The Reality

75%

of your credibility is decided on screen.

The First Impression

An opinion forms in under a second. Before anyone calls, emails, or reaches out, your digital presence is already being sized up. 9 out of 10 people will not trust a business whose website fails to convince.

Invisible Losses

90% of your clients research online before they reach out. If your business does not show up or does not hold up, you effectively do not exist to them. And increasingly, businesses are being recommended by AI systems like ChatGPT. If you are not part of that picture, referrals quietly go elsewhere.

Talent is Watching

It's not just clients looking online. Applicants, potential employees, and partners form their first impression through your website. An outdated presence doesn't just cost you business — it costs you the best people.

The people who never call, the applicants who never apply, the referrals that quietly go elsewhere - those are the most expensive losses.Because you never see them.

Background

Seethaler Studio

I'm Maximilian Seethaler — most people call me Max.

I build digital presences and brands that create clarity, make quality visible, and make the next conversation easier.

My background is in projects where impact, language, and perception were never secondary. That thinking now shapes every site I create: clearer, calmer, and closer to what people actually register in a first impression.

Previous work with brands including

and 300+ additional projects across brand, media, and digital.

About the Studio

Behind the Scenes

Seethaler Studio is built on the belief that effective design does not need to be louder. It works when proportion, language, typography, and technology align in a way that feels natural.

I work with businesses whose quality often feels undervalued online. What matters to me is not only whether something looks good, but whether it feels right: clear, calm, credible, and easy to use.

Every project that leaves the studio follows a high standard in both craft and execution. Typography, content, privacy, accessibility, and performance work together. Not as an extra, but as the foundation.

Collaboration

Direct to work with. Calm in the result.

No agency machine. No handoffs. No unnecessary review loops. Collaboration begins with a question, not a brief: what actually needs to be solved here? The result often looks different from what was first imagined — and holds together because of it.

01

Direct collaboration

You work directly with me. No account managers, no handoffs, and no sense that someone first has to get up to speed on your business.

02

Design with restraint

The work does not become louder than it needs to be. It becomes clearer, calmer, and better aligned with your business. That is what gives it weight.

03

Technically maintained

Hosting, updates, security, and minor technical fixes are included in the first year. The site does not just launch cleanly. It stays that way.

Work

From the
Studio

A few reflections from past projects.

From a past project

Max was a life saver in this project. The service was far beyond our expectations.

I have worked with him multiple times, and it is always a pleasure. He delivers quickly and the quality is on point. Further a very friendly communication throughout the process.

Unfassbar gut, mit welcher Präzision unsere Ansprüche getroffen wurden.

Ongoing Care

The first year of technical maintenance is already included.
After that, support continues based on your project scope — from €79/mo.

Beyond the website project

Strategic Partnership

For companies where the presence isn't the problem — the positioning behind it is.

Some companies don't need a new website. They need clarity on how they want to be perceived — and then a presence that delivers on it. Positioning, language, brand development, sales materials, content strategy and digital presence as one piece.

On a monthly basis or as a project.

Process

A clear path
to your new site

The process is lean and designed to keep friction low. You do not have to work your way through structure, copy, or technology on your own — I lead the project from the first conversation through launch.

01

Discovery

We define what the site needs to do, what it does not need to do, and what level of execution fits the business.

02

Structure & Design

I develop the direction for structure, design, and content, then translate it into a presence with restraint.

03

Refinement

You give feedback. I work through the important details and bring the site into its clearest form.

04

Launch

The site goes live cleanly and is handed off in a way that keeps it stable in day-to-day use.

FAQ

The essentials, upfront.

Next Step

If your website should do your work more justice, let's talk.

A short conversation to figure out what makes sense online, what does not, and whether there is a fit. No pitch deck. No pressure. Just a clear point of view.
