Website design Gliwice.
Surprising for a university of technology town.
Gliwice has the Silesian University of Technology, a special economic zone and one of the highest densities of tech companies in the region - yet across 328 measured local sites the median load time came out at 6,3 s. A city that trains software engineers has slower websites than many a farming municipality in this set.
Against the country as a whole that is 0.1 s worse than the national median, calculated from 37,213 sites. Among the 29 towns and counties I measured in the region, Gliwice ranks no. 14.

Businesses on the register
1,576
That many sole traders are based in Gliwice , according to the public register.
Have their own site
19.9%
That is 314 businesses. The other 1,262 have no address of their own on the internet.
What follows from that
Sites exist here, but hardly any of them clears Google's speed threshold - which means the ranking is still up for grabs without an advertising budget.
A technology city with untechnological websites.
Around the university and the Katowice Special Economic Zone a hinterland of engineering, IT and manufacturing firms has grown - demanding clients, used to proper tools. Yet the typical Gliwice business site does not stand out from the region: 79,6% of those measured miss Google's threshold, and 44 domains do not respond at all.
For local services - workshops, clinics, trades - that is good news. You are not competing with zone corporations here, but with 314 businesses whose sites exist but crawl. With 1,576 registered sole traders and 19,9% owning a domain, a fast site puts you at the front of local results from the first month.
328 businesses in Gliwice have their own website. Contrast is easy to achieve here: against a slow market, a properly built site looks like a different league.

I build sites in other places too. And across the country, remotely.
I am based in Nowa Kuźnica near Koziegłowy, so I get to Gliwice regularly and can drop in for a coffee. That said, distance changes nothing: measurement, design and launch all work remotely, and meeting up stays optional.
