Web-vision

What Web-vision does

web-vision GmbH is a privately held German digital agency founded in 1994 and headquartered in Mönchengladbach, specializing in TYPO3 CMS implementations, Magento and Adobe Commerce e-commerce builds, and managed hosting services. The firm serves a DACH-region client base spanning mid-market and enterprise companies, public institutions, NGOs, and universities, with a documented portfolio that includes Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (120 international sites and 250,000 pages migrated), Vitadrogerie (100,000+ product Magento catalog), Sutor Bank, and several higher-education institutions. Under Managing Director Boris Hinzer, the company is a co-founder of the FGTCLB GmbH agency network, which formally incorporates five DACH agencies and claims 100+ specialists, giving web-vision delivery capacity well beyond its 11-50 internal headcount.

The company's core technology stack rests on three pillars: TYPO3 CMS, where web-vision develops proprietary open-source extensions including the DeepL Translate suite (350,000+ downloads by April 2026), DeepL Write, FGTCLB Academic Extensions, Kanban Workspaces, and Content Notes; Magento/Adobe Commerce, where the company holds Hyvä Gold Partner status and operates the Extendware sub-brand of proprietary Magento modules including Magento High Speed Import (MHSI) and Mage-UniTY; and managed hosting on Linux servers with Cloudflare CDN and 24/7 monitoring. The firm has progressively added capabilities such as the AI Site Match redirect-mapping tool, Shopify integration services (launched May 2026), and the Government Site Builder (GSB 11) for public-sector deployments. It maintains a 30-year community presence as a TYPO3 Gold Associate Member since 2010 and as an Adobe Solution Partner since 2020.

The revenue model blends project-based professional services (web design, TYPO3 and Magento development, SEO/SEM) with recurring managed services (hosting, SLAs, maintenance contracts) and a small but growing subscription/extension licensing layer (DeepL Translate Early Access Program at 960 EUR / 15 months, Extendware extensions, domains-vision storefront sales). Customer concentration is moderate, anchored by a few large enterprise relaunch engagements offset by a long tail of 1,000+ hosted domains and extension customers. Distribution is primarily direct via the web-vision.de website and FGTCLB network referrals, supplemented by TYPO3 Extension Repository placement and certified Google Partner status for paid search management.
