# Software development in Graz, Austria — de Zwart > Software studio in Graz, Austria: bespoke websites, web apps, custom business software, AI solutions and blockchain applications. *de Zwart · Graz, AT* ## Services ### Websites & web apps Bespoke company websites, customer portals, online shops and web applications — no page builder, accessible, and measurably fast. ### Custom software Business software built around your process: automation, replacing spreadsheet islands, and integrating the systems you already run. ### AI solutions Classification, document extraction, assistants over your own data and forecasting — entirely without the cloud, on your own hardware, if required. ### Crypto & blockchain Smart contracts, token issuance and migration, staking and rewards, and wallet integration including the interface and running it. ## How an engagement runs 1. **You tell us what is not working.** A free first conversation. No specification document needed — a description of the problem is enough. 2. **We build in steps you can see.** Something usable every few weeks, rather than months of silence. 3. **Then it is yours.** You receive the source code and documentation and may take them to any other developer. ## Frequently asked questions ### What does a website or a piece of custom software cost? We do not publish flat prices, because for bespoke software they would always be wrong: a single campaign page and a customer portal with role-based permissions have nothing in common. What we do instead: a free first conversation to establish scope, then a written quote with clearly separated line items. If it turns out that an off-the-shelf product solves your problem more cheaply, we will tell you so. ### How long does a project take? A manageable company website is usually a matter of weeks; a web app or custom software, a matter of months. More important than the total is that you have something usable in hand every few weeks — that way you can steer early, instead of discovering at the end that you needed something else. ### Do you only work in Graz, or further afield? We are based in Graz and happy to meet in person across Styria. Otherwise the work is remote, which works just as well across Austria, in Germany and in Switzerland. Consulting and project delivery are available in German and in English. ### Why custom software rather than an existing product? A standard product is cheaper for exactly as long as your process happens to fit it. The moment you start bending your process to the software, buying add-on modules, or plugging the gaps with spreadsheets, you pay the difference anyway — just spread out and permanently. Custom software pays off where your process is a competitive advantage, and therefore nobody should be flattening it. ### Do we actually need AI, or is it just a trend? Usually you do not, and we will say so. AI pays off where people make many similar decisions — sorting mail, extracting documents, answering recurring questions, forecasting demand. Where the rules are exact, ordinary software is cheaper, faster and easier to account for. The classifier further up this page is an example of the small, cheap kind: no language model, no cloud service, a few kilobytes, and it runs in your browser. ### Do we own the source code at the end? Yes. You get the source code and the documentation, and you can take them to any other developer. We do not build anything that chains you to us — no obfuscation trick, no licence file, no exclusive hosting. ### Who looks after the software after launch? We do, if you want that: maintenance, updates, monitoring and further development. Equally, you can take it in-house or hand it to someone else — which is why we write code a stranger's team can read, and document it accordingly. ### Will you take over an existing project? Yes, and it is a common case: the original developer is gone, nobody dares touch the code, and something still has to change. We look at what exists, tell you honestly whether repairing or rebuilding adds up, and then take over running it. ## Contact - Email: - German and English - This page in German: https://dezwart.at/ ## More - [llms.txt](https://dezwart.at/llms.txt) · [llms-full.txt](https://dezwart.at/llms-full.txt) - [Imprint](https://dezwart.at/en/imprint/) - [Privacy](https://dezwart.at/en/privacy/) *https://dezwart.at/en/*
