We develop custom Joomla websites for businesses in Weinheim, Rhine-Neckar, and the DACH region – from new builds to relaunches and migrations. Joomla is a mature, capable CMS that gives you full control over your website without platform fees or vendor dependency.
5,0 · 14 Reviews on GoogleJoomla has been powering websites since 2005 and remains one of the most widely used open-source CMS platforms in the world. It sits between WordPress and TYPO3 in terms of complexity: more structured than WordPress, more approachable than TYPO3. Its built-in access control system, flexible content modelling, and strong multilingual capabilities make it a genuine option for organisations that need more than a simple website but do not require a full enterprise CMS.
Joomla is particularly strong for membership portals, community platforms, multilingual corporate websites, and organisations that already have Joomla expertise in-house and want to build on it. If you are starting fresh without a specific Joomla requirement, we will always discuss whether WordPress or TYPO3 might serve you equally well – and sometimes better. Our goal is the right tool for your project, not the one we happen to prefer.
Joomla's Access Control List (ACL) is one of its biggest advantages over WordPress. You can define exactly who can view, create, edit, or publish which content – without additional plugins. For organisations with multiple departments or member-only content, this is a significant operational advantage.
Unlike WordPress, Joomla has multilingual support built into its core. No third-party translation plugins required, no additional licences, no compatibility risks. For organisations managing content in multiple languages, this built-in capability simplifies both development and editorial workflow significantly.
Joomla's category and article system is more structured than WordPress's posts and pages model. Combined with custom fields and content types, you can model complex content structures – event listings, product catalogues, knowledge bases – without relying on heavyweight page builder plugins.
From a new Joomla website to a migration from an ageing installation – we implement Joomla projects end-to-end, including template development, extension integration, and editorial training.
Custom Joomla template development, content architecture, and full site build – structured around your content types, your editorial team, and your users.
Your Joomla site is outdated visually or technically but the content and structure are solid? We rebuild the frontend on a current Joomla version while preserving what works – with no ranking loss and minimal editorial disruption.
Joomla's native multilingual system is powerful – but requires careful configuration to work correctly for editors and for search engines. We set it up properly from the start, including hreflang, language fallbacks, and a translation workflow your team can actually follow.
When the Joomla extension directory does not have what you need, we develop custom components, modules, or plugins – built to Joomla coding standards, documented, and designed to survive version upgrades.
Whether you are moving to Joomla from another CMS, or migrating away from an ageing Joomla installation to WordPress or TYPO3 – we handle the content migration, URL mapping, and SEO continuity either way.
Joomla installations that are not regularly maintained become security risks quickly. We keep your core, templates, and extensions current, monitor for vulnerabilities, and ensure backups are tested and restorable.
No bloated templates. No extension overload. A site that is fast, secure, and editorially usable.
Joomla projects fail for the same reasons as WordPress projects: a heavy third-party template with 50 bundled features of which 5 are needed, a stack of extensions that conflict with each other after the next update, and a backend that no editor wants to open. We build Joomla sites lean and purposefully – custom templates, a minimal extension set, and a backend configured to match how your team actually works.
Most commercial Joomla templates bundle page builders, sliders, mega menus, and dozens of layout options. The result is a slow site, a confusing backend, and a template that becomes unmaintainable when the vendor stops supporting it.
We develop your Joomla template from scratch using Joomla's native template framework. Only the layouts, modules positions, and styles your site actually uses are included – the result is a fast, maintainable template that is not dependent on any third-party vendor.
Joomla 3 reached end of life in August 2023. Many organisations are still running it because the upgrade path to Joomla 4 or 5 involves breaking changes that require real development work – extensions need updating or replacing, templates need rebuilding, and the database structure has changed.
We start every Joomla upgrade project with a full audit: installed extensions and their Joomla 5 compatibility, custom code inventory, database state, and template dependencies. From this we build a migration plan with a staging environment for testing before anything touches the live site.
Joomla's backend is more complex than WordPress's by default. Without deliberate configuration, editors encounter unfamiliar terminology (articles vs. posts, menu items vs. pages), an overwhelming admin menu, and a module system that takes time to understand. The result is content that never gets updated.
We configure Joomla's admin panel to show only what each editor role needs: restricted menu items, pre-set article categories, and simplified module access. We follow this with role-specific training and written documentation so editors can work independently from day one.

Highly recommended! Our new website turned out exactly as we imagined – modern, professional, and user-friendly.
Great work! The website is modern, clear, and exactly as I imagined. Very reliable, fast, and professional.
André is super reliable and always reachable. In just a few days from concept to finished website – I am impressed!
From the initial quote to the finished website, the service was outstanding. Professional, very friendly, and easily accessible at every stage.
Briefly describe your project – we usually respond on the same working day with an honest assessment and a fixed-price offer.
Request a free quote nowA new Joomla website starts at €3,500. Projects with custom extension development, multilingual setup, or ACL configuration for larger editorial teams typically land between €5,000 and €10,000 depending on complexity.
Joomla upgrade projects (from version 3 or 4 to Joomla 5 LTS) are priced separately based on an audit of your current installation. After a briefing, you receive a transparent fixed-price offer.
Joomla is a strong choice when you need built-in ACL for multiple user roles, native multilingual support without plugins, or a structured content model beyond simple pages and posts. It sits comfortably between WordPress (simpler, larger ecosystem) and TYPO3 (more powerful, more complex).
WordPress is better for smaller teams and simpler structures where launch speed matters. TYPO3 is better for large organisations with deep hierarchies, enterprise integrations, and many sites in one installation. We advise you openly on which system genuinely fits – with no commercial preference for any platform.
Joomla 3 reached end of life in August 2023 and no longer receives security updates. Running it exposes your site to known vulnerabilities. Your main options are: upgrading to Joomla 5 LTS, or migrating to a different CMS if Joomla no longer fits your requirements.
A direct upgrade from Joomla 3 to Joomla 5 is possible but involves breaking changes: extensions need compatibility checks, templates need rebuilding, and some database changes require scripted migration. We audit your installation first so you know exactly what is involved before committing to a path.
A new Joomla website with a custom template and standard content structure takes 4 to 7 weeks from briefing to go-live. Projects with custom extension development, multilingual setup, or ACL configuration for larger teams are planned with 6 to 10 weeks.
Upgrade and migration projects depend on the complexity of the existing installation and are planned individually after an audit. A well-documented current installation with maintained extensions is typically upgradeable in 3 to 5 weeks.
Yes. Joomla is maintained by an active open-source community and the Joomla! Project. Joomla 5, released in October 2023, is the current LTS version and receives security and bug-fix updates through 2025, with extended support available. A roadmap for Joomla 6 is in development.
Joomla has a smaller community than WordPress, which means fewer available extensions and themes – but the core platform is stable, well-tested, and actively developed. For projects that fit Joomla's strengths, this is a fully viable long-term foundation.
Joomla itself is GDPR-neutral – compliance depends on configuration and the extensions used. We set up every Joomla installation with data minimisation and German legal requirements in mind: cookie consent via a GDPR-compliant CMP, correct privacy policy links, and data processing agreements with all relevant third-party services.
Joomla's built-in ACL system also makes it straightforward to restrict access to personal data (contact form submissions, registered users) to authorised roles only – a practical advantage for data protection compliance.
Yes. If your current Joomla installation no longer fits your requirements – or if upgrading to Joomla 5 would cost more than a clean rebuild on a different platform – migrating to WordPress or TYPO3 can be the right decision. We advise you openly on this.
Content, media, and user data can be migrated in most cases. All old URLs are covered by 301 redirects to preserve Google rankings. We carry out an SEO audit before and after the migration to ensure continuity.
