Websites for e-residency companies

When a company is run from abroad and has no office in Tallinn, the website carries most of the trust. An Estonian company is expected to state on its website its legal name exactly as it appears in the Estonian Business Register, its registry code and its address. If the company is VAT-registered, the VAT number is added as well (format: EE followed by nine digits).

We place these details in the footer and on the contact page, and repeat them as structured data (Schema.org Organization) so that search engines connect the site to the right legal entity. Before launch we compare everything with the public register entry. The most common mistake we see is the company name spelled one way on the site, another way on invoices and a third way in the register.

If you sell to consumers, the site also needs terms of sale, a returns procedure and a clear statement of whether prices include VAT. Your lawyer or service provider confirms the wording. Our job is to put these documents where they belong and make sure they are visible during checkout.

A .ee domain signals a link to Estonia. It fits when your customers are here, or when you want to underline that the company is registered in the EU. For a service aimed at an international audience, .com is usually the main domain, and .ee is registered as a second one and redirected, so that nobody else takes the name.

.ee domains are registered through registrars accredited by the Estonian Internet Foundation. The registrant can be an Estonian or a foreign company or private person, and the registrar verifies the registrant's identity. Register the domain in the name of the OÜ itself, not in the name of a developer or a friend. Transferring ownership later is a nuisance.

We help you pick a registrar, then set up DNS, the SSL certificate and company email on the domain (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), so that messages from your info@ address do not land in spam. All access details stay with you.

For a company with customers around the world, Stripe is the simplest route: cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay through one integration. The company opens its own Stripe account and passes Stripe's verification of the business and its representative. We connect the account to the site and run a payment through from start to finish.

Estonian bank links (Swedbank, SEB, LHV, Coop) start to matter when you sell to private buyers in Estonia, who are used to paying straight from their internet bank. They are added through a payment provider such as Montonio or Maksekeskus. The OÜ signs the agreement with the provider, and the provider confirms the exact terms.

Languages follow the target market. English is normally the main one, Estonian is added if you also have customers in Estonia, and other languages go in when there is a market behind them. The privacy policy describes the data the site really collects, and cookie consent is requested only for cookies the site can work without. We use cookieless analytics by default, so a simple site often needs no banner at all.

The whole project runs remotely. We schedule the kickoff call in your time zone, and after that most communication is written: tasks, designs and comments live in one shared workspace, and the current build is always available at a staging address. The project does not depend on our working hours overlapping.

STUDIO 1 OÜ issues the invoice to your Estonian OÜ. Prices are quoted without VAT, and Estonian VAT of 24% is added on the invoice. Larger projects can be paid in stages. How the invoice is booked and whether the input VAT can be deducted is for your accountant to confirm.

At the end you receive the source code, access to the domain and hosting, and a short guide to editing content. If you prefer not to look after the site yourself, ongoing support starts from 99 EUR per month.
