How does daily billing work?

Users cost 15 EUR per month. All persons listed under 'Active Persons' are counted as users. If persons are added or deactivated in the middle of the month, MOCO calculates proportionally on a daily basis. For this reason, the number of users or the amount on the invoice may be odd.

Are the costs dependent on user roles?

The costs are independent of the functions used. Access rights can be reduced or expanded at any time.

Cost control for freelancers / externals?

Users can be deactivated at any time. For example, freelancers can be activated only during working hours and MOCO will only calculate this activated time.

How does support work at MOCO?

MOCO is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) with > 40'000 users without a contract. As a product team, we personally take care of all your concerns. This has proven itself for the following reasons: Ensuring the best possible service quality. Problems and suggestions come directly to us (further development closely based on general needs). The subscription costs can be kept low for everyone. All users can contact us via the in-app service at the bottom right in MOCO. We respond promptly.

Is there an online demo?

Yes. You can test MOCO for 30 days free of charge. The demo account can be converted into a paid account at any time.

Are training sessions possible?

Yes. On request, MOCO offers individual online sessions.

Where can I find a kind of "manual"?

On the website under » Features all areas and topics are illustrated and described.

Can I also subscribe without a credit card?

Yes, MOCO can also be subscribed via SEPA direct debit. The option is only available in EURO countries. Attention: In case of withdrawal, penalty fees are incurred, which we pass on.

Do I have access to backups?

Backups are created twice a day. However, access to the backup is only possible with a Private Cloud (booking of your own server instance). Each account can regularly use the export options and if very important data has been deleted by a user by mistake, we can restore an earlier state from the backups on request. » More information on security & operation

Will I be informed about further development (included in the subscription)?

In the app, always click on the bell in the top right corner when it turns red! In addition, we send an overview of the latest updates to the account holder 4 times a year.

Can I manage two companies within one account?

If the companies are legally separate or if you need a separate invoice number range and separate reports, it is recommended to create one account per company. If persons are registered with the same e-mail address, they can simply switch between the accounts at the top right (globe symbol) .

Where can I access my subscription invoices?

All invoices are available for download in the settings under 'Subscription'. If you also provide an e-mail address for the invoice address, MOCO will automatically send the invoice to this e-mail address as well.

Creating Client Websites: 3 Tips for More Sustainable Web Development.

A guest post by our friends at mittwald

Let's start with an inconvenient truth: Every time a website is accessed, CO2 is generated. From server generation to internet transmission and display on the device, there are many factors involved. Now for the good news: As a web developer, you can influence the CO2 emissions produced per visit to your websites. Here, we reveal 3 things you can implement in your projects right away. A nice side effect: All optimizations also enhance your website's performance.

1. Optimize Images and Videos

The larger the data being sent, the more energy is consumed. Compressing images and videos is the first logical step. Photos should be optimized responsively. If only a 400px image can be displayed due to the viewport width, it should be stored on the server as an alternative to a full-resolution image. Use vector graphics like SVGs, which generally have a very small file size but are freely scalable. Note: Not every image can be arbitrarily converted into a vector graphic. Therefore, upload images at the correct scale from the start, rather than relying on CSS.

When embedding videos, check if the number of streamed files can be reduced. Remove autoplay and keep video content short.

Plugin and extension tips for automatic scaling and compression of images:

WordPress: Insanity

TYPO3: Image Optimizer

2. Use Less JavaScript

JavaScript affects website efficiency in two ways: it adds file weight to the page and increases processing load on the user's device. This is more significant for JS than other file types. JavaScript should only be loaded on pages where it is truly needed. Often, scripts required only on the homepage are loaded on all subpages. Through SERP, users can directly access the desired subpage, avoiding unnecessary data. In WordPress, for example, wp_register_script or wp_enqueue_script should be wrapped in an if(is_home()) {...} condition.

Once integrated, tracking codes can become permanent companions of every website call. It's always worth checking whether the currently used tracking services are truly needed. In some cases, they can be omitted, or configured to be active only in certain page areas.

Plugin tip for WordPress:

Lightweight Statistics: Usually sufficient for small projects

Koko Analytics: Detailed statistics without external providers

3. Utilize Browser Caching

By implementing effective browser caching rules, the amount of data transferred for returning visitors can be significantly reduced. It is particularly useful for media like images and videos, as well as CSS/JavaScript and fonts. The cache duration should be set as long as possible if no changes to the affected files are anticipated. Especially for images, a very long period can be set.

Browser caching can be better controlled via GET parameters. You can append the script or plugin version to the script path. This allows a high cache TTL to be specified even for files that change frequently or need immediate updates.

Example:
Instead of loading the script with index.js, use index.js?v=1.2.0. In WordPress registration, you can simply specify a version. It can be the plugin version, a custom script version, or just the edit timestamp of the file.
