Futureweb

What Futureweb does

Futureweb GmbH is a privately held Austrian online agency (Online-Agentur) headquartered in St. Johann in Tirol, founded in 2021 and reporting 11–50 employees. It serves small and medium-sized businesses in the Tyrol region across verticals spanning tourism and hospitality, retail and trades, real estate, healthcare, associations, and local government, and reports a referenceable portfolio of more than 100 client websites. The company is 100% owned by three managing directors: Christian Hirzinger (35%), Patrick Neuner (35%), and Andreas Schnederle-Wagner (30%), each holding dual Geschäftsführer and shareholder roles.

The company's core platform is its "Tiroler Homepage" website package — responsive web design implemented in HTML5 and CSS3 — combined with web hosting delivered on HPE Powerserver infrastructure with virtualization and redundant SAN storage. Two proprietary software assets distinguish the offering: the Portal Manager, a location marketing platform that publishes and synchronizes business location data across multiple internet directory partners (Verzeichnispartner); and Cookie Crawler, an automated scanner that identifies cookies on customer websites to support EU Cookie Directive compliance. Supporting services include WordPress hosting, domain registration via nic.at, virtual servers, SSL certificates, 3D photography and drone imagery, newsletter management, PageSpeed optimization, and remote support via TeamViewer.

Futureweb monetizes through a blended model: recurring subscription revenue from web hosting, domains, SSL, and Portal Manager sits alongside one-time project fees for website design, custom programming, photography, and consulting, billed at hourly or fixed project rates with premium pricing outside business hours. The go-to-market is sales-led and contact-driven, with inbound via the website contact form, phone ([email protected]), and direct visits to the Innsbruckerstraße office; channel presence is limited to a Facebook page, an Instagram page, and a LinkedIn company page. Distribution is single-country domestic, targeting SMBs exclusively within Austria, with no disclosed geographic expansion, external funding, or acquisition activity in the source material.
