Where is ticinoWEB located and how can I contact you?

The first meeting is free and without obligation: at our office in Locarno, by phone or via video.

How does the first contact and free consultation work?

You write to us using the form on the Contact page, describing in a few lines what you have in mind: it takes two minutes, you don’t need to have everything clear.

A team member reads the request and replies in the way you prefer. Then we provide a free consultation, at our office in Locarno, by phone or via video, and we send you a clear proposal.

Websites and e‑commerce

Site types, content management, languages, Google and AI search, online sales.

What types of website does ticinoWEB create?

ticinoWEB creates three types of site: One-Page, Premium Business and eCommerce.

  • One-Page: a single, fast and tidy page, to clearly present activities, services and contacts.
  • Premium Business: a complete site, with structure, content and features built around services, identity and commercial goals.
  • eCommerce: a professional and easy‑to‑manage online store, from product discovery to order.

For details see Web Sites.

How much does a website cost?

The price depends on the type of site and the requested features: a One-Page site, a business site and an e‑commerce have different costs, and there is no single price valid for everyone.

After the free, no‑obligation consultation you receive a clear proposal with the cost of your project. Request it from the Contact page.

Can I edit the content of my site myself?

Yes: ticinoWEB WordPress sites are managed from the ticinoWEB CMS panel, designed for non‑technical users. From there you can update services, contacts, images, galleries, FAQs and texts without touching the code.

If you prefer not to handle it, our support service takes care of it.

Are ticinoWEB sites available in multiple languages?

Yes, ticinoWEB creates multilingual sites in Italian, English, French and German. This site, for example, is available in all four languages.

Translations are managed with the tW Translate Plus plugin, developed by ticinoWEB.

Will the site be found on Google and AI‑based search engines?

Yes: every ticinoWEB site is built with the foundations to be discovered, by Google and AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.

They include optimized tags and descriptions, Schema.org structured data, sitemap, secure HTTPS connection, FAQ pages with structured data and HTML‑readable texts for search engines. To rank above the competition you can add Google campaigns and social media management.

Can I sell online with my site?

Yes, with a ticinoWEB eCommerce site: catalog, cart, orders and online payment methods configured according to your project.

The store can also connect to Odoo to manage inventory, orders and invoicing in a single system. See the eCommerce page.

Odoo and management software

Corporate management software Odoo and FileMaker, custom modules and integration with the site.

What is Odoo and what is it used for in a company?

Odoo is a modular business management (ERP software) system that brings together activities such as CRM, sales, quotes, invoicing, accounting and inventory in a single system.

ticinoWEB installs it, customizes it to the company’s processes and connects it to the website, so the site and the ERP work in the same system. More information on the page Odoo.

Does ticinoWEB develop custom Odoo modules?

Yes, ticinoWEB develops custom Odoo modules when standard features are not enough: for example a management system for a workshop, for a store with services and e‑commerce, or tools with artificial intelligence to control offers.

Some cases are presented on the page References → Management.

Do you also work with other management systems, like FileMaker?

Yes: besides Odoo, ticinoWEB develops and supports management systems and business software with FileMaker.

If you already have a system, we can evaluate its evolution or migration together. Tell us about your situation.

Yes, ticinoWEB designs and develops full apps for iPhone and Android, from user experience to integration with the company’s systems, payments and notifications.

What is AlbA: Health Coach?

AlbA: Health Coach is an app for iPhone and Android developed by ticinoWEB: a health coach with artificial intelligence that uses data from Apple Health or Health Connect, the user’s diary and tests.

The data stays on the phone, in an encrypted database, and no subscription is required. It is not a medical device and does not replace a doctor. Read the presentation article.
