Netzweber Gmbh

What Netzweber Gmbh does

Netzweber GmbH is a privately held, owner-managed full-service internet agency headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, founded in 2012 as a spin-off from the internet team of ifu Institut für Umweltinformatik Hamburg GmbH. The firm specializes in TYPO3 CMS-based website development, responsive and accessible (barrierefrei/barrierearm) web design, custom web applications built on PHP/Symfony, and the development of specialized TYPO3 extensions including digiCULT, ninox-TYPO3, and CITAVI-TYPO3 interfaces. It also develops Citizen Science applications — notably BeachExplorer and LakeExplorer — in partnership with environmental organizations and SiSol Systems (Local Cosmos). The operating model bundles editor training into every TYPO3 website project and layers in recurring support, consulting, and SEO services.

The company sells primarily to German public-sector and civic clients: federal authorities (Bundesbehörden) including the Bundesamt für Naturschutz, universities and research institutes, environmental and nature conservation NGOs, and associations. A secondary horizontal channel subcontracts TYPO3 implementation, PHP/Symfony programming, and training to other internet agencies and freelancers. Distribution is direct — website contact form, phone (+49 40 609 46 20-0), and email — augmented by referral flow from the TYPO3 community, where Netzweber holds Silver Membership in the TYPO3 Association and co-organizes TYPO3 Camp Hamburg.

Revenue is generated through fixed-price custom web projects with multi-year contracts, subscription-style ongoing support, paid TYPO3 training (with a free Schnupperkurs / trial course), and subcontracting fees. Hosting for the company and many client sites is provided via a CO2-neutral arrangement with Mittwald CM Service, reinforcing sustainability positioning relevant to public-sector buyers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is led by managing director Wolfgang Schröder, has 1-10 employees, no subsidiaries, no external funding, and no disclosed financials.
