Friendventure has built websites from Cologne since 2012 and now has 70+ staff across six German offices, so if you need an enterprise CMS site, SEO and long-term support from one German team, it covers the whole project. It works across WordPress, TYPO3, Storyblok, Webflow, Craft CMS and Contentful, and in September 2026 its founder Julian Hansmann launched the Friends Digital Group, six owner-run agencies with more than 150 people between them.

What Friendventure delivers

• Corporate websites and relaunches: concept, UX and UI design, front-end and back-end development, then maintenance after launch.
• Platforms and portals: recruiting portals and tariff calculators that hand over to back-end ordering systems.
• E-commerce: Shopware and Shopify shops.
• B2B online marketing: SEO and generative engine optimization, Google Ads, social ads, content and inbound marketing.
• Accessibility: accessible web design and audits.

The benefit for you is fewer handoffs: the same team plans the site structure from keyword research, designs it and builds interfaces to tools such as HubSpot, HR software or the d.vinci recruiting system. When a project grows beyond the website, it can bring in specialists from its five sister agencies in the group.

Friendventure projects

• ConVista: one WordPress site merging three former consultancies’ websites while a new corporate identity was being created, with custom filter functions and an interface to its HR system.
• ticket.io: a relaunch for the ticketing company with bold animated design, HubSpot integration and custom post types for news and careers.
• adidas INFINITE TRAILS: a mobile-first event site for the trail running championship in Gastein, built within a few weeks with the event agency Planet Talk.
• Mark-E: a Storyblok relaunch for an energy supplier with about 400,000 customers, including a tariff calculator that hands over to its online ordering.
• OM SYSTEM: a WordPress relaunch for the dictation brand with a dealer finder and demo booking as the main conversion points.

Its project list also names REWE Lieferservice, DHL Consulting, Conceptboard, KURZ, IW Consult and Deutscher Ärzteverlag. The agency says its REWE Lieferservice work won a German Web Award 2026 and that it is a TYPO3 Solution Partner.

Who Friendventure suits

Its case studies cover energy, food retail, healthcare, industry, professional services, the public sector and technology firms, mostly in Germany. Offices are in Cologne, Berlin, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart and Groß-Umstadt near Frankfurt, so you can usually meet the team in person. Relaunches like these run in phases from concept to launch; our guide to agile and waterfall methods explains how to agree that process up front.
