Sunlime IT Services

What Sunlime IT Services does

Sunlime Web Innovations GmbH is an Austrian web agency founded in 2013 and headquartered in Leibnitz, Steiermark, with a regional office in Graz. The company designs, builds, and maintains custom websites, WooCommerce-based webshops, bespoke web applications, and mobile apps for businesses in the German-speaking (DACH) region, primarily Austria. The team of eleven people is led by co-managing directors Christoph Potzinger and Dominik Fuchshofer, with a Head of Development (Lukas Kurzmann) and senior full-stack developers delivering end-to-end engagements.

The technology stack centers on WordPress and WooCommerce for content and commerce platforms, with React, Next.js, and Laravel used for custom web applications, and Figma for design. Sunlime delivers integration work connecting webshops and websites to ERP systems (e.g., Softline for Auner), CRMs, and payment providers (Stripe, Mollie, PayPal, Klarna, Unzer, MPay24), and has developed proprietary components such as a Content Copier WordPress plugin. The service portfolio is structured into core offerings (websites, webshops, web apps, mobile apps, API/integration, web design) and add-on modules (maintenance subscriptions, digital accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA, tracking/analytics, SEA/Google Ads, SEO and Generative Engine Optimization, and AI/automation integrations).

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: project-based website and webshop builds billed as one-time engagements, hourly consulting at €140 per hour (net), and recurring annual maintenance contracts covering updates, security, backups, and reporting. Pricing is not publicly listed; project pricing is scoped per engagement and indexed annually to the Austrian Consumer Price Index 2020 (VPI 2020) with a ±2% threshold. Sunlime acquires clients via direct sales and project-based consultative engagement, supported by content marketing (blog/insights), SEO, and organic social media on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook. Notable customers include Kastner & Öhler/Gigasport, Kleine Zeitung, Auner, PIEPS, Franz Moser, Backen mit Christina, Sonne-Licht-Schatten, and Weingut Potzinger. The company won the German Web Award 2022 and is a member of the Styrian Service Cluster.
