What Visionbites does

Visionbites (legal entity: visionbites GmbH) is a Munich-based digital agency specializing in the design, implementation, and support of web projects, primarily on the TYPO3 and Kirby CMS platforms. Founded in 2004 (firmographics note 2013) and led by Managing Directors Dr. Nepomuk Gasteiger (CEO), Alexander Hitzler, and Stephan Steigenberger, the firm operates with a stated team of approximately 15 web developers, designers, and online marketing experts. Its portfolio spans four vertical solutions — healthcare/clinics, associations and NGOs, corporate/B2B, and small businesses — complemented by recurring services in SEO/GEO, digital marketing, web design, accessibility (BITV, WCAG, BFSG), hosting, support, and updates.

Revenue is generated through bespoke project-based engagements (custom quote-based pricing, no public rates) supplemented by recurring hosting, support, and update contracts, plus proprietary products including visionbites Continuity (automated website testing every 5 minutes across 15+ quality metrics), visionbites Consent Management (self-hosted GDPR cookie consent), and visionbites Places (location and event data platform). The company sells directly to enterprise and mid-market clients across the DACH region, reaching customers via website forms, phone, and email, with a reputational moat anchored by six TYPO3 Awards (2018-2025) and 15 shortlist recognitions.

The technology stack centers on PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript with TYPO3 and Kirby CMS as primary platforms; AI capabilities are integrated through multiple TYPO3 extensions (t3_cowriter, TYPO3 AI Suite, T3AI, AI SEO-Helper, TYPO3 GPT) connected to third-party models (OpenAI GPT/DALL-E, DeepL, Google Translate, Midjourney), plus a self-hosted Open WebUI / container-hosted GPT integration targeting GDPR-compliant enterprise AI. Visionbites is founder/management-owned, privately held, and operates without disclosed external institutional investment.
