Software for your own business
When orders arrive by email and then get copied into spreadsheets by hand, it costs time every single day. Mistakes creep in, and often only one person really knows where everything is.
For situations like that I build tools that fit the way your business works. You can see what’s going on at any time, and the business no longer depends on what one person keeps in their head. That’s how NeuraPort came about, my software for ocean freight forwarders.

About me
I’m Marten, I live in Hamburg and I make websites and software. Alongside client projects I develop my own products, for example NeuraPort for freight forwarders and the app articula.
That’s why I build websites without a site builder. They load quickly and can be extended later, for example with online booking, customer accounts or connections to other software. I work in English and German, so we can talk in whichever you prefer.
You only ever deal with me. I design, write the code and afterwards explain how everything works.

Frequently asked questions
What’s included in the price?
Design, build, the adjustments for phones and tablets, the technical groundwork for Google and two rounds of changes. Exactly what’s included is set out in the quote before we start.
How long does it take?
A single page is usually ready in one to two weeks, a business website in two to four weeks. It mostly depends on how quickly the text and images are ready.
Can my website be in English, German or both?
Yes. I work in both languages. If you want your site in two languages, you can add that in the price calculator.
Can you write the copy too?
Yes. You give me bullet points and I turn them into website copy. I also edit images. You can add both in the price calculator.
What does it cost per month afterwards?
If I host the site it costs €15 a month, or €49 with updates and small changes. You can also host it with your own provider.
Do you redo existing websites?
Yes. Send me the link and tell me what bothers you about it. I’ll tell you honestly whether a revamp is enough or a fresh start makes more sense.
Drop me a line
Email is easiest. Keep it informal, a few sentences about what you have in mind are plenty. I usually reply within one working day, in English or German.
