Gig Dich!

Which bands play today, this week or next month in your area? GigDich.de answers this question in an elegant fashion and provides you with detailed information on gigs and bands. It is a place for bands to promote themselves and their gigs, as well as for fans to gather and share their excitement about upcoming events.

Martin Renner from the a capella band mundARTmonika had the vision, Patrick Stadler put it into graphics and I made it ready for and deployed it on the internet.

ChillClub

On ChillClub.net you can aggregate videos from popular video portals like YouTube, DailyMotion, Clipfish, Hobnox and many more to create your personal video diary, talk to other chill-clubers in various forums and comment on their videos. The best videos are promoted by a bunch of moderators and shown on the home page. If you are living in Heilbronn and its surroundings check out the concerts page for the latest events in the area.

The original idea was from Daniel Knauer, Patrick Stadler made the design and I developed it.

Cubemania

Community portal for Rubik’s Cube addicts. You can stop and submit times, organize them in various categories, keep track of your progress with a neat chart, compare yourself with other cubers and much more.

It was designed by Patrick Stadler and coded by Tim Habermaas, who happens to be a Rubik’s Cube addict himself and world record holder in the category multiple blindfolded, and me, of course.

Funky Fresh

Website for Funky Fresh, an indie pop and rock band from Germany. Its intuitive administration empowers the band to regularly add new content.

Patrick Stadler did the design, I the code.

Aritzona

Portfolio of the German artist Stefan ‘Aritzona’ Hans with a dusky charm. It has an extraordinary navigation, adaptive multi-column texts and can be viewed full-screen. Although it’s Flash it supports browser history and bookmarking, and is search engine friendly.

Patrick Stadler

Online business card for the web- and print-designer Patrick Stadler with whom I had the honor to work with on various websites including aritzona.de and demonstriere.de.

Helmut Lang

Highly interactive website of the fashion label Helmut Lang with its latest and former collections. Men and women lines are presented as simple look book, interactive look challenge or video collage. Campaign images are shown in an adaptive grid. Stores can be viewed three-dimensional. Despite its use of Flash all content is found by search engines and the back and forward buttons work seamlessly.

I implemented the front end in Flash with Martin Heidegger for Buero New York.

demonstriere!

demonstriere! is a portal for politically active people in Germany. Various organizations introduce themselves, post news on the latest occurrences and list their demonstrations. Visitors easily get an overview of the political diversity in Germany, have their personal overview of demonstrations they want to participate in and can take part in interesting forum conversations.

Evangelical Early Work

Online editable internet presence of the evangelical early work in Obereisesheim with DokuWiki as backbone. Every aspect of the content is fully editable for logged-in users with the appropriate rights. The website keeps track of changes making it possible to restore old revisions. Files like images or PDFs can be uploaded and managed within the browser.

The design was made in close collaboration with members of the early work. Realization of the design in HTML and CSS, implementation of the dynamic features in JavaScript and integration and tweaking of DokuWiki were done alone.

Algorithms and Data Structures

Algorithms and Data Structures is a community founded by Tim Habermaas and me. We developed the community’s home from scratch. Members can write their own articles, add new algorithms and data structures and get in contact with each other. The community’s aim is to be a platform to bring developers together, encourage them to talk about algorithms and data structures and learn from each other, and to be a complete reference of proven and new algorithms and data structures.

Simon Wacker

My own playground that informs about my professional and personal life, shows how to get in contact with me, features useful articles on and tutorials about my latest projects and experiments and keeps everyone up-to-date with my recent thoughts and visions on programming.

Tg3g5

Portal for grade 3g5 of the technical grammar school to make it peanuts for classmates to stay in touch. A forum helps to keep conversations between the classmates active, private messages can be written for personal contact, every member has a profile to keep his contact information up-to-date, emails to all members can be sent from within the portal and it is simple to keep track of past and future class reunions.

Flik-Flak

The juggling group Flik-Flak made up of the three agents Felix Häffner, Martin Renner and myself showcases its new performance Agents 2010 with an interactive website that has serious and funny look and content.

Martin had the ideas, Felix made the design and I realized it.

Hotel Lamm

Website of the hotel and restaurant Lamm with a simple and clear design that represents the charisma of the establishment. It is guaranteed to be accessible from everywhere and viewable in any browser. As special feature rooms can be booked directly from the internet.

SOSHq

The affiliated group SOSHq needed a professional and friendly web presence that facilitates the company’s philosophy. Frequently changing pages are online editable and SOSHq sells and manages products online with its own internet shop.

Website and shop were developed with HTML, CSS and JavaScript in the front end, PHP in the middle tier and a MySQL database as backend.

Winery Schropp

With its new homepage the winery Schropp keeps customers up-to-date with the latest vines in stock, presents its calendar online and attracts new customers who can easily find the winery with search engines like Google.
