Services

From the first pixel to the last interface.

I build websites, shops and tools – and take care of the IT around them. Six areas, one contact.

Web design & relaunch

Whether it's a new website or a relaunch: I build sites that load fast, work on every device and lead visitors straight to getting in touch. Accessible, GDPR-compliant and built so you can update the content yourself.

Typical tasks

  • Concept, structure and design
  • Mobile first, short loading times
  • Search engine optimisation (SEO)
  • Accessibility according to WCAG
  • Hosting, maintenance and care

Tools

  • WordPress
  • PHP
  • HTML & CSS
  • JavaScript
  • Matomo

Online shops & e-commerce

From a small shop to a B2B range where customers order to the millimetre. I set up product data, dynamic products, discounts, shipping and payment methods and connect the shop to ERP, accounting and logistics – so no order ever needs to be typed in by hand.

Typical tasks

  • WooCommerce for B2B & B2C
  • Dynamic products instead of rigid variants
  • Integrations with ERP, DATEV and shipping
  • Multilingual shops
  • Accessibility (EAA/BFSG) in mind

Tools

  • WooCommerce
  • WeClapp
  • REST APIs
  • Google Ads

Custom web tools & PIM

Sometimes the right software doesn't exist – or it costs more per seat than it's worth. Then I build it: product databases with pricing and margin logic, crawlers for competitor prices, time tracking with an RFID terminal. With a clean data model, role-based permissions and automated tests.

Typical tasks

  • Product information management (PIM)
  • Price calculation and margin logic
  • Crawlers and data matching
  • Time tracking with kiosk & RFID
  • Automating recurring workflows

Tools

  • PHP
  • Node.js
  • MySQL/MariaDB
  • PostgreSQL
  • Playwright

Office IT, Microsoft 365 & integrations

I look at what you are running and bring order to it: replacing the old server in the storeroom, introducing Microsoft 365 with email, Teams and cloud storage, setting up laptops, tablets and printers – and connecting shop, ERP and DATEV so every piece of information is entered only once. Everything documented, so you don’t depend on me. And if something goes wrong, you have a direct line to me – no ticket system, no waiting line.

Typical tasks

  • Quick help when something breaks – a direct line instead of a ticket system
  • Introducing Microsoft 365: email, Teams and cloud storage
  • Replacing the old on-site server – setting up print services and backups anew
  • New workplaces: laptops, tablets, network
  • ERP introduction and migration (e.g. WeClapp)
  • DATEV exports for accounting and payroll

Tools

  • Microsoft 365
  • Teams & SharePoint
  • WeClapp
  • DATEV
  • REST APIs

Power BI dashboards & reporting

Power BI dashboards & sales reporting: I automatically combine data from your ERP and Excel, visualise the figures that really matter and make sure you can make decisions at the push of a button – instead of copying lists together every month. Plus Excel tools with VBA and advice on KPIs and controlling.

Typical tasks

  • Power BI dashboards built for you
  • Sales reporting with live ERP data
  • Automatic data preparation via data gateway
  • Excel tools, VBA and macros
  • KPI and controlling advice

Tools

  • Power BI
  • Excel & VBA
  • SQL
  • Data Gateway

  • Roll-ups and plotted hall banners
  • 3D-printed prototypes

How we work together

Four steps. No surprises.

  1. Talk & understand

    We talk about your plans, your customers and your processes – by phone, video or on site. Afterwards you get a clear, written quote.

  2. Concept & look

    I sketch structure, content and design. You see early on where it's heading and can step in at any time.

  3. Build

    I build, test and show you progress on a protected preview. No black box, but regular, honest updates.

  4. Launch & support

    Once you approve, everything goes live – with a handover and documentation. And afterwards I'm still there for maintenance, updates and new ideas.

FAQ

Short answers.

How much does a website cost?

It depends on the scope – a lean company website is something different from a shop with an ERP integration. After our first conversation you'll get a written quote with clear line items. The conversation itself is free.

What happens when our IT stops working?

You call me directly – no ticket system, no waiting line. When something breaks, I respond quickly and help without fuss: on the phone, via video or on site in the Ruhr area. And if I set up your IT, I know it and don’t have to go searching first.

How long does a project take?

A company website is often ready within a few weeks. Shops, integrations and custom applications are planned in stages so you have something usable early on.

Can I update the content myself later?

Yes. I set everything up so you can change texts, images and projects yourself – and I'll show you how. If you'd rather not do anything yourself, I'll take care of it.

Do you only work in Mülheim?

No. I'm happy to visit in the Ruhr area, but I work just as well by phone and video for clients all over Germany – among others in Cologne, Essen, near Karlsruhe and near Stuttgart.

Does it work with the software we already use?

In most cases, yes. Whether WeClapp, Microsoft 365, DATEV or an ERP with CSV export: I look at what's there and build on it instead of starting from scratch.

Why shouldn't I just use a free website builder (Wix, Jimdo)?

It's only free with restrictions: free plans usually run under the provider's address and show its branding or ads. To run a business you need a paid plan – and that costs money every month for as long as the website is supposed to exist. On top of that, the provider largely decides loading time and technology, and with Wix and IONOS you can, according to their help pages, later take texts, your own images and domain with you, but not the finished website. For a quick test that's fine. For your business card, a website that belongs to you is worth it – more under “Website Builder Alternative”.

Do I need a big website right away or is a lean business card enough?

To start, a lean page is often enough: who you are, what you offer, how to reach you, plus a few references. That's a handful of pages that load fast and are easy to maintain. It gets bigger when you have services that need explaining, are looking for applicants, sell online or appear in several languages. I build in modules: you start lean and add what you need – without starting over. A website isn't an encyclopaedia, it's a good first impression and an open door.

Why does your own website have no cookie banner?

Because it doesn't set or read anything I would have to ask your permission for: no cookies, no third-party trackers, no fonts, maps or videos from third-party servers, hosting in Germany. Visitor statistics run without cookies and without fingerprinting on my own Matomo server, and IP addresses are stored shortened. A cookie banner is mainly needed when a website stores or reads something on your device or embeds third-party services that receive their visitors' data – where neither happens, there is nothing to permit. That isn't legal advice. If you do without such services, I'll build your website the same way. The details are in the privacy policy.

Project or problem?

Tell me about it.

Whether it’s a new project or IT that just needs to work again: a quick call or a few lines are enough. I’ll tell you honestly what I think – and what it takes.
