Projects: Ideas We Built Ourselves

At DLx-Media, we do not only think in client projects. For years, we have been developing our own digital products and tools that emerged from concrete needs. Some of them have grown into standalone platforms with their own user base, others are deliberately lean and cover one very specific use case. What they all have in common: we use them ourselves. That is our filter for everything we build.

These projects are also our testing ground. Everything we learn here about SEO, performance, conversion and user experience flows directly into the work we do with our clients. If you want to know whether we truly understand what we recommend: here is the proof.

DLx-Projects.com: Project Management That Finally Focuses

DLx-Projects.com is our newest and most ambitious product to date. A lean project and product management tool for teams that want to bring clarity to their roadmaps, sprints and day-to-day collaboration, without the overhead of classic enterprise solutions like Jira or Asana.

The starting point was a simple observation: most project management tools are either too basic or hopelessly overloaded. DLx-Projects takes a different approach. All the task types that modern product teams need, including tasks, bugs, features, epics, stories, subtasks and RFCs, live in a single system with a clear structure and zero configuration effort. Seven different task views, inline editing, comments with Markdown support and a complete activity feed are all included as standard.

The sprint and cycle management is particularly well thought through. Burndown chart, velocity history and cycle progress are available immediately, without any configuration at all. Simply create a cycle, assign tasks and get to work. Agile planning the way it should be.

On top of that, there is an integrated AI assistant that works directly inside the ticket. Generate descriptions and acceptance criteria, turn bullet points into clean Markdown, break epics down into concrete subtasks, suggest type and priority, or create a sprint status report: all of this happens without switching context and without any compromise on data protection. AI processing runs on servers in the EU, fully GDPR-compliant.

DLx-Projects is currently in closed beta. Places are limited. Anyone who wants to get in early can apply directly on the project page.

DLx-Search.com: The AI Search Engine That Protects Your Data

DLx-Search.com is a privacy-focused search engine that combines AI technology with the principle of Privacy by Design. Instead of an endless list of links, DLx-Search delivers concise summaries of the most relevant results, so users can grasp the essentials at a glance and reach their destination faster.

The service is hosted and operated in Germany. No personal user profiles are created, no IP addresses are stored and no search history is tracked. Advertising and sponsored content that distort results at other providers are nowhere to be found at DLx-Search. Searches can be conducted in six languages: German, English, French, Spanish, Italian and Polish.

4or.de: URL Shortener with Marketing Features

4or.de is a URL shortener that does far more than simply shorten long links. Anyone who just wants to turn an unwieldy URL into a short, shareable version can do so without an account. Those who want to use it as a marketing tool get access, with an account, to click tracking, audience-targeted marketing, custom domains, different redirect URLs depending on the visitor's country or device, and links with a configurable expiry date.

4or.de grew out of everyday practice: anyone who regularly shares links in social networks, email campaigns or presentations needs short URLs that are also measurable. 4or.de combines both in a single lean tool.

DLx-Content.com: AI-Based Content Generator

DLx-Content.com is an AI-based content generator built on OpenAI's GPT APIs that makes it possible to create high-quality content without deep knowledge of prompt engineering. Texts, images and audio content can be generated quickly and easily, and integrated directly into existing marketing workflows.

The tool is designed for anyone who wants to use artificial intelligence in their day-to-day content work without having to wade through complex settings first. Website copy, newsletter content, social media posts: DLx-Content delivers a solid foundation that can be further refined and adapted.

DLx-Rank.com: SEO Analysis and Technical Audits

DLx-Rank.com is an SEO analysis tool that makes technical on-page issues visible and delivers concrete recommendations for action. Anyone who wants to know why a page is not ranking, or where technical issues are lurking, gets detailed reports and a clear prioritisation of the measures that actually make a difference.

The tool is aimed primarily at smaller to medium-sized projects where a fast, easy-to-understand analysis matters more than the feature depth of an enterprise tool. Automatically created projects, an expanded toolkit and regular reports make it easy to keep track of a website's SEO health on an ongoing basis.

DLx-Analytics.com: Web Analytics Without Cookies

DLx-Analytics.com is a privacy-friendly web analytics tool that works entirely without cookies and still delivers meaningful data. The focus is on traffic analysis: which content performs well, where visitors come from and how the success of marketing measures develops over time.

The tracking code is deliberately lean, coming in at under 1 KB, so that the page speed of the integrated website is not affected. All data is processed and stored on servers in Europe. A genuine alternative to Google Analytics that is GDPR-compliant and works without a consent banner.

DLx-Share.com: Share Large Files Easily

DLx-Share.com is a file upload service for anyone who wants to share larger files quickly and easily without compromising on file size. The service is not designed for permanent cloud storage, but for temporary transfer: files up to 2 GB are stored for up to one month and are accessible via a shareable link to anyone who receives it.

Multiple files can be uploaded simultaneously, the download link is ready to use immediately and no account is required. For anyone who regularly needs to pass on large raw data, video files or extensive design packages, DLx-Share is the most straightforward solution available.
