All websites showcased above are completely handcrafted. They were planned to fulfill the individual needs of the customers and to provide the best communication to their target groups. They were designed pixel by pixel, handcoded with my favourite text editor and some framework and tools of my choice. They all rely on backends to manage the websites content, most of them are highly individual and customized systems which provide exactly the managing possibilities needed.
Those websites are truely custom-made: in the front and in the back. For a rich user experience and an optimized value for the customer.
Visuals
A website should attract their visitors. So they stay longer and consume more of the offered contents. As they get more interested they probably behave as you want them to.
But more than only a pleasing visual appearance it is important to provide a clean user interface and to enhance the user experience by an intuitive website behaviour. An obvious and hierarchical navigation is as mandatory as a semantically correct and hierarchical content.
Technicals
Besides the visual frontend which the visitor recognizes as a website there is a lot of tech stuff in the background (and also in the front). This is what keeps the website alive and running. Dynamically generated content, responses to user actions, handling forms and requests... a lot of things have to be done to provide the experience the visitor deserves.
