What Clickstorm does

Clickstorm, legally clickstorm GmbH, is a Leipzig-based private German digital agency founded in 2005 and operating from Altenburger Straße 13. The firm employs 1-10 people and serves enterprise and SMB clients primarily across the DACH region via direct sales — website contact forms, phone, and consulting engagements — with no self-serve or product-led motion. Its go-to-market is project-based professional services, with no public pricing.

The agency's core offering is full-cycle web development, design, and e-commerce built on four PHP-based open-source platforms: TYPO3 (enterprise CMS for websites, intranets, and portals), WordPress with WooCommerce (blogs and SMB sites), Symfony (custom enterprise applications and portals), and Shopware 6 (headless/API-first e-commerce). Clickstorm holds differentiated credentials — TYPO3 Silver Member of the TYPO3 Association with Certified Integrator since 2005, plus Shopware Business Partner status with Certified Developer and Certified Template Designer — and operates automated quality assurance using Playwright and Codeception.

Revenue is generated through project-based engagements across a broad vertical mix that includes healthcare (Klinikum St. Georg, STARC medical, BBW Leipzig), banking and financial services (HSH Nordbank, Cowen Germany), manufacturing and Industry 4.0 (EMAG, Sigmund Lindner, SOFTLINE AG), publishing (Ernst Klett Verlag, E. A. Seemann Henschel), culture and public institutions (Gewandhaus zu Leipzig, Zoo Leipzig, Universität Leipzig, Hasso-Plattner-Institut, MIDEWA, Bad Düben), and SMB segments in outdoor retail, travel, dentistry, and hospitality. Clickstorm has no external funding, no parent company, and operates independently under Managing Directors Ronny Weise and Danny Messing.
