Architecture-first
engineering services

You can contact us for production-ready MVPs, custom web platforms, client portals, internal tools, lead-generation websites, CRM-connected systems, and modernisation of existing products or workflows.

No. We work with funded startups, founder-led companies, growing businesses and selected Mittelstand teams. The common pattern is not company size, but the need for custom software that supports real workflows, customers or operations.

Yes. We support established German companies with phased modernisation, internal tools, portals and operational software. The best fit is a practical, focused project where we can improve one workflow, system or product area at a time without forcing a full rewrite.

If the scope is unclear, start with a short architecture or product scoping sprint. We map the workflows, system logic, risks, integrations and delivery roadmap before committing to a full build.

Yes. An Architecture Sprint or a focused proof-of-concept can be the right first step before committing to a larger build. You validate architecture and scope without the full upfront investment.

Focused websites, lead systems and smaller business tools usually start around €5k–10k. Architecture sprints start from €3.5k. MVPs, portals and custom platforms typically range from €15k to €50k+, depending on scope, integrations and production requirements.

Yes. The project is built for your ownership: source code in your GitHub/GitLab organisation, documentation, deployment setup and handover are part of the delivery. No vendor lock-in, no black-box dependency.

We implement the technical foundations: EU hosting options, consent setup, access controls, data-flow documentation and handover. Final legal wording and compliance review should be handled by your legal or privacy advisor.

No — and no serious party can. We don't apply for grants or give tax advice on your behalf. For clients exploring Germany's R&D tax credit (Forschungszulage), we partner with Forschungsmittel.com, who handle the BSFZ application and tax-side coordination. We focus on building and documenting the R&D component the way the BSFZ expects. How it works →

Yes, when the website is part of a business system: SEO, lead generation, CRM, analytics, editorial workflows or campaign infrastructure. We are usually not the right fit for simple low-budget brochure sites or template customisation only.

Typical scope can include auth, user roles, database, primary product flows, admin panel, API layer, integrations, deployment, analytics, documentation and handover. The exact scope is fixed before development starts.

Yes. We build internal tools, admin panels, customer portals, partner portals, booking systems, operational dashboards and workflow platforms for companies that want to move beyond spreadsheets, Notion, Airtable or disconnected tools.

Yes, when it creates practical value. AI can be added for document processing, summaries, smart search, internal assistants, workflow support or lead qualification. We do not treat AI as a separate trend; it is an optional layer inside useful business software.

Yes. We can support the product after launch through retainers or an engineering partnership covering maintenance, improvements, infrastructure, monitoring, documentation and scaling decisions.
