What jkweb does

jkweb ag is a Swiss digital services agency founded in 2014 and currently undergoing a corporate rebranding to 'novu' (novu.ch). The company operates from five offices across Switzerland — Zurich (headquarters), Basel, Bern, Lucerne, and Winterthur — employs between 11 and 50 staff, and is privately held as a Swiss Aktiengesellschaft with no disclosed institutional funding or external investor base. Its core technology stack covers standard web design and development, e-commerce platforms (including integrations with merchandise management systems), native and hybrid mobile application development, and interactive 3D/game development.

The firm operates a horizontal service model organized into six practice areas: graphic design (logos, corporate identity, product packaging, print media), web design (from simple online business cards to multilingual information platforms), e-commerce (online stores ranging from simple to complex with ERP/merchandise management integration), custom software development (customer portals, online communities, digital processes, data visualization tools), mobile app development (native and hybrid), and interactive games and 3D product experiences. Revenue is generated through professional services engagements and project-based fees, classified predominantly as 'professional services' or 'one-time license' transactions rather than recurring subscriptions. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is primarily direct, supported by a network partner ecosystem — Qturn and Tatin for graphic design, Aviatic Films for film production, Onlion Marketeers for online marketing, and Daktiv for live communication — with marketing activity limited to portfolio showcase and partner referrals.

The client base skews toward large Swiss enterprises and institutions, including Novartis, Migros, SBB (Swiss Federal Railways), Axpo, Generali, Suva, NZZ, Hamilton, the Swiss Federal Government (Bund), the cantonal authorities (FMI, gd-basel-stadt), and University of Basel, alongside SMEs and startups such as Golfers Paradise and MyCamper. The company holds no patents, trademarks, certifications, or external funding, and discloses no AI/ML capabilities, data assets, or proprietary technology platforms.
