The Challenge

Why your website is your startup's most important asset — right after the product

You have a brilliant idea, a strong team and a plan. What you need now is a website that communicates all of that — fast, professional and investor-ready. Because your website is the first thing investors, partners and potential customers see.

The reality in the Swiss startup ecosystem: investors google your startup before they open your pitch deck. 73% of VCs say they check a startup's website before sending a first reply (Swiss Venture Capital Report 2024). What they find there significantly influences their decision.

A slow Squarespace site with stock photos? That signals: "We don't take our online presence seriously." A technically perfect website with Lighthouse 100/100, clean architecture and professional design? That signals: "We understand technology and quality."

Many startups make the mistake of cutting corners on their website. They use Wix, Squarespace or a template solution for CHF 20/month. Short-term, this seems smart — long-term, it costs more. Poor performance (Lighthouse 40–60/100), limited SEO control, no AI optimization and a generic look that doesn't do your startup justice.

The Swiss startup market is competitive. In 2024, over 4,000 new companies were founded in the tech sector (Swiss Commercial Registry). Your product may be unique — but if your website looks like a thousand others, you disappear into the crowd. And the new AI search amplifies the problem: ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google Gemini recommend startups with well-structured, fast websites. Website builders? Rarely recommended.

Let's calculate: A Squarespace website costs CHF 33/month (Business plan) = CHF 396/year. Add limitations in SEO, performance and design. A 0gravity website from CHF 3,490 as a one-time payment is cheaper after 6.3 years — and delivers better results from day 1. For startups that want to grow, this isn't a luxury — it's a strategic decision.

The Solution

What a startup website must deliver in 2026 — and what we build

MVP approach: Launch fast, iterate faster

We think like founders. Your first website doesn't need to be perfect — it needs to work and be live. We build MVP websites in 2 weeks: landing page, value proposition, contact, team. Then we iterate based on real feedback. No 6-month project — launch and learn. This way you validate faster and save budget for what matters.

Investor-ready design & performance

Lighthouse 100/100 isn't a coincidence — it's our standard. Loading time under 0.5 seconds, clean architecture, professional design — this signals technical competence. Investors notice the difference. Optional: password-protected investor area with pitch deck, financials and team details. More about our performance technology at /en/technology/.

Bilingual: DE + EN from day one

In Switzerland, there's no way around multilingual support — especially for startups with international ambitions. We build bilingual websites with clean i18n routing, correct hreflang tags and individual content per language. No automatic translation, but real, native texts for each market.

AI optimization & future-proofing

In 2026, startups are increasingly discovered through AI assistants. "Which Swiss startups solve problem X?" — ChatGPT and Perplexity recommend companies with well-structured websites. We implement llms.txt, Schema.org, ai-instructions and semantically clean content, so AI assistants know and recommend your startup. Details at /en/services/ai-optimization/.

Scalable architecture

Your website grows with your startup. Today 5 pages, tomorrow 50. Blog, e-commerce, dashboard, API integrations, headless CMS — everything is modularly extendable on Astro.js. No technology switch needed when you scale. We don't build throwaway websites — we build platforms. More about our technology at /en/technology/.

nDSG-compliant & GDPR-ready

Data protection isn't optional for startups — especially when investors are involved. Every website from 0gravity is nDSG-compliant and GDPR-compliant. Privacy policy, cookie solution, privacy-friendly analytics and secure forms included. No surcharge, no compromises. This protects you legally and signals professionalism.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about startup websites

Why shouldn't a startup just use Squarespace or Wix?
Short-term, website builders are fast. Long-term, they cost more than they deliver. Problems: (1) Performance — Squarespace sites load in 3–5 seconds on average, ours in under 0.5s. Lighthouse scores of 40–60 vs. our 100/100. (2) SEO limits — restricted control over meta tags, Schema.org, Core Web Vitals. (3) Scaling — as you grow, you hit technical limits. (4) Investor perception — a professional tech stack signals competence. A Squarespace site during a pitch? That stands out — negatively.
How much does a startup website cost at 0gravity?
From CHF 3,490 for a 5-page MVP website (Mini package). For startups with more extensive requirements (bilingual, blog, investor area, CMS), we recommend the Standard package from CHF 8,990. Premium projects with custom integrations, 20+ pages and SLA start from CHF 14,999. We also offer monthly payment options for startups with limited budgets. All details at /en/pricing/.
How quickly can my startup website go live?
MVP websites with 3–5 pages can be done in 2 weeks. Standard projects with 5–10 pages and CMS in 3–4 weeks. More complex websites with multilingual support, blog and custom features in 4–6 weeks. We understand that startups need to be fast — and work accordingly.
Is the website bilingual (DE + EN)?
Yes — and in Switzerland, that's essential. We build bilingual websites with clean i18n routing (/de/ and /en/), correct hreflang tags and individual content per language. No automatic translation, but real, native texts. This is important for SEO, for investors and for international clients.
What does "Lighthouse 100/100" mean and why does it matter?
Lighthouse is Google's official audit tool for website quality. It evaluates performance, accessibility, best practices and SEO on a scale of 0–100. A Lighthouse score of 100/100 means your website is technically perfect. For startups, this is a competitive advantage — in Google rankings, investor due diligence and user experience. The average Swiss website scores Lighthouse 45/100. We deliver 100/100. More about our technology at /en/technology/.
Can I scale the website later?
Absolutely. Our Astro.js architecture is scalable from day one. Start with 5 pages and grow to 50, 100 or more — without changing technology. Blog, e-commerce, dashboard, API integrations, headless CMS — everything is modularly extendable. We don't build throwaway websites — we build platforms that grow with your startup.
Is the website nDSG-compliant?
Yes. Data protection compliance is critical for startups — especially when investors are involved. Every website from 0gravity is nDSG-compliant (new Swiss Data Protection Act) and GDPR-compliant. Privacy policy, legal notice, cookie solution and privacy-friendly analytics are included.
Do you offer pitch deck integration and investor areas?
Yes. We can set up a password-protected investor area where you share pitch decks, financial metrics and company presentations. Alternatively, we integrate embedded pitch deck viewers directly on the website. For startups in the fundraising phase, this is a professional signal to investors.
