Tartu's business community is growing, but many SMEs are working with outdated websites built years ago—or worse, never properly optimised for mobile or conversion. We see this constantly: solid companies in retail, services, light manufacturing, and tech operating with digital storefronts that don't match their actual quality. In Tartu, where most design agencies focus on high-budget startup projects (€4,000–€20,000+), there's a real gap. That's where Demerys comes in. We specialise in website redesigns for SMEs who want professional, modern results without the premium price tag.
Why Tartu SMEs Should Invest in Redesign
Your website is often the first impression potential customers form of your business. For Tartu companies competing regionally and online, a dated or poorly structured site directly costs you leads. A redesign isn't just cosmetic—it's about usability, mobile performance, and conversion.
The Tartu advantage: As a university city with a strong tech community, customers here expect clean, functional digital experiences. Your website needs to reflect that standard. Whether you're in e-commerce, professional services, hospitality, or B2B, a modern redesign signals credibility and investment in your business.
We've worked with Tartu-based companies across retail, consulting, and manufacturing who saw measurable improvements after redesign: faster load times, clearer navigation, mobile-ready layouts, and clearer calls-to-action. These aren't vanity metrics—they translate to more inquiries and sales.
How We Work Remotely with Tartu Clients
You don't need a designer sitting in your office. We manage the entire redesign process remotely, which means you get access to professional expertise without the overhead of hiring locally or relocating work.
Step 1: Discovery & audit — We review your current site, understand your business goals, and analyse your audience. This typically happens via video call and email. Takes 3–5 business days.
Step 2: Strategy & wireframes — We share a structure and layout plan for your new site. You review, give feedback, we iterate. All asynchronous—no time zone stress.
Step 3: Design — Full visual design in your brand colours and style. You see drafts, request changes, we refine.
Step 4: Development & content integration — We build the site, integrate your content, optimise for speed and mobile. You receive a staging link to preview.
Step 5: Launch & handover — Final reviews, we deploy to live, and we provide documentation so your team (or future developer) understands the site.
Throughout, we use Slack, email, and video calls. You're never left wondering what's happening. Transparency and regular updates are built into how we work.

Transparent Pricing
Website redesigns with Demerys start at €1,500 and go up to €3,500 for SMEs. The final price depends on a few factors:
- Site scope — A 5-page brochure site costs less than a 15-page site with e-commerce or membership features.
- Content complexity — If you already have copy and images ready, setup is faster. If we need to work with unorganised content, we budget extra time.
- Custom functionality — Basic contact forms and galleries are included. Advanced booking systems, integrations (Stripe, Zapier, CRM), or custom logic add time and cost.
- Design from scratch vs. template modification — A fully custom design costs more than refining a solid template for your brand.
We'll give you a detailed quote after the discovery phase. No surprises. No hidden fees. You know exactly what you're paying before we start design.
Timeline and Next Steps
A typical redesign takes 3–4 weeks from kickoff to launch. Smaller sites (5–7 pages, minimal custom features) can be faster. Larger or more complex projects may take 5–6 weeks.
To get started:
- Send us a message on WhatsApp or email with your website URL and a brief description of what you want to achieve.
- We'll schedule a 30-minute call (free, no obligation) to understand your needs.
- We'll send a proposal with scope, timeline, and pricing.
- Once you approve, we kick off design and development.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if our budget is tighter than €1,500?
We understand budget constraints. For businesses with very limited budgets, we can discuss a phased approach: a basic redesign now (essential pages and mobile-first design) with enhancements later. We'll be honest if a project is outside our scope—we'd rather refer you to a good alternative than oversell.
Can we work with you if we're outside Tartu?
Absolutely. We work with clients across Estonia, the Baltics, and beyond. Tartu clients are a focus because we understand the local business context, but our remote process works equally well for companies in Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius, or anywhere else in Europe.
What if we need ongoing support after launch?
Redesign projects don't include ongoing maintenance by default, but many clients ask about it. We offer optional maintenance packages (hourly support, monthly retainers) for updates, security patches, and minor fixes. We'll discuss this at the end of your project if you're interested.
