Liechtenecker

What Liechtenecker does

Liechtenecker GmbH is a Vienna-based Digital Design & Tech Studio (Austrian GmbH, founded 2009) that provides integrated UX design, digital product development, and frontend/backend development services to Austrian and European clients. The firm operates with a small team of 1-10 employees and serves a diversified portfolio across cultural institutions (Belvedere, Wiener Staatsoper, Kunsthistorisches Museum), insurance (Wiener Städtische), standards bodies (GS1 Austria), healthcare (Austrian Chamber of Pharmacists, Imaging), manufacturing (JOSKO, Swarovski Optik, AVL), vocational training (BFI NÖ, AK NÖ), and EdTech (Lingvano).

The company's core technology stack centers on Vue.js for web applications and Drupal CMS for complex website projects, with measurable outcomes from multivariate testing methodologies (e.g., 250% conversion lift on GS1 Austria's GTIN/EAN page, 40% year-over-year contract completion increases). Proprietary assets include the ENJIN modular dashboard framework for enterprise intranets and the LAP Buddy digital exam preparation app.

Revenue is generated through four streams: project-based digital product development (hourly or fixed-fee), UX and product strategy consulting, a monthly UX subscription retainer (UX-Abo) offering 2 sprints per month of continuous optimization, and a support retainer (Betreuungspauschale) of 10 hours/month. The GTM motion is sales-led and consultative, driven by content marketing (blog, case studies, newsletter, podcast), SEO, and direct email inquiries. Distribution is entirely direct, with no marketplace or partner channel.
