Direct Answers.
Technical & Legal Clarity.

Everything you need to know before initiating a web build, deploying custom AI assistants, or contracting an SEO retainer in Bavaria. Zero fluff, pure engineering transparency.

What tech stack do you use for custom website development?
Web Design & Speed

We build with semantic HTML, modern CSS and focused JavaScript. Each project receives an explicit performance budget and is measured on representative pages before launch.

How long does a website project take from brief to launch?
Web Design & Speed

A focused high-converting landing page takes 1 to 2 weeks. A bespoke 5 to 8 page corporate website takes 3 to 5 weeks. Complex multilingual or e-commerce platforms take 5 to 8 weeks with structured weekly staging reviews.

Can I edit content myself after launch or do I need a CMS?
Web Design & Speed

We offer both headless static architectures (fastest, most secure) and headless CMS integrations (such as Sanity, Strapi, or Decap). Alternatively, our Website Care retainer (€190/mo) covers ongoing text, pricing, and image updates so you never have to waste time logging into an administrative dashboard.

How do you measure website performance?
Web Design & Speed

We agree a performance budget, optimize media and critical rendering, then measure representative mobile and desktop pages before launch. Results depend on content, integrations, hosting and the visitor's connection.

Do you handle domain configuration, DNS, and hosting migration?
Web Design & Speed

Yes. We handle domain connection, DNS records, SSL and SPF/DKIM/DMARC configuration. Correct configuration improves deliverability, but no provider can guarantee inbox placement.

How does a custom AI Website Agent work?
AI Systems & Automation

Our AI Website Agent uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). We train the model strictly on your verified company documents, pricing guidelines, and service catalogs. It answers customer questions 24/7, qualifies leads against your specific criteria, and seamlessly routes high-intent prospects to your calendar or human WhatsApp handoff.

Is company data shared with AI models secure and DSGVO compliant?
AI Systems & Automation

Security and privacy depend on the selected provider, account settings and data flow. We document processors, retention and available data-processing agreements so the client and legal counsel can assess the implementation.

How are third-party AI API costs billed?
AI Systems & Automation

We maintain 100% pricing transparency. The engineering setup (€1,900) and monthly SLA maintenance (€190/mo) are billed by Kolos Digital, while actual token consumption (OpenAI/Anthropic) is billed directly to your own developer account at wholesale rates (typically €5–€30/month for normal business volumes).

Can AI automations connect directly to WhatsApp Business and my CRM?
AI Systems & Automation

Yes. We integrate the official Meta WhatsApp Cloud API with your CRM (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Notion, or custom databases). Incoming WhatsApp chats can qualify the user, update lead stage, and trigger automated Cal.com scheduling links instantly.

How does Local SEO help my business rank in Munich and Regensburg?
Local SEO & Google

Local SEO focuses on capturing high-intent searches in your geographic service area. We optimize your Google Business Profile to rank in the coveted Map 3-Pack, inject structured Schema.org local entity data into your code, build authentic Bavarian citations, and create geo-targeted content silos.

How quickly can I expect results from an SEO retainer?
Local SEO & Google

Google Business Profile optimization and technical on-page fixes often show ranking momentum within 4 to 8 weeks. Comprehensive organic search ranking for competitive B2B keywords in Munich typically requires 3 to 6 months of consistent authority and content execution.

Do you buy backlinks or use automated SEO link farms?
Local SEO & Google

Never. Buying low-quality automated backlinks violates Google Search Essentials and risks manual penalties. We focus strictly on white-hat technical foundations, structured semantic entities, real Bavarian business directory citations, and high-value content that attracts natural links.

What is included in your monthly SEO reporting?
Local SEO & Google

You receive an executive Looker Studio dashboard tracking keyword movements in Munich/Regensburg, Google Business Profile direct phone calls and direction requests, organic click-through rates, and exact conversion counts.

Are your B2B prices netto or gross?
Pricing & Contracts

All Kolos Digital rates are quoted netto in EUR. Invoices are issued with transparent German commercial tax accounting. Standard German VAT (19%) is added where applicable under statutory tax regulations.

What payment terms and deposit milestones do you require?
Pricing & Contracts

Fixed-price website and automation projects require a 50% deposit upon contract signing to lock your development sprint, and 50% upon final staging approval and production launch. Monthly retainers are invoiced on the 1st of each month with 14-day payment terms.

Who owns the code, design, and digital assets after launch?
Pricing & Contracts

You do. Upon receipt of full payment, all intellectual property rights, uncompiled source code, and design assets are transferred 100% to your company. You are never locked into proprietary agency hosting.

What is your policy on change requests (Scope Creep)?
Pricing & Contracts

Every proposal has an itemized scope list. If during development you wish to add new features or pages, we quote them transparently as an approved change request before coding. You are never hit with surprise charges.

How do you support DSGVO-aware delivery?
German DSGVO & Privacy

We minimize data collection, document third-party services and support self-hosted assets, privacy-aware analytics and appropriate consent controls. Final legal compliance depends on the client's processing activities and legal review.

Do I need a complex cookie consent banner on my website?
German DSGVO & Privacy

Not every website needs the same consent interface. The answer depends on the cookies, analytics, embeds and other data processing actually used, so the technical setup must be reviewed for each project.

Where are your client servers physically located?
German DSGVO & Privacy

Hosting is selected per project. European infrastructure can support a privacy strategy, but the complete data flow, subprocessors and contractual safeguards must also be reviewed.
