Otherwise, he\u2019s sharp as a tack and the captain of the whole operation. In 2011, he set sail from his home port of Hamburg with Elbnetz, the WordPress agency. Since then, he\u2019s been on a mission to make the internet a better and more beautiful place for everyone with attractive, fully functional websites and online shops.<\/p>\n<p>Before Elbnetz, Thorsten Faltings worked as a consultant and was often astonished at how expensive and time-consuming it was whenever one of his clients tried to turn their then-bold idea into a live website \u2014 not to mention a simple online shop. After a project was completed, clients usually remained tied to a single agency for years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat has to work differently!\u201d thought the fabulous Faltings \u2014 and he got down to business: transparent projects for everyone involved, manageable budgets, and above all, independence for the website and shop owners. These principles remain the key ingredients behind the many successful projects of Elbnetz, the WordPress and WooCommerce agency from Hamburg.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"toggle-links align_none\"><button class=\"collapsible-content-more\">Read more<\/button><button class=\"collapsible-content-less\">Show Less<\/button><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_custom\" style=\"height:calc(var(--padding-section) * 2)\"><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_top type_default reversed stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-3\/5 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 id=\"Faltings\" class=\"vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading en_bigheading45 us_custom_cda6f729\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"marleen-krajnik\"><\/span>Marleen Krajnik<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_custom\" style=\"height:var(--padding-m)\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column en_grossertext with_collapsible_content\" data-content-height=\"150px\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>\u2026has been making the sun rise at Elbnetz every morning since 2019 with her radiance and ever-sunny disposition. Naturally, as our Good-Vibes Officer, she loves communicating with our clients (everyone else can talk too, but Marleen Krajnik just does it best). She was practically born online \u2014 she worked in online marketing before joining us and now considers WordPress and WooCommerce a kind of digital family she stays in close contact with. Luckily, the cosmopolitan Krajnik loves challenges of all kinds and developing the right strategies to tackle them \u2014 a little crazy and, at the same time, very endearing. When she\u2019s not delighting everyone with her personality, this modest and unpretentious screen designer spends her time at Elbnetz planning and executing website and WooCommerce projects, as well as writing CSS and programming code. Marleen Krajnik is a refreshing new addition to the Elbnetz crew, and she likes her clients just as much as they like her. And we like her. And she likes us.

She\u2019s been writing for as long as she can remember. It took a few detours before she turned her calling into a career, but now she\u2019s what you might call a master of words. What has always stayed with her is a love of the written word and the belief that every person and every company has a story worth telling. After countless websites, co-authoring several books, creating a board game, and many other naming and phrasing adventures, Anika von Keiser knows exactly how to shape ideas into words. The best part of any project, for her, is seeing the people she writes for touched by her texts \u2014 when they feel recognized and truly seen. Anika is thrilled to support Elbnetz with her copywriting \u2014 and, of course, to sneak in a few witty wordplays whenever she can.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"toggle-links align_none\"><button class=\"collapsible-content-more\">Read more<\/button><button class=\"collapsible-content-less\">Show Less<\/button><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator calc(var(--padding-section) * 2) size_custom\" style=\"height:calc(var(--padding-section) * 2)\"><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_top type_default reversed stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-3\/5 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 id=\"Faltings\" class=\"vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading en_bigheading45 us_custom_cda6f729\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"hans-juergen-polster\"><\/span>Hans-Juergen Polster<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_custom\" style=\"height:var(--padding-m)\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column en_grossertext with_collapsible_content\" data-content-height=\"150px\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>&#8230;is not the office dog you might think he is, but prefers to impress with his experience and skill rather than his looks (although he does have a very pretty back).
