A small team that delivers what it promises

Web development with integrity.

Codeäffchen is a development team from Germany. We build websites and software for businesses that need technology that works – not technology that merely impresses.

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:

H

Honesty

We say when something doesn't work or takes longer. No false promises.

Q

Quality

We deliver code that works and is maintainable. No shortcuts that become expensive later.

R

Reliability

When we give a deadline, we keep it. If not, we say so early.

E

Efficiency

We use AI and modern tools to be faster. Not to bill more hours.

P

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.

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 rotating contacts, no internal handovers. You always work with the same well-coordinated team.

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.

Who would have thought that a meeting in 2010, when Daniel first helped me program a client website, would blossom into such a strong and reliable partnership? We've since become a well-coordinated team and regularly collaborate on a wide variety of projects. For me, Daniel is …more – Read full review by Julia Spitzer on Google

I contacted Daniel because the font on my website (WordPress, Elementor) suddenly broke. Daniel fixed it in no time by adjusting settings, updating, and deleting outdated plugins. I especially appreciate his transparency regarding all the steps he took.
