For many agencies Oldenburg is one location page among several. For us it is where our only office is: the whole team has worked on Edewechter Landstraße since 1999, concept and code are written here, and the people who look after your system after launch sit here too. The city brings a wide range of work. The university and other higher-education institutions, public authorities, courts, chambers and associations make Oldenburg a centre of research and administration. Add to that healthcare, the energy sector and a retail trade that draws customers from far beyond the city. Hardly two of these groups need the same thing — yet for most of them the answer is Shopware or TYPO3.
What that means in practice shows in the typical jobs in the city. A hospital operator needs a website on which departments maintain their own pages without breaking the overall picture. An association needs a members' area with permissions that match its committees. A specialist retailer in the city centre wants to sell online what is on the shelves, and a wholesaler from the surrounding Oldenburger Land no longer wants to serve business customers by email and phone. For the first two, TYPO3 is usually the right basis; for the other two, Shopware 6. We explain our recommendation before you receive a quote.
With Shopware 6 we build both: the retailer's B2C shop, whose stock and prices come from the merchandise management system so that nothing is sold online that left the shop floor long ago — and the wholesaler's B2B shop with customer-specific prices, volume tiers, several buyers per account and an ERP connection that runs reliably overnight. As a Shopware Extension Partner we develop extensions ourselves rather than stacking store plugins. After go-live the shop stays in our care: we test patch releases on a staging copy before they go live and keep an eye on logs and plugins. A maintenance contract with an SLA makes this binding — 24, 8, 4 or 2 hours' response time, monthly fee on request.
TYPO3 is the system of choice for many universities, authorities and associations — in Oldenburg too. It has often been running there for years, and not infrequently on a version whose free support has ended; for v12 it ended on 30 April 2026. We bring installations like these to TYPO3 v14 LTS in a planned way: an audit of the extensions, an upgrade path with a test instance, and the switch only after testing, while the website stays live. New websites and portals we build directly on v14, with a permissions concept, multilingual content and accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA. Under maintenance we check every TYPO3 security bulletin on the day it is published and apply security patches on staging first, then live.
In Oldenburg we work in the same place as you. Kick-off, requirements workshop and acceptance take place at your premises or at our office on Edewechter Landstraße, as agreed, and a training session for your editors in your own meeting room needs no travel planning at this distance. Development, testing and day-to-day coordination run remotely: with a fixed contact, video calls and a ticket system in which every status can be traced. You can reach us Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 16:00 CET, on +49 441 21 21 63 0; outside these hours, support is only available with on-call cover agreed in the SLA. Your systems run on our own Proxmox servers in the Hetzner data centre in Falkenstein.
