Sgalinski

What Sgalinski does

Sgalinski (legal entity: Stefan Galinski Internetdienstleistungen) is a German sole proprietorship founded circa 2004 and headquartered in Gernrode, Thuringia, operating a specialized TYPO3 digital agency with a team of approximately 10 employees. The company delivers end-to-end TYPO3-based web platforms, Symfony custom software, Shopware e-commerce solutions, and mobile applications to enterprise and mid-market clients across industries including energy (Thüga, EWR, Enni, City Power), insurance (Assekuranz AG), IT/networks (Softing, Computop), transportation (Duagon), recruitment (Jobblitz), and hosting (df.eu). Across ~20 years it has delivered 350+ TYPO3 projects and holds TYPO3 Gold Member and Technology Supporter designations, signaling deep ecosystem standing.

The product portfolio centers on a proprietary extension suite: SG-AI (AI assistant for TYPO3 covering text/image generation, SEO, and accessibility), SG API Core (a REST API framework for TYPO3), Cookie Opt-In (GDPR-compliant consent management), TYPO3 Website-Base (a ready-to-deploy project foundation), and a set of developer tools (Fluid and TypoScript IDE plugins, SEO Redirects, SGC CLI Task Runner). SG-AI 2.x introduced MCP (Model Context Protocol) auto-API endpoints and EU AI Act transparency support in 2025.

The business model combines project-based professional services (custom TYPO3 development, integrations, and Shopware e-commerce) with a productized offering — Website-Base is sold as a €999 one-time license or via a recurring "Website as a Service" subscription that bundles managed hosting and support. Open-source extensions are distributed freely via the TYPO3 Extension Repository and Composer, with paid support and customization options. The company is bootstrapped and founder-owned, with no external funding, parent company, or institutional investors.

Broad incumbents

• Sitecore: Global enterprise CMS/DXP vendor competing for the same enterprise web platform RFPs that Sgalinski targets with TYPO3, though at the broader platform level with a much larger portfolio.
• Contentful: Enterprise headless CMS platform competing for the same German mid-market digital budget Sgalinski targets with TYPO3, with a broader, more international go-to-market.

Emerging players

• Storyblok: Headless CMS gaining enterprise traction as an alternative to TYPO3 for marketing-driven websites. Partially overlaps Sgalinski's enterprise CMS positioning as a newer architecture entrant.

Direct peers

• Inpsyde GmbH: German enterprise web agency specializing in TYPO3 and WordPress with custom development, hosting and managed services. Comparable as a DACH-based CMS-specialist agency operating at a similar scale.

• mittwald CMService: Leading German TYPO3-focused hosting and managed platform provider with a hosting-centric GTM. Overlaps Sgalinski's managed-hosting revenue stream and TYPO3 ecosystem positioning.

• dkd Köln GmbH: Cologne-based digital agency with established TYPO3, Symfony and Shopware practices serving enterprise customers. Parallels Sgalinski's full-stack TYPO3 + Symfony + Shopware offering at a similar mid-market positioning.

Others
