  • Alexandra Berg
    For more than a year now, Mr. Ibe has been taking care of our marketing and we are very satisfied. The new website went online in a short time and the updates and optimization are noticeable. Especially nice are the numerous ideas and possibilities that Mr. Ibe explains to us in an understandable way. Legal aspects are also always considered and usually implemented even before official announcement. Consultation and support are therefore excellent. Communication is problem-free and tasks are usually completed on the same day. That's how it's fun. Thank you very much.

    The company Pictibe has redesigned the homepage of TuS Untereschbach-Steinenbrück 1910 e. V. After a short introduction, we were and are able to take over the ongoing maintenance of the website ourselves, and that at a convincing price-performance ratio. We are very satisfied with the work of Pictibe, as our wishes and specifications were reliably and quickly implemented not only on our website but also in our new flyers. We are happy to recommend Pictibe.

    Ein optimaler Kurs, um zu verstehen was entscheidend ist, vom ersten bis zum letzten Klick. In vielen frei verfügbaren Tutorials oder sogar kostenpflichtigen (Udemy), erfährt man meist das was man schon weiß… Die allgemein gültigen Hinweise, die allerdings nächste Woche schon wieder veraltet sind, oder so spezifisch dass sie bei eigenen Anwendungen nicht funktionieren. In diesem Kurs geht es um konkrete Hinweise und Tipps & Tricks die man nur in einer voll professionellen Agentur erfährt!! Das wonach jeder im Internet sucht gibt es hier, chronologisch, simpel erklärt und 100% anwendungsbezogen, live am Bildschirm!! Die simplen Erläuterungen und die gute Struktur des Kurses, lassen einen von Vorne rein eine detaillierte Übersicht über relevante Themen bekommen. Als ganz blutiger Anfänger ist das Thema FTP und Ordnerstruktur bzw.  HTML/CSS Basics ggfls. etwas kompliziert, aber längst nicht so fordernd wie die meisten YouTube Tutorials… Ein empfehlenswerter Kurs für jeden der Interesse an gutem Webdesign hat.

    After 2 years of doing everything ourselves, Mr. Ibe relaunched our shop and achieved better results in a short time. The support went far beyond the normal level. In addition to the excellent webshop definition and design, he also created great flyers, photos, and videos at short notice. He also laid the important foundations for a marketing concept for the newsletter. Since Mr. Ibe is always available at short notice to clarify open points and takes new approaches with his great ideas, we were able to expand our internet presence after only 3 months.

    With Pictibe, we conducted a workshop on online shops, SEO marketing, Google Analytics, Google AdWords, and social media. Mr. Ibe and Mr. Buks explained the aforementioned topics in a comprehensible and understandable way during the workshop, so that afterwards we had a better understanding of the online world. We worked concretely on our shop during the workshop and further optimized it. Mr. Ibe and Mr. Buks greatly impressed us with their expertise and pleasant manner. Our initial telephone impression of a reliable, professional collaboration was confirmed by the workshop. We look forward to continued cooperation and feel, after a short time, that we have found the right agency for us, one that thinks proactively, has a good workflow, and supports us with passion, expertise, and commitment.

    As a founder, pictibe advised me excellently and created a complete concept for the start at a fair price. In addition to logo design, business cards, letterhead and envelopes + stamp, an appealing website was programmed. The personal contact is still very pleasant and always open to suggestions. Price/performance is very good. Numerous people have already found me via Google, and some orders have also been generated through it.

    In 2011, pictibe created the homepage of the parents' initiative "Die Maulwürfe e. V." and implemented the association's requirements. The biggest challenge was to create a serious yet adequate page for a daycare center. Mr. Ibe solved this very well with the layout and image elements. The further maintenance of the page is the responsibility of the association. Many thanks for creating the page and also for the training in maintenance.

    For years we paid money to a company in Germany and success failed to materialize. In addition, the technical implementation before was more than questionable. Since we have been working with VASTCOB, we receive monthly feedback and statistics and a lot of inquiries. In all relevant searches we have moved far up and are not yet at the end. Highly recommended.

In an intensive, synergistic collaboration, a complete, consistent CD - print media with logo and slogan - up to web design, of high quality has been created. A recommendable advertising agency!

    Absolut zu empfehlen! Alles auf einen Blick. Kein zerstückelter Videokurs. Eine gute Investition! Ich suchte mir stets Tutorials und Videos zusammen, die mir Einblick in die richtige Installation von WordPress und Templates gaben. Da ich nicht regelmäßig Webseiten erstelle, vergesse ich das ein oder andere und suche dann wieder nach all den Videos und Tutorials – mühsam! Jetzt habe ich mich einfach entschlossen, diesen Kurs zu kaufen und bin positiv überrascht. Ich habe einen einzigen Link unter dem ich alle Videos auf einen Blick finde. Ich kann direkt zu dem Video gehen, dessen Thema ich gerade brauche – kein lästiges Zusammensuchen mehr! Nachdem ich den Kurs sah – ich habe mir direkt alles auf einmal angesehen 😉 – bin ich gleich meine Webseiten durchgegangen und habe banale Fehler korrigiert und einiges optimiert! Ich bin dankbar für diesen Kurs. Er ist sehr gelungen und zeigt die wichtigsten Grundlagen mit tieferen Einblicken am echten Beispiel, um Webseiten von grundauf sauber und solide aufzusetzen, zu pflegen und zu erweitern.

    As a hotel and restaurant, we depend on our external presentation. Florian Ibe has supported and advised us from the beginning and optimized and produced numerous print materials at fair prices. We found the idea with the films particularly excellent. That really made a difference. The website with its own booking system has particularly simplified our work. The work of pictibe is really good and we are very satisfied. The feedback from great films and photos is very good.

    WordPress FAQ – Questions & Answers from our WP Agency

    What is WordPress?

    The most successful content management system is WordPress, as 43 percent of all websites on the internet are based on this CMS. WordPress holds a 65 percent market share in the CMS market, followed by Joomla with 4.6 percent as the second strongest force. Previously, WordPress was a blog system; today, it can also be used to develop an online shop, an impressive company homepage, or an e-learning system. There are no limits.

    How does WordPress work?

    WordPress is a system that has a frontend (interface) and a backend (admin). A MySQL database is connected behind it, where, for example, all members, posts, and pages are stored. The output then appears in the browser, meaning the functionality is similar to any other content management system. However, there is one exception: WordPress is open-source; it does not need to be bought or rented, and anyone can continue to develop it.

    Who is WordPress suitable for?

    WordPress is suitable as a content management system for all those who need a maximally flexible system without high fixed costs. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a sole proprietor, a small or large company, or a non-profit organization. Everyone can benefit from the advantages of WordPress. As a WordPress agency, we always say: „Suitable for the small flower shop next door up to the globally operating stock corporation!“

    Who are the developers of WordPress?

    It was programmed starting in 2003 by Matthew Mullenweg as software for weblogs and is continuously developed as an open-source project (Source: Wikipedia). WordPress is continuously being developed by international and volunteer developers, which has led to the formation of a large community. The development is coordinated by the WordPress Foundation, which is based in San Francisco.

    What does WordPress cost?

    WordPress is an open-source project, licensed under the GNU General Public License. Consequently, no licenses need to be purchased, nor do you have to pay for its use. The only costs incurred will be for the domain and web hosting. Additionally, there may be costs for the service provider or WP agency.

    What makes WordPress different from other CMS?

    WordPress is successful due to various factors. When it launched in 2003, no one could have predicted that this CMS would make it difficult for all other systems. At that time, website builders or CMS like Joomla, Typo3, and Drupal dominated for years. That has changed. One factor for this was its user-friendliness; anyone could easily get started with it. The next step was its flexibility, as there are simply no limits to how a website can evolve. Being open-source, WordPress is also free – no license fees apply. This has led to a strong and international community that develops themes (designs) and plugins (extensions), which anyone can then use.

    What services does a WordPress agency provide?

    A WordPress agency is a service company that specializes in the CMS. The advantages are obvious, as the service provider knows how extensions are developed, what solutions there can be for potential problems, and what can make a difference in performance. In addition, other activities are carried out, such as content creation, search engine optimization, or system maintenance.

    What are the prices of a WordPress agency?

    A WordPress agency does not work for free; naturally, certain costs are incurred. However, the WordPress agency prices vary and depend on the scope of the project and the requirements. Every project is unique in a certain respect and needs to be understood – therefore, an impression must be gained before an offer is made. As an advertising and marketing agency, we offer fair package prices.

    How do I recognize a good WordPress agency?

    A „good“ WordPress agency is defined by seriousness, professionalism, and reliability. However, there are other aspects that must be included, especially when it comes to more complex tasks. Of course, you want to hire a WordPress agency that understands its craft. Direct accessibility must be guaranteed in case of a problem, and it is also important to find out how long the implementation will take approximately and what tasks or projects have been completed in the past.

    Who needs a WordPress agency?

    In principle, every company needs a WordPress agency. The reasons for this are obvious. Creating a website or an online shop is far from enough; ongoing maintenance is required, and design elements or extensions may need to be added, not everything is risk-free. Especially if the existence of the website depends on it, a WP agency should be commissioned right from the start.

    WordPress agencies help with conception, implementation, and subsequent maintenance. This not only involves the WordPress system itself but also extensions like WooCommerce. Often, agencies take on more of a consulting role in such cases, so direct access does not have to be granted. However, for highly complex systems such as an online shop or a job board, this is an advantage.

    What tasks does a WP agency perform?

    The tasks that a WP agency handles arise from the customer’s needs. Which services are implemented and which solutions are deployed depends on this. If it is mainly about WooCommerce, then there are WooCommerce agencies, which specialize specifically in this plugin. With us, you will find numerous videos and articles on WordPress and WooCommerce.

    However, WordPress is mostly covered as a complete package by agencies. The following services are usually standard:

    • WordPress development (programming)
    • WordPress web design
    • WordPress maintenance
    • WordPress security
    • WordPress search engine optimization (SEO)

    Then there are also agencies that have specialized even further. These include all those who primarily focus on interfaces or migrations. These are things that not every developer can implement.

    How can the competence of a WordPress agency be recognized?

    A professional WordPress agency always provides a complete package, such as web design, programming, security, and maintenance. Specializations, such as the previously mentioned interfaces, are usually not highlighted, as these activities are generally only requested by large companies, because implementation is not always easy and usually costs accordingly.

    Whether and when a WordPress agency is considered competent cannot be said across the board. Everyone has their own ideas and needs, which in turn result in completely different factors. However, one criterion can be determined in advance: It speaks for the agency if their website was also realized with WordPress, they can show references in this regard, and they also master the technical aspects of the website (checked via Google PageSpeed Insights).

    This specialization in WordPress makes the difference. There are numerous advertising agencies that also advertise that they implement WordPress projects. However, these are often not specialists, but agencies that quickly want new customers. This results in a higher average working time and, unfortunately, also dissatisfied customers.

    Do I need a regional agency?

    Definitely not, because all work is done remotely via email, ticketing system, Zoom and Zoom anyway. But if you are looking for a WordPress agency in Cologne or Munich, we are also on site. A frequently used search term here would also be WordPress Cologne. We then combine the strengths of a developer, the best web design, and the flexibility of a freelancer directly in one agency.
