NO SIDE STORY

What NO SIDE STORY does

NO SIDE STORY (legal entity NO S!DE STORY GmbH) is a privately held, Bern-based Swiss web agency serving primarily German-speaking Swiss small and medium-sized enterprises with end-to-end digital services. The firm is operated by three co-founders—Fabienne Mast (Macro Specialist), Nico von Niederhäusern (Micro Specialist), and Christian Stampfli (Pixel Specialist)—with no additional employees disclosed. Its service portfolio spans consulting and conception, user-centered design (Digital Creation), WordPress-based web development, online shop builds, ongoing maintenance (Level-Up), corporate consulting, project management, and hosting, organized around a repeating competency cycle of listen, advise, conceptualize, implement, evaluate, and adapt.

The agency's core technology is WordPress Core with modular architecture for custom digital solutions; no proprietary platform or AI capabilities are disclosed. Standard third-party integrations include MailChimp for newsletters, Google Maps and YouTube embeds, and Google Invisible reCAPTCHA for bot protection. Hosting is delivered via a core partnership with Swiss provider Cyon, with guaranteed compatibility in NOSS's standard terms and conditions.

Revenue is generated through three streams: project-based development fees (one-time, fixed quote or CHF 175/hour), recurring annual hosting contracts with auto-renewal and 90-day cancellation notice, and professional services for consulting and project management at the same hourly rate. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with free non-binding initial consultations, formal quotes valid for 30 days with a ±15% price tolerance, and direct client engagement across the regional Swiss market. There is no evidence of external funding, acquisitions, geographic expansion, or named enterprise customers.
