What Studio Mitte does

Studio Mitte Digital Media GmbH is a privately held digital agency headquartered in Linz, Austria (Tummelplatz 3, 4020 Linz), founded in 2007 and co-owned 50/50 by managing directors Elmar Putz and Mario Rader. The firm operates with a small team of approximately ten professionals covering full-stack development, UX/UI design, project management, and back-office support, delivering custom web-based solutions to B2B enterprises, mid-market companies, government agencies, educational institutions, and specialized e-commerce clients primarily across Austria and the broader DACH region (including Bavaria).

Its core offering is professional services built on an open-source technology stack spanning TYPO3 and WordPress for content management, Shopware 6 and Shopify for e-commerce, Pimcore as an integrated PIM/DAM/DXP/Commerce platform, and custom WebApps developed on Vue.js, Angular, React, and Laravel (PHP), with API-first architectures and integrations into ERP, PIM, CRM, ATS (eRecruiter), payment (Mollie), shipping (Sendcloud), email/CRM (Brevo, Mailchimp, Emarsys), search (Solr, Elasticsearch), and map/geospatial tooling (PostGIS, Leaflet). Notable technical differentiators include compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA / BITV 2.0 / EN 301 549 accessibility standards, multi-site and multi-language deployments (up to 27 language versions at KWB, 14 at Schachermayer, 140+ active content editors at FH Oberösterreich), and complex system integrations such as the Bankhaus Spängler robo-advisor (Angular + Laravel with real-time risk profiling) and the Breitband Oberösterreich PostGIS-based broadband infrastructure query application (12,000+ annual queries).

Studio Mitte generates revenue primarily through project-based, quote-priced custom web development and software engineering engagements (typical contract durations of several months), with additional recurring revenue from ongoing maintenance, hosting, and support. Its go-to-market is consultative, direct B2B sales driven by referrals, RFPs, conference presence (e.g., Beyond Tellerrand, A-Tag, Smashing Conf, TYPO3 User Group Austria), and thought leadership through a technical blog covering TYPO3, Shopware, Laravel, accessibility, and DevOps topics. The company is a certified Shopware Business Partner, Shopify Partner, and Pimcore Silver Partner, holds multiple workplace/sustainability certifications (BGF Gütesiegel 2024–2026, Klimabündnis, Unternehmen für Familien), and is a sponsoring member (Fördermitglied) of Accessible Media. It has no external investors, no subsidiaries, no disclosed M&A activity, and no publicly disclosed revenue.
