This is general information, not legal advice. Your legal adviser has the final word.
Accessibility (BFSG)
Since 28 June 2025, Germany's Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG), which implements the European Accessibility Act, sets accessibility requirements for many consumer services, such as e-commerce and consumer banking. We design to WCAG 2.2 AA and document accessibility decisions.
Official source: BFSG (gesetze-im-internet.de) ↗GDPR and the BDSG
The GDPR and Germany's Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) set the rules for personal data. We design forms, consent and privacy notices that are clear, and collect only the data a journey needs.
Official source: BDSG (gesetze-im-internet.de) ↗Berlin data protection authority
The Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information is the supervisory authority in Berlin and publishes guidance for companies, which we follow when designing consent and data flows.

Frequently asked questions
UI/UX design in Berlin: before you book a call.
Do you have a UI/UX design office in Berlin?
No. We have no office in Berlin. We serve Berlin from our office in Frankfurt (Taunustor 1, 60310 Frankfurt am Main), about 420 km away. Meet us in person at our Frankfurt office or at any of our 10 offices, or by video. Workshops, research sessions, design reviews and weekly check-ins run in English.
How much does UI/UX design cost in Berlin?
Pricing is custom. It depends on the number of journeys and screens, research depth, platforms, whether you need a new design system and your timeline. After a short brief and a free 30-minute call, you get a written estimate.
How long does a UI/UX design project take?
Typically: research and audit 1 to 3 weeks, structure and flows 1 to 2 weeks, prototype and testing 1 to 3 weeks, UI and design system 2 to 6 weeks depending on screen count. These are ranges, not guarantees.
What is the difference between UI and UX design?
UX design is how a product works: structure, flows and how easily people finish tasks. UI design is how it looks: layout, type, colour and components. We do both, starting with UX.
Will our design be accessible?
Yes. WCAG 2.2 level AA is our default target, specified in every design, which helps you meet rules such as the BFSG. Full conformance also depends on the build, so we review it with your developers.
Can you also build what you design?
Yes: our app development team can build it, or we hand over specs and design tokens to your developers and review the build with them. Projects are led by UnFoldMart from our international offices.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. Meet us in person at our Frankfurt office or at any of our 10 offices, or by video. Frankfurt is about 420 km from Berlin.
Can the first call be in German?
Yes. The free first call can be in German on our German page; project calls are in English. Designs can be delivered in German and English.
Does our product have to be accessible under the BFSG?
If your website or app is part of a consumer service the BFSG covers, such as e-commerce or consumer banking, accessibility requirements have applied since 28 June 2025. We design to WCAG 2.2 AA; your legal adviser confirms whether and how the BFSG applies to you.
Do you work with Berlin start-ups?
Yes. We can start with a UX audit or a tested prototype, then grow a design system as your product grows. You get a written quote after a short brief.
