Maintenance by platform: six systems, one quality standard
Shopware, WordPress, TYPO3, Contao, Drupal and Joomla follow their own update cycles and security models — we maintain each platform with specialized processes instead of a one-size-fits-all scheme. The SLA terms are identical for every system: maintenance contracts from €199 per month.

A maintenance process that runs identically for every platform overlooks the decisive differences between the systems. As an e-commerce system, Shopware brings the complexity of order processing, plugin dependencies and multi-layered caching. WordPress thrives on a vast ecosystem of plugins and themes — enormous flexibility on one hand, a large attack surface on the other. TYPO3 is designed as an enterprise CMS for extensive, multilingual installations with clearly defined LTS cycles. Contao, Drupal and Joomla in turn each have their own release policies, extension ecosystems and typical vulnerabilities. We maintain all six platforms with system-specific care routines built on the same service modules — and on the same terms: the SLA maintenance contract starts at €199 per month, regardless of which system you run.
Six platforms, one control center
Six platforms, six specialized care approaches
Shopware Maintenance (CE)
Core, plugin and theme updates for the Community Edition, verified on a production-like staging environment. Checkout, payment and search are tested automatically before every deploy.
Mehr erfahrenWordPress Maintenance
Disciplined plugin and theme management with a complete component inventory and continuous vulnerability matching — including shop plugins and WordPress shop systems.
Mehr erfahrenTYPO3 Maintenance
Care within the LTS lines, extension compatibility and plannable migration to new major versions before support runs out — including multilingual enterprise installations.
Mehr erfahrenContao Maintenance
Controlled core and extension updates along the Contao LTS releases with Composer-based package management, clean staging tests and a documented rollback path.
Mehr erfahrenDrupal Maintenance
Security updates aligned with the official security advisories and their fixed release windows, module care and well-planned major upgrades for demanding installations.
Mehr erfahrenJoomla Maintenance
Core and extension updates, hardening of frequently attacked default configurations and immediate help with hacked Joomla sites — with an optional maintenance contract afterwards.
Mehr erfahrenFor online shops we go one level deeper: the Shopware maintenance page describes our managed service for revenue-critical Shopware shops with automated checkout tests and performance care, while the WordPress maintenance page covers the counterpart for WordPress websites and WordPress shop systems with payment processing. Both build on the same processes as the platform pages but add extra focus on the order process, payment integration and load behavior. For the terms, your entry page makes no difference: all systems run on the same three SLA tiers with first response in 8 hours, 4 hours or 45 minutes.
One process, six variations
The core of our approach is the same for every platform: assessment, full backup, update on a production-like staging environment, automated and manual tests, controlled deployment and a documented rollback path. What differs are the review steps: for Shopware we test checkout and payment, for WordPress the plugin compatibility, for TYPO3, Contao, Drupal and Joomla the extension and content structures.
- Backup before every change, tested for recoverability
- Platform-specific test plans instead of generic click-checks
- Rollback in minutes if an update causes problems
Vulnerability matching across all systems
Every platform maintains its own security bulletins — from Shopware security releases through the vulnerability databases of the WordPress ecosystem to the security advisories of TYPO3, Drupal, Contao and Joomla. We keep a complete inventory of every component in your installation and continuously match it against these sources. Critical flaws are patched with priority, long before the regular update cycle would reach them.
- Component inventory per system: core, plugins, extensions, themes
- Prioritized patches for critical security bulletins
- Monthly report with version status and resolved risks
How the platforms differ in maintenance
| Aspect | Shopware CE | WordPress | TYPO3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Update logic | Core releases plus plugin dependencies | Frequent core, plugin and theme updates | LTS lines with a fixed support period |
| Critical point | Checkout, payment and multi-layered caching | Plugin variety as the largest attack surface | Extension compatibility during upgrades |
| Typical risk | Update disrupts order process or performance | Outdated extension opens the door to attackers | Missed LTS migration without security updates |
| Our focus | Automated checkout tests before every deploy | Inventory and continuous vulnerability matching | Plannable migration before end of support |
The same methodology applies to Contao, Drupal and Joomla, each with its own checkpoints: we maintain Contao along the LTS releases with Composer-based package management, for Drupal we follow the official security advisories with their fixed release windows, and for Joomla the focus is on extension hygiene and hardening frequently attacked default configurations. Across more than 50 managed projects (project experience) we have translated the platform-typical pitfalls into standardized, repeatable workflows — documented in runbooks that we continuously refine. This documentation is also your safeguard: if a contact person is unavailable, every care step remains traceable.
How we get started with your platform
Platform Audit
We record version status, installed extensions, server environment and known issues of your system. The result is a condition report with a prioritized action plan — the foundation for the right maintenance contract.
One maintenance contract for every platform
- Basis €199 per month — first response within 8 hours
- Business €349 per month — first response within 4 hours
- Enterprise €699 per month — first response in 45 minutes
- Updates, monitoring, backups and reporting in every package
Basis, Business or Enterprise — the SLA tier determines response time and scope, not the platform. Minimum term 6 months.
Key Takeaways
- Maintenance by platform: Shopware CE, WordPress, TYPO3, Contao, Drupal and Joomla, each with its own care routines
- One pricing model for all systems: SLA packages from €199 per month with first response in 8 hours, 4 hours or 45 minutes
- Every update follows the documented path: backup, staging test, controlled deploy, rollback point
- Continuous vulnerability matching across the complete component inventory of all systems
- Several platforms can be bundled into one contract with unified reporting
