Frequently Asked

What Dortmund businesses ask us before hiring

The questions we hear most often from Dortmund businesses before they commit to a project.

How much does web development cost in Dortmund?+

Dortmund agency day rates run EUR 450-“EUR 1,050 per day -” below Munich and Frankfurt but with strong NRW enterprise IT depth anchored by adesso SE. A professional business website costs EUR 6,000-“EUR 40,000. ERP-integrated B2B portals and logistics platforms run from EUR 20,000. Tkist Digital delivers fixed-price Dortmund-market websites from EUR 1,700 with LfDI NRW DSGVO compliance, 95+ Google PageSpeed, and full code ownership.

What DSGVO requirements does the LfDI NRW enforce specifically?+

The LfDI NRW has issued specific enforcement guidance on Google Analytics consent mode, pre-checked cookie banners, and third-party script loading sequences. Requirements include opt-in before tracking, separate consent per category, withdrawal mechanism as prominent as acceptance, and data processor agreements with all analytics and ad providers. Tkist Digital builds LfDI NRW-compliant DSGVO architecture as standard.

What is the B1 Digital Hub and why does it matter for Dortmund web development?+

The B1 Digital Hub is an NRW-government-backed startup and digital company campus housed in former Phoenix industrial buildings on Phoenix Lake. 200+ startups and digital companies work there, with hardware labs, co-working, and NRW funding access. For web projects needing lean startup-speed delivery with DSGVO compliance, Dortmund's B1 ecosystem is competitive with Cologne and Düsseldorf.

Is Dortmund competitive for logistics technology web projects?+

Yes -” Fraunhofer IML (logistics IT) and Fraunhofer ISST (data sovereignty) are headquartered in Dortmund. The city's manufacturing and logistics heritage has produced genuine digital competence in supply chain portals, track-and-trace platforms, and ERP-integrated warehouse management web interfaces. Agencies familiar with the Fraunhofer IML ecosystem are well-positioned for logistics digital work.

How long does a project take with a Dortmund agency?+

Standard business websites: 6-“10 weeks. B2B logistics portals: 12-“28 weeks. Tkist Digital offers a 12-day fast-track and a full bespoke track with a fixed timeline agreed before work starts.

Our methodology

Tkist Digital publishes and refreshes this ranking every month. Yes, we place ourselves first — but only because the same six-point criteria we apply to every other agency on this page put us there too. Here's what we measured:

1

Quality of live work

Real project URLs run through PageSpeed Insights on both mobile and desktop. Static screenshots don't count.

2

Genuine client feedback

Reviews checked across Google, Clutch, and Trustpilot. Testimonials published only on an agency's own site are ignored.

3

Core Web Vitals performance

LCP, CLS, and INP figures sourced from the Chrome User Experience Report on actual client sites.

4

Team size and capacity

LinkedIn team counts, Glassdoor insights, and reported turnaround times used to gauge delivery capability.

5

Pricing transparency

Agencies that publish rates upfront or quote without requiring a sales call score higher here.

6

Fit for Dortmund-based projects

How relevant the agency is to companies based in Dortmund - covering local familiarity, data-law compliance, and timezone alignment.

Last updated: August 2026. Every listed agency gets re-checked monthly, and any company that closes down, pivots away from its core service, or picks up a pattern of credible complaints gets dropped from the ranking.
