Owner-managed family business

A flat organisation in perfect harmony

The story of 48DESIGN - How it all began.

Bill Gates started in a garage, 48DESIGN in the basement of a former office. Two siblings who spent much of their free time on computers - nothing unusual in the mid-90s, when the digital revolution was just beginning. But from the very start, creativity was the driving force. As the Internet gained popularity, programming simple games quickly led to an interest in designing and developing websites. What initially served as a way to earn some pocket money soon took on professional dimensions. But the interests were diverse: music, photography, video editing, 3D modeling - making it difficult to focus on just one path. Was it even possible to bring everything together under one roof? With the founding of 48DESIGN in the summer of 2008, we set out to find out. A full-service agency run by just two people? That may sound bold, but it worked!

Today, 48DESIGN stands for creative design, well-thought-out solutions, and digital innovation. Over the years, the company has continued to evolve while always staying true to its original passion for design, technology, and innovation. The focus is not just on great projects but also on building strong and trusting relationships with our clients - a philosophy that has been at the heart of 48DESIGN from the very beginning.

Swapping urban noise for country air – A choice we don't regret!

After six years in the city centre of Karlsruhe we decided to move to a more rural area. After all, what is the point of large office spaces in the city when construction sites, congested streets and the ubiquitous noise make creative work virtually impossible? Many of our customers had never seen us in person anyway - some of them don't even know our voices - because our customer contact is mostly digital! So nothing changed for our existing customers. The e-mail addresses and telephone numbers remained the same, and if you are looking for a personal conversation, we will be happy to visit you on site thanks to our continued proximity to the city. In return, our creativity and energy received a boost - the perfect foundation for new projects!
