Marsa

You deal with one named contact at MDEPARTMENT from the first conversation to launch and beyond. We have no office in Malta; the work happens remotely, through video calls, a shared project board and a test environment where you review each stage. The project itself runs in English or German. Further languages, for example Italian or French for buyers and yacht owners, are planned into the site structure from the start, and we agree early on who provides the translations. As there is no time difference between Malta and Germany, calls fit into ordinary office hours. If you would like a workshop in person, for instance with your operations and sales teams in one room, we come to Marsa on request.

Every project receives a fixed price, agreed after a free initial call in which we clarify scope and goals. Websites start at €3,000; custom software and web applications start at €15,000. For firms in Marsa, the final figure usually depends on three things: how many languages the site needs; how much technical content has to be structured, such as service descriptions for vessels or product data sheets; and whether existing systems must be connected, for instance an ERP or a scheduling tool for repair slots. Larger undertakings can be split into phases, each with its own fixed price. Invoices are issued in euros by KRUPKA Concept GmbH; between VAT-registered businesses in the EU, the reverse-charge mechanism normally applies.

From concept to launch, a focused company website usually takes four to eight weeks. Each additional language adds time for translation and review, and we build that into the schedule before work begins. For a portal handling cargo or repair enquiries with a clearly defined scope, eight to twelve weeks is typical. Larger systems that connect sales, production and dispatch are delivered in stages, so a first module is already in use while the next is being built. What slows a project down most often is not development but content and approvals: technical data, photos of the facilities and sign-off from people who spend their day on the quay or the shop floor.

Yes, and the same shop can serve trade buyers and private customers. For producers of plastics, food and beverages or automotive parts, a B2B area with customer-specific prices, minimum order quantities and one-click reordering often matters more than a classic storefront. Where possible, we connect the shop to your stock or ERP data so that availability is accurate. For sales to consumers in other EU countries, the shop can apply the VAT rate of each destination; your tax adviser confirms when this is required and whether to register under the One-Stop Shop scheme. Since June 2025, the European Accessibility Act has applied to many consumer-facing online shops, so we build to WCAG 2.1 AA. Payment providers, shipping rules and multilingual product data are planned from the first workshop.
