Full-service web and e-commerce studio with in-house production
Animato is a 25-year-old Czech digital agency spanning strategy, design, development, and media production under one roof. The tech stack reveals a Vue + PHP backend focused on e-shop and web applications, with Docker and containerization infrastructure suggesting internal platform maturity. The company is actively developing sa5, an in-house CMS platform, and faces the typical agency pain: scaling smaller projects and driving sales — a constraint most visible in their minimal hiring velocity despite a senior-heavy team.
Animato builds websites, e-commerce platforms, and branded digital experiences for mid-market clients across cosmetics, manufacturing, investment, cultural, and media sectors. The studio combines creative strategy, UI/UX design, copywriting, and photo/video production in-house. Core output includes custom web development (Vue, PHP, MariaDB), e-shop implementations, and an evolving proprietary CMS platform (sa5) for client projects. The team of 11–50 is based in Hradec Králové, Czechia.
Vue and Alpine.js for frontend, PHP for backend, MariaDB for databases, Docker for containerization, Figma for design, and Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) for production. REST and XML for APIs.
Primary focus: sa5 CMS platform development and enhancement, plus ongoing b2b/b2c e-shop builds. Named client projects include Crussis, Iveco, and MycoMedica. Internal focus includes e-commerce and intranet platforms.
