Sabine Melnicki

I am Sabine Melnicki from Vienna in Austria, and offer digital consulting, web conception and competence transfer for companies.

My work focuses on numerous facets of digitalization: communication through language and content, information architecture and data design, visual implementation in branding. I help companies become visible online and find their corporate language. Currently, my research interest is aimed at "digital autonomy", i.e. the transfer of competencies in the area of conflict between digital technologies and social conditions.

Main focus of my consulting activities

Knowledge transfer succeeds in large companies with semantic wikis on a new, high level. → wikiahoi.at
Digital consulting as Certified Digital Consultant (CDC) from data protection to software design.
Concept, branding, content design including up to the technical implementation in smaller and larger web projects. → webahoi.at/website-services
Website coaching to help solopreneurs and smaller companies build their own website by themselves. → webahoi.at

Speaker (en/de) on semantic wikis, knowledge transfer, content design, visual design, digital autonomy.
