What Wowholic does

Wowholic GmbH is a German web development agency, founded in 2015 and based in Munich and Schliersee, that builds premium websites and webshops for design-conscious brands and design agencies. The firm operates with a small team of approximately five people under founder Tobias Henning, who leads direction on every engagement.

Its core technical capability is frontend development with a strong emphasis on layout, typography, motion, and animation, implemented on multiple content platforms including WordPress, Shopify, Craft CMS, and Statamic, with additional work on structured content architectures and custom API integrations. Delivery is supported by a documented QA and launch process, plus ongoing maintenance, support, and uptime monitoring that extends beyond go-live until the next redesign. The company has built 125+ design-conscious websites and maintains 24+ design partner relationships, with case studies spanning lighting, IT services, hospitality, business services, and nonprofit/cultural institutions.

Revenue is generated through project-based engagements priced on a quote basis, supplemented by multi-year maintenance and support contracts. Distribution is fully direct: prospective clients and design partners reach the firm via email ([email protected]) and phone, and a meaningful share of pipeline flows through long-standing relationships with design studios across the DACH region, with selected engagements extending into France.
