An honest website for your local store
We build professional websites, apps, online shops and custom systems — with the quality of big agencies but without their overhead. Specialised in Germany's small and medium businesses.
In short
A lean website for your local store (1–3 pages) with a map, opening hours and a properly maintained Google Business profile starts at €499 net (fixed price) at Rhein Code — so local customers find you, not the competition.
Your local store lives on walk-in and regular customers — but even they google you before heading out. They want to know: are you open today, where exactly are you, and do you stock what I'm after? An honest website for your local store answers these questions without making big promises.
You don't necessarily need an online shop with shipping and a warehouse. Often a clear, fast site is enough — showing who you are, what you carry and when you're there — and reliably bringing the customer to your door. We build exactly that, without pushing features you'll never use.
Rhein Code is a digital studio based in Düsseldorf. You get a website for your store from just 499 € net, GDPR- and BFSG-compliant, on EU servers, with no lock-in. And you talk directly to the developer — no empty promises, no sales team upselling you more than you need.
Typical challenges
- You don't need an online shop — just a digital storefront

What we actually build
- 1–3 pages: who we are, what we sell, how to find us

Local Stores
What your website or solution delivers
Opening hours that are correct
Up-to-date hours shown prominently and instantly on mobile, including holidays and special times. Nothing annoys customers more than a locked door when the site said open.
Location & directions
Map, address and parking notes so the customer finds you straight away. Connected to Google Maps and your business profile for one-tap navigation.
Range & shop window online
You show what you carry — brands, categories or selected products — without a full webshop. The customer knows in advance that the trip is worth it.
Reserve & collect
If you want it, customers can enquire about an item or reserve it for pickup. That links online visibility with the in-store sale, with no shipping logistics.
Local Google visibility
We connect the site to your Google Business Profile and aim local SEO at your area. So you're found for searches like store plus neighbourhood when the customer is looking.
Reviews & trust
Real Google reviews and a few good photos of the store build trust. We embed them cleanly, with no invented stars or fantasy numbers.
Mobile & fast
Most customers check you on a phone while out, often just before visiting. The site loads fast and puts the essentials — open, where, what — right at the top.
Multilingual on request
German, English and Arabic in-house, fitting a mixed neighbourhood. So customers whose German isn't yet confident feel welcome too.
In practice
Real-world examples
The store with outdated hours online
A shop whose online hours are stale, so customers turn up to a locked door. A site with correct hours and holidays prevents exactly that frustration.
The retailer no one finds online
A specialist shop with loyal regulars but no Google visibility. A lean site plus business profile captures the walk-in traffic that searches first.
The store that doesn't want shipping
A shop that wants to sell in person but not pack parcels. Reserve-and-collect links online visibility with the in-store sale, without logistics.
The store in a mixed neighbourhood
A shop in an area with many languages. A site in German, English and Arabic makes clear that everyone is welcome.
