What webprofil does

WEBprofil – Gernot Ploiner e.U. is an Austrian sole proprietorship founded in 2004 (with TYPO3 engagement since 2002) that exclusively specializes in the TYPO3 enterprise CMS. Operating from Gedersdorf, Krems, and Grafenegg in Lower Austria, the firm delivers TYPO3 website development, custom web applications (booking systems, e-commerce, payment integration, portals, APIs), TYPO3 hosting, custom extension development, and professional TYPO3 training. Its technical stack is concentrated on TYPO3 (Extbase), PHP, HTML5/SCSS, Bootstrap, Vue.js, Composer, and Vite, with DDEV for local development and GitHub/Bitbucket for version control.

The firm's competitive positioning rests on absolute single-platform focus (no other CMS is used) and deep credentialing: the owner holds all four official TYPO3 certifications and has co-led the TYPO3 Education Committee since 2013, with the firm having trained more than 1,000 TYPO3 developers since 2009. Proprietary contributions include the Mask extension (millions of downloads) and the open-source TemplaVoila Converter. Named customers span Austrian SMEs and a notable international enterprise relationship with Paysafe Holdings UK Ltd, covering multiple country-specific TYPO3 sites since 2019.

Commercially, WEBprofil generates revenue through one-time project fees (50% deposit required above €5,000), recurring hosting subscriptions (monthly/quarterly in advance), domain registrations, managed maintenance and security updates, and professional training. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on website contact forms, phone inquiries, and a dedicated ticket system for existing customers — with no channel partners, self-serve motion, or external funding. Distribution is regional (Austria primary, with select international work), and the firm also operates an internal product, flurl, a vertical platform for fire departments.
