Team

ElefantEins was founded in Cologne by Max Hartung. It started with a simple observation: most websites from established B2B service providers show what a company does—but they don’t sell their service in an attractive, compelling offer. As a result, they’re clunky, hard to understand, and invisible to customers—and just as invisible to Google as it is to the new generation of AI search. That’s exactly where ElefantEins comes in. We don’t sell web design and SEO as a checklist of features. We sell a result: more qualified inquiries. That’s why every project doesn’t begin on a screen—it starts in conversation, with a strategy workshop that clarifies who the real customer is, what language they speak, and which questions make their decision difficult. From there, we create an SEO and GEO audit that shows where the real demand is—and then build a website to capture it: strategically structured, technically clean development with Statamic, Tailwind, and WordPress, and written to understand the user—not just impress them. ElefantEins works with a single point of contact and a fixed price—by design. Our clients are mid-sized, often owner-led B2B service providers who have already proven they’re good and now need a website that finally shows it clearly. The goal is always the same: a website that doesn’t just look good, but works as a sales channel. Visibility and strategy—with a system—that’s ElefantEins.

Working with Max is super easy and pleasant. He’s straightforward, his expertise is absolutely top-notch, and he’s always friendly. I’m really happy with his work. Thanks, Max!!

Thank you so much, Teresa! I really enjoyed your review :)
1. Max rolled out the relaunch of our firm’s website with confidence. Service and friendliness were the deciding factors—and our clients clearly find the new site noticeably better than the old one. Strong recommendation for colleagues. 2. I wasn’t happy with our previous website: it was outdated, didn’t feel very appealing, and I had the impression it would lead to fewer inquiries in the medium term. Max rebuilt it pragmatically and reliably. What really won me over was the personal service and friendliness throughout the entire project. I’d gladly recommend him to colleagues.
I’ve been working with Max Hartung for quite some time now, and I can wholeheartedly recommend him. He analyzes challenges very closely, looks into every detail, and consistently delivers convincing results. That combination of carefulness and reliability is exactly what I value most about him. Thank you for the excellent collaboration, Max—and I wish you continued success.

Hi Johannes, thank you so much for your kind review. It really means a lot to hear that. Looking forward to working together again :)
I just worked with Max from Elefanteins on a project for my company. Throughout the entire process, he listened carefully and was very proactive. Max was always available and accommodating, adapted well, and came up with lots of great ideas. Working with him was a real pleasure. He translated my requirements into a functional, dynamic website that reflects my work perfectly. The pricing is in line with the quality of the service. I would highly recommend Elefanteins for their professionalism, expertise, and capabilities. Thanks again!
A huge thank-you to ElefantEins for our new website! Before working together, our biggest problem was that we were basically invisible on Google and the like. Fewer and fewer inquiries came in through the website, and our visibility kept steadily dropping. Outdated design, outdated content—we knew a website relaunch that included search engine optimization was necessary. Max convinced us with his complete package of a strategy workshop and an SEO audit. You’re guided really well through the entire project, and we could always reach Max. What was especially valuable for us—along with the new web design—were the insights from the workshop: a much better understanding of our customers, how to approach them effectively, build trust, and communicate authority through a website. Things have improved significantly since then: our SEO visibility is increasing again, and we’re getting more inquiries through the website. In short: thank you, Max and ElefantEins. We’d be happy to recommend you—very much. 🙂

Thanks so much for your kind review. That’s exactly how it should be—glad to see the added value is already making a difference.
Es gibt wirklich nur wenige, die Design und die Umsetzung von Websites so virtuos beherrschen wie Max. Ich bin selbst tief im Thema Websites und Webshops drin, aber was Max für seine Kunden zaubert, ist nochmal um ein Vielfaches besser. Er findet heraus, was der Kunde wirklich vorhat, und gießt das dann in eine richtige Kunden-Gewinnungs-Maschine, in Form einer Website. Ich würde sogar noch mehr Sterne vergeben, wenn ich könnte!
I can only recommend Max Hartung from ElefantEins. From the very first meeting, Max took the time to get to know me, my business, and what I wanted—so he could understand who I am, what my practice represents, and where I want my journey to go. He built me a really beautiful website that’s genuinely easy and clear for me to use. The whole process with him helped me reflect on myself and my business in a much more detailed way. Max is absolutely professional in what he does and every cent is worth it. He doesn’t just create a new website—he offers so much more. ElefantEins is an absolute value-add. I’m grateful for this collaboration and I’m looking forward to being supported and guided by him going forward. THANK YOU, MAX!!!

Hi Eva, what a lovely, great review. Thank you so much for that. It was an honor :)
