Company

> Mission

Frontwerks creates clarity. We are an agency focusing on information design and technology.

It is our quest to find and communicate insights from data using the latest knowledge from neuropsychology, design and information technologies.

Our visualizations and applications provide an exceptional information experience.

> History

Finding new ways to communicate taking advantage of the latest user interface technologies has been our business since 1998. As a result of large data analytics and simulation projects, we started to automate the visualization of the results before the term ‘data visualization’ was even born. For the last 15 years, we have been developing high-end custom-made dashboards with AI and web information platforms.

Today, as information overload is omnipresent, our long-lasting expertise in communicating complex information effectively sure pays off in many different projects and in new user paradigms such as Pointcast.io.

The founders, Rainer Matthias Lang and Gabrielle Lang always strove to provide exceptional solutions together with their team of specialists. We find new ways to reach and engage different audiences.
