Modern building among tall redwood trees

Long before anyone walks into your house, they have already viewed it.
On a phone, in the evening, between twenty others.

01 · The problem

The house convinces.
The website does not.

Today Possible

The same house, shown twice. On the left the website it has. On the right the one it deserves.

We see it constantly: a house that has absorbed years of care. Materials, light, furniture, garden. And next to it a website that stopped somewhere around 2011. Small images. Three typefaces. On a smartphone you have to pinch to read it. The house is remarkable. You just can't tell online.

The cost isn't only aesthetic. A website that fails to convince costs trust first. People who hesitate don't enquire. They go back to Airbnb or Booking, where the trust already exists. The booking still happens. It just happens through the platform, and with commission.

  • Barely readable on a smartphone
  • Images small and dark
  • Inspires less trust than the house deserves
  • The price seems too high for what you can see
  • No clear path to enquiry
  • No way to book directly
02 · What changes
  1. 01

    More direct bookings

    A clear, trustworthy website removes hesitation and takes guests to an enquiry or a booking in a few steps.

  2. 02

    Less dependency

    Every direct booking is a booking without commission. And a guest whose details belong to you, not to a platform.

  3. 03

    A place, not a listing

    On a platform your house is one listing among thousands. On its own website it is a place with a name, a story and a memory.

  4. 04

    The first impression

    How premium something feels is decided within seconds. That also shapes which price feels reasonable.

Do the maths

What do platform commissions cost per year?

This is arithmetic, not a promise: we don't know how many guests will book with you directly. But you can see what's at stake.

Commission per year
3.750 €

03 · Imagery

What we look for
in your images.

Material, light, calm, a view outwards. These things are in almost every house, often without ever having been photographed. Our work begins by finding them.

04 · The process
01

Write to us

An email is enough. Ideally with a few photos of your place and a link to your current website. That's all we need for a first impression.

02

We design

We develop structure, design, copy and build. You do not see a sketch, you see the finished website. Then you tell us what to change. One revision round is included.

03

You go live

We set up domain, hosting and technology, and publish. You receive every account and password. The website is yours.

What you provide

  • Your images, as they are
  • A few sentences about the house and its surroundings
  • Rates and availability, if they should go on the page
  • A link to your current website, if there is one

That is all. We write the copy. If the images are not enough, we say so openly and find a way.

Free First Look

We design the first screen of your website up front, with your own images, free of charge and without obligation. You see what would be possible before you decide. If you don't like it, that is where it ends.

Request a first look
05 · Your risk

You pay once the draft convinces you.

The usual way: quote, deposit, concept phase, a result at some point. With us it runs the other way round. We design the first screen of your website with your own images and show you the finished result. Then you decide whether we carry on.

Draft first

Not a proposal document and not a presentation, but the finished first screen, with your images and your text.

Fixed price

Named upfront. No hourly rate, no add-ons, no surprise at the end.

No lock-in

No subscription, no annual contract, no notice period. You pay once.

Everything is yours

Domain, access, code. Even if you continue with someone else later.

Your draft is usually ready within five working days.

06 · Pricing

A fixed price, because we do one thing very well: show a single house so that it turns into an enquiry. No hourly rate, no add-ons, no surprise at the end.

We built this page ourselves.

Structure, design, copy, image selection, build. Everything you see here is the same work your house would get. If you like this page, you know what to expect.

All prices are exclusive of statutory VAT.

* The domain is yours from day one and is registered in your name. We handle the registration and pass the first year's fee on with your invoice, for .de usually €12 to €19. Before the renewal we move the domain into your own account. From then on you pay your provider directly.

** Real direct booking needs a booking system of your own, such as Smoobu or Beds24. Depending on the provider that costs around €16 to €30 a month, runs in your name and comes on top of the €390. We set it up and embed it in your site. The availability calendar in the Launch Package does not need any of this: it shows the dates already booked on the portals you are on anyway.

Hosting runs permanently at no ongoing cost. There is no subscription and no contract: once handed over, the website is yours.

07 · For a sale

A property being sold
deserves more than a PDF.

Single property websites. An address you can send, instead of an eight megabyte attachment. Password protected on request, for sales that should not go to a portal alone.

Large white building set on a green field

Key figures right away

Living space, plot, year built, energy rating and price sit at the top. Nobody scrolls through fourteen pages to find the square metres.

A link, not an attachment

Shareable in a message, opens instantly on any device. Password-protected if you want, so only selected buyers can look inside.

Built for the viewing

Floor plan, location and directions are ready on the phone. Buyers arrive prepared and you explain less of the basics.

An argument in the listing pitch

Agents show up differently with this than with a standard brochure. Offering an owner a website for their house shifts the conversation away from the commission rate.

Honestly: a dedicated page does not add reach. That still comes from the portals. What it does is turn interest into a serious enquiry, and cut down on viewings that lead nowhere.

08 · Studio

A design studio from Hamburg
for places that are more
than somewhere to stay.

Notebook, set square and pen on a desk

Hoff & Schneider is a small design studio based in Hamburg. We combine web design with a feeling for rooms, architecture and visual storytelling.

You speak to the person designing your website. No project management layer in between. That is why this is fast and affordable.

What we don't do: adapt template builders. Bill six weeks of concept phase. Promise reach nobody can guarantee.

  • Fixed price, stated upfront
  • The draft comes first, the order after
  • You get every account
  • No mandatory subscription, no annual contract
09 · Questions
How long does it take?
Two to three weeks from the moment images and text are available. If it needs to be faster, say so. Usually that can be arranged.
What do I need to provide?
Your images as they are, a few sentences about the house and its surroundings, and a link to your current website if there is one. That is all. We write the copy, it is included. We only need rates and availability if they should appear on the page.
I don't have good photos.
Don't worry. Just send us what you have. Most of the time we get considerably more out of existing material than people expect: crop, light, colour, sequence. If it really isn't enough we'll say so. Then there are three routes. We give you concrete tips for taking much better photos with a good smartphone. We recommend a photographer in your region. Or we arrange one ourselves. That comes with additional cost and possibly travel. We quote it upfront.
What happens to my old website?
It stays online until the new one is ready. The switch happens in a day, the domain stays the same, and existing search results are redirected.
Who changes things on the site later on?
We do, on request. Your website has no database, no content management system and no plugins. There is nothing that breaks by itself and nothing that needs regular updating. If you want something changed later, write to us. We estimate the effort, you decide, then we do it. No subscription, no monthly fee.
Am I tied to you?
No. The domain is yours, hosting runs at no ongoing cost, and you get access to the code. If you ever want to work with someone else, you simply take the website with you.
Why is this so much cheaper than an agency?
Because we build one kind of website and have done it many times. What an agency charges as a concept phase is, for us, simply practice.
