Web design for Duisburg — where I have worked longest
Duisburg is the city most of my client projects come from. Two of the three references on this site are based here — a heating business and a master electrical contractor.
Was Betriebe in Duisburg brauchen
With around half a million residents, Duisburg is the largest city in this catchment area and economically quite unlike the Bergisches Land: the port is the largest inland port in the world, and around it sits a dense network of logistics, steel processing and suppliers. Alongside that are conventional trades in districts that have their own centres and their own customers — Rheinhausen, Hamborn and Meiderich work like independent towns. Many of these businesses have grown over decades and live on regulars; online, that increasingly fails to carry them.
- Trades with customers in their own district
- Logistics, suppliers and technical services around the port
- Practices, law firms and service providers in the district centres
What matters for whom in Duisburg
Trades with regular customers
Exactly the case I have had here twice: the business runs, the reputation is fine, the website is ten years old and unusable on a phone. That can be caught up on with manageable effort — at Heizung-TS from six seconds of load time to just over one.
Logistics and port economy
Here business customers search by service and capacity, not by place name. That needs one page per service with the details that decide an enquiry — and a contact route that arrives outside office hours too.
Businesses in the district centres
Locals think of Rheinhausen, Hamborn and Meiderich as separate places. If you work there, name the district — in a city this size that is the far less contested route.
Practices and service providers
Opening hours, directions, parking. Given the distances within Duisburg, directions are a real question, not a formality.
In practice I work across the whole of Duisburg — including Duisburg-Mitte, Neudorf, Rheinhausen, Hamborn, Meiderich, Homberg, Ruhrort, Huckingen, Buchholz and Walsum.
Duisburg is large and has its own agencies — for the bare city name there is little to win. But this is where I have the most experience and two references you can look at. For district and trade searches that is a good starting position.

Not sure what fits?
Describe briefly what you have in mind. You get an honest assessment — including when something smaller does the job.
Heizung-TS
Plumbing and heating service
The old site took six seconds to load. On a phone, people left before anything appeared at all.
Rebuilt, with automated enquiry handling behind the scenes. The site now shows up in just over a second.
This project actually sits in Duisburg — as does ELEKTRO MA. Of all the locations, this is the only one with two references right on the doorstep.
How you get found in Duisburg
With half a million residents the district decides, not the city. Everything else follows from that.
- 01
Target the district
Electrician Duisburg is a race against the whole city, electrician Rheinhausen against a handful. Given the distances inside Duisburg nobody calls across town anyway — the site should reflect that.
- 02
Complete the Google business profile
The profile is the single strongest factor for map visibility, ahead of the website. Correct primary category, individual services, real photos of the business. For trades, workshop images convince more than any text.
- 03
Take load time seriously
A concrete example from Duisburg: at Heizung-TS load time was six seconds — on a phone people left before anything appeared. Afterwards, just over one second. That is not a detail, it is the difference between a call and the back button.
- 04
Collect reviews steadily
With strong competition the review record counts for more. The figure cited for map visibility is 25 to 30 Google reviews — more important than quantity is that new ones keep arriving.
Fragen zu Duisburg
You have worked here — for whom?
For Heizung-TS, a plumbing and heating business, and for ELEKTRO MA, a master electrical contractor. Both sites are live; you can look at them and, if in doubt, ask the businesses themselves.
Duisburg is further away than your other locations — is that a problem?
Not in practice. Most of the coordination runs over the phone and screen sharing anyway. For the kick-off and the photos I come by; that is 35 minutes.
What did the new site achieve for Heizung-TS?
Load time is the measurable part: from six seconds to just over one. On top of that, enquiry handling now runs automatically in the background. The site is live — compare it with what you usually see.
