BlueStoneDesign

BlueStoneDesign builds websites, applications, and hosting setups from a base in Leipzig, working primarily with Joomla and WordPress as the underlying platforms. Rather than offering generic templates, the studio develops custom solutions on these systems, including its own Joomla real estate component, BSDimmo, paired with an OpenImmo XML interface that lets property websites sync automatically with a client's Makler (real estate agent) software.

Work spans design and development in one shop: user experience, front-end development, and graphic design feed into back-end builds on Joomla and WordPress, with attention to content management so clients can maintain their own information. The agency also builds cross-platform software reaching smartphones, tablets, and desktops, and folds SEO into the design process on the premise that a well-built site earns better ranking. Hosting is offered as a complete package covering webhosting, email, and domains, so clients are not left sourcing infrastructure separately.

Beyond initial builds, BlueStoneDesign supports clients with consulting and staff training on using Joomla and WordPress day to day, plus ongoing optimization, updates, and refactoring of existing sites. It also develops custom templates and extensions for both platforms when off-the-shelf options fall short, aiming to make each client's website distinct rather than interchangeable with a standard build.
