Graphic design and concept

In addition to prepress data preparation, Kern GmbH offers comprehensive agency services – including the planning and conception of your print products, design and final artwork, as well as the structural design of self-mailers or POS display systems. We work strictly according to your corporate design guidelines and, if required, can create a completely new brand identity for you.

Accessible PDFs (PDF/UA compliant)

If required, we prepare your print data for cross-media use in multi-channel marketing: whether complete porting into common e-book formats or generating accessible PDFs according to the PDF/UA standard (ISO 14289) for web use. This ensures compliance with legal requirements for public operators under the BITV, while private providers also benefit from accessible PDFs. Technical access aids, such as dynamically reflowing text on mobile devices and interactive tables of contents, provide added value far beyond inclusion for visually impaired users. Moreover, accessible files are easier to find on Google.

Kern IT Services

Web Design & Development

Despite the many new online channels, the company homepage remains the primary point of contact on the internet. Whether as a product presentation, an information portal for customers, suppliers, or employees, a sales platform, or simply as a digital business card, it serves as a company’s digital flagship – practically independent of the industry.

Internet usage has changed drastically in recent years. While web design used to be limited to a few monitor sizes, today’s online offerings must be accessible across a wide range of devices. Websites must function perfectly regardless of resolution, orientation, or screen/window size. Responsive web design adapts to this user behavior. The website layout reacts to the output device, always displaying content optimally without compromising functionality – whether on a desktop PC, laptop, tablet, or smartphone.

From concept and design to programming, installation, and maintenance – we offer a comprehensive range of services for realizing a customized online presence. Additionally, if required, we can organize website hosting with an Internet Service Provider. Kern IT Services combines expertise in marketing, media design, and Information Technology (IT). We collaborate with expert partners to implement even the most demanding web projects.
