Your Web Designer in Heidelberg

Web Design for Heidelberg’s International Community

Heidelberg is one of Germany’s most international cities. Home to Heidelberg University, multiple Max Planck Institutes, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, and a major US military community (USAREUR HQ), this city has an outsized demand for English-language digital services. Yet most web designers here only operate in German.

That’s where I come in. Based in nearby Ettlingen — a 45-minute drive or quick train ride from Heidelberg’s Altstadt — I create custom websites for the international businesses, researchers, and professionals who make this city unique.

Why Choose a Web Designer Who Understands Heidelberg?

Heidelberg isn’t just a beautiful old town and a castle. It’s a hub for:

• Life sciences & biotech — Companies like Heidelberg Pharma and countless research labs
• SAP ecosystem — Walldorf is next door, and many SAP professionals live in Heidelberg
• International startups — The city attracts founders from around the world
• US military & affiliated services — A large English-speaking community needs digital presence

I build in English first — your site is designed for an international audience from day one. Multilingual support (German, English, or more) is included as needed.

My Technology Stack

I don’t use page builders or templates. Every site is built from scratch using:

• Astro 5 — Blazing fast static sites with optional dynamic islands
• Angular — Enterprise-grade framework for complex applications
• Vue.js 3 — Interactive components where you need them
• Tailwind CSS 4 — Clean, maintainable styling
• Docker & Cloudflare — Enterprise-grade hosting infrastructure

The result: load times under one second, perfect Core Web Vitals, and a site that works 20 years from now.

How I Work with Heidelberg Clients

Every project starts with a conversation about your goals. We define the scope, I create wireframes and prototypes in Figma, and you give feedback at every stage. No surprises, no missed deadlines.

We can meet in person at a café in Heidelberg’s Altstadt, work entirely remotely via Figma and Discord, or a mix of both. You choose what works best.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with US military families and veterans in Heidelberg?

Yes. I understand the unique needs of the US military community in Germany — from PCS transitions to building a side business while stationed abroad. English is my working language for these projects.

How do you handle multilingual websites?

I build multilingual support from the ground up using Astro’s i18n system. German and English are included by default. Additional languages (French, Spanish, Croatian, etc.) can be added at any time.

My research institute needs a website — can you handle scientific content?

Absolutely. I work with researchers and academics to translate complex scientific concepts into clear, compelling web content. Your site needs to communicate with both peers and the public — I’ll help you strike that balance.
