TYPO3 agency in Vienna —
accessible, GDPR-compliant, AI-accelerated.
For many years we have been building and maintaining TYPO3 websites for Austrian institutions, associations and mid-sized companies. Designed for WCAG 2.1 AA, hosted inside the EU, and delivered with AI-agent-assisted development at a pace that used to require a 10-person team.
What a TYPO3 agency does for you — and what we add on top.
TYPO3 is the CMS of choice for public authorities, NGOs, mid-sized industry and training institutions across Europe. We look after such portals across several major versions — from the first concept through migration, maintenance and continuous extension.
TYPO3 development & extensions
New TYPO3 sites, site packages, custom content elements and extensions. Extbase/Fluid, modern frontends with Tailwind, Vite and Alpine. Site Sets instead of classic TypoScript templates.
Migration & version upgrades
Upgrades from TYPO3 10 / 11 / 12 to v14 LTS, including extension compatibility, deprecation fixes, template porting, database schema updates and editor training on the new backend.
Accessibility per BFSG / EAA 2025
WCAG 2.1 AA — technical audits, redesign of accessibility-critical elements, screen-reader testing, conformity statement under Austrian WZG / German BFSG. More on accessibility audits →
Maintenance, security & operations
TYPO3 security patches applied within 24 hours, performance monitoring, recurring health checks across multiple major versions. Commercial SLAs for mission-critical portals.
The CMS trusted by public authorities, NGOs and half of the DAX index.
More than half of DAX-listed companies, major public authorities and NGOs across the DACH region have relied on TYPO3 for years. The reasons are not ideological but pragmatic: license-fee free, predictable in the long run, scalable up to multi-tenant enterprise portals.
DAX-listed groups, the Austrian Integration Fund, federal organisations, universities — TYPO3 has been the first choice in the European enterprise space for two decades.
Open-source instead of a five-figure licence fee per major version. Your budget flows into functionality, not licences.
18 months of sprint releases plus 3 years of long-term support — guaranteed by the TYPO3 Association. You know today what you will pay in 2029.
One installation, n portals, cleanly separated permissions. Federal organisation plus regional chapters, parent group plus subsidiary brands — without running five parallel systems.
Approval flows, workspaces, versioning, granular role and permission systems — all part of the standard, no custom plugin tinkering required.
Semantic HTML5, clean separation between content and layout, accessibility and SEO are anchored at the core — not bolted on afterwards.
These are the portals we look after — often for more than a decade.
A federal fund, a research society, a nationwide NGO, a training organisation — four very different portals with one thing in common: high demands on stability, accessibility and editor usability.
Arbeiter-Samariterbund Austria
Federal portal and regional chapters, maintained for many years across several TYPO3 major versions.

We work spec-driven: before any line of code there is a fully thought-through specification — decisions, architecture, test cases. Only then do we generate code with Claude Code agents, verify every step and integrate it into the existing codebase.
The result: features that take a classical agency weeks we deliver in days — without cutting quality, with tests, code review and clean documentation.
Security response time
TYPO3 CVEs are applied and verified within one working day.
Years of continuous maintenance
Some portals we have looked after across 3–4 major versions — without a system change.
Direct communication
Editor training in German or English, no offshore ticket queue.
No vendor lock-in
TYPO3 is open source. Your code belongs to you. Any TYPO3 agency could take over.
Code that works today — and ten years from now.
We are certified TYPO3 integrators and work with the engineering practices that are standard in serious software houses. For a portal you will run across three or four major versions, this pays off — maintenance hours stay predictable, instead of exploding year after year.
Certified TYPO3 integrators
Exam-certified, regular training, direct line to the TYPO3 Association. None of the “I once saw it in a YouTube tutorial” school.
Test-driven development
Unit and integration tests from sprint one. Bugs are reproduced with a failing test, then fixed — not “I think it works now”.
Git for every line of code
Source control with code reviews, atomic commits, clear history. Every change is traceable — even seven years later.
Automated UI tests
Playwright safeguards visual stability after every deploy. If the navigation breaks after an update, the system knows before your users do.
Data protection isn’t negotiable — it’s built in.
GDPR has been in force since 2018. We build TYPO3 sites that work without tracking pixels, Google Fonts or unchecked third-party embeds. If something is loaded, it happens after explicit user consent — and is documented cleanly in the cookie statement.
Matomo instead of Google Analytics
Self-hosted on Austrian servers, with IP anonymisation by default. No data leaves the EU. All the analytics you need, without the data-protection risk.
Cookie consent done right
Tracking is genuinely not loaded when declined — not just “disabled” while still active in the background. We use the Cookieman extension for fine-grained, per-service control.
Two-click loading for third parties
YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud only load after explicit confirmation — in advance we display locally stored preview images. No “shadow profiles” created by third parties.
Self-hosted fonts
Fonts live on your server, not on Google’s. No data leakage on every page view, fully GDPR-compliant — and faster as a side effect.
From requirements workshop to responsive go-live — and beyond.
Clear requirements at the start. Four clean sprints in the middle. A responsive end product. Plus maintenance beyond that.
Requirements workshop
Brand clarity, target audiences, content hierarchy. We listen, we ask — and walk out with a sharp picture of your requirements.
Initial call
30 minutes, free of charge. You describe your current state, your goal and your constraints.
Audit & concept
Technical audit, architecture proposal, FIGMA prototype for desktop/tablet/smartphone, fixed-price range. You see the finished website before the first line of code is written.
Sprint delivery
Two-week sprints with a runnable build at every checkpoint. Tailwind 4, semantic HTML5, performance-optimised. Editors can train along, we iterate.
Responsive behaviour
Quick to text on smartphone, comfortable without zooming on tablet, emotional imagery on desktop. Google’s recommended responsive pattern, no separate mobile build.
Operations & maintenance
Security patches, LTS upgrades, new features as needed — for years.
What decision-makers typically ask us.
What does a TYPO3 website cost?
Simple corporate sites start at around EUR 5,000, typical institutional portals fall between EUR 15,000 and 80,000, and large multi-tenant solutions can reach EUR 150,000 and above. After the audit we name a fixed-price frame.
We are still on TYPO3 10 or 11. How does an upgrade to v14 work?
In two stages: first v10/11 → v12 LTS, then v12 → v14 LTS. We check every extension for v14 compatibility, migrate templates to Site Sets, fix deprecations and train your editors on the new backend. Typical duration: 4–12 weeks depending on size.
Our previous TYPO3 agency no longer exists — can you take over?
Yes, regularly. We run a code and infrastructure audit, document the legacy site, take over hosting if you wish and bring the installation up to current security standards. TYPO3 is open source — any professional TYPO3 agency can take over at any time.
Will the site be accessible under BFSG / WZG?
Accessibility is our default, not an add-on. We ship to WCAG 2.1 AA, test with screen readers (NVDA, VoiceOver) and produce the legally required conformity statement. Existing sites we audit as a separate engagement.
Do we train our editors ourselves, or do you do it?
We train — in German or English, on-site in Vienna or remote. The typical format: two sessions of 90 minutes plus a short written guide for new editors. For existing clients we run refresher workshops at every version upgrade.
Why TYPO3 and not WordPress or Drupal?
In Europe TYPO3 is the first choice for public authorities, NGOs and large companies with strict demands on permission and role systems, multilingualism, auditability and editorial workflows. WordPress is excellent for blogs and small sites but runs out of room for these requirements. See the “Why TYPO3?” section above.
30 minutes is enough to know whether we’re a fit.
No sales pitch. You walk us through where you are and where you want to go, we tell you honestly how we can help — or who would be a better fit.
