What Webwerkstatt Stauß does

Webwerkstatt Stauß GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held, owner-managed German web agency headquartered in Simbach, Germany, founded in 2013 by Benjamin Stauß. The firm specializes in the design, development, and ongoing operation of digital solutions built primarily on WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, and Laravel, supplemented by proprietary LiteSpeed high-performance hosting infrastructure with multi-level security (DDoS protection, firewall/IDS, malware scanning, SSL). Its service portfolio spans conception and planning, website and online shop builds, custom Laravel applications, system interfaces and integrations, workflow automation via n8n, hosting/maintenance/monitoring, and digital marketing (SEO/SEA). The company also develops its own WordPress plugins (advent calendar, email sending, CAPTCHA, image copyright).

The agency's go-to-market is sales-led, B2B, and regionally focused on the DACH market, with projects initiated through consultation, fixed contact persons, and milestone-based payments. Pricing is fully custom and not publicly disclosed; ongoing services are billed hourly in 10-minute increments, and fixed-price projects operate under §632a BGB advance payment terms. Revenue streams blend project-based professional services with recurring subscription hosting/maintenance, plus digital marketing services billed on time and domain registration as an intermediary.

The target customer base is explicitly SMB-focused, with the firm stating it does not contract with private consumers. Notable named customers span healthcare (Praxisgemeinschaft Dres. Berghammer), e-commerce (Goodrun.at, Zoomingo.de, Elfengarten, TGM GbR, Shytsee GmbH), food/lifestyle (Cookie und Co), design (Aljo Design UG), retail (Uhren & Schmuck Hirn), and services (WHS Service). Strategic partnerships include weclapp (certified ERP partner), Trusted Shops, NeuroDesign, eRecht24, GetResponse, PageRangers, InterNetX (hosting infrastructure), and exali (professional liability insurance). The firm has no external investors, no parent company, no M&A activity, no subsidiaries, and no public funding events.

Recent moves2 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Jimdo GmbH: Jimdo is a German DIY website builder aimed at small businesses and freelancers. It is comparable as a substitute offering that competes for the same SMB website budget, but occupies the DIY/self-service end of the market where Webwerkstatt Stauß does not play.

Direct peers

• Raidboxes: Raidboxes is a German managed WordPress hosting provider that overlaps directly with Webwerkstatt Stauß's hosting and WordPress site-management offering for SMBs. Both target German-speaking SMB customers needing high-performance, secure WordPress infrastructure.
• Kernpunkt: Kernpunkt is a German digital agency offering web development, e-commerce (Shopware, OXID) and hosting services to mid-market and enterprise clients. Comparable because it shares the same DACH agency model spanning concept, web build, shop build and hosting.
• dkd Internet Service GmbH: dkd is a Frankfurt-based full-service digital agency delivering web, e-commerce and custom application development plus hosting. Comparable to Webwerkstatt Stauß as a German agency offering an end-to-end stack from concept to operation.
• Mittwald CM: Mittwald is a German hosting and managed services provider specializing in CMS platforms (WordPress, TYPO3, Neos) with bundled agency-style support. It is comparable because it combines hosting infrastructure with managed maintenance services for SMBs and agencies in the DACH market.

Others

• Shopware GmbH: Shopware is a German headless/Shopware 6 e-commerce platform vendor. It is comparable as a key technology partner/ecosystem player whose platform Webwerkstatt Stauß builds on, and whose partner ecosystem overlaps with the agency's target SMB e-commerce segment.
• weclapp SE: weclapp is a German cloud ERP vendor with which Webwerkstatt Stauß holds a certified partnership. It is comparable as a strategic ecosystem/technology partner whose customer base overlaps with the agency's SMB ERP-integration projects.

Broad incumbents

• STRATO AG: STRATO is a major German hosting provider with a large SMB customer base for domains, hosting, and simple website/shop solutions. It is comparable because it offers low-cost alternative infrastructure that competes with Webwerkstatt Stauß's managed hosting pitch.
• Hetzner Online GmbH: Hetzner is one of Germany's largest web hosting and server infrastructure providers with a much broader portfolio and customer base. It is comparable because it competes for the same SMB hosting and managed-server spend that Webwerkstatt Stauß sells to its customers.
• 1&1 IONOS (United Internet): IONOS is a leading German/European web hosting and website builder provider serving SMBs with hosting, domains, website builders and basic e-commerce. Comparable as a broad incumbent that competes for the same SMB "build and host a website" budget.
