Designing in the browser, not in the mockup
A static picture of a website cannot tell you how it behaves at 320 pixels, in German, on a slow connection. So we stopped drawing them.
Design & front-end studio — Berlin
Quiet interfaces for companies that sweat the details.
We design and build small, fast, bilingual websites and product interfaces — then hand them over documented, so your own team can keep them alive.
Three things, done properly.
What we do
01
Product design
Interface design for web apps: flows, states, and the unglamorous screens that decide whether people stay.
02
Front-end build
Hand-written HTML and CSS. No framework you did not ask for, and no build step you cannot run again in five years.
03
Bilingual content
One source language, one translation catalogue, no second site to maintain. English and German by default.

All postsA type stack that survives translation
German runs about a third longer than English and breaks in different places. Here is the small set of rules we use so nothing collapses.
Notes on shipping a bilingual site
Write every page once, keep the translations in one catalogue, and never let a second language become a second website.
