UI/UX design in Cologne
Drinks retailers selling in returnable containers in Cologne put a particular demand on an interface, and it is this: grocery businesses with mixed-rate baskets. That is a design problem rather than a content one, and it is solved on the page rather than in the copy.
Grocery businesses with mixed-rate baskets
The way to answer it is with detail rather than tone.
A specific number, a named timescale or an honest limitation is read and believed; a paragraph of reassurance is skimmed and discounted, because every competitor has one of those too. Ossendorf industrial area is where a good deal of this sits in Cologne. The businesses there run on trade fairs and events, and that produces the requirement above as a consequence of how they sell rather than as a choice somebody made about the store. Accessibility comes with it rather than after it. Contrast, focus, labelling and heading order are decided while the page is being designed, and retrofitting any of them means revisiting the same decisions with less freedom and more cost. The design is finished when a stranger can answer that for themselves. grocery businesses with mixed-rate baskets has to be resolvable without contacting anybody, because a Cologne customer who has to ask will mostly not ask at all. They leave and buy from somebody who was clearer about it.
We have no office in Cologne. Our studio is in Rajkot, India, and every project here is delivered remotely — if a supplier who can attend your premises matters to you, that is a fair requirement and we do not meet it.

UI/UX design questions from Cologne
Three questions about the subject above. How we work, what it costs and who owns the code are answered on the service page.
Do you produce designs or build them?
Both, and they work better together. A design handed over without the build frequently arrives on the site as an approximation, and the details that were the point — spacing, states, focus, what happens on a narrow screen — are the ones that get lost in translation. The same goes for Cologne.
What do you need from us to start?
Access to what customers actually do, whatever form that takes, and half an hour with whoever answers the support messages. That second conversation is consistently the most useful part of the work, because complaints describe the interface more accurately than any brief does. That applies to a Cologne client exactly as it would anywhere else.
Will this work for our existing Cologne customers?
That is the right question, and it is why we look at what current customers do before changing anything. A redesign that improves things for new visitors and disrupts the people already buying is a net loss, and it is a common outcome when the existing behaviour was never examined. That is true of Cologne work too.
