01 Studio

We build websites and the software behind them.

digosoft is a small development studio in Frankfurt am Main. We design company websites, write applications and operate both on our own servers.

Our own desk in the evening. This is where the websites and the applications behind them are made.

02 Two disciplines

We work at both ends: on the site your customers see, and on the application your team works with.

Websites

From the first outline to a site delivered in milliseconds. We build statically, so there is nothing left running that could break.

  • Corporate sites, relaunches, single campaign pages
  • Editorial work through a CMS, if you want to write yourself
  • Built for accessibility, tested with keyboard and screen reader
  • Loading times we measure before handover and tell you

Software

Line-of-business applications, interfaces and automation. Not a tool only we can operate, but code your team can read later on.

  • Interfaces between systems that are currently bridged by hand
  • Routines that run by themselves at night instead of by hand on Thursdays
  • Databases, reports and small applications with user permissions
  • Operated in containers, with backups and a way back

03 Process

Four steps, the same every time.

01Conversation
We sit down together and work out what the project has to achieve and who will be working with it. After that you know what we would build, how long it takes and what it costs. Only then does the work begin.
02Draft
You see structure and design applied to your own content, never to dummy text. For software the starting point is a working slice rather than a slide deck: a narrow path through the entire application.
03Build
We work in short rounds and show every interim state on a test address. What is finished has been checked: loading times, keyboard operation, behaviour on small screens, backups.
04Operation
Nothing is left to sit after launch. We keep updates current, watch availability and certificates, and get in touch before you notice anything. The source code is yours, and you can move on at any time.

04 Principles

A stack of paper, glasses and a cup on a concrete surface in daylight
Static wherever possible
A page delivered as a finished file has nothing that can break at runtime. We add moving parts where they serve a purpose.
Our own servers
We run our infrastructure ourselves, in German data centres. No website-builder subscription, no dependency on a provider nobody can cancel.
No tracking without a reason
Measuring is allowed, but it has to be justified. Where there is nothing to measure we collect nothing, and then no consent banner is needed either.
Readable code
We write so that another team can carry on. Handover means source code, documentation and credentials, not a conversation behind closed doors.

Tell us what needs building.

Two or three sentences are enough to start. We usually reply the same working day and tell you honestly whether we are the right people for the job.
