hypercode.de 2.0: Our New Website

When we launched Hypercode last year, our website focused on introducing the company, our services and our founding team. We wanted people to get to know this new team and our approach as a hands-on partner for advice and development. With today’s launch of hypercode.de 2.0, that introduction becomes more detailed: our About page offers a closer look at who we are and what matters to us.

The projects we plan, design and develop with our clients remain at the heart of our work. So we’ve brought them onto the homepage and will be sharing selected projects through detailed case studies.

We’re starting with two projects that show just how varied digital products can be:

  • The chargecloud.de website: we handled planning, design and web development to clearly communicate the benefits of chargecloud’s e-mobility software. The result is a distinctive, fast website built with Craft CMS, a GraphQL API and a Vue.js/Nuxt.js single-page application.
  • The WIFI CONTROL app for Audiotec Fischer: we developed an iOS and Android app with a custom connection to in-car audio hardware. Users can now control their Audiotec Fischer system from a smartphone or tablet, where previously they needed a laptop and a visit to a specialist workshop.

Over the coming weeks and months, we’ll add more case studies covering completed projects and work in progress. We’re also launching this blog as a place to share both broad perspectives and specialist insights into digital product development, with occasional looks behind the scenes at Hypercode.

We’d love you to stop by again, or subscribe via RSS or JSON feed. We hope you enjoy version 2.0 and welcome your feedback and suggestions.

Happy Birthday to us!

Exactly one year ago today, we opened for business as Hypercode. Months of preparation and the founding of our GmbH in April 2019 had led to this moment: our own vision of a modern digital business, and the first Digital Product Studio in Germany’s most beautiful city, Cologne.

In October 2019, the office building we’d chosen months earlier was finally finished, and we moved into our first office, affectionately known as “Hyperspace One”. Late summer and a mild winter brought plenty of evenings on the roof terrace, where we gathered after work and sometimes met with clients.

After launching our first larger projects and plenty of smaller ones in spring 2020, and enjoying a memorable carnival party, we were in for a rude awakening. A global pandemic unlike anything in living memory soon sent us home to work. Fortunately, we were able to carry on as usual from there. Today, we’re confident we can meet the challenges of the pandemic as a company, as a partner to our clients and as part of society. Still, starting a company: hard mode. 😅

Now we’re looking forward to year two, new projects, new clients and certainly no shortage of challenges. Thank you to everyone who has supported and inspired us during this exciting first year. We’re full of energy for what comes next and look forward to continuing the journey together!
