cobicon: website for an SAP consultancy in Mannheim

For the Mannheim SAP consultancy cobicon, I built a website whose look & feel and headings come from the world of gaming: ‘Level up your Business’. Inside are the services, from SAP BW/4HANA to SAP Analytics Cloud, expert articles and careers, in German and English.

SAP consultancy from Mannheim, with a gaming-inspired look

cobicon from Mannheim advises on all things SAP: from S/4HANA and SAP Analytics to Commodity Risk Management, custom developments and AI solutions. An SAP consultancy where video game tournaments are part of team life – and you can tell from the website.

Why a game?

The headings on the home page read ‘Level Up your BUSINESS’, ‘Less Risk More Fun’ and ‘Ready Player 2?’. The visual language works with triangles reminiscent of a play button, plus dark surfaces and gradients in blue and violet, like a game menu.

And the game is more than decoration: it makes a fairly dry subject approachable and shows straight away what kind of team is behind it. Anyone who lands on the site knows within a few seconds that the people here take their work seriously, but not themselves too seriously.

Plenty of technical content, clearly organised

Behind the game there’s a lot of specialist content: a large menu leads to the service pages, from SAP BW/4HANA and SAP Datasphere to SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Fiori. Then there are the expert articles under ‘Insights’ and a team page. All of it in German and English.

Careers like a role-playing game

The careers section picks up on the theme again. It begins with ‘You must gather your party before venturing forth’, followed by the benefits described as ‘Legendary loot’, the vacancies ranging from junior consultancy roles to executive assistant positions, and short videos in which the team introduces themselves.

Online since 2023

The site was built at stark.marketing from May 2023 and was online by September 2023 at the latest. Since then, more services have been added, such as Non-SAP Analytics with Microsoft Azure in 2024, Custom Development and Clean Core in 2025 and, most recently, AI Solutions.

Web design in Heidelberg

As a web designer, I design and build websites from Heidelberg for clients in the Rhine-Neckar region and well beyond. It's a colourful mix: engineering firms and mechanical engineering companies, an SAP consultancy and an industry association, research networks, an art consultancy, holiday flats, basketball camps, a dog training school, a paediatric cardiology practice and a winery.

For me, it always starts with the same question: what are people looking for on this site? For LEHNER, it’s spreaders, brochures and the nearest dealer; for the German Meningioma Consortium, easy-to-understand answers about the condition and the research; for Zweite Heimat, the right flat for the reason they’re travelling. The result is clear, calm pages, on a phone just as much as on a big screen.

On the technical side, I work with WordPress or Astro. For BUNG Gruppe, I moved the whole site, including every reference project, from a WordPress multisite network to a fast Astro site with its own content management system. Ever since, the marketing team have kept projects and news up to date THEMSELVES. Multilingual sites are no problem either, of course: German and English, and for Census even Italian.

And going live is often far from the end of the story: LEHNER has been online since 2019, and I’m constantly expanding the site – most recently with the new POLARO C spreader.
