Haneke Design

06/04/2026

After more than 20 years of building digital products we're proud of, Haneke Design is beginning an exciting new chapter.

We're thrilled to share that Haneke Design has been acquired by FrankCrum, where our team will bring design-forward thinking and engineering excellence to the next generation of HR technology for small businesses.

And we've made sure the work continues in great hands: our client engagements are transitioning to Dynabyte, a fellow Tampa Bay software firm we trust to carry it forward with the same care our clients have always known.

Readable code gets a lot of attention. Searchable code quietly saves hours.

How explicit code, comment tags, grep, and VS Code search improve developer productivity and make refactoring safer.
