Meier

What Meier does

Meier AG is a Schaffhausen, Switzerland-based B2B communication and web development agency operating as a subsidiary of the regional media group Schaffhauser Medienhaus Meier + Cie AG. The company was established in 2019 by consolidating the legacy web agency SOBAG (founded 1999) under the new Meier brand and broadening the service portfolio to include communication consulting, PR, social media management, and content creation alongside core web work. Headquartered at Vordergasse 58, Schaffhausen, with a visible core team of approximately six professionals combining developers and former journalists, Meier serves German-speaking Swiss clients ranging from startups and SMBs to regional enterprises and government bodies.

The company's technology foundation centers on Typo3 CMS — with additional capability in Drupal (NP8 for news platforms) and PrestaShop for e-commerce — extended by custom PHP/JavaScript/CSS development and two proprietary modules: Mediacockpit, a web-based publishing workflow automation and paywall management platform deployed across multiple Swiss regional newspapers (Schaffhauser Nachrichten, Sarganserländer, Willisauer Bote, Seetaler Bote), and I3D/Immo3D, an isometric 3D real estate visualization module for property portals. Meier's solution portfolio includes CMS-based news portals with paywall and ePaper, booking platforms with third-party integrations (SAP, Autoscout24), e-commerce stores, and the regional event platform Nordagenda.ch.

Commercially, Meier operates a project-based, quote-driven sales motion targeting Swiss businesses of all sizes, with long-term maintenance and support contracts providing recurring revenue alongside one-time project fees. The company acquires clients through direct engagement, portfolio showcasing on its website, and channel partnerships — notably with Lucerne-based design agency Blickwinkel AG, which refers technical implementation work. Geographic scope is confined to German-speaking Switzerland, with a concentration around the Schaffhausen region, and the agency does not operate resellers or distributors. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set per engagement.

Core offering

Meier AG is a Schaffhausen-based agency that designs, develops, and maintains websites, web applications, and digital publishing platforms for Swiss businesses, regional news publishers, and selected e-commerce clients. Its offering combines web development and design on Typo3, Drupal, and PrestaShop with communication/PR, social media management, and ongoing technical maintenance, supported by proprietary tools (Mediacockpit for publishing workflow automation, I3D/Immo3D for real estate visualization) and a managed regional event platform (Nordagenda.ch). Services are delivered as project-based engagements with optional multi-year support contracts.

Product overview

Core proprietary products include Nordagenda.ch (regional event platform), Mediacockpit (web-based publishing workflow automation and paywall management tool used by multiple Swiss newspaper publishers), and I3D/Immo3D (real estate visualization module). On the solution side, Meier delivers Typo3-based news portals with paywall and ePaper capabilities, booking platforms with third-party system integrations, and e-commerce stores. All solutions are delivered as client services rather than self-serve SaaS products.
