No theme builder, no proprietary framework—just clean TYPO3 code tailored to your needs.
We develop TYPO3 projects from the ground up: a custom site package based on TYPO3 v13.4 LTS, custom extensions tailored to your needs, ContentBlocks for the editorial team, and Tailwind CSS for the frontend. No vendor lock-in, no off-the-shelf templates. Your code is in your repository, documented according to TYPO3 core standards. Dennis Hüttner personally manages every project. The team handles the implementation.
Build stack
Every custom build starts with a clean TYPO3 v13.4 LTS installation, Composer-based dependency management, and a project-specific site package. No theme marketplace, no proprietary solution. Everything is versioned, documented, and transferable.
The ContentBlocks extension replaces the old Mask system: structured content types, clearly separated backend forms and frontend templates, no hidden logic in the TCA. Fully PSR-compliant on the PHP side.

Four building blocks
Four areas, all seamlessly integrated. No modular system, no patchwork.
Custom TYPO3 site package as a Composer package: Fluid templates, SCSS, Tailwind CSS, TypoScript sets, page layouts. No off-the-shelf themes—everything developed according to your design specifications, with responsive, accessible markup.
Structured content elements with ContentBlocks: a clear separation between the data model, backend form, and frontend template. Editors get exactly the fields they need—no more, no less. No mask overhead.
Plugins, data processors, ViewHelpers, API integrations. All PSR-compliant, Composer-based, and testable with PHPUnit. A documented extension API that your development team can continue to build upon without our help.
DDEV local, deployer for staging and production, GitLab CI for pre-launch checks. 40-point pre-launch checklist, SEO redirect mapping, DNS cutover, 30-day hypercare after go-live.
Process
Every custom build goes through the same four phases. No go-live without staging approval, no invoice without a deliverable.
// Step 01 / 4 · Dauer ~ 1–2 weeks
Requirements workshop, information architecture, sitemap, content block definitions, extension planning. Everything documented—before the first line of code.

Prices
All fixed prices are based on an analysis. €108/hour net, billed transparently. No fixed price without an estimate of the work involved—we don’t commit until we know the scope of the project.
For smaller projects of up to 50 pages, 1 site, up to 10 content block types, and no custom extensions.
For projects with 50–150 pages, up to 25 ContentBlock types, 1–3 custom extensions, and a staging pipeline.
For multi-site installations, multilingual support, numerous custom extensions, API integrations, and a large number of editors.
For additions, modifications, and extensions to existing TYPO3 installations without a fixed-price framework.

FAQ
Seven direct answers regarding the scope of the build, pricing, technology, and handover.
Starter starting at €15,000, Business starting at €29,000, Enterprise starting at €59,000 (net) — fixed price in each case following an analysis. Minor adjustments on an hourly basis: €108/hour in 15-minute increments. No fixed price without a cost estimate.
Starter: 4–6 weeks, Business: 8–12 weeks, Enterprise: 12–20 weeks — depending on complexity and the speed of feedback. We use an iterative planning approach with weekly staging deployments, so you can see the current status at any time.
No. Every site package is developed from scratch: Fluid templates, an SCSS token system, Tailwind CSS—all tailored to your design specifications. No page builder, no Elementor equivalent for TYPO3. The result: clean code that you can continue to develop on your own.
ContentBlocks has been a core feature since TYPO3 v13.2. It replaces Mask, providing a clean separation between the data model, the backend form, and the frontend template. Editors get exactly the fields they need—no patchwork of TCAs, no override chaos.
That’s our goal. The code is in your repository, documented according to TYPO3 Core standards and PSR guidelines. We’ll hold a handover session and provide architectural documentation. If your team still has questions: €108 per hour.
Yes. Direct delivery to seniors under your agency’s banner. No account manager involved, fair terms, NDA-compliant. Details: For agencies.
Optional. After the 30-day Hypercare period, you can switch to a TYPO3 maintenance retainer (starting at €432/month). The Enterprise Build includes 12 months of maintenance. Details: TYPO3 Maintenance.
We'll assess your needs and give you an honest assessment of whether a Starter, Business, or Enterprise plan is right for you—or if an hourly rate makes more sense. Free of charge and with no obligation.
