Websites, software and maintenance from one team

Your web development agency

Three things we do really well: websites with WordPress, fast sites with Astro and custom software with Laravel. Sometimes it's one, sometimes another – often several together.

Trusted by businesses like

Four areas. One standard.

As a web development agency we build company websites, shops and custom software – plan them beforehand and keep them running after launch. One team in Middle Franconia, remote for Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a website and software?

A website presents content and can usually be managed with a CMS like WordPress. Software solves a specific problem – e.g. a customer portal, a calculation tool or an interface between systems.

Do I need to decide beforehand?

No. Often in a conversation it becomes clear what you actually need. Sometimes you start with a website and later add custom functions.

Can you combine both?

Yes. Many of our projects combine a WordPress website with custom extensions or integrations. That's one of our strengths.

Do you also offer maintenance?

Yes. For both websites and software. You can conclude a maintenance contract after project completion or commission us on a per-need basis.

What does a web development agency cost?

It depends on the project. A simple website starts at around €5,000–8,000, small automations at a few thousand euros, custom web applications from €10,000 – typical projects run €15,000–60,000. We give you a realistic estimate after the initial call.

How do I recognise a good web development agency?

Three questions help: do you talk to the people who actually build, or to a salesperson in between? Do you know what the project costs before it starts, or only when the invoice arrives? And is it clear who keeps the site current after launch? With us you talk to the developers directly, projects run on a fixed price after the first call, and the care afterwards is its own offer rather than an open invoice.

Do you also work as a white-label partner for other agencies?

Yes. If you are an agency yourself and need development capacity, we take on the technical build – visible as your tech partner or entirely in the background. There is a dedicated page for that under “For Agencies”.

Client reviews

What 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.
