Your project with us: 4 good reasons
Through our own projects, we know how our customers operate: entrepreneurially. That's why we have a clear idea of how to turn your project into an identifiable and measurable success story.
We have excellent knowledge of the market because we run own projects ourselves: with over 800 digital products of our own, with our e-learning portal TutKit.com, and with our expert forum with over 60,000 members. Successful – for over 20 years!
We make your success measurable. With online tools that specifically evaluate what we achieve for you, for example in search engine optimization or in terms of page performance. You are welcome to view and test them yourself at any time!
We pool our skills intelligently and efficiently, work agilely, interact remotely, and network with cloud software like Adobe XD. Your advantage: We can easily involve you in important processes in a short way.
Efficient calculation, focused work and meeting deadlines – we tick like our customers. Because we always think entrepreneurially from our own experience. So we don't do anything for art or awards, but only for the achievement of goals.
The 4eck Media team took over the concept, design and development for our online store coralaxy.de. We were convinced right from the start by the enthusiasm for our project on the part of the agency. Since we had some special requirements for the store, we were certainly not the easiest customers - but no problem for the 4eck Media Team! Individual adjustments were always solved quickly and to our complete satisfaction. We are looking forward to further cooperation!
Our focus industries
We focus on three thematic areas: Health, e-commerce and real estate. Your advantage: We combine functional marketing knowledge with industry expertise.
Doctor's office? Nursing service? Hospital? We have effective tools to help you present your facility attractively – online, in print, to your patients and staff. We also support you in professionally presenting your attractiveness as an employer and in recruiting, so that you can soon strengthen your teams with new employees.
Do you want to sell your products via subscription or e-commerce? Revise an existing online store, improve the user experience on your tourism website and increase bookings? We are professionals in this and let you share 15 years of experience as a real store operator. This will save you from the pitfalls that can only be learned in practice.
Still in the concept phase? Or is the building already standing? Either way, we inspire investors or open the doors for new tenants and owners. For this we create websites, exposés as well as 3D visualizations with interior and exterior views for you. From apartments to urban development projects - you can count on us in the real estate sector!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Because we successfully operate our own project on the market with our e-learning portal TutKit.com, we finance ourselves differently than other agencies. For this reason, we only work for a small number of agency clients that really suit us. This allows us to maintain a disciplined, sustained focus on your project. Clients appreciate this commitment and at the same time benefit from the experience and expertise we have gained in our own projects for more than 20 years. We only do for clients what we would do for ourselves. We don't recommend nonsense because of nice pictures or a few likes.
We are a design-loving agency with a high sensitivity for user experience and at the same time real hardcore developers who only really warm up where others already have to drop out. In fact, we always design projects for the optimal, goal-oriented user experience. And our developers are capable of developing plugins for WordPress and modules for PrestaShop, or entire custom developments for large projects based on Laravel, in addition to website development.
We do not want to do photo and video shoots. We rely on partners in our network and will gladly establish contact for you or coordinate all necessary work so that you continue to have only one contact person: us. We are also not a classic IT system house, which installs software on your computers, sets up cash register systems or time recording systems for you.
Our focus industries are health, real estate and e-commerce (online stores and tourism websites with booking links). Of course, we also work for other industries, as you can see in our references. If the chemistry between you and us is right, the size of your company does not matter at all. Even if you are just starting up, we have some budget-friendly solutions. Especially with startups and entrepreneurs, we are aware of how outstanding the quality of our work has to be in order for the new concept to work. A good example is Coralaxy GmbH, whose online success was largely dependent on our store development. Today they are one of the leading online stores for sustainable corals. The greatest success for us is seeing how young companies grow and digitally conquer entire industries.
What does a house cost, what does a car cost? You know what it's like ... it all depends. But we don't want to be hesitant, would like to give you a price range that our projects over the last twelve months have been in. It starts with a one-pager, which costs between €4,500 and €8,000. For an extensive corporate website based on WordPress, you can expect to pay between 12,000 and 25,000 euros - or more, depending on your requirements. Online shops and websites with links to booking platforms start at €25,000, with the last two major shop projects costing between €50,000 and €80,000.
Yes, others are cheaper. That's what we've been told. We doubt that our results are comparable to those of competitors who simply install a template for you (see question about ensuring project success). If you are looking for the cheapest possible provider, please use one of the other agencies.
After a full briefing with you and clarification of all our questions, we work with a fixed price for the realisation of a new project (e.g. website relaunch). This gives you peace of mind. And with us, there has never been a renegotiation of the service provided. If, during the course of the project, you express new functional requirements, these will be calculated and you can then decide whether these should be taken into account immediately, at a later date or not at all.
For later or smaller work on a project, we work on an hourly rate. This is 120 euros net. We will agree with you beforehand how much time you can expect. As a rule of thumb we can say: If a job is expected to take more than five days, we will be happy to quote you a fixed price.
We start with a briefing. We want to know everything about you and your goals, your project and your (target) customers, as well as your requirements, needs and pain points. We will provide you with a comprehensive briefing template. For some projects, a workshop with you and your team is also useful. The second step is the research phase. We analyse the competitive situation and research the best (international) industry solutions. From this, we develop a wireframe prototype that is tailored to you and your goals. In this conceptual step, we coordinate with you the entire user experience along the customer journey (information and interaction architecture, click paths, call-to-actions, etc.). After your feedback, we then create the user interface design, which is made available as a clickable online prototype. You contribute with feedback and change requests. Only when everything is exactly right do we hand over the confirmed UI design with all design assets to our development team. Development begins. At the same time, you will receive a checklist of the additional work we need to do. As soon as we are one development step further, you will be given access to our test environment to test the system. You will not be our alpha tester, but you will have already completed internal agency testing. As a rule, you will have a fixed contact person in our agency. Every Friday we will inform you about the current status of our work, necessary feedback loops or requests for additional work.
We are experts in user experience and search engine optimisation. How quickly does the concept and content of your website, product or service get across to your (target) customers without them having to think about it or getting frustrated at any point? That's what it's all about. A good user experience is essential for websites and online shops because ...
- a product (e.g. your website) should meet or exceed your customers' expectations
- it puts the customer and their needs at the centre and triggers positive emotions
- it is one of the most important ranking factors for Google since 2021.
A good user experience is therefore a clear competitive advantage in the battle for customers. The most important thing for you as a business owner is to understand ...
- the importance of user experience for the ranking of your website by Google
- which measurement tools are available to determine a high (technical) user experience, and
- which factors and elements favour a high user experience for your target customers.
We have measurement tools that we can apply to your project. And we only accept top ratings. Among other things, we work
- for an excellent OnPage quality and search engine optimization with Seobility and the Google Search Console
- for an outstanding and security-focused backend quality with SymfonyInsights and Sentry.io
- for lightning website speed/performance and ensuring core web vitals for a high technical user experience with GTMetrix and PageSpeed Insights
These are tools that are also available to you. Agencies always have a knowledge advantage over their clients and can tell you and promise you anything else. If you work with an agency, always have the quality of your project certified by external measurement tools. This is also the reason why we - unlike many of our competitors - do not work with ready-made templates. These may look good, but consistently deliver only mediocre results in the test tools, which is bad for your ranking. But then nobody tells you that.
If technical updates are required or you want new functions, we will be happy to continue working on your project on a time basis. A maintenance contract is not necessary for this. For larger projects such as online stores, it is advisable to also define certain marketing goals within the scope of a maintenance contract, which we are to achieve for you within a fixed time frame.
Since we work almost exclusively with open source solutions such as WordPress, you can also entrust other agencies with the further development of your project. We don't design isolated solutions and we don't hold our hand anywhere.
