What makes us different
Three principles that set us apart from others.
Small
No corporation, no B-team. You always work with the same people.
Focused
One project, full attention. No distraction from 20 other clients.
Direct
You talk to those who develop. No intermediaries.
Structure without bureaucracy
We work remotely, but not chaotically. Clear processes, documented workflows, regular check-ins. You always know where your project stands.
Remote
We work from different locations in Germany. Communication happens via video, chat and email.
Kanban
No rigid sprints – flowing work with clear priorities.
Documentation
Every project is documented. Code, decisions, handovers – all traceable.
Open doors
You can talk to anyone at any time – from developer to management. Short paths, real answers.
Tools: Jira, Confluence, Google Workspace, GitHub

What we believe in
Values often sound like marketing fluff. Here's what we actually mean:
Honesty
We say when something doesn't work or takes longer. No false promises.
Quality
We deliver code that works and is maintainable. No shortcuts that become expensive later.
Reliability
When we give a deadline, we keep it. If not, we say so early.
Efficiency
We use AI and modern tools to be faster. Not to bill more hours.
Partnership
We work with you, not for you. Long-term, not project-by-project.
Where we come from
Codeäffchen was founded by Daniel Nilges – a full-stack developer with 20 years of experience in web development and software. Our tech pillars: WordPress, Laravel, Astro, and custom software development – for businesses and agencies across Germany.
The idea: a team that works with technical precision, communicates clearly and thinks long-term. Not an agency that churns through projects. But partners who understand what they build.
Today we work for businesses that need websites and software – and for agencies that need technical support in the background.
Why Codeäffchen?
Elsewhere
- Large teams, rotating contacts
- Projects get passed around internally
- Sales pitch first, someone else later
- After project: goodbye
With us
- Small team, always the same people
- Who starts, finishes
- You talk directly to the people who develop
- After project: we stay reachable
Frequently asked questions
How big is your team?
We are deliberately small. That means no internal handovers and no ticket system your request disappears into. You work with the same well-coordinated team – with a fixed contact and a named stand-in when they are away.
Where are you based?
We work remotely from Germany. Meetings run via video, communication via chat and email.
How long have you been doing this?
The founder has been working on the web for 20 years. The team has been working together for several years.
Do you only work with companies?
We work with companies and agencies. Private individuals or very small projects usually don't fit our profile.
Can I speak directly with the developers?
Yes. You can talk to anyone on the team – including directly with the developers working on your project.
What our clients say
Real reviews from real clients – directly from our Google Business Profile.
