Webschmied

Based in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, Webschmied is a one-person operation run by Dirk Bertram as a freelance venture alongside other work, which is reflected in the limited business hours listed on the site (weekday evenings and Saturday mornings). The agency positions itself as a partner for small and medium-sized businesses seeking a web presence, offering a personal point of contact rather than a larger team structure. Given the freelance setup, clients dealing with Webschmied work directly with Bertram himself throughout a project. The declared services cover search engine optimization, web design, and logo creation, aimed at helping smaller companies establish and improve their online presence. The site itself, described under the tagline "Internet made in Germany," is currently in a creative pause, with sections for competencies, references, and information about "der Schmied" (the smith) referenced in the navigation structure. Contact with the agency is made directly by email or phone, and the business also maintains a presence on Facebook and Xing. No further detail on specific methods, tools, or project workflows is provided beyond these three core service areas.
