01 /The approach

Good design draws you in.
Good engineering takes you further.

Your website should do more than look good. It should explain what makes you different, be discoverable and turn interest into an enquiry. I bring design, development and visibility together to make that happen.

02 /Work

Designed. Built.Out in the world.

Selected work. Real requirements, concrete solutions and a look at the result.

What your nextstep needs.

Four services. One point of contact. We start where it makes the greatest difference for your business.

01

Web design & development

From the first idea to launch

A website that does not just exist but works: gets found, gets understood, brings enquiries. Built by one person, from structure through design to code — nothing handed on, no middle step.02

Website redesign

Make what exists work better

Not everything has to go. Often the structure stands and what is missing is everything else: the look, the load time, the way it behaves on a phone. That can be reworked without starting from zero — faster and cheaper than a rebuild.03

Automation

Less routine. More room to grow.

Every business has three to five steps that come back every week and belong to nobody. Typing out quotes, reminding people of appointments, sorting enquiries. Those can be handed over — not to a person, but to a process that works the same way every time.04

SEO & AEO

For search and clear answers

Sometimes the site is fine and nobody finds it. Then nothing needs rebuilding. Visibility is its own job: being understood by Google — and by now just as much by the answer engines more and more people use instead of a search.

06 /How it works

Clear process.Personal contact.

  1. 01

    You tell me

    A short email or one phone call. I want to know what bothers you, not which technology you have in mind.

  2. 02

    I tell you what is possible

    Within 24 hours: a fixed price rather than a timesheet, how long it takes, whether it is worth it. Including when the answer is no.

  3. 03

    You see it first

    A first draft before you commit, if you want one. If you do not like it, you have lost nothing.

  4. 04

    It runs and stays looked after

    Built, shipped, monitored. If something breaks, you write to me instead of a hotline.

07 /FAQ

Good questions.Straight answers.

The essentials before our first conversation.

What does Hareb Digital do?

Hareb Digital is Issa Hareb’s independent digital studio in Essen, Germany. Services include bespoke websites, website redesign, technical search engine optimisation (SEO), Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and automation of recurring workflows.

How much does a website cost?

The cost depends on the number of pages, design and functionality. After an initial conversation, you receive a proposal with a defined scope and a fixed price. A blanket figure without understanding your project would not be useful.

How long does a website take?

A landing page usually takes two to three weeks; a multi-page website four to eight weeks. The schedule depends on content, functionality and feedback and is agreed before work starts.

What is the difference between SEO and AEO?

SEO helps search engines find, understand and match pages to relevant searches. AEO makes information clear for answer systems, using direct answers, consistent business details and appropriate structured data. Rankings and mentions in AI answers cannot be guaranteed.

Do you only work with businesses in Essen?

The studio is based in Essen and also works remotely with businesses elsewhere. Planning, design reviews and discussions can all happen online.

Can my existing website be preserved?

Yes. A redesign begins by reviewing which content, URLs and features should be retained. Useful elements are reused, and necessary URL changes are planned with redirects.
