Based in Essen, this one-person web design practice has worked with doctors, medical practices, and local and mid-sized commercial clients since 2001, producing more than 300 websites over that period. Work ranges from full new builds to relaunches of outdated sites, with a stated focus on clear, modern layouts adapted for mobile devices. Fixed pricing is offered per project, communicated in advance through a project calculator, so costs are agreed before work begins. Services cover web design, search engine optimization and content management, delivered by a single practitioner who handles each project personally. Design work includes both complete new websites and redesigns of existing "veraltete" (outdated) sites, built with or without a content management system, and adapted for smartphones and tablets. SEO work involves calculating an internal SEO score for each site and tracking results with analysis tools, rather than only applying general best practice. For clients needing faster turnaround, a "Schnellreparatur" (quick repair) service updates existing sites when search engine rankings have dropped, legal requirements have changed, staff have changed, or services offered have changed. Project workflow starts with an online cost estimate, followed by a first design draft presented and discussed with the client before final development. Reference projects are grouped by sector, distinguishing medical and practice websites from commercial and mid-sized company sites.
