What nullnulleins does

nullnulleins GmbH is a Bern-based custom software development consultancy operating as a single-person GmbH founded by Higi Bigler in 2010. The company delivers bespoke software solutions rather than off-the-shelf products, with every engagement including technical documentation. Services span dynamic websites, web applications, graphical user interfaces, and technical interfaces (CORBA, XML, JSON). The founder acts as sole point of contact for all client work, with design and visual capabilities outsourced to two external partners (atelier arbre and Lorenzo Conti).

The technical foundation is the proprietary 'glorya' CMS and application framework, developed continuously since 2001 on a LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) with supporting expertise in Java, C#, JavaScript, and SQL. Glorya underpins all client projects and supports a range of specialized modules including member management with QR-code check-in, event administration, automated billing, online payment processing, role-based access control, and document management. The firm has built a portfolio of 50+ projects primarily for Swiss cultural-sector and nonprofit clients, including long-running engagements for SONART (musicians' association), Stiftung PROGR (artist studio house), bee-flat (concert venue), Suisseculture Sociale (emergency aid), and Helvetiarockt.

Commercially, nullnulleins operates as a domestic Swiss professional-services firm with direct, founder-led client engagement in the Bern region and broader German-speaking Switzerland. Revenue is generated through project-based bespoke engagements with no public pricing, no product licensing model, no external funding, and no expansion beyond Swiss borders. Marketing relies on the public website portfolio rather than formal sales channels. The company's customer base is concentrated in a narrow vertical — Swiss cultural and nonprofit organizations — making it a niche specialist with deep sector knowledge but limited addressable market reach.

Others

• Hostpoint: Swiss web hosting provider that supplies infrastructure to many of nullnulleins' clients (e.g., Stiftung PROGR). An ecosystem partner/adjacent provider rather than a direct competitor, but indicative of the broader Swiss SMB web services stack.

Emerging players

• Wix.com: Global SaaS website builder that competes with nullnulleins at the low end—SMBs and cultural organizations can self-serve with Wix templates instead of commissioning custom builds, potentially eroding the addressable market.
• Squarespace: Hosted website builder targeting creative professionals, artists, and small organizations—precisely the segments nullnulleins serves. Represents a self-service alternative to custom development.
