Netgenerator

What Netgenerator does

Netgenerator GmbH is a Berlin-based, owner-managed web design agency founded in 1998, operating as Netgenerator® from its Berlin-Mitte headquarters at Kurpromenade 51E and serving clients across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). The firm positions itself as a full-service digital agency covering strategy, corporate design, custom WordPress development, responsive design, SEO/GEO optimization, employer branding/career portals, and ongoing maintenance. Core delivery centers on handcrafted, individually coded WordPress themes built with PHP, MySQL, HTML/CSS, and JavaScript, deliberately avoiding pre-built templates and page builders; for cases where WordPress is insufficient, the firm maintains a proprietary Netgenerator CMS built on MySQL.

The business model blends project-based professional services with a smaller base of recurring revenue. One-off engagements cover web design, redesigns, digital branding, employer branding portals, and CMS/e-commerce migrations to WordPress and WooCommerce. Recurring revenue is generated through monthly WordPress maintenance contracts (updates, backups, security, performance) and German-located, DSGVO-compliant web hosting. Two government funding partnerships materially shape demand: the federal go-digital program (BMWI, authorized since 2017 under certification 62404-ZW-2806) and the Berlin state Digitalprämie program (IBB, since 2021), which together can subsidize up to 50% of SME project costs.

Customers span a horizontal mix of SMEs and mid-to-large enterprises across automotive (BMW/MINI dealer groups, including Nefzger and Wernecke), hospitality (Gorgeous Smiling Hotels / elaya, Hyatt, Interconti), pharma and healthcare (Meierhofer AG, Charité Berlin, ASB Oberhavel), media and publishing (Berliner Verlag / Die Weltbühne, OAZ), public sector and research (Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, TU Berlin), culture and sports (Friedrichstadt-Palast, Hertha BSC, FUSSBALLKANNMEHR), and retail campaigns (Lidl / Schwarz-Gruppe with M&C Saatchi). GTM is sales-led and direct: free in-person or remote consultations via phone, email, WhatsApp, and contact forms, with custom quotes per scope and no public price list. The firm also publishes a content-marketing blog, maintains a LinkedIn presence, and offers free utility tools (Google Snippet Generator, AI Brandname Generator) for top-of-funnel lead capture.
