Technical fundamentals for your website

Security & Data Protection Development & Deployment Quality assurance Content Management & SEO Operation & Monitoring Maintainability & Future-proofing

Security and Data Protection

A secure system that complies with data protection regulations reliably protects your website and your users’ data.

GDPR compliance – integrated data protection module (dkd_GDPR) as the technical basis for consent management
Regular security updates – automated dependency checks and updates (Renovate)
SSL encryption – HTTPS as standard for all connections
Security scans – automated security checks (OWASP ZAP) in the deployment pipeline
Latest technologies – TYPO3 14 LTS + PHP 8.5 for maximum stability and performance

Development and Deployment

Efficient development and deployment processes enable fast, error-free updates and a stable TYPO3 website.

Local development environment – quick set-up with ddev (Docker-based) for consistent, isolated environments
CI/CD pipeline – automated build, test and deployment processes (GitLab CI/CD)
Staging and review environments – test changes in isolated test environments and approve them before publication
Versioned Releases – traceable, controlled and reproducible releases

Quality Assurance

Automated tests and checks guarantee an error-free, high-performing and accessible TYPO3 website.

Automated tests – unit, integration and end-to-end tests (PHPUnit, Playwright) ensure functionality
Performance tests – regular speed measurements(Sitespeed.io) of your website
Visual regression tests – automatic detection of unintended visual changes (Playwright)
Code quality checks – static analysis (PHPStan) and linting to ensure error-free code
Accessibility testing – checks that the implementation is technically correct.
- Optional: AI review
