What Ghosted does

Superswitch, legally operated as the Italian sole proprietorship "Switch d. Gernot Weithofer," is a founder-owned web development agency headquartered in Terlan (South Tyrol), Italy. Founded circa 1997–1998 and operated continuously by Gernot Weithofer, the firm has accumulated claims of 27+ years of experience, 5M+ lines of code delivered, and 150+ server/cluster environments managed over its lifetime.

The agency's offering is organized around six service pillars: (1) full-stack Website Entwicklung, ranging from landing pages to complex web applications with responsive design, e-commerce integration, and SEO; (2) Deployment, covering shared hosting through cloud and dedicated server provisioning; (3) native App Entwicklung for iOS and Android with backend and store publication; (4) Debugging, including post-hack incident restoration with optional emergency availability; (5) Prototyping for MVP construction aimed at collecting user feedback; and (6) dedicated MVP + Proof-of-Concept support targeted at the startup ecosystem. The technology stack is conventional and not disclosed in detail; there is no documented API, SDK, mobile app product, or AI/ML capability.

The business model is project-based services sold to small and medium businesses, with the public portfolio limited to three named local clients — Casa de Mezcal (restaurant), Hannes Mair (butcher), and BB Rent (car rental) — supplemented by a newer startup-focused MVP/PoC offering. The company is privately held, bootstrapped, and founder-operated with no external investors, no disclosed headcount, no public pricing, and no app store presence; it serves clients primarily in Italy and German-speaking markets.
