A CMS for corporate communication

When standard CMS tools reach their limits, you need more than just another plugin. Working with editors and marketing experts, we’ve developed a CMS specifically designed to meet the business-critical requirements of modern corporate communications.

Custom CMS, when standard tools fail

Does your current CMS really meet the needs of your corporate communications? Many off-the-shelf systems fall short due to rigid workflows, a lack of integration, or insufficient security. Our CMS was developed in collaboration with corporate communications experts and offers exactly the building blocks that corporate websites and media/newsrooms truly need.

High usability and flexibility

Our CMS is intuitive to use and designed so that every feature can be integrated in a customized way, meeting the standards of a high-end software solution rather than a rigid, off-the-shelf CMS.

A Reliable Partner, Even After Launch

We remain your point of contact for adjustments, new ideas, and day-to-day questions, and we continue to develop your solution together with you, always keeping pace with your requirements.

I really enjoy working with the makandra CMS because it is very intuitive and user-friendly. It fits the requirements of press relations and corporate communications perfectly and at the same time offers a high level of stability.

Fast and personal support for support cases and feature requests. If you wish, we can also take care of the strategic development of your platforms and editorial activities.

FAQ

We do not have a strictly standardized process for introducing CMS to new customers. Each introduction is different and is based on the individual requirements of the customer. 

In principle, we start many CMS projects with workshops where we work to understand in detail the goals of each platform, which target groups they are addressing and what other requirements we can derive. From this, we develop the first wireframes of the future platforms and a list of requirements for the design of the CMS. We then start to adapt the CMS to the respective needs and develop a suitable design system. In addition, we deal with the migration of the content to be transferred to the new system at an early stage.

We place great value on close, transparent collaboration. Our software developers are always available to discuss technical aspects directly with you. We work in an agile way and show you the current status and finished features several times a week. This way, you always have an overview of the current status of the project. 

We do not outsource or offshore. Our entire team is based in Augsburg. We also come to our customers' premises for individual workshops or interim presentations. 
We have a dedicated team for the conception and development of successful corporate websites and media sites. In addition to best practices that we have gained in over 10 years of project experience, we also use web analytics and qualitative methods to design your website. 

Our CMS is a custom-built solution that builds on our past experience and is developed from scratch for each project. The price therefore consists of one-time development costs and ongoing operating costs.

The development costs are based on the scope of services—such as concept, design, and range of features. The operating costs depend on the hosting setup and technical management.

We'd be happy to. Please contact us, and we'll use a sample project to show you exactly how our CMS works and what possibilities it offers you.
