Webstart is an offering by the company XICTRON from Söhlde in the Hildesheim region. We created Webstart because we kept hearing the same frustration in many conversations: small businesses want a proper website but shy away from opaque offers, high hourly rates and long-term contracts. Our answer to this is wonderfully simple. Clear fixed prices from 390 euros, a personal contact and honest advice that does not push you to buy more than you need.
How Your Website Comes to Life — the Webstart Way
Why Webstart Exists
A professional website is important today for almost every business, whether trades business, club, practice or restaurant. Yet many small businesses are left without a decent website because a website project quickly looks bigger than it would need to be. Anyone working alone or running a small club then keeps putting the decision off – not from lack of interest, but from uncertainty about effort and cost.
At the same time, cheap do-it-yourself solutions are no real substitute. Anyone tinkering on a website after work in the evening loses time, gets annoyed with the technology and often ends up with a result that does not convince. This is precisely the gap we step into: professional quality at a fair fixed price and with a person at your side who speaks your language. You can find more about our concrete services on the services page.
Fair Instead of Cheap
We are not the cheapest provider at any cost, but the fairest. You pay a clear fixed price for real quality, not for appearances. What you get is settled in advance, without fine print.
Personally Reachable
With us you speak to a person who knows your project from beginning to end, not to rotating hotline staff. Short paths, clear arrangements and a contact who calls back.
Regionally Rooted
We are based in Söhlde near Hildesheim and know the region. We can also meet in person if needed. This closeness creates trust that an anonymous online platform cannot offer.
Honest Advice
We do not sell you a large package when a small one is enough. We would rather advise you openly and honestly, even if that means the invoice ends up smaller.
No Dependency
You are not chained to us. Our maintenance package is optional, the technology is open and your website belongs to you. If you want to switch, we will not stand in your way.
Solid Technology
We build on proven, open technologies and hosting in Germany. No makeshift solutions, but a foundation on which your website runs for a long time and can be extended.
Our Values
Values are quickly written onto an about page, but for us they are not empty phrases. They shape how we work every day, which projects we take on and how we treat you. Three principles are particularly important to us, and you are welcome to hold us to them.
Transparency
You know in advance what your website costs and what it includes. No hidden items, no surprises on the invoice. Fixed price truly means fixed price with us.
Eye Level
We do not talk in technical jargon but explain things understandably. You should understand what we do without having studied computer science. Your questions are never too small or too naive.
Reliability
What we promise, we keep. Agreed deadlines, agreed prices, agreed scope. Reliability is decisive especially for small businesses that cannot afford a stalled project.

Get to Know Us Without Obligation
An honest conversation, a clear recommendation, a fixed price. Without commitment and without sales pressure.
Who We Work For
Our offering is deliberately aimed at everyone who wants to present themselves professionally on a manageable budget. These are above all small and medium-sized businesses, clubs and self-employed professionals for whom every item has to be justified. We welcome every enquiry and take an unbiased look at whether and how we can help. The following groups come to us most frequently.
- Small businesses that finally want a serious online presence and to be found
- Clubs and associations that want to inform members and attract new interested people
- Self-employed people and freelancers who need a professional business card online
- Restaurants and cafés that want to make their menu, opening hours and directions available on mobile
- Trades businesses that want to show their service area and receive enquiries
- Founders who want to make a professional start on a small budget
What unites all these groups is the wish for an honest solution without excessive costs. We take the time to understand your situation instead of forcing a standard package on you. Precisely because we come from the region and are a small business ourselves, we know the worries of small companies from our own experience. This closeness shapes our advice: we think in your categories, not in complicated technical terms, and propose exactly what genuinely helps your project.
How We Work
Our way of working is just as uncomplicated as our pricing model. We keep the effort for you low, take care of the technology and ensure that in the end you have a website that suits you. From the first conversation to the launch, we accompany you personally, without complicated project processes or countless rounds of coordination. You provide us with your content and your wishes, we implement them and only get in touch when a decision is genuinely needed from you. This keeps your day-to-day business undisturbed.
Listening
We begin with a no-obligation conversation in which you tell us what you want. We listen, ask questions and suggest the right fixed-price package for you.
Proposing
You receive a clear offer with a fixed price and fixed scope. No fine print, no hidden costs. You decide at your leisure whether it suits you.
Implementing
We design and build your website and show you a preview before anything goes online. We incorporate your feedback until the result is right.
Accompanying
After the launch, we explain the maintenance to you or take it over on request via our optional package. You always have a fixed point of contact.
Why Fixed Prices Are Better Than Hourly Rates
Billing by effort is a common and legitimate model. For small budgets, though, it leaves one question open: how many hours will it end up being? What happens if something takes longer? We have deliberately chosen fixed prices because they give you planning security. You know from the very first moment what your website costs and do not have to fear that the invoice will look completely different in the end.
A Fixed Price Instead of an Hourly Sheet
When work is billed by effort, the final amount is only certain with the closing invoice. For small budgets that is hard to plan around. We turn that around and name the price before we begin.
- Price and scope fixed in writing in advance
- Extra wishes are discussed openly beforehand
- no additional billing without your approval
This is made possible by clearly defined packages: START at 390 euros as a one-pager, PLUS at 590 euros with up to five pages and a custom design, and KOMPLETT at 990 euros with a blog as well as regional and sector pages. Anyone who wants help with maintenance afterwards books our optional maintenance and hosting package for 49 euros per month. Entirely without obligation and without a long-term commitment. This clarity is a real advantage, especially for small budgets.
Fixed Price Means Predictability
Affordable Means Honestly Calculated, Not Cheap
Affordable and cheap are two different things for us. Cheap means saving in the wrong place: on the technology, on the advice or on the quality, so that in the end you get a presence you would rather be embarrassed by. Affordable means honestly calculated for us. We keep our prices low because we work with clearly defined packages, proven building blocks and lean processes, not because we cut corners on your website. You get solid technology, a clean design and hosting in Germany at a price that suits a small business.
This attitude runs through everything we do. We recommend the package that genuinely carries your project, not the most expensive one that would be possible. We say openly when a feature is unnecessary for you. And we stay reachable when questions come up after the launch. That is exactly what distinguishes a fair fixed price from a bait offer: with us, the low price is not a lure but the result of an honest calculation you can follow at any time.

What you actually get from us
This stance leads to a manageable offering instead of a mixed bag: the entry point is the Starter Website, the pricing is laid out openly on the Packages & Prices page, and what follows is handled by the voluntary website care. For businesses that want to sell there is the online shop package, for campaigns the landing page creation. Which audiences we work with most often is listed under Industries; practical examples are on the Examples & References page.
How we think: three articles
Our stance shows in the topics we write about. What Does a Website Cost? Fixed vs. Hourly sets out why we consider fixed prices more honest than time sheets. Your Own Website Beats Social Media Alone explains why your own website is worth more than a profile on someone else’s platform. And Online in 5 Steps: How Your Website Is Built shows how a project runs with us from the first message to going live.
