The people behind DigitalForgeNetwork.
DigitalForgeNetwork started the way most honest studios do: with one too many bloated agency invoices and a better way of working sketched on the back of an envelope. Founder David Patrick Meels had spent years building systems inside larger teams and kept seeing the same thing — clients paying for process, not progress.
We build the way we'd want to buy: scoped clearly, priced honestly, and handed over in a state you can actually maintain without calling us back every week.
We're based in Mönchengladbach, and most of our work never sets foot in an office — we build for businesses across Germany and further afield, entirely online, start to finish.
David Patrick Meels
"I still write the first line of every project myself."
Nils Brauer
"If it can't survive a traffic spike, it's not finished."
Carla Diekmann
"Obsessed with the details nobody notices until they're missing."
What clients say once the invoice is paid.
"They integrated our three legacy systems into one clean API layer — no downtime, no drama."
"Fixed pricing, real documentation, a team that actually answers emails."
"David's team rebuilt our checkout in two weeks flat. Zero bugs at launch."
"We needed one integration fixed — not a retainer. That's exactly what we got."
