Web Design, Local SEO and Software for Businesses in Cologne
We build websites, online shops and custom software that help Cologne businesses win customers locally. Contracts and invoices are issued by our EU company KORDEVO SOFT Sp. z o.o., with a written quote agreed before work begins.
Website development for Cologne businesses
Cologne is a busy, mixed economy: media companies, insurers, trade fair visitors, a lively restaurant scene and thousands of owner-run shops. For most of them, customers start on Google, compare a few options in seconds and call the business whose website and map listing look the most trustworthy.
Kordevo builds fast, mobile-friendly websites for Cologne businesses, with clear service pages, click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons, booking or order forms, and a Google Business Profile that matches the site. Content is written in German first, with English versions where your customers need them.
We are an EU software company based in Łódź, Poland, working with Cologne clients remotely without a local office. Every project has a written scope, a contractual delivery date and weekly progress reports, and at handover you receive the source code, admin panel and all accounts.
What drives business in Cologne
We plan each Cologne project around the sectors and districts that shape local demand.
Media and insurance
Cologne is home to broadcasters WDR and RTL and to a strong insurance sector. Agencies, brokers and consultancies here need clear service pages, trustworthy credentials and simple quote forms rather than flashy effects.
Trade fairs and Carnival
Koelnmesse events and the Cologne Carnival season bring large visitor peaks. Hospitality, retail and event businesses benefit from seasonal landing pages, online ordering and booking flows that are ready before demand arrives.
Diverse neighbourhood retail
From Ehrenfeld to Mülheim's busy Keupstraße, Cologne has many dense retail strips where similar businesses sit side by side. Standing out on Google Maps requires accurate categories, fresh photos and consistent reviews.
The wider Rhineland
Cologne sits in a connected region with Bonn, Leverkusen and Düsseldorf. If you serve several cities, dedicated service-area pages help you appear in searches across the whole region.

Legal and practical notes for Cologne websites
Impressum and GDPR
German commercial websites need an Impressum (section 5 DDG), a GDPR-compliant privacy policy and cookie consent under the TDDDG. Missing information can lead to costly warning letters from competitors, so we implement these carefully and recommend legal review.
Accessibility requirements
Since June 2025 the Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) applies to many online shops and consumer-facing digital services. We assess these requirements at the start of every e-commerce project.
Invoicing and VAT
Invoices are issued by KORDEVO SOFT Sp. z o.o., an EU-registered company. German businesses with a VAT ID are generally invoiced under the EU reverse charge mechanism, with payment milestones set out in the quote.

How much does a website for a Cologne business cost?
The cost of a Cologne business website depends on the number of pages and languages, features such as online ordering or booking, and how custom the design needs to be. After a free consultation we write down the scope and, for clearly defined projects, send a written quote within 24 hours with no hidden extras later.
How can a shop in Cologne get more customers from Google Maps?
A shop in Cologne gets more Google Maps visibility by keeping a complete Google Business Profile in the right category that matches its website's name, address and phone number exactly. We add fresh photos, opening hours, service pages and a review request routine, then report progress. We do not guarantee rankings.
Is an Impressum mandatory for a website in Cologne?
Yes, every commercial website in Cologne and the rest of Germany needs an Impressum, together with a GDPR-compliant privacy policy and cookie consent where required. Gaps can trigger paid warning letters from competitors. We build these pages and the consent setup technically and recommend having the legal texts reviewed.
Can you build an online ordering system for a Cologne restaurant?
Yes, we build commission-free online ordering and table reservation systems for Cologne restaurants that run on your own website. You manage the menu in your admin panel and receive orders by email or messaging notifications. Payment methods common in Germany can be integrated, and scope and pricing are documented in the quote.
Do you build client management software for insurance brokers in Cologne?
Yes, we develop software for Cologne insurance brokers and agencies that brings renewal reminders, quote requests and client notes into one dashboard. Data is hosted on EU servers in line with GDPR. We start by mapping your current workflow and then deliver in scoped phases.
Should my Cologne website target Bonn and Leverkusen as well?
If you also serve Bonn, Leverkusen or Düsseldorf, your Cologne website should include a separate service-area page for each city with genuinely local content rather than copied text. We also define service areas in your Google Business Profile, which helps you appear in searches across the Rhineland.
