Is your website ready to be cited?

The free citability check tests 17 measurable criteria – no score, no sign-up, nothing stored. Every line says what was checked, why it matters and how to verify the finding yourself.

Verifiable, not merely claimed

Made to work

Design, technology and content work together here – guided by four principles that apply to every project.

01

Clearly structured

Content, navigation and design follow a logic that gets your visitors where they want to go without detours.

02

Technically sound

Lean code, fast load times, maintainable systems – built for everyday use, not for the moment.

03

Data-minimising & secure

Fonts and tools are served from this website, not from other people's servers – opening the page creates no connections to third parties. Hosting, server log files and forms still need a legal basis; it is set out in our privacy notice.

04

Accessible

We design to WCAG 2.2 – our own working standard – so more people can use your website with a screen reader, keyboard or other assistive technology.

Origins

From bread to the browser bar

FINK Brot was once exactly that: a family-run bakery in Vienna's 13th district, with roots in the 19th century. Registered as a GmbH since 1979, the company has reinvented itself several times – from craft bakery to retail business to today's agency for web design, SEO and digital marketing. What has stayed is the outlook and the entrepreneurial thinking: work honestly, stay close to the customer, plan for the long term.

Read the whole story
  1. 19th century The Fink bakery is founded in Vienna's 13th district, close to Schönbrunn.
  2. 1979 Registration as a GmbH – the commercial foundation we still work from today.
  3. 2012 A new direction: a specialist retail trade starts up alongside the bakehouse, with branches in several Austrian regions. The same company, a different trade – grown without paid advertising, on search engine optimisation and brand management.
  4. 2018 The retail business is handed over in an orderly way and the focus shifts to digital strategy.
  5. Today Web design, SEO and AEO, digital marketing plus our own software and projects – from Vienna.

Accessibility, hands-on

Test your colours

Two examples, one playground: check live how a colour combination scores on contrast – with the same formula testing tools use. Contrast is one criterion for legibility, not the only one.

  • Light grey on white

    2,5:1 insufficient contrast

    Looks subtle, but is simply unreadable for many.

  • White on our green

    7,3:1 meets AAA

    The colour pair of this website.

Calculated with the WCAG formula for relative luminance (unchanged from WCAG 2.0 to 2.2). Thresholds: 4.5:1 for text, 3:1 for large text and controls.

Selected projects

Three examples from practice – as different as the companies behind them, held to the same standard of clarity and technical quality.

Industry / B2B

Control monitor of a CO2 laser cutting system showing a cutting programme

LASACO – website relaunch for an industrial company

Industrial web design: clearly structured, technically sound, built for years of use.

Tourism

Snow Experts – Ski School & Holiday Flat

A tourism website for Mittersill: offers, booking enquiries and local visibility, all of a piece.

Retail

Answers instead of hype

Perspective on digital visibility, web development and AI – from real projects, not from the buzzword kit.

Frequently asked questions

What does FINK Brot do?
FINK Brot is a web design and SEO agency in Vienna. We build data-minimising websites and handle accessibility in code rather than through an overlay. We also improve visibility in search engines and AI assistants (SEO, AEO/GEO) and support local visibility, business photography as well as graphic design and illustration. We also develop our own software and projects.
Why is a web agency named after bread?
The name FINK Brot comes from the Fink bakery in Vienna's 13th district, which the company grew out of – Brot is German for bread. The roots reach back into the 19th century, and the GmbH has existed since 1979. Today we work digitally, and the name is a reminder of craft, origins and honest work.
What does a website or ongoing SEO support cost at FINK Brot?
Costs depend on the scope and goals of your project. After an initial call you receive a transparent quote with a clearly defined scope of work. Detailed answers on SEO costs are on our SEO Agency page. For a first assessment, you can get a free SEO check.
Who does FINK Brot work for?
FINK Brot works for small and medium-sized companies in Vienna and across Austria. Typical projects are new websites, ongoing SEO support and local visibility – in industry, tourism and retail, as the projects for LASACO, Snow Experts and Optik Maurer show.
What does AEO mean?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimisation: self-contained answers, clear structure and verifiable evidence. Which content AI systems prefer to cite is not documented; for AI Overviews, Google states explicitly that no special structured data is required. Whether a page is named is decided by the system alone.

Does my website have to be accessible?
The law covers certain services listed exhaustively in the act and provided to consumers. Whether a particular offering is covered is a legal question. The Austrian Accessibility Act (Barrierefreiheitsgesetz, BaFG) transposes the European Accessibility Act and has applied since 28 June 2025 to the products and services listed exhaustively in the act – for services, only where they are provided to consumers. Micro-enterprises are exempt for services if they employ fewer than ten people and reach no more than EUR 2 million in turnover or balance sheet total. Whether a specific offer is covered or exempt depends on its function and provider; our self-check is not legal advice.
The act itself names no technical standard: where harmonised standards are met, conformity is presumed, and that presumption is rebuttable. We work to WCAG 2.2 – our own working standard, not a statutory requirement. Regardless of a legal duty, accessible design helps more people; it is not a ranking factor.
