Freelance Web Developer in Graz — Custom Websites That Actually Work

Looking for a web developer in Graz who builds websites that are fast, professional, and built to grow your business? You are in the right place. I'm Milos Knezevic — a freelance web developer and designer based in Graz, Austria, specialising in custom websites, web applications, and e-commerce stores for small businesses, startups, and professionals across Austria and the German-speaking world.

Unlike agencies that pass your project through three layers of account managers before a developer ever touches it, you work directly with me. One point of contact, full transparency, and a final product that reflects what you actually asked for.

Web Development Services in Graz

Every project I take on is built from scratch — no page builders, no bloated themes, no copy-paste templates. The result is a website that loads fast, ranks well on Google, and makes your business look like the serious operation it is.

  • Custom websites — Informational sites, portfolio sites, and business sites built to your exact specifications, fully mobile-responsive and optimised for search engines from day one.
  • Landing pages — Single-purpose pages engineered to convert visitors into leads or customers. Every element is intentional: headline, layout, CTA, trust signals.
  • Web applications — Interactive tools, booking systems, client portals, dashboards. If users log in and do something, it's a web app — and I build those too.
  • E-commerce stores — Online shops with product management, payment integration, and the performance needed to survive Google's Core Web Vitals requirements.
  • Redesigns — If your existing site is slow, outdated, or simply not converting, I can rebuild it properly without losing your SEO history.

Why Hire a Freelance Web Developer in Austria Instead of an Agency?

Web agencies in Graz and Vienna typically charge €5,000–€25,000 for projects that a skilled freelancer can deliver at a fraction of the cost — often with better results, because there is no overhead, no junior developers learning on your project, and no communication chain introducing errors.

That said, cheap is not the goal. The goal is value. A website that earns you clients and ranks on Google is worth far more than whatever it cost to build. A website that doesn't do those things is expensive no matter what you paid.

What Every Website I Build Includes

  • Lighthouse 100/100 performance scores — sub-second load times on mobile and desktop, passing Google's Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS)
  • Mobile-first development — designed and coded for phones first, because over 60% of web traffic in Austria is mobile
  • Full SEO foundation — semantic HTML, structured data (JSON-LD), sitemap, robots.txt, canonical URLs, Open Graph tags, and proper heading hierarchy
  • WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility — keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, correct colour contrast (4.5:1 minimum)
  • Security best practices — HTTPS, security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options), sanitised inputs
  • Cross-browser testing — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, iOS Safari, and Android Chrome
  • Clean, documented code — no dependency bloat, no abandoned plugins, no mystery black boxes

My Process — From First Message to Live Site

1. Discovery call (free)

We talk about your business, your goals, your audience, and what you need the website to do. No jargon, no sales pressure. I give you honest advice even if the answer is "you don't need what you think you need".

2. Proposal and scope

After the call, I send a detailed written proposal: what will be built, what it will cost, and how long it will take. No vague estimates, no moving goalposts.

3. Design and build

I design in the browser — meaning you see real, live previews of your site as it's being built, not static mockups. You give feedback at key milestones. Most projects take two to four weeks.

4. Launch and handover

I handle deployment, DNS configuration, and launch-day checks. After handover, you get full access to everything — domain, hosting, code. No lock-in, no ongoing fees unless you want them.

Who I Work With

  • Local businesses in Graz, Styria, and across Austria needing a modern, findable web presence
  • Freelancers and consultants who need a portfolio or service site that positions them as the expert they are
  • Startups that need a fast, professional site without paying agency prices
  • Businesses with outdated websites that are losing leads to competitors with better-looking sites
  • Entrepreneurs launching a new product who need a high-converting landing page fast

If your website is outdated, check the 5 signs your website is past its expiry date — you might recognise your own site.

Pricing

  • Starter — €600: A clean, fast, mobile-responsive landing page or small website for freelancers and small businesses. Full SEO setup, contact form, one month post-launch support.
  • Pro — €2,500: A full custom website or web application with advanced functionality — booking systems, CMS integration, e-commerce, or multi-language support. Two months of support included.
  • Enterprise — custom pricing: For larger projects with complex requirements. Scoped individually after a detailed discovery process.

Not sure which tier fits your project? Get in touch and I'll tell you honestly which one you actually need.

Based in Graz, Working Across Austria and Beyond

I'm based in Graz and work with clients locally and remotely across Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. If you're in Graz, we can meet in person. If you're further away, the entire process works just as well over video call — distance has never been a barrier to a well-built website.
