Services

Creating websites

The creation of unique, contemporary and modern websites is my main focus.

Due to my many years of experience, I pay particular attention to good usability, fast loading of the content and of course search engine optimization so that your content reaches your target group.

When using so-called content management systems (CMS), I pay attention to the expediency and your needs. Statamic, Concrete5, Nera and others are part of my repertoire.

Web application development

Today, many work processes are software-bound and can no longer be managed in whole or in part without a computer. As a developer of web applications, I help you to simplify your processes even further and thereby to save time and money.

Without expensive software licenses and cumbersome update processes, I get your software online and enable you and your employees to use it from where ever you want. Data protection and data security are included next to very good usability as top priorities.

Maintenance and content

For your existing website, I am happy to take over the maintenance and further development as well as the maintenance of the content. Together we will ensure that your website is technically and content-wise up to date.

A fundamental revision with the same appearance is just as easy to implement as the adaptation of the appearance while maintaining important functions.

The optimization for search engine-relevant improvements of the mobile website is a matter of course.

Transformation and improvement

Updating old systems or platforms is often an insurmountable hurdle. This leads to websites or web applications presenting dangerous security risks.

I will help you to tackle this problem quickly and cheaply. I reliably make sure that your website is not a target for hackers and you and your customers do not have to worry about data protection.

Consultation

Search engine optimization, data protection compliance, choice of host provider, checking of offers and much more are topics where questions often arise that no one answers comprehensively and objectively.

As your independent consultant, you can be sure that I will answer all of your questions about your website openly and honestly.

Website "Gesundheitspraxis Strausberg"

The content management system (CMS) on the practice website was out of date and could no longer be updated. This led to errors on the website and ultimately to total failure.

The easy maintenance and updating of content by the customer were decisive for the choice of the CMS.
