Your Website Is Your Most Important Sales Channel

Utility companies are trusted local brands. Your website is often the first point of contact for your customers — whether for tariff changes, outage reports, or information about new services. An outdated website costs not only trust, but also customers to digital competitors.

At the same time, utility companies face particular requirements: accessibility compliance (BFSG), data protection under GDPR, and often multi-tenant structures for swimming pools, parking facilities, or subsidiaries. We've understood these requirements for over 20 years and focus on performant, accessible frontends with well-thought-out information architecture.

We'll audit your existing utility website for free — covering accessibility, performance, and areas for improvement — and show you exactly where action is needed.

Our Services for Utility Companies

Utility companies need more than a standard website. We develop tailored digital solutions designed for the specific challenges of the energy sector — from tariff calculators to multi-site management.

Custom Tariff Calculators

Custom-built rate calculators that offer users a simple tariff selection — with user-friendly operation and direct integration into TYPO3 or alternatively via API connection to an existing online portal. Electricity, gas, water, or fiber: your customers instantly see the right tariff.

Multi-Site Management

With TYPO3, you manage multiple websites centrally while still customizing each one individually. Ideal for utility companies with swimming pools, parking facilities, transit operators, or other subsidiaries. One installation, many websites — consistent corporate design with individual flexibility. Learn more in our case study.

Digital Energy Mix Disclosure

Modern energy mix disclosure for your web design: present your energy sources in a contemporary, customizable format — mobile-optimized and easily editable by content editors. Meets all regulatory requirements and integrates seamlessly into your website. Interactive charts instead of static PDFs.

Service Availability Checker

Offer your customers precise availability checks with address-specific results. Versatile for fiber connections, power grids, district heating, or other infrastructure services. Intuitive operation, instant results, and flexible API integration with existing systems.

Accessible Web Design (BFSG-Compliant)

Legally compliant accessible websites meeting BFSG (German Accessibility Act) and WCAG 2.1 standards. High contrast, keyboard navigation, and clear structure ensure accessibility for all user groups. Particularly relevant for utility companies and energy providers.

Performance-Optimized Web Design

Fast load times and optimal performance for your utility company website. Efficient caching strategies and modern technologies ensure a smooth user experience — even during peak traffic. A fast website also improves your Google ranking, as performance is a key SEO factor.

Customer Portal Integration

Seamless integration of your existing customer portal into the new website. Whether Schleupen, Wilken, or other industry solutions — we ensure a smooth transition between the website and the protected customer area. Your customers find everything in one place.

Hosting, Maintenance & Data Protection

Reliable hosting in Germany with GDPR-compliant data processing. Regular updates, security monitoring, and technical support keep your website current and legally compliant. Especially important for critical infrastructure operators.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

So your customers can actually find you: SEO is built in from the start. Clean page structure, fast load times, optimized meta data, and local search optimization ensure you're visible for relevant queries in your region — from "utility company + city" to "switch electricity tariff".

Outage Communication & News

Quick, straightforward publishing of outage reports, construction updates, or current news directly through the CMS. Your customers are always informed — without IT involvement. Optional push notifications and RSS feeds included.

Why We Use TYPO3

Our market analysis shows: out of 176 utility company websites analyzed, 52 run on TYPO3 — more than any other CMS. This market leadership is no coincidence:

  • Multi-site from a single installation: Utility company, swimming pool, parking, transit — each division gets its own website, centrally managed with individual designs and dedicated editors.
  • Granular permissions: The pool editors only see swimming pool content, the transit team manages their own schedules independently. No accidental overwrites.
  • Enterprise stability: LTS versions with years of security updates and a non-profit organization behind the project guarantee long-term planning security.
  • No vendor lock-in: Open source means full independence. The code is yours — you can switch service providers at any time.
  • Security for critical infrastructure: A dedicated security team, multi-factor authentication, and regular patches — essential for companies that are prime targets for cyberattacks.
  • Accessibility without compromise: Full control over HTML markup enables BFSG-compliant implementation without being constrained by pre-built templates.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to develop a utility company website?

Development time depends on the project scope. A standard website with CMS typically takes 8–12 weeks; more complex projects with tariff calculators and multi-site setup tend toward 12–20 weeks. We create a detailed timeline after the requirements analysis.

Can our employees manage the website themselves?

Yes, the TYPO3 system is specifically designed for editors without IT skills. We train your team personally and provide additional documentation if needed. Most content can be easily edited by your staff — text, images, tariffs, outage reports, and more.

What does a utility company website cost?

Costs vary depending on requirements. A basic website starts at around €15,000; more complex solutions with tariff calculators and multi-site from €25,000. You always receive a detailed fixed-price quote with no hidden costs — important for your budget planning and any procurement procedures.

Is the website accessible under BFSG?

Yes, we develop all websites according to current BFSG requirements and WCAG 2.1 standards. This includes high contrast, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and clear page structure. Accessibility is not just a legal obligation — it also shows that you take all customers seriously.

Do you also offer hosting and maintenance?

Yes, we offer reliable hosting in German data centers with GDPR compliance. Including regular updates, security monitoring, and technical support. This keeps your website always current and secure — especially relevant for critical infrastructure operators.

Can existing systems be integrated?

Yes, we integrate your existing systems via secure APIs. Whether customer management, billing system, online portal, or outage reporting system — we ensure seamless data connectivity without media breaks. Experience with common industry solutions is in place.

Why TYPO3 and not WordPress?

TYPO3 is specifically designed for complex, professional websites and offers enterprise features like multi-site management, granular permissions, and workflow management. For utility companies with multiple tenants and strict security requirements, TYPO3 is the clearly better choice. More in our guide: TYPO3 for Utility Companies.

Do our subsidiaries get their own websites too?

Yes, that's exactly what multi-site management is for. Swimming pools, parking facilities, transit operators, or other subsidiaries each get their own website with individual design — managed through a single TYPO3 installation. This saves costs and significantly simplifies maintenance.

Is SEO included with the website?

Search engine optimization is built in from the start. Clean page structure, fast load times, optimized meta data, and a technically sound foundation ensure your website is found for relevant search queries. On request, we also offer advanced SEO services.
