Thoughtful software and web development for small businesses.
A one-person studio in Norderstedt, just outside Hamburg. Custom websites, online shops and automation — a handful of engagements each year, hands-on from kickoff to launch.
What I build for small businesses
Web development & websites
Fast, modern websites that work on every device and get found on Google. From a single landing page to a multilingual company site — built cleanly, without page-builder bloat.
Online shops & ordering systems
Sell or take orders straight from your own site. Payments, cart and an admin area included — like the catering shop built for KiM’s.
SEO & online marketing
So customers can find you: search engine optimization, a well-tended Google Business Profile and the technical foundation Google rewards. From setup to ongoing improvement.
Custom software & internal tools
When off-the-shelf software doesn’t fit: tailored applications and internal tools that match your workflow exactly — not the other way around.

How I work.
I'm Julian Hansen, and I build thoughtful software for clients who value getting things right over getting them fast. You talk to the person writing the code — from the first conversation through deployment and beyond.
I take on a small number of engagements each year. Focused work, clear scope, no half-built projects competing for attention.
Frequently asked questions
What does a website or custom software cost?
It depends on scope. A simple website starts lower than a custom application with ordering and payments. You get a clear fixed-price or framework quote before the project starts — no surprises.
How long does a project take?
A modest website is often live within a few weeks. Larger systems with a shop or automation take longer. Because I take on only a few projects at a time, I work focused and without a queue.
Do you only work in Norderstedt and Hamburg?
I’m based in Norderstedt, right next to Hamburg — in-person meetings in the region are always possible. The work itself runs fully remote: anywhere in Germany and worldwide. Clients outside the region work with me over video calls and email, in English or German. And if meeting face to face matters to you, we can arrange that outside the region too.
Can I maintain the website myself later?
Yes. On request you get a simple admin area to manage content, products or orders yourself — no technical knowledge required.
Page builder (Wix, Shopify) or custom development?
Builders are fine for a fast start but hit limits on custom workflows, performance and long-term cost. Custom development pays off once your requirements go beyond the template.
What happens after launch?
I keep supporting projects after launch — updates, extensions, and the same point of contact who wrote the code.
