Brand websites built to rank and convert
A job description rarely describes the real risk in a product. It helps to work with someone who has already built something similar.
You talk directly to the people writing the code, which keeps architecture decisions close to the implementation.
We work best with businesses searching for a website developer who want a partner that ships. Custom website development with performance, SEO, and clear calls to action.
What you get
- Custom brand websites
- Core Web Vitals focus
- Clear conversion paths
- Easy content updates
- One studio accountable for the result
- Design and engineering on the same schedule
- Support available after launch
How engagement works
As your website developer, we run a shared backlog, design reviews, and engineering sprints, and you keep one point of contact throughout.
- 01
Discover
Goals, constraints, data sources, and success metrics, all settled before we touch architecture or prompts. The work for teams in Germany stays tied to the outcome you asked for.
- 02
Design
System design, AI/tool boundaries, interface direction, and interaction prototypes. You see progress on the critical path every week.
- 03
Build
Modern stack, clean architecture, evaluated AI behavior, and iterative demos you can react to. Nothing here waits on a handover between separate teams.
- 04
Launch
Ship, monitor, harden, and keep improving models, tools, and product after go-live. On website development projects we favour practical architecture over trendy defaults.
How we build it, and why
The stack is chosen per project, not applied from a template. For website developer work these are the defaults, and the reason each one is on the list.
- Next.js
- server rendering and static generation in one framework, so marketing pages stay fast and app routes stay dynamic
- React
- the component model most teams can already hire for and maintain
- Tailwind
- design decisions stay in the markup, so the CSS does not grow faster than the product
- Strapi
- a headless CMS so content editors ship copy without a deploy
- Vercel
- preview deploys on every branch, so review happens on a real URL instead of a screenshot
What the first weeks look like
- Days 1-3
Context and constraints
Codebase, deploy path, and what "done" means for the website development. Short, because the useful version of this is specific.
- Week 1
First shipped slice
Something real goes out in the first week — custom brand websites rather than a setup ticket.
- Weeks 2-6
Build to the milestone
Pull requests, reviews, and weekly demos. You see the work as it happens rather than at a handover meeting.
- Handover
Documented and transferable
Runbooks, architecture notes, and a walkthrough, so the work does not depend on us still being here.
Weighing up your options
There are three realistic ways to get this built. Each is the right answer for someone.
A solo freelancer
Cheapest per hour and fine for a contained task. The risk on website development is breadth — one person covering design, backend, infrastructure, and launch usually means one of them is weak, and there is no cover when they are unavailable.
A local agency in Germany
Same timezone and a face to meet, which genuinely matters for some teams. You are also paying German teams emphasizing quality, privacy, and maintainable systems. rates for the whole team including the layers that never touch your website development, and a local shortlist is a small shortlist.
Arcode
A small senior team. The people who scope the website development write the code, you get weekly demos instead of status decks, and the engagement ends when the thing is live and handed over.

Working with teams in Germany
German teams emphasizing quality, privacy, and maintainable systems. Work is remote-first (CET/CEST), with written updates you can read in your own time. We usually collaborate in German/English.
How we work with Germany teams
Germany is three to four hours behind us, which means a full shared afternoon. German teams generally prefer a written scope agreed before work starts, and we work that way by default: spec in writing, then build against it.
What Germany clients usually need
German work skews towards maintainable systems rather than throwaway MVPs — B2B platforms, industrial and logistics tooling, and AI features that have to be explainable to a non-technical stakeholder before they ship.
Contracts, data, and compliance
GDPR is the starting point, not an afterthought. We default to EU-hosted data stores, keep a record of processing activities, and provide a DPA without being asked. Invoicing is in EUR, with reverse-charge VAT for registered businesses.
