Skills
We develop responsive, maintainable, fast and cutting-edge Frontend Experiences for the modern Web. To achieve these standards we make use of a broad spectrum of modern web technologies like Pug (HTML), SASS (+BEM), AngularJS, jQuery and professional workflow- & version-control tools like NPM, Gulp and Git.
We code native & fluid mobile Apps for iOS, Android and Windows using the popular Ionic Framework and its vast library of native PlugIns. This ensures great compatibility with OS native User Experience features and habits. All while maintaining the app through one codebase. From whiteboard to appstore - one seamless process.
We build Content Management Systems, serverside Software as well as Plugins & Themes for WordPress. We develop both classic solutions using PHP & mySQL and Progressive Web-Apps, SPAs and hybrid Apps using Realtime DB Systems like Firebase and MVC architecture style frameworks like AngularJS and Ionic.
Performance and the modern web go hand in hand. To create products that perform well on a multitude of devices & network conditions and thus enhance user experience, are standard work practice for us. Lightning fast above-the-fold loading, performance oriented workflow, GZIP- and CDN-Distribution of content are just some enhancements we implement.
We design clean, sophisticated and friendly user interfaces and build interactive prototypes using state-of-the-art design tools. By doing iterativ design, we keep the customer in the loop throughout the design process, so feedback can be discussed and implemented on a regular basis.
From concept to final print, we design digital and analog print products like posters, flyers, business cards and magazines. For that we use industry standard desktop publishing and typesetting software. To guarantee the best possible print quality, we directly hand over the files to the printing company.
Work
Collaboration made in Germany — in a team of two a platform for DRM-protected media management was conceptualized, designed and developed from A to Z. Built according to the strictest German data protection laws with the latest DRM technologies and persistent authentication. Collaborate securely — present your media: “Upload files, put together a show and share it with customers and interested parties using a special shareable link. You can combine different file types in one show and you always have control over who can view and comment on them.”
A hybrid app for iOS and Android is being developed on behalf of the Nationale Naturlandschaften e.V. This brings all German national parks, biosphere reserves, nature parks and certified wilderness areas in Germany to all common mobile devices. Based on latest technologies and with elements of “gamification”, a modern, beautiful, customizable and fast user experience is crafted. The main intention is to inspire younger target groups in particular for the topic of “national natural landscapes”. The app is connected to the existing WordPress backend of the website via REST API and GraphQL.

Testimonials
Magellan Code & Design Consulting supported the Inter Chalet Ferienhausgesellschaft mbH and Interhome AG in the web development of the new Interhome websites. Here, Mr. Arbely was instrumental in the design and implementation from the start, where he designed the home-, detail- and searchresult-page and made an essential contribution to the successful implementation of the project due to his permanent search for improvements (e.g. performance wise). Our front-end workflow could be adapted and optimized according to the recommendations made. We have benefited greatly from the extensive knowledge of the workflow with Gulp.js by Mr. Arbely. We would like to take this opportunity to thank him for the excellent and successful cooperation. We were very satisfied with the cooperation and the result.
