János Theil is your expert for layout, typesetting and final artwork. Your specialist for multilingual publishing, EPUBs and accessible PDFs. Your reliable partner for modern web design and web development.

Here’s how I can help bring your project to life.

You can rely on my print-ready artwork. From layout to final production, I ensure accurate colour reproduction and precision down to the finest detail, in all your required languages.

Accessible PDFs

The new German Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) requires digital content – such as PDFs on websites – to be made accessible. The aim is to give people with disabilities equal access to information and to make digital content accessible to everyone.

I convert your InDesign files and turn them into technically accessible PDF/UA-compliant documents. From semantic tagging to the PAC validation, so that you meet all necessary accessibility standards.

EPUB – digital publishing

Reach a wider audience by publishing digitally. I prepare your print media and manuscripts from a wide variety of formats and carefully convert them by hand into high-quality EPUBs, tailored to your content and publishing requirements.

The result is professional e-books with a flexible page layout (reflowable EPUB) that adapts to different screen sizes and reading preferences. They display beautifully on modern e-readers, tablets and smartphones, ensuring clear presentation, easy navigation and an enjoyable reading experience.

Tailored solutions are essential for performance, design and security. A standard website may seem sufficient at first, but the difference becomes clear when real-world requirements arise.

Beautiful design, clean layout, fast delivery. From the very first pixel to the final stop. That is what I can offer you.

With my wide range of services and my independent approach to work, I can assure you that your assignments will be carried out with the greatest care.

I therefore handle every project carefully and efficiently. Even when faced with complex tasks, I always remain clear, focused and, above all, solution-oriented.

FAQ

Why should I work with János Theil?

Are you looking for a partner for design, layout and prepress artwork who doesn’t just execute but thinks along with you? With many years of experience in prepress, I bring everything that makes your print project successful: a trained eye, technical know-how and a fine sense for clean layout.

What happens at the first contact and what comes next?

Getting started is easy: a short message or a call is all it takes. Together we discuss your layout or prepress artwork project and clarify the goals, technical requirements and schedule. Then I prepare a transparent quote. And your project is on track and on its way to print approval.

What does a typical project look like?

After a detailed briefing, I take care of design, typesetting and prepress artwork precisely and reliably. I deliver more than just print-ready files and give every layout a special touch. I stay in close contact with you, keep you continuously up to date and keep to agreed deadlines.

Roughly what costs can I expect?

The costs for layout and prepress artwork depend on the type and scope of your project. After a joint, thorough clarification of the key points, you receive a transparent cost estimate, either as a price per page or an hourly rate. This keeps you in full control of your budget, without hidden items or nasty surprises.

How long will it take to complete my project?

I know how important deadlines and print templates are. That’s why I always work in a focused, efficient way on layout, typesetting and prepress artwork, with the schedule in mind. What I don’t do, however, is sacrifice quality for speed. Even under pressure, my print files stay accurate and precise down to the last detail.

How easy is it to reach János Theil with questions?

Throughout the entire design and prepress artwork process, I am reliable and easy to reach. That way you always keep an overview and clarity. If a short-notice layout change comes up, a direct line makes many things easier. The result is not only a good print product but also a pleasant collaboration.

How discreetly is confidential data handled?

A good media designer can do many things, including keeping quiet. I consider discretion in handling confidential information and documents – for example annual reports, business reports or sensitive prepress artwork projects that have not yet been published – an integral part of my work and of my professional self-image.

Are you ready to bring your project to life?

Tell me about your project. I look forward to hearing from you.
