Kenn Hartwig Web Development

Berlin-based web developer working with architects, artists, cultural institutions, and creative professionals who appreciate thoughtful, individual design.

I create custom websites that reflect each client's unique character. Rather than wrestling with rigid templates or generic themes, I write modern, hand-crafted CSS to ensure your site looks and feels exactly right. Clean code, fast loading times, and solid SEO fundamentals come as standard.

From portfolio sites to complex project databases with filtering systems, to online shops – I focus on building what you actually need. Each project is approached individually, whether it's a minimalist gallery or a comprehensive e-commerce solution.

I primarily work with Contao CMS for content management, static site generators for optimal performance, and Shopify for online retail. With over 15 years in web development, I understand both the technical and practical sides of running a website.

Happy to work independently or collaborate with your design team. Based in Berlin, available for projects internationally.

Music

I am an active musician playing music somewhere between Experimental Jazz and Krautrock. I play bass and electronics, mostly Nintendo Gameboys which I modded to use them as instruments. Check out my bands C.A.R. and Das Ende Der Liebe.
