Contao CMS

Contao CMS

Professional content management

Overview

Extend and enhance your existing Contao CMS with custom extensions, version upgrades, and modifications that adapt to your evolving business needs - without starting from scratch or rebuilding.

You already have Contao managing your content. Now you need custom features, version upgrades, or modifications that the core system doesn't provide. We build extensions that integrate seamlessly with your existing setup, upgrade outdated installations to modern versions, and customize functionality to match your workflows. Built on Symfony (modern PHP framework), trusted in German-speaking markets for GDPR compliance and long-term stability.

Who This Is For

  • Companies with existing Contao installations needing custom extensions or modifications
  • Organizations running outdated Contao versions (3.x, 4.x) that need upgrades to modern releases
  • Businesses requiring custom integrations (APIs, third-party systems, specialized workflows)
  • Content teams needing improved workflows, automation, or features the core CMS doesn't provide

How We Work With Your Contao Site

We start by understanding what you need - custom features, version upgrades, workflow improvements. You tell us what's not working, what features you need, what manual tasks waste time. We analyze your existing Contao setup, identify technical constraints, then build extensions or perform upgrades. Before handover, we document everything and show your team how new features work. Your site keeps running during development - no downtime, no disruption to editors.

"Fast upgrades. Flexible extensions. Frog-level reliability."

You should work with us when you already have Contao but need it to do more. Your CMS works fine for content, but you need custom features the core doesn\'t provide. Or you\'re running an outdated version and need to upgrade without breaking everything. We understand Contao\'s Symfony-based architecture deeply - extensions integrate cleanly, upgrades preserve custom work, code stays maintainable long-term.

Common Questions

Can you upgrade my Contao 3.x or 4.x installation?
Yes. We upgrade outdated Contao installations to modern versions while preserving custom features and extensions. Process: analyze your current setup, identify breaking changes, update extensions for compatibility, test thoroughly, then upgrade production. Typical upgrade timeline: 2-4 weeks depending on customization complexity.
Will my custom extensions break after upgrades?
Not if built correctly. Extensions using Contao's proper APIs survive updates. If you inherited poorly-built extensions, we refactor them to use supported methods before upgrading. After upgrade, everything works or we fix it - no abandoned half-broken site.
What if we need a feature that doesn't exist in Contao?
We build custom extensions that integrate seamlessly with Contao's architecture. Extensions use the same Symfony framework the core CMS uses, so they don't conflict or break. Your custom features survive upgrades and stay maintainable long-term.
Do you build new Contao sites from scratch?
No. We focus on extending and upgrading existing Contao installations. If you need a new CMS from scratch, we can recommend other technologies better suited for new projects.
