The next generation of our cloud software is in the starting blocks! Cloud Software 4 makes everything faster, more modern and more flexible - perfect for mobile use, better Google rankings and easier extensions.

But what exactly is behind the update? And why is it worth switching to the new Cloud Software 4 for your online store or website?

An interview with Managing Directors Joachim de Vries (Chief Technical Officer) and Nils Neumann (Chief Operating Officer) on the optimizations in the areas of technology, design and usability.

Joachim, Cloud Software 4 is a major update. What are the biggest technical improvements?

Joachim: »In short: faster, leaner and more flexible! Loading times are significantly shorter because we have massively optimized the code. Less ballast, less waiting time - that simply makes it more pleasant to use. What's more, the software is now even better optimized for mobile devices.«

Keyword search engines - what does the new framework do for SEO?

Optimized Core Web Vitals and search engine friendly code ensure better rankings, more visibility and more traffic!

New laws such as the European Accessibility Act 2025 and the AI Act 2025 are just around the corner. Are you prepared for this?

Functions such as the chatbot can be integrated even better in future.

With Cloud Software 4, we have not only optimized under the hood - the design has also been consistently developed further. After the technical insight with Joachim, Nils Neumann explains to us what the new interface looks like and why Mobile First is not just a buzzword.

Nils, faster loading times and optimized code are one thing - but good software also has to feel really good. This is where design comes into play! With Cloud Software 4, you are focusing even more on mobile first. What does that mean for the design?

Nils: »It means that we have put everything to the test again so that the software feels really good on the smartphone or tablet. A simple example: we made the buttons bigger. For the same reason, we have also left more space between the elements. We've also completely done away with hover effects because they simply don't make sense on touch devices. We have also placed a stronger focus on horizontal swiping, which is much more in line with the desired user experience (UX) than long vertical product listings, for example. To summarize, everything is now much more designed for comfortable tapping and swiping«

And what about navigation and product presentation?

»Much clearer! A well thought-out hamburger menu saves space and keeps the navigation lean. There are also collapsible elements so that not everything is displayed at once and the structure of the content is directly visible. Images can now be zoomed so that you can see every detail. Horizontal sliders ensure attractive and convenient user guidance. We also rely even more heavily on icons and images because mobile users tend to skim text.«

»We have revised the entire interface once again«

In addition to the mobile focus, the general design has also changed. What were the most important developments here?

»We have revised the entire interface once again - with a clear focus on a reduced and modern design. Less distraction, more focus on the essentials - usually images. Users want to get to their destination quickly, which is why we have significantly tidied up the template layout. Everything is now even more intuitive and visually calmer.

However, it was also important to us that the template can be adapted even better to the individual brand worlds of our customers in future and reflects these as individually as possible. I think we've managed this balancing act quite well with CS4.«

»The revised Content Designer is my personal highlight«

Is there another highlight that you're particularly looking forward to?

»For me personally, definitely the new Content Designer! It allows pages to be created much more intuitively and individually - without any technical know-how. We are also now testing the frontend for user-friendliness with automatic tests so that everything runs smoothly. This is also a big step, but of course our customers and users only notice it subconsciously.«

The new Content Designer makes building pages easier than ever - even without technical know-how!

Why it's worth switching to Cloud Software 4
