Hamburg is Germany's second-largest city and its most internationally-oriented.
The Hanseatic city's identity as a global trading hub — built over centuries of commerce through Europe's busiest port — has shaped a business culture that thinks internationally as a matter of course. Hamburg hosts the German headquarters of major global brands, a significant media and advertising industry (German TV networks, major publishing houses, international agencies), and a creative scene that draws from the city's cosmopolitan character.
Hamburg's web design agencies reflect this outward-looking character. Expect polished, internationally-capable work.
