Web development for businesses
We do two things really well: building websites and developing custom software.
Why businesses work with us
Built to last
We don't build throwaway solutions. Our code is documented, maintainable and extensible – still solid three years from now.
Faster with AI support
We use AI-assisted development for more efficient delivery. That saves time and costs – without compromising quality.
One point of contact
Website today, customer portal tomorrow, API integration next year. You keep one partner who knows your system.
Performance, SEO & GEO built in
Core Web Vitals, technical SEO and structured data for AI search are part of our web development by default – no extra briefing needed.
Daniel Nilges
I've been building websites and software for businesses for over 20 years, from a first homepage to large enterprise projects. What matters to me is that your software is still maintainable three years from now, and that someone else can find their way around it.

White-label web development for agencies
Short on developers for a client project? We work as a white-label partner under your name. Your client talks to you, we deliver in the background.
More for agenciesWhat our clients say
Straight from our Google Business Profile – quoted verbatim, not filtered by star rating.
How these reviews get here
The reviews come from our Google Business Profile. We pull them through Google's interface from time to time and store them unchanged in this page, rather than querying them on every visit. We do not write the wording ourselves and we do not change it; long texts are shortened for display, with a link to the full review on Google.
Once a project is finished we ask clients for a review. There is nothing in return – no discount, no voucher, no prize draw – and we ask regardless of how happy someone was.
We do not select by star rating. Which individual reviews Google hands over is Google's choice. The average and the total above are the profile's figures as of October 1, 2026 and cover every review, including the ones not shown here.
Whether the reviewers really were our clients we do not verify ourselves – we cannot. Google states that it acts against fake reviews; we have no influence on that.
Frequently asked questions
What does Codeäffchen do?
We develop websites and custom software for businesses. From WordPress websites to complex web applications with Laravel.
What is the difference between web design and web development?
Web design defines how a website looks and how it is used: layout, colours, type, user guidance. Web development builds it technically, along with everything that runs behind it: features, forms, shops, integrations, login areas. With us you get both from one team, from WordPress websites to custom web applications with Laravel.
Who do you work with?
With mid-sized businesses that need a professional website or custom software. And with agencies as a white-label partner.
Where are you based?
We work remotely from Germany. Communication happens via video calls, email and project management tools.
How long does a typical project take?
Depending on scope, 4 to 12 weeks. A straightforward WordPress website is usually ready in 4–6 weeks; custom software typically takes longer. After the first call, we give you a realistic estimate.
Do you also do Shopify?
Yes. Shopify is part of our technology stack alongside WordPress and Laravel – for shops that go beyond WooCommerce or have specific requirements.
