Custom, not
one-size-fits-all

I build websites, software and AI solutions for businesses and freelancers who want something of their own, that belongs to them instead of renting it forever. No website builder, no licensing trap. Technically clean and GDPR-compliant from day one. Honest advice, not sugar-coating.

What I do

Three tools.
One result.
Web

Web development & design

New websites from the ground up: concept, branding and build from one hand. Fast, GDPR-compliant, no website-builder look. Or an outdated Wix/WordPress site modernised into a lean, static solution. I'll tell you honestly what actually fits.

Software

Software development

Custom tools and apps that belong to you. No monthly licence, no lock-in. From cross-platform apps (Mac/Windows/Linux) to searchable knowledge bases over large amounts of data. First understand what it has to do, then build it.

AI

AI integration

AI where it genuinely helps: chatbots, chat and phone assistants, searchable knowledge bases, automated workflows. Inside software I build for you, or as a separate layer over your existing system. AI as a tool, not as an end in itself.

About me

Hi, I like building things
that truly belong to you.

Daneel is my one-person studio in Uslar, in the Göttingen, Kassel and Hannover region of Germany. I build websites, software and AI solutions for businesses and freelancers who want something of their own. No website builder, no licensing trap.

You talk directly to the person who builds. No account manager, no waterfall. First we clarify what's actually needed, including scope and cost; then I build it. No over-engineering, no nasty surprises at the end.

I'm just getting started: early projects come at reduced rates, in exchange for honest feedback and permission to show the result. The care that goes in stays exactly the same.
  • Understand first, then build
  • Fixed price, clear scope
  • What's built belongs to you
Let's talk
