll get a solution that fits your needs, without unnecessary detours or agency red tape.
Do you work with AI, too?
Yes, but in a targeted way. For coding projects, I use AI-powered tools—such as Claude Code. I also provide support with structure, content, and automation. I handle the design, strategy, and quality control myself. You won’t get a run-of-the-mill product, but a solution that I’ve personally reviewed.
What about hosting and domain names?
That depends on the implementation. With Webflow, hosting is handled directly through Webflow—you choose a hosting plan that works for you. For projects involving code and a CMS, I use Vercel or DigitalOcean for hosting, for example. You always retain ownership of your domain. If you don’t have one yet, I’ll help you register it. We’ll discuss any ongoing costs before we get started so there are no surprises.
Is the website optimized for mobile devices?
Absolutely. A mobile-first approach is standard. Every page is optimized for desktop, tablet, and smartphone—both visually and functionally.
Do you also offer custom Shopify online stores?
Yes, and not just a standard, off-the-shelf template. I’ll design your store from scratch in Webflow and implement it as a fully customized Shopify theme that matches your brand. If you’d like, it can be in one or multiple languages and include all the features you need. The result is an online store that’s just as unique as your product—whether you have 10 or 10,000 products.
Do you also do website updates or redesigns?
Yes. If your existing website is showing its age but the content is still relevant, we’ll give it a fresh look and optimize its structure, UX, and performance. We’ll transform it from “old” to “clear, modern, and effective.” There’s no need for a complete overhaul, but the impact is significant.
Do you also help with migrating existing websites?
Yes. I migrate content and structures from existing systems such as WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Jimdo, or Shopify to Webflow or, if you prefer, to a custom-coded solution with a CMS. The result is clean, structured, and search engine-friendly. I make sure nothing gets lost, everything runs faster, and you end up with a clearer overview and more control.
Do you help with the texts, too?
Yes. You don’t have to come to me with a “finished” proposal. If you’re still unsure how to phrase or structure your offer, we’ll develop the structure and content together. You bring your expertise, and I’ll help you turn it into clear, understandable messages. If you already have your own text, I’d be happy to edit and reorganize it for the website.
Do you do SEO, too?
Yes, every website includes the technical basics: a clean structure, fast loading times, meta titles and descriptions, alt text, and a sitemap. These elements lay the foundation for Google to find you easily. An ongoing SEO program with a keyword strategy and content planning is not part of the standard package. If you’re interested in that, we’d be happy to discuss what would work best for you.
Can the website also be made multilingual?
Yes. Whether it’s German, English, French, or another language: I build multilingual support into the structure from the very beginning so that you can easily manage all content later through the CMS. The number of languages you need will affect the effort and cost involved. We’ll discuss that during our first meeting.
What about data protection (nDSG and GDPR)?
Data protection is integrated into the implementation process from the very beginning. I set up cookie banners, forms, and tracking (such as Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager) to ensure they comply with requirements in Switzerland and the EU. The privacy policy itself must be tailored to your business. To that end, I recommend having it reviewed by a specialist. I’ll make sure it’s technically integrated correctly.
What about Analytics & Performance?
I'll set up Google Analytics for you (via Google Tag Manager, if you'd like) or privacy-friendly alternatives like Plausible so you can see what's happening on your site. If needed, we'll review the data together and continue to optimize it.
Do you also offer branding services?
Yes. When it comes to branding, I work closely with my partner, Arinda. She’s a brand strategist and designer. Together, we create a visual foundation that not only looks great but also suits you.
Will you continue to support me after the launch?
If you'd like, sure. I offer one-time or ongoing support, for example, for optimizations, updates, or new pages. But you're not dependent on me, because you can maintain your website yourself at any time.
Do you also offer minor website updates?
Yes. If you already have a website that just needs a few specific tweaks, I'd be happy to help you—efficiently and transparently—on an hourly basis. You don't need a large project for this.
Do you also work as a freelancer for agencies or teams?
Yes, I'd be happy to. I support agencies, studios, and in-house teams exactly where they need help: concept, design, Webflow, code, technical implementation, or consulting. I get up to speed quickly, work independently, and focus on finding solutions—without needing a long onboarding period.
