Web development
Modern content management
We focus on solid web development powered by Grav or Wordpress. Grav is a flat file content management system, focused on being easily maintainable and comfortable to use. There is zero installation required. We love it for its simplicity and clever design. It follows similar principles to other flat-file CMS platforms, but has a different design philosophy than most. To be honest it's the best content management system we have ever worked with.
If you have read about web development, you surely have come across the hugely popular Wordpress CMS. The platform is powered by the programming language PHP, while also using a MySQL database. Over the years it has become more and more complex, with thousands of addons being developed. This makes it harder to update and maintain, compared to a platform like Grav. We develop and update Wordpress websites, as well as taking over projects that have been set up earlier and need maintenance, enhanced security or other changes.
Grav CMS platform
Why did we decide on Grav CMS as our main development platform? Because it is very easy to use and maintain, while being incredibly fast. The admin interface of Grav is well made and optimized for mobile devices. Creating or editing pages is comfortable as most content is written in Markdown language. We are using Grav on a daily basis ourselves and can honestly recommend it as the most user friendly content management system that we have come along.
It has so many benefits that its hard to list them: Markdown content creation, security, stability. The list is endless compared to very complex solutions like Typo3 or Wordpress. But for us the most important point is: It's fun to use. Usually there is an epic battle between the end user and the CMS. Things break, updates go wrong, and so forth. With Grav it's different. It's simply a joy to use and work with. There are a lot of people who can confirm this, we are not alone. Check out the reviews and experiences with this open source project to get a better understanding yourself.
Wordpress support
As a lot of people are coming from or are currently using Wordpress as a content management system, we also offer WP development. Many of the clients that have contacted us have a WP website that is out of date, has been hacked or has a lack of support. They don't know what to do and feel helpless. Most of these problems could have been avoided if the company who built the website in the first place followed best practices. This includes setting up proper security, a web application firewall and other measures.
From our experience this seldom happens, most Wordpress pages are heavily outdated and even basic support updating and maintaining their pages is not given. That's where one of our key strengths comes into play: We know how to properly secure, upgrade, backup and maintain your Wordpress installation. In case your server is too weak, which is also a common complaint, we offer a migration service and guarantee blazing fast speed on our own virtual private server. We can help you make the best choice, this includes converting your project to a different CMS.
