We've been quite busy the last few weeks

Christmas time always is a quite different time for all of us in Treppendorf. Hotline and logistics are working almost 24 hours a day, the local store  and even we, the webdevelopers, change our mode from "productivity" to "lean back, watch stats and don't fucking touch anything". We survived the whole christmas sale pretty good without any outage and so we went back to work, which is actually the reason why no one of us was able to write anything here.

There are a few upcoming projects that will still keep us quite busy this year, on top of all probably our new search engine (including a redesign of our search result page) and our new mobile page. We have improved our team and our new developer just finished his first big project, the new customer centre (which is going live on Monday).

And that's all? We'll, for the next few weeks, yes. Other upcoming projects are some other pages we lost on our redesign process last year like the category page, the basket and single elements on the product detail page. And still we have some secret projects to work on which are quite exciting (and bring some great benefits to our customers.. we'll talk about that later).

Oh wait, I almost forgot the most important task we're on right now: Finding things we want in our new office building which is being built as I write. German building laws prohibit a slide (not explicit; it's something about fire safety) and so we accepted the challenge to find other weird and funny things to put inside. If you have any great ideas, just let us know. And if you're interested, our social media guys post updates on our Facebook page regularly.


So long!
