Full-Stack Developer & Design Lead at FUNKE Mediengruppe
As part of the migration from Shopware 5 to 6, it was decided to rethink the entire e-commerce landscape of the regional FUNKE online shops from scratch. The main goals, besides creating a reliable platform with multiple sales channels for each regional brand, were the "rebranding" and the brand development around it.
The rebranding was also transferred into the advertising materials CI, which in the daily newspaper sector, alongside digital performance ads, still has print as a strong focus in the target group segment.
My responsibilities/tasks in this project:
- Creating the UI design system
- UX research
- Prototyping
- Rebranding & creating the new CI manual across all regional shops
- Shopware 6 front-end & back-end development
- Design & creative lead
- Ad design, landing pages

About the role
What they build
Web developers turn product ideas into working sites and web apps. They build customer portals, landing pages, e-commerce flows, internal tools and content-heavy platforms. A strong freelancer can take a design, wireframe or product brief and turn it into clean, maintainable code that ships.
- Responsive front-end interfaces
- Back-end logic and APIs
- CMS-based websites and custom modules
- Performance fixes and bug cleanup
- Relaunches, refactors and feature upgrades
Core stack
Most projects need a mix of front-end and back-end skills. Common tools include JavaScript or TypeScript, HTML, CSS, React, Vue, Node.js, PHP, Laravel, WordPress, Shopify and REST or GraphQL APIs. For larger teams, Git, testing, CI and clean handover documentation matter just as much as the code itself.
When to bring one in
Companies hire freelance web developers when work moves faster than the in-house team can absorb. That often includes a new product launch, a redesign, a CMS migration, a broken checkout, a slow site or a backlog that needs to move now. In Germany, they are also useful when local teams need support in English and German across product, marketing and IT.
What good looks like
A strong web developer writes code that is easy to maintain, not just code that works today. They think about browser support, accessibility, page speed, security basics and how the site will be extended later. They ask the right questions about content structure, analytics, SEO needs and deployment before they start building.
Common specializations
Not every web developer does the same kind of work. Some focus on front-end implementation and UI detail. Others build back-end services, integrations or custom CMS logic. Many freelancers are full-stack and can handle a feature from database to browser.
- Front-end development
- Back-end development
- Full-stack delivery
- CMS and e-commerce work
- API integration
- Maintenance and support
How teams use them
Freelancers fit well when you need a specialist for a defined scope, a temporary gap in the team or extra delivery capacity without a long hiring process. They can work remote, hybrid or on site, depending on the project setup. For client-facing work in Germany, clear communication in English is often enough, but German helps when they coordinate closely with local stakeholders or editors.
Frequently asked questions
Not sure where to start with Web Developers? These answers cover the essentials.
A web developer builds and improves websites and web applications. That can mean front-end interfaces, back-end logic, CMS work, API integrations, checkout flows or performance fixes. On freelance projects, the scope is usually clear and tied to a launch, a redesign or a specific technical problem.
A strong web developer should be comfortable with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, plus at least one modern framework or back-end stack. Look for clean code, debugging skill, Git discipline and the ability to work from design files or product specs. They should also understand responsiveness, accessibility and basic SEO impact.
A front-end developer mainly focuses on the browser side, while a web developer may cover both the visible interface and the server side. A software engineer can work on many kinds of systems beyond the web. In practice, many freelancers use these titles loosely, so it is best to check the actual stack and deliverables.
A freelancer is often the better choice when the work is project-based, urgent or highly specific. For example, you may need help with a migration, a launch, a redesign or a technical backlog that your team cannot clear alone. A web developer on a freelance basis also gives you flexibility if the need is temporary or part-time.
Yes, remote work is very common for this role. A web developer can usually collaborate well through tickets, shared repositories, design tools and regular check-ins. If the work involves workshops, stakeholder alignment or content-heavy workflows, occasional on-site time in Germany can help.
The best fit is usually a project with clear digital output: a marketing site, an online shop, a portal, a redesign, a CMS migration or a custom feature build. A web developer is also useful for fixing inherited code, connecting systems through APIs and improving site speed or stability. If the work spans many product areas, a full-stack profile is often the safest choice.
Ask for examples that match your stack and project type, not just a long portfolio. A good web developer can explain trade-offs, show how they structure code and describe how they test and deploy changes. Strong candidates also ask smart questions about requirements, edge cases and ownership before they commit.
Freelance web developers should confirm the stack, the scope, who approves work and how deployment is handled. They should also clarify whether they own implementation only or also support design, content updates and maintenance. Clear boundaries avoid delays and make handover easier for both sides.
