The market

Software development in Cologne in context

Who commissions us here

Common requests: a portal for partners or members, an internal approval and planning tool, or replacing an overloaded CMS with something editors will actually use.

FAQ

Questions from Cologne

Does Quavon model editorial and approval workflows?
Yes, and it is one of the most common cases in the Cologne market. Roles, draft states, approval stages and publication times belong in the data model, not in an email agreement. We model the process as it actually runs, even where that differs from the version in the handbook.
Is moving away from WordPress or TYPO3 worth it?
Only with a reason. For pure content sites with many editors an established CMS often remains the right call. Once logic, roles, integrations or load times dominate, a custom application with headless content is usually more maintainable than a stack of plugins. We tell you in the first call which case you are in.
Does Quavon work with clients in Cologne without an office there?
Yes. We work from Rosenheim in Bavaria and travel to Cologne for kick-offs, workshops and acceptance sessions. In between, collaboration runs on a weekly rhythm: a shared board, a test environment you can open at any time, and a working version to look at every Friday. Most of our clients see more of the work this way than they did with an agency in their own city.
What does a software project for a company in Cologne cost?
It depends on the number of user roles, the integrations and how much of your process has to be modelled. We do not quote a figure before we understand that. After the first call you get a written estimate with the blocks separated, so you can decide what belongs in version one and what waits for later. If your budget and the scope do not match, we say which parts to cut rather than quietly reducing quality.
