Why we are who we are
First and foremost: we love what we do! We take pride in the incredible variety of WordPress projects we’ve had the privilege to create since 2011. A website is always more than just code or design — it’s the spearhead of our clients’ communication. Depending on the size of the project, we dive deep into our clients’ business models and DNA. That’s what makes our work so exciting.
The world of websites in general, and WordPress in particular, is so complex that it never gets boring: design trends, rapidly evolving technologies, search engine marketing, and ever-changing legal requirements like GDPR keep us on our toes and make every project stimulating and never dull.
We strive to treat our clients and their projects the way we would expect to be treated ourselves. You can rely on us — we deliver on time and aim for perfect results. Perfectionism can sometimes be a bit much, but it’s usually the small details that make a product, service, or website truly exceptional.
Our business model is built on making you independent. We provide investment security through timeless web design, intuitive user experiences, and high-quality standard solutions. We deliberately avoid custom programming whenever possible. That way, you don’t become dependent on us. After all, why reinvent the wheel when existing solutions have already proven themselves thousands of times?
When you stay in touch with us, it’s not because you have to — it’s because you want to. And that works very well, as the positive feedback from our clients since 2011 shows.
As a WordPress agency, we focus on specialization, clear processes, and the highest quality — not as a promise, but as our way of working. We stand by what we do and are honest when things don’t go according to plan. That’s when it matters most: we communicate openly, act solution-oriented, and get your project back on track together.
Of course, things can sometimes go wrong. But never twice. We learn. Always and continuously. Our learning curve isn’t a curve — it’s a straight line, angled sharply upwards to the right. 😉

How do we approach your website project?
Project Kickoff / Briefing / Analysis
A strong house is built on a solid foundation. Each of our projects begins with understanding the goals of your website. We analyze your needs, requirements, customers, experience, and preferences — we ask the right questions and take meticulous notes. We then combine this information with our years of experience to create a complete picture of your new WordPress website. This foundation ensures a smooth project flow for both you and us.
Of course, nothing is set in stone. If there are change requests, new insights, or potential pitfalls, we maintain close communication and adjust the project plan as needed. The good news? We don’t work with mortar and bricks – walls are easy to move! 😉
Concept & Technical Setup
We conceptualize. We structure. For you, for your users, and for Google. Based on the information we have gathered, your requirements, and a focus on usability. A clear and accessible navigation is key to your new website — it ensures your customers can quickly find the information or actions that matter most.
Once everything is prepared, we begin building the technical foundation for your project – WordPress, the design template (theme), and all selected extensions for the desired features (plugins) are installed and configured.
Design
The custom design of your website begins. Based on your specifications or our initial concepts, we present the first proposal using a selection of example pages to give you a clear impression. At the same time, we explain our design concept, creating the foundation for refining the design together until it perfectly represents your brand.
Of course, your design will be fully responsive and optimized for all common browsers and devices.
Features
Beyond implementing the desired features in the best possible way, we see it as our responsibility to save you as much work as possible when running your website. That’s why every feature is carefully planned and thought through: How can you generate more customer enquiries? How can a shop generate more sales? How can we conceptualize complex content structures so they are centrally managed, yet automatically displayed across different parts of your website with varying layouts and content?
Depending on the project, external services may also be integrated or implemented. A plugin can be installed quickly — but does it fit seamlessly into your design? A YouTube video can be embedded in seconds — but is it GDPR-compliant?
Content Integration
Once the technical setup is complete, the features are clearly defined and the design has been approved by you as ´wonderful´, we build all the pages of your new web presence and fill them with your content. This is done either manually, page by page, or or via automated imports when migrating larger website projects.
Our goal is always to prepare and structure content in a way that allows visitors to grasp it quickly — while also playing by the rules of Google and other search engines.
Handover & Training Courses
Before handing over the website to you, we carry out a final in-house quality check. Depending on the size of the website, this final review can take several hours. We guarantee that your website is handed over fully up to date, with WordPress, the theme, and all plugins updated. The website is then reviewed and approved by you before being officially handed over. With that, your website is ready for a successful go-live.
Of course, you will receive all access credentials so that you can manage and update your website independently from now on. If desired, we also offer optional, customised training courses for you and your team. Our motto here: cost-effective training tailored to your website, your needs, and your level of experience.
Ongoing Website Support (Maintenance, Care & Assistance)
To complete our range of services as a WordPress agency, we offer to take care of tasks such as the technical maintenance of your website. This means you no longer have to worry about updates, compatibility issues, or other technical aspects.
As our client, you will have access to our support whenever you need it. We remain available to you even after your project has been completed.
Just give us a call or send us an email.

What does a website cost?
More importantly: what is a professional online presence worth to you?
The cost of your new WordPress website cannot be generalized. It depends entirely on the design, functionality, and scope of your web presence. Is your project a web business card or a shop? Do you require membership areas, special gimmicks or logics? The level of design customization also affects the price, as does the amount of work you are able or willing to contribute yourself. We need this information and a few more details, to prepare a serious quotation.
If you already have a project in mind or need a cost estimate, please use our free project enquiry form.
As a WordPress web design agency, we naturally have the experience, expertise and resources to guide your project from start to finish and get it off the ground successfully. And we remain available to you. Even after the launch.
As you can see, the cost of your project is influenced by many factors that we do not yet know. The most important question you need to ask yourself is: ‘What is the complete package and a smooth process worth to me?’

‘WordPress Agency’
If you have questions, you need answers.
As a WordPress agency, we are highly experienced with WordPress and build websites and shops tailored precisely to individual needs – regardless of the size or complexity of the project.
As a WordPress agency, we guide you through the entire website development process: content, functionality, design, legal compliance, security and SEO.
Here we describe our range of services.

In principle, we can develop custom themes and plug-ins for you. However, we generally advise against it. The reasons:
- Why reinvent the wheel? The WordPress market is so large that (almost) every functional requirement already has proven solutions that have been tried and tested thousands of times.
- Save your budget. Using established solutions saves significant time and money.
- Avoid lock-in effects. If you have a plug-in or theme (design template) custom-developed, you create a dependency on that specific solution.
- Customizable and high-performing. The strong competition in the WordPress market has led to fast-loading, highly adaptable themes that serve as a solid technical foundation for your individual design.
- Development only when needed. If your project requires special features, we are happy to create a custom solution for you.
As a WordPress agency, we regularly receive questions about the cost of a website or WordPress agency pricing. Our answer: it depends. The main factors that determine the cost of a website are the number of pages, the quantity and type of content, the desired features (e.g. multilingualism, shop) and the design. Once we have more detailed information about the project components, we will be happy to provide you with a non-binding quote.
The WordPress software itself is free of charge. However, running a website requires a domain, web space, web design (possibly paid themes or a custom-developed design), plug-ins (to extend functionality), and guidance on data protection (GDPR), to name just a few of cost factors. The total cost depends on your individual preferences.
The first step in planning a website is defining its goals: What you want to achieve and who you want to reach with your website. This determines the scope and structure of the content, the planning of functions, and, last but not least, the design of the website.

Anyone reading this text about Elbnetz, the WordPress agency, is either extremely curious or a search engine
We are happy about both!
Dear Google, dear curious minds: Why is Elbnetz the right choice as a WordPress agency for WordPress websites and WooCommerce shops?
What does Elbnetz have to do with WordPress?
Since 2011, we have specialized in WordPress out of conviction. Elbnetz offers a full range of services for website development, website maintenance, website hosting, as well as the conception and implementation of WooCommerce shops, including ongoing support – all from a single source. We take care of everything you need to get started with and make the most of WordPress. Managing WordPress on your own? Elbnetz is here to support you with all WordPress-related questions. We offer WordPress and WooCommerce courses, training, and webinars to help you operate your website and shop independently, without relying on agencies or developers.

Who or what is WordPress?
According to the internet, WordPress is the most widely used website platform in the world. WordPress is a free content management system (CMS) that has been around since 2003 and was originally developed as software for blogs. The open-source project is known for its continuous updates and the active WordPress community, both of which collaborate efficiently to provide solutions quickly. The same applies to WordPress´s “little sister”, WooCommerce, (an extension for online shop systems of any size and complexity).
Do you need an agency for WordPress?
In theory, you don’t need an agency to build a WordPress website or a WooCommerce shop. In practice, however, we often receive desperate calls from people who can no longer reach their developer or who struggle to finish their website or shop ready without external support. We frequently hear: ‘My website is not getting finished!’ or ‘I can’t be found on Google’. Many people underestimate how much work goes into building a website or shop, and getting familiar with WordPress takes both time and patience. As an agency, we are highly experienced with WordPress and create websites and shops that are precisely tailored to individual needs – regardless of the size or complexity of the project.
