Designbetrieb

Based in Essen, this small agency (team of ten or fewer) works with small businesses and founders in the local region, including entrepreneurs setting up new companies who need starter business materials. Its focus spans website creation and the broader visual identity work that typically accompanies it, positioning itself as a full-service point of contact for companies that need both a web presence and printed or graphic materials from a single provider based in the same city. The core service is WordPress-based web design, described as responsive and built around UI/UX considerations and micro-animations, alongside website concepting and layout. Search engine optimization is offered as a complementary service to the web builds. The agency also produces microsites and landing pages, and provides Google My Business support. Beyond web work, it covers print design (business cards, letterhead, flyers, brochures, folding leaflets, notepads, bookmarks, postcards, newspaper ads, signage, vehicle and shop-window lettering, roll-ups and displays), corporate design and logo design, and creates location/direction sketches (Anfahrtsskizzen) for businesses. Corporate photography is listed among its capabilities as well. The stated project process runs through an initial consultation, a quote delivered within 48 hours, an implementation phase involving close client collaboration, and ongoing support and maintenance after launch. Pricing is described as dependent on the scope and budget agreed during the initial discussion, with a cost calculator offered on the site to give an estimate before commissioning work.
