Custom template development and design

Standard solutions rarely meet the specific requirements of a company. That's why we rely on custom-made templates tailored to your corporate identity and target audience. This Joomla expertise is based on more than 20 years of experience and over 500 completed projects. During programming, we utilize modern frameworks such as YOOtheme, Helix, or Gantry, which enable flexible design. Responsive design is a given – your website functions optimally on all devices, from smartphones to desktop monitors. Thanks to our years of experience with Joomla, we know the best practices for optimal performance and maintainability.

Migrating from older Joomla versions to current releases requires technical expertise and careful planning. Our update service ensures your website is always up-to-date. We check all extensions for compatibility, create a backup strategy, and perform the migration in a test environment before going live. Our server infrastructure is optimized for the CMS: PHP 8.2+, MariaDB 10.6+, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, and OPCache ensure fast loading times and stable performance. With our specialized hosting package, you run your website on an optimized environment specifically tailored to Joomla's requirements.

Performance 3

Extensions and individual programming

Whether it's newsletter integration, multilingual content, forms, or special product presentations – we'll find the right solution for your needs. If required, we also develop custom extensions and modules that precisely reflect your business processes. For e-commerce projects, we can combine Joomla with shop extensions or advise you on alternative platforms.

Our process

The path to your new website – Our process

Phase 1

Analysis and conception

Every successful web project begins with a thorough analysis. We identify your goals, target audience, and technical requirements. During this phase, we also determine which existing data should be migrated and which content strategy makes sense. A clear concept saves time and money later on. We also assess whether the Joomla CMS is the optimal choice for your specific project or whether alternative systems would be more suitable.

Phase 2

UX design and wireframing

Before we begin programming, we create detailed wireframes and design layouts. This allows you to evaluate the structure and design and make adjustments before the actual development work begins. We work with modern tools and consider user-friendliness at every level. The structure of your website is designed for easy management within the CMS.

Phase 3

Development and template programming

During the development phase, we translate the design into a functional template. Programming is carried out according to current web standards and best practices. We integrate necessary extensions, configure the system, and create the content structure. Simultaneously, your website is populated with initial content. Joomla's modular architecture allows us to develop flexible and maintainable solutions.

Phase 4

Testing and quality assurance

Before a website goes live, it undergoes extensive testing on various browsers and devices. We check performance, loading times (Core Web Vitals), accessibility, and search engine optimization. Our SEO expertise ensures, even at this early stage, that your website is optimally prepared for search engines and meets all technical requirements.

Phase 5

Go-live and training

The launch of your website will be meticulously prepared. We'll create redirects for existing URLs, configure monitoring, and guide you through managing your content. Comprehensive training will ensure you can maintain your website independently and master the most important functions of the CMS.
