Success stories of our customers
roastmarket
Roastmarket is an online marketplace specializing in premium coffee, espresso machines, and accessories, offering a wide selection of products for coffee enthusiasts.
We handled the heavy lifting for a global re-platforming project, transitioning from Magento 1.x to a new headless solution based on Alokai (formerly known as Vue Storefront) and Adobe Commerce.
Technologies used:
Asphaltgold
Asphaltgold is a renowned sneaker retailer based in Germany, celebrated for its curated selection of trendy footwear and streetwear brands.
During their migration from Magento 1.x to headless Magento 2.x, they faced the issue of the native Magento REST API being relatively slow. We replaced it with our middleware layer, which mitigated the performance problems.
Technologies used:
Omnidrive
Omnidrive is a cryptocurrency exchange, offering secure buying and selling with low fees, alongside merchant API solutions for Bitcoin payments.
We have developed an advanced dashboard for currency exchange, complemented by several back-office systems to enhance operational efficiency and provide users with a seamless trading experience.
Technologies used:
benuta
Benuta, the largest online rug retailer in Europe, originated in Germany. With a broad selection of products and a user-friendly online shopping experience, it has gained a significant market share and established a strong reputation throughout the European market.
During our long-term partnership, we revamped their online shop by replatforming from Magento to Adobe Commerce Cloud and then upgrading their front end to a composable solution using Nuxt.js, Vercel, and Contentful.

our approach
"Web development projects can be complex and challenging, often leading to delays, budget overruns, and unsatisfactory results. But it can be absolutely different with a seasoned custom web application development company that provides professional custom web development services."
Tim Bezhashvyly
CTO of hidden hint
Small Team,
Big Impact
We believe that being small gives us an edge. In a world where tasks are often handed off to juniors, we take pride in our hands-on approach. Every project is led by one of our directors, ensuring you get top-tier expertise from start to finish. Our CTO also regularly trains our developers to continuously improve the quality of our work. In our team he is not just a manager, but the leader who is making changes by his own example in coding and clients treatment.
Customer-Centric
Development
Like you, we’re committed to making your customers happy. We believe that development should not only enhance your business but also deliver real value by increasing your profits. We design solutions with your customers in mind, ensuring they have the best experience possible.
No
One-Size-Fits-All
Every business is unique, and so are our solutions. We know that what works for one company might not work for another. That’s why we take the time to understand your specific needs and craft solutions tailored to your business.
Seamless
Integration
Our strength lies in making complex things simple. Whether it’s integrating a new CRM, ERP, or any other system, we ensure that everything works together smoothly, so your business runs like a well-oiled machine.
Long-Term
Partnerships
We’re in it for the long haul. We don’t believe in quick wins or temporary fixes. Our approach is all about building long-term relationships, where we continue to support and grow with you as your business evolves.
Ethical and
Responsible
We proudly support local Swiss businesses and stand firm in our values. We’re also steadfast partners of Ukraine, condemning Russia’s military aggression and refusing to work with projects that haven’t exited the Russian market. Our work is driven by a commitment to integrity, responsibility, and making a positive impact.
