Swiss Tomato did a fantastic job redesigning our website within budget and to deadline. Great to work with, I would recommend them without hesitation.
I worked with Swiss Tomato on two complex IT projects a mobile app development with back-end and a Drupal based website development. We were very happy with the work of Swiss Tomato, they were proactive on how to translate our business needs into working IT Solutions. We were very satisfied with the proposed UX/UI solutions as well. I would be glad to recommend Swiss Tomato for web and mobile application development projects.
We feel very lucky to have found Swiss Tomato. They have ran our website redesign project to a very high level, and we’re grateful for their partnership. They’ve shown themselves to be experts in everything from design and UX to front and backend development, all the while carefully managing the project and the stakeholders on both sides of the aisle. Amazing value, can’t recommend them enough!
Can only but highly recommend them. Used them twice for previous engagements to completely revamping established websites. A breath of fresh air and emphatic customer service. The Swiss Tomato guys are fast, a pleasure to work with, patient and fun. In-depths know-how and always ready to share and to support. Great experience.

The principles of good website design
Let’s shape your online destiny together
WordPress is the most widely used CMS in the world and there are many reasons for its popularity. Our WordPress developers are able to create websites with modern and intuitive designs, lighting-fast loading times, SEO optimised content, and with easy-to-use CMS systems.
It’s also possible to develop advanced e-commerce sites in WordPress using the Woocommerce plugin.
WordPress is well suited for small and medium businesses, as well as non-profit organisations as it’s excellently suited for a website of medium complexity (up to 5 languages and 100 pages).
Drupal is a very robust CMS that is widely used by non-profit organisations and bigger businesses. It allows for the handling of several languages and countless subpages, as well as providing excellent performance and first-class security.
Being an open-source technology, its modules are always up to date and well supported. However, Drupal developers are generally more expensive, leading to a 20-30% increase in cost for the development of a Drupal based website.
Being an open-source technology, its modules are always up-to-date and well supported. However Drupal developers are more expensive, so in general the development of a Drupal website would cost 20-30% more.
For certain complex web projects – or for developing a web app – a custom development strategy might be needed. Our web design agency achieves custom development with PHP, Javascripts, VueJS, React, and NodeJS.
The advantage is that everything can be tailor made to fit your needs. The downside however is that custom web solutions are more difficult to transfer from one web developer to another, making long-term website maintenance more challenging.
If you’re working with a high quality web agency, the creation of a website will take between 3 and 5 months, depending on its complexity.
Developing a high quality but simple website can take between 150-200 hours, whilst a more advanced website can easily involve upwards of 300-600 hours of development time. Ultimately the number of hours it takes to develop the website will define the final price.
Website development consists of 4 major steps:
Let us know the functions needed at your website.
We develop a design and propose wireframes.
Choose your favourite design, approve it, and our web agency starts developing.
No stone is left unturned!
Total timing: 11-22 weeks
Companies used to treat websites as on online brochure for their business – that line of thinking has since become outdated and can even damage your business these days. At Swiss Tomato, we think of your website as a flagship of your brand identity – one of the primary ways in which your customers interact with your brand. Here’s how our web design plays into that:
By the time a potential customer contacts your company to discuss a product or service, they’re more than halfway through their decision process.
And most of that decision process happens through online research. A well-designed and easy-to-read website is the bare minimum some consumers will look for when researching purchase options online.
In contrast, a website with an outdated visual design and a lack of responsive design will often make potential buyers completely ignore your online presence. According to research from Adobe, 38% of people who find a website’s layout unattractive stop engaging with it.
A customer’s entire purchase journey could begin and end on your website if its design sufficiently support that. This means creating content and optimising the design for every step of your sales funnel.
Our experienced team of web designers will tailor calls-to-action, opt-in forms, and other design elements to fit your customer’s expectations every step of the way.
Alternatively, a website with poor design choices might not have a clear path for a consumer to follow. Without an obvious answer to the question of what to do next, consumers lose interest in short order. A shocking 70% of small business websites don’t implement calls-to-action on their homepage and throughout their website. What a missed opportunity…
One of the most important online marketing tools in your playbook is your website. As such, the content of your website is a key channel in communicating your brand identity to audiences.
Advertising and outreach that leads back to landing pages within your site can continuously reinforce your brand to consumers.
Failure to line up your website with your brand image creates confusion. Faced with a disconnect between your brand image and your web presence, audiences tend to lose confidence in your business.
We’ve established why web design plays such a major role in your business. At our web agency, we focus on what tangible benefits it can provide for your company.
While the principal benefit is improved revenue, a good website helps you get there in several crucial ways.
How easy you are to find online is directly related to how well your website ranks on search engine result pages. And design elements, such as website structure and navigation, visual hierarchy, and page layout, all impact your ranking.
When customers, both new and established, need results, an underperforming website will make a huge difference in their choice of provider. Moreover, audiences increasingly expect websites to follow them in terms of what device they’re using, so responsive user experience is paramount.
Website updates and eventual migrations are all but guaranteed. How well your website is designed and the content management system you use will make a substantial difference in how difficult those updates will be.
Your website can be a sales generation engine far superior to any single person. But one of the key factors of its impact on sales is how well it’s designed.
Any business in today’s online-driven market that hasn’t realized the potential of web development to improve their performance soon will. Your company is in a position to either invest in high-quality web design or risk falling behind irreparably.
In addition to making future upgrades and updates faster, it also makes them cheaper. Professionally-designed websites are made to scale as needed and you won’t have to invest much in future additions to your online presence.
The longer your potential customers remain on your page, the better it is for search engine ranking and the more likely they are to buy. And how long they choose to stay (dwell time) is directly linked to how well your website is designed to keep them interested.
Effective websites have a few shared elements that are indispensable to make them work. Without these, it’s difficult to gain the benefits described above from your website.
Many companies make the mistake of being close-fisted about investing in a website, even trying to get by without spending anything. But they soon find that a free website often ends up being the most expensive choice they ever make. Here are just some of the key elements we take into account when designing a website:
Every good website needs to have a goal it’s trying to achieve. Going one step further, every page within your site should have a clear goal that’s apparent at first glance. It’s worth repeating that your website should be more than just a brochure for your services and the right web designer will understand that.
At Swiss Tomato we understand that contemporary websites exist in a multi-screen world. Optimising a website across all devices is practically non-negotiable for everything from good SEO to a streamlined user experience.
It’s all well and good to have a gorgeous website but that won’t help your business if no one can find it. For better or worse, most consumers trust the top sites in their search engine results. If you’re not there, you’re missing out on sales.
Yes, you need engaging content for your site, but that content serves a purpose that goes beyond simply engaging your readers. A web design agency that understands your business will understand how your needs fit into the competitive landscape and how to leverage content-driven SEO to meet those needs.
The elements displayed on your website communicate a lot to your audience. They draw their attention to important things and downplay components that are necessary but distracting to the sales process. In the same way, your site’s navigational map can either facilitate your buyer’s journey or hinder it, and an experienced web design agency will leverage that resource.
With a website tailored to your buyer’s persona, you’ll be able to transform your communication from purely analytical to one on an emotional level, further encouraging them through the sales process. Strategically employing elements like dynamic video backgrounds and emotionally charged imagery is a critical tool to accomplish this.
Web design is an ever-changing process but the more things change, the more they stay the same. It’s important to know how to separate passing fads from basic design principles. Our proven web development and design agency in Geneva and Zurich understands how to implement all the elements to achieve tangible results for you.
Whether you’ve already created a website or you’re still operating without one, it’s never too late to apply quality design to achieve your goals. With the right partner, you’ll be amazed at how much you can accomplish with even a modest investment in your web presence.
