What ewerk does

ewerk GmbH is a Bremen-based internet agency founded in January 1999, operating as a subsidiary of the team neusta corporate group since mid-2017. The company delivers full-service web development for German-speaking enterprise and public-sector clients, spanning web design and development, UI/UX design, mobile applications for iOS and Android, database-driven web applications, e-commerce implementations on platforms such as Magento, and HbbTV/Smart TV application development. Its core proprietary product is evoPage CMS, a closed-source content management framework developed and maintained exclusively by ewerk developers since 2001 (currently in Versions 5 and 7), positioned as an alternative to Typo3 and WordPress with multilingual support, SEO tooling, caching, and extensions for shops, newsletters, and community features.

The company's customer base spans German public broadcasting (ARD Digital, NDR, rbb), publishing and federation clients (Deutsche Reiterliche Vereinigung, DLG-Verlag), logistics (Bundesvereinigung Logistik), automotive (Vierol AG), finance (Sparkasse Bremen), and e-commerce (Out of the Blue KG), among others. The firm positions itself as a pioneer in HbbTV development, with broadcast teletext-replacement applications reaching material end-user scale (rbbtext at ~2.6 million monthly impressions).

Revenue is generated through bespoke project-based professional services, evoPage CMS licensing and maintenance, and managed hosting. Distribution is entirely direct via contact forms and the parent group's referral network, with no third-party channels. The ewerk-specific team is small (~9 named staff), operating as a boutique subsidiary that draws scale, cross-referrals, and shared project capability from the broader team neusta group of 1,100+ employees across Bremen, Essen, Hamburg, Cologne, and Munich.
