Web Design in Ulm: Code Depth Over Theme Aesthetics

For Ulm-based companies that need a website that will still be up and running in 5 years. TYPO3, WordPress, clean code, limited liability. We’re located 75 minutes away in Baienfurt—setting us apart from the many WordPress agencies in the Ulm market.

The Ulm web design market is crowded. Several established providers with strong local reviews, plus design boutiques and WordPress service providers. Many of them are good at their respective specializations.

We deliberately position ourselves differently: as a boutique GmbH with deep TYPO3 expertise and a focus on code quality. This isn’t the right fit for every Ulm client—but for certain situations, it’s the better choice.

Differentiation

What sets us apart from the top dogs in Ulm

Four differences from the typical Ulm web agency SERP.

USP 01

Code Instead of a Theme

Many web agencies in Ulm use WordPress themes (Astra, Avada, OceanWP) and page builders (Elementor, WPBakery, Divi). This becomes problematic for technically demanding projects—performance suffers, updates break, and security vulnerabilities pile up. We write our own code based on a clean CMS framework.

USP 02

TYPO3 as a viable option

None of the major web agencies in Ulm position themselves as TYPO3 specialists. This represents a real gap in the market for small and medium-sized businesses with compliance, multilingual, or complex editorial requirements. We have been working with TYPO3 (v4 through v13.4 LTS) since 2007.

USP 03

Liability of a GmbH

Many web designers in Ulm are independent freelancers or operate as general partnerships (GbR). This works well for small projects but can be risky for long-term support. A limited liability company (GmbH) has business liability insurance, a succession plan, and is required to maintain financial statements.

USP 04

Continuity

We’ve been in the same location since 2007. Some of our clients from 2010 are still with us today. That’s only possible because we make a point of not taking on every project.

Our Web Design Principles

  • Load time as a quality metric. Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) are genuine ranking factors. We build websites that are measurably and noticeably fast
  • Accessibility according to BITV/WCAG AA. At no extra cost. Increasingly mandatory in B2B tenders
  • Mobile First. 65–80% mobile usage across industries. Quick info, clear CTAs, minimal scrolling
  • GDPR built-in, not tacked on. Consent logic, cookie-free tracking alternatives (Plausible, Matomo on-premise)
  • SEO foundation. Clean URL structure, structured data, internal linking — even if no active SEO is booked

When we pass

Five constellations — and four for others

We're a good fit if:

    B2B small and medium-sized businesses with complex requirements

    Compliance, multilingualism, interfaces.

  2. Period 02 / KW

    Pharmaceutical/medical device supplier

    In the Ulm-Lake Constance Cluster — a regulated B2B sector with high standards.

  3. Period 03 / KW

    Public Sector / Universities / Associations

    With a track record in TYPO3 — upgrade and relaunch projects.

  4. Period 04 / KW

    Relaunch projects for legacy systems

    Joomla, Drupal, legacy TYPO3 → modern platforms with a 301 redirect plan and SEO support.

  5. Period 05 / KW

    Code Rescue Cases

    Previous agency is no longer available — Premium emergency service available for an additional fee.

If we don't pass

We strongly recommend looking into local alternatives as well. In Ulm and the surrounding area, there are established web design providers with their own areas of expertise—branding, video marketing, traditional advertising agency models, and on-site support. A quick search on Google Maps for “Webdesign Ulm” will bring up the most prominent candidates with reviews.

We deliberately do not name any specific providers. Markets change, and providers shift their focus. Choose the provider that’s right for your specific project—we’d be happy to help you assess your options during an initial consultation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions from Ulm

Six direct answers — distance, project size, choice of CMS.

A 75-minute commute—how does that work in practice?

Project kickoff typically takes place on-site (1–2 meetings). In between, we’ll connect remotely via video call. For relaunches involving a design phase, 2–3 additional meetings are required. Travel expenses are calculated transparently.

Can you also take on small projects?

Yes, as long as the content is appropriate. A 4-page WordPress site for a local service provider in Ulm is fine. What we don't do: logo design, print campaigns, WIX site repairs, or purely graphic design work.

Which CMS do you recommend for small and medium-sized businesses in Ulm?

We typically use TYPO3 for regulated industries, multilingual sites, and complex editorial workflows. We use WordPress for marketing-focused sites that require quick and easy maintenance. We provide platform-agnostic consulting.

Can I bring my existing WordPress website with me?

Yes, on a regular basis. Code Rescue if the previous agency is no longer available — 150% surcharge due to the increased effort required for analysis.

Do you work with advertising agencies in Ulm?

Yes. We often serve as the technical partner when an advertising agency handles design and strategy. For agencies.

How long does a relaunch take?

Small website: 6–10 weeks; medium-sized website: 12–20 weeks; large corporate website: 20–40 weeks. This depends heavily on how quickly your team makes decisions.
