Transparent answers regarding processes, technology, pricing, and security.
How does a project at GlasBox work?
- Briefing (30 Min.): Free initial consultation. You describe the problem, we analyze the technical feasibility and create a fixed-price quote.
- Engineering (3–8 Weeks): Development with clean code. We work in sprints. You receive regular updates and speak directly with the developer.
- Launch & Handover: Go-live on Swiss servers. You receive training (e.g., for the CMS) and full code ownership rights.
What makes GlasBox different from a traditional agency?
- No Overhead: You speak directly with the software engineer. No account managers playing telephone.
- Tech-First: We build custom-tailored software, not pre-assembled templates.
- Focus: Swiss quality, scoped performance targets, and data-flow-aware FADP delivery.

The result: clear performance budgets, project-defined security controls and strong design freedom. Learn more about our Web Stack.
Can I update my texts and images myself after launch?
PWA (Web App) or Native App (iOS/Android) – what do I need?
- PWA (Progressive Web App): Often a strong fit for B2B dashboards and portals. It runs directly in the browser but can be saved to the homescreen (without the App Store). More cost-effective to develop.
- Native App: Required if you need deep hardware functions (Bluetooth, complex camera filters) or seek maximum visibility in the App Stores (Apple/Google).
What is the difference between Astro and Next.js in your stack?
We use Next.js for complex web applications and SaaS platforms (dashboards, portals), where dynamic user interactions, logins, and real-time data are the focus.
Do PWAs (Web Apps) also work on the iPhone?
Can you take over existing websites (e.g., WordPress)?
Can you guarantee a #1 ranking on Google?
What we commit to: A technically strong foundation for crawling, indexing, Core Web Vitals, structured data and decision-oriented content. SEO results depend on competition, authority, content quality and market demand.
We already have a website. Can you just handle the SEO?
Will I lose my Google ranking during a relaunch?
How long does it take to see SEO results?
Do you also write the SEO copy for our website?
What are Core Web Vitals (CWV) and why are they important?
Is our internal company data secure when using your AI?
- Company documents can be stored on Swiss infrastructure where this is part of the selected architecture.
- Provider data processing depends on the selected model, contract and project setup; zero-training options are reviewed where relevant.
- Critical data can be masked or excluded before it is sent to an LLM, depending on the risk profile.
