    Your CMS can be the next starting point.

    Duplicated content work, slow changes and disconnected AI experiments: we identify the bottleneck and improve your existing platform step by step.

    More possibilities for the system you already have.

    Your website has grown, along with custom solutions, approvals and expectations. Now needs to go live faster and AI needs to help within the workflow. We begin with a specific task and its dependencies to decide what can improve in the existing system and where technical renewal makes sense.

    Business, editors and IT working on the same task.

    A slow workflow can have several causes: missing , unclear approvals, awkward components or a missing integration. We connect customer and brand needs to the work inside the CMS. You receive a reasoned next step with a clear outcome.

    Where does your platform hold you back?

    We investigate the cause within an actual workflow and agree a focused first improvement.

    • Too many editorial loops

      Review sources, roles, content models and approvals. Make repeated tasks easier and clarify editorial ownership.

    • Users cannot find the next step

      Examine a key customer journey: orientation, product selection, information and enquiry. Review a suitable solution as a prototype first.

    • Disconnected systems

      Trace transfers between CMS, PIM, DAM or CRM. Implement a connection with clear ownership and failure handling.

    • AI remains an isolated experiment

      Integrate a suitable task with reliable data, limited permissions and a reviewable result into the existing workflow.

    Retain, extend or renew?

    Improvement fits when the foundation is sound and the bottleneck can be addressed directly. An extension may work when a bounded capability is missing. Phased renewal becomes relevant when maintainability, requirements and total effort weigh against the existing solution.

    We assess these options against your installation. Content, redirects, user journeys, editorial work, integrations and operations all belong in the decision.

    CMS experience with distinct areas of focus

    Our dedicated Drupal team has delivered dozens of websites and platforms for PepsiCo. TYPO3 is part of our everyday development work, including websites for Alpina Farben and MILRAM. We also work on client projects with Magnolia, WordPress and Sitefinity. Payload is our strategic focus for suitable new platforms and agentic workflows.

    For Sitecore, we bring conceptual experience. We define development and support scope around the version, extensions and project requirements. A CMS name alone does not make a system suitable or outdated.

    Turn GEO questions into useful website work

    When your expertise is missing from search or AI answers, we first examine which customer questions your website actually answers. Are services clear, evidence accessible and content technically discoverable?

    The response may involve content pages, original photography, expert interviews or CMS changes. Placement in AI answers cannot be guaranteed. Public discoverability and access by your own agents to internal content are separate tasks.

    The platform review: enable a decision

    We examine one CMS, one priority customer journey and one editorial workflow. With business stakeholders and IT, we identify the key bottleneck. You receive prioritised actions, effort ranges and a reasoned recommendation for the next implementation step.

    The review is a standalone engagement. Scope, required information and costs are agreed before work starts. You can then decide which improvement you want us to deliver.

    Keep improving after the first change

    A platform needs attention after launch. We can plan further functions, content and improvements through a shared backlog. Small releases and regular reviews keep development connected to actual needs.
