Why web development with Contao?

Economical

As an open-source project, there are no license fees for you. You can use the saved capital elsewhere!

Flexible and Individual

As an open-source CMS, the content management system allows for maximum flexibility with full control. Our developers are able to extract the maximum potential from the CMS and integrate it into your web project in such a way that you can independently utilize that potential. The open-source nature enables our developers to tailor the CMS and thus your website even more individually – custom-made for your company, your market, and your target audience.

SEO-optimized

Search engine optimization (SEO) plays a key role in Contao to ensure you are found. This is also advantageous for your marketing department: SEO can be implemented precisely, future-oriented, and quickly within the Contao CMS. Many of the possibilities that search engine optimizers utilize are already integrated „out of the box“ into the CMS. This way, your website not only looks good but is also found for relevant search terms on Google and co. – precisely this traffic is what later grows into new prospects and ultimately customers!

Manage Content, Users, and Roles

With the CMS, maintaining your website’s content is now child’s play, regardless of whether it’s in a role- and user distribution system that allows you to set up different access rights for each individual employee, including freelancers. This not only creates clarity but also makes it easier for less technically savvy employees to use the CMS, as they only see the functions in the system that are relevant to their own work. What none of your employees need? Programming skills! With the clear user interface, content can be created, managed, and, if necessary, deleted without you having to be proficient in programming languages yourself.

Our services for your Contao website

Of course, we will not leave you alone with your new website! Once the project is in place, we will train you and all necessary employees in using the CMS, demonstrate the various functions, set up roles and access rights for you, or show you how to get the maximum added value from your content on the website from then on. From web design to programming and maintenance, our customers receive everything conveniently from a single source. This guarantees efficient communication channels as well as fast support.

Among other things, we provide you with:

Conception & consulting, tailored to your company
Layout & design, taking into account brand image and corporate design
Implementation in Contao, including the creation of custom, individual templates if required
Installation of the CMS on a server and linking with all necessary domains
Setup of extensions/plugins
Implementation in responsive or mobile-ready design
Maintenance and technical support, including installation of new security and CMS updates

The technical expertise of our developers, the many years of experience of our designers, and the cool heads of our project managers ensure structured, highly efficient processes in the realization of your website – regardless of whether you are taking your first steps on the internet or, for example, want to place the relaunch of an existing project in good hands.

Extensions for Contao

5 Top Modules for Contao

RockSolid Custom Elements

RockSolid Custom Elements give you the ability to make all input fields available in the Contao backend as a content element and/or module. All you need is the definition of the fields (input) and a template file (output).

Bootstrap for Contao Bundle

Bootstrap for Contao is a modular extension that allows you to seamlessly integrate the popular CSS framework Bootstrap into Contao. The bundle includes all available components. This can be installed via the Contao Manager or directly with Composer.

RockSolid AntiSpam

The AntiSpam field is a hidden field that normal website visitors do not see. If a visitor is mistakenly identified as a spambot, they will instead be shown Contao’s normal security question.

Contao Cookiebar

The Contao Cookiebar enables a GDPR-compliant web presence for new or existing projects. With this extension, you can take into account all services from various third-party providers and grant your website visitors full control over their data.

MetaModels

MetaModels allow you to comfortably define data models in the Contao backend with (almost) no restrictions and without programming. Various data types are available for the data fields (attributes) in the data models, such as text, images, numbers, dates, and files.

The Most Common Contao Mistakes

Programmers‘ Mistakes

Programmers often like to write or use an unnecessarily large number of their own modules, which makes updating difficult. Therefore, if possible, one should always stay as close to the core as possible.
Another mistake programmers often make is an unstructured implementation. The cleaner the work, the easier subsequent processing and implementation will be.

User Errors

Users often copy too many files and texts or deactivate them. This contributes to a lack of clarity, making the use of elements and operations in Contao more difficult or even causing them to fail.
It is also often forgotten to change the admin password, which facilitates unauthorized access.

Contao: What to consider for updates?

It is important to always make a backup before performing updates, so that data can be restored in case of data loss. Additionally, the PHP version should match the current server to avoid compatibility issues. Likewise, the modules should be compatible with the server and the version.
