If the client meeting is in three days and the website doesn’t exist yet—we’ll deliver a fully functional TYPO3 build in 48 hours.
Not every TYPO3 project has six weeks to spare. Trade show deadlines, campaign launches, emergency relaunches after a hosting provider failure—we know the drill. Our Speed Build process delivers a clean, deployable TYPO3 site on v14 LTS in 48 hours, 5 days, or 10 days—depending on the scope. No throwaway code. Everything is extensible. Dennis Hüttner coordinates personally.
Speed Build Stack
A Speed-Build isn’t a disposable product. We use a production-ready base template that we configure—not build—for each project. Content blocks are predefined, the site package is Composer-based, and deployment takes just a few minutes.
Scope control is the critical factor: What goes in, and what goes into Phase 2? We define the MVP scope together before we start—no feature creep in 48 hours.
# Base (pre-built) template: TYPO3 v14 LTS Master Template (Composer-based) blocks: 80+ preconfigured ContentBlocks frontend: Tailwind CSS v4 · SCSS token system # Project-specific configuration (48h) scope: MVP scope workshop (1 h before launch) branding: Logo · Color tokens · Typography tokens (< 30 min) content: Content import from delivery document# Deployment hosting: Mittwald / all-inkl / Hetzner (or customer server) deploy: Deployer · < 10 min until go-live ssl: Let's Encrypt · automatic# What Speed-Build DOES NOT include no: Custom extensions · API integrations · complex layouts
Three use cases
Three situations where a speed build is the right choice—and one where it isn't.
The agency has pulled out of the project, but the launch date is set. We’ll take over the project, clean up whatever needs to be cleaned up, and deliver a deployable version in 48 hours or 5 days. No finger-pointing, no troubleshooting—just delivery.
The trade show is in three days, and the campaign page isn't ready yet. We're building a clean campaign website on TYPO3: landing page, contact form, and basic SEO structure. It can be expanded after the campaign or used as a standalone site.
Your main relaunch is still 8 weeks away—but the existing website is no longer accessible (due to a hack, hosting provider outage, or an outdated CMS). We’ll provide a clean interim site that will be replaced after the relaunch.
Procedure
You can plan for 48 hours—as long as the scope and content are defined before we start. That’s why every Speed Build begins with a one-hour workshop.

What’s included, and what’s coming in Phase 2? Pages, content types, design guidelines, hosting. Everything is laid out in writing—we only work with a fixed scope.

About Dennis
Dennis Hüttner is the CEO of Waterproof Web Wizard GmbH. Over the past 18 years, he has delivered projects across a wide range of timelines, from relaxed six-week projects to 48-hour sprints. He knows what is and isn’t feasible in a speed build. That’s why every speed build starts with a scope workshop: to ensure clear expectations on both sides.
FAQ
Five straightforward answers about Scope, pricing, quality, and how it differs from the standard build.
Yes. We don’t write throwaway code. The result is a clean TYPO3 v13.4 LTS — Composer-based, version-controlled, and documented. You can expand it with a regular custom build, hand it over to your dev team, or we can manage it as part of a maintenance retainer.
Changes to the scope during the build will be billed on an hourly basis (€108/hour). That’s why we hold a scope workshop before we start: we don’t want any surprises on either side. We deliver exactly what’s in the scope document. Anything not included in the document will incur an additional charge or be addressed in Phase 2.
Before we begin, we need: content in a deliverable format (Word/PDF/Google Doc), a logo in SVG or high-resolution format, color codes (or a design file), and hosting login credentials (or confirmation that we will handle hosting). Without these essentials, we cannot start the Speed-Build.
The standard Custom Build (starting at €15,000) builds everything from scratch according to your specifications. The Speed Build uses our preconfigured master template and customizes it for your specific needs. This is faster, but less customizable. The Speed Build is sufficient for standard requirements. For complex requirements, the Custom Build is the right choice.
€270/hour net, 2-hour minimum, then in 15-minute increments. For urgent emergencies (server down, critical extension broken). No diagnostic report upfront—we fix it first, then we explain. Transition to a regular support or maintenance contract is possible afterward.
If you need a TYPO3 site by tomorrow, give us a call. We’ll be honest with you—we’ll tell you whether a speed build is feasible in 48 hours or if, realistically, we’ll need five days. No promises without a review.
