Software development in Zurich
Updated: 2026-10
Zurich has a large international business community, and many founders and teams work in English. We build custom software — web platforms, customer portals, internal tools and APIs — in English from the first workshop to the handover, with data held in Switzerland or the EU and code that your next developer can maintain.
Your region: Zurich
International teams in Zurich often find that local software providers default to German in workshops, documentation and contracts. That slows projects down and creates misunderstandings at exactly the point where requirements need to be precise. We work in English throughout when that is the team's working language, and in German when it is not.
Our default stack is Next.js and PostgreSQL with TypeScript, hosted in Swiss or EU regions, chosen for long-term maintainability rather than novelty. We are based in Zug, half an hour from Zurich, and work remotely in a weekly rhythm with on-site sessions for kick-off and key decisions.

Matching offers
Next.js web application at a fixed price
A bespoke web application on Next.js — fast, strong on SEO and maintainable, with a clearly bounded feature set and a binding fixed price. The result is a production-ready application without the usual cost surprises of open-ended hourly billing.
API & system integration
A clean integration connects your systems and third-party services so that data flows reliably — with idempotent processing, error handling and monitoring. The result is a connection that holds even when a target system goes down or an event arrives twice.
Legacy modernisation
Legacy modernisation makes grown software maintainable and future-proof again — step by step rather than in a risky big bang. The result is a system that can evolve without halting operations or rebuilding everything at once.
Fixed-price MVP development
Fixed-price MVP development delivers a clearly scoped, working product at a price defined up front — on a modern, EU-hosted stack. Not an open-ended hours bucket, but a defined scope with a clear result.
More regions
Software development for Geneva
Geneva is home to many international organisations, NGOs, foundations and trading companies whose working language is English. We build custom software for them — secure portals, case and grant management tools, internal applications — in English, with data held in Switzerland or the EU. To be clear from the start: we work in English and German, not in French.
Software development in Zug
Zug is our home base and one of Switzerland's most international business locations. We build custom software for holding companies, trading firms, fintechs and service providers based here — in English when that is your working language, with workshops in person in Zug and data hosted in Switzerland.
Software development in Basel
Basel's life sciences ecosystem works largely in English, and its software needs are specific: capturing data where it is generated, sharing it securely with partners, and documenting systems for environments where traceability matters. We build focused applications for these needs, in English, with honest clarity about which validation steps remain with you.
Web development in Zurich
Companies in Zurich often need a website that works in English and German, for an international audience and for local clients. We build bilingual websites where each language version is genuinely written for its audience, correctly linked for search engines, and structured so that both Google and AI assistants can cite it.
