The people behind HMH.

Who we are and how we manage your projects.

We are a personally managed TYPO3 agency from Hamburg. Project management, design and development work closely together at HMH. You have a dedicated contact and can clarify technical questions directly with those involved.

Who we are.

Hanseatic Media Harbour GmbH is a digital agency from Hamburg for web design, TYPO3 development and long-term support. Since 2020, we have been supporting companies and organisations with their websites. Our offering ranges from the compact company website to the platform with several languages, editorial teams and interfaces. We also take on individual improvements to existing TYPO3 websites.

Our team combines more than 30 years of experience with TYPO3. We deliberately concentrate on this system and know both its possibilities and the requirements that arise in long-term operation – from development to maintenance. We use artificial intelligence and automation where they offer a concrete benefit. If a simpler approach fits the task better, we recommend that.

Our clients include universities, chambers, cultural institutions, publishers, and industrial and trading companies. Part of this collaboration has existed since our agency was founded; a selection is shown in our projects.

As a Silver Member of the TYPO3 Association, we support the further development of the system we work with every day.

Who we are.

Your personal contact.

Tobias Preis accompanies your project from the first conversation into ongoing operation. As the central contact, he brings those involved together, keeps track of decisions and open points and makes sure that your requirements get from consultation to implementation without detours.

He began his professional career in 2008 with training as a media designer and first projects with TYPO3. He then worked for several years in Hamburg agencies as a graphic designer and front-end developer. The combination of design, technical implementation and structured project work shapes his work to this day.

In 2020, Tobias Preis founded Hanseatic Media Harbour GmbH and made this approach the basis of the agency. Design and technology are not considered separately at HMH, but are aligned from the start with your goals, your workflows and long-term operation.

  • Experience: working with TYPO3 since 2008
  • Responsibility: founder and managing director since 2020
  • Continuity: your contact in all project phases

Five principles you can measure us by.

These principles guide our decisions and the daily collaboration with you.

Tobias Preis remains your central contact from the first conversation into ongoing operation. For technical questions, you talk to the people working on the respective task as needed. One person coordinates everything.

We ask questions, check the available information and give reasons for our recommendations. If several paths are possible, we explain their advantages and disadvantages instead of presenting one solution as without alternative.

We raise recognisable risks, dependencies and possible additional costs early. We document services and time spent so that you can follow our billing and the current project status.

We use new technologies when they solve a concrete task better. In doing so, we consider not only the technical possibilities but also maintainability, costs and the people who will later work with the solution.

We do not plan digital solutions only up to publication, but also consider everyday editorial work, maintenance and later extensions. If you want ongoing support, we develop the platform further together along the agreed next steps.

Our team approach

A suitable team for your project.

The composition of the team depends on your task. We work with people whose way of working and professional strengths we know from many years of collaboration.

An experienced project team

For your project, project management, design and technical development work together. This also includes freelance specialists with whom we work regularly. We agree transparently with you who is involved and who takes on which tasks.

Coordination in the project

Tobias Preis coordinates those involved and keeps track of decisions and open tasks. You can discuss technical details directly with the responsible people without having to coordinate the whole team yourself.

The advantage in everyday work

Through long-term collaboration, we know your content, technical context and decision-making paths. New requirements are therefore easier to classify.

We document important decisions and processes. That way the knowledge remains accessible even when responsibilities change. Clear documents and targeted training make the handover to new participants easier.

Project management

Clearly structured. Reliably communicated.

We clarify responsibilities, plan manageable stages and record important decisions. How we organise your project and coordinate it with you is explained on the page about how we work.

Let us get to know each other.

Are you planning a new website, want to improve an existing one or change the agency looking after you? In the free initial consultation, you get to know how we work and discuss with us what you are planning.

Send us a short description and, for an existing website, the link. You do not need a finished concept for that.

Or arrange an initial consultation directly.
