Project management, typesetting, final artwork, creation of language variants at Regiolux GmbH
For Regiolux GmbH, I produced several brochures and an info sheet in seven different languages in this project. To make offset printing especially efficient and cost-effective, I implemented all language variants in Adobe InDesign on separate layers. This way, the different versions could be produced by simply swapping the black printing plate—a simple but effective solution.
In addition to working according to the corporate design, my tasks also included final artwork and creating web and print PDFs. I coordinated communication with translation agencies and printers, ensuring a smooth project flow.

About the technology
Kirby at a glance
Kirby is a file-based content management system for sites that need clean editing, strong structure, and full control over content. It is often chosen for marketing sites, editorial portals, product pages, and custom web projects where flexibility matters more than a rigid default setup.
What experts deliver
- Custom page types, fields, and blueprints
- Templating, routing, and content workflows
- Multilingual sites and structured content
- Integrations with APIs, forms, and external services
Why companies hire freelance help
Teams bring in Kirby specialists when a site needs a new build, a redesign, or a clean migration from another CMS. They also help when content editing has become messy, templates are hard to maintain, or a project needs faster delivery without adding permanent staff.
Ecosystem and tools
Strong Kirby professionals work comfortably with PHP, Twig-style templating, JSON or YAML content files, and modern front-end tooling. They know how to keep the admin panel simple for editors while shaping content models that still support complex layouts and reusable components.
What good work looks like
A good Kirby specialist writes clear templates, keeps the content structure easy to understand, and avoids unnecessary custom code. They think about editorial comfort, performance, and maintainability from the start, not only after launch.
Germany project fit
In Germany, companies often look for Kirby expertise for bilingual sites, local editorial teams, and custom business websites that need tight control over content. Remote collaboration is common, but on-site work can help when stakeholders want close input on structure, language, and publishing needs.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about Kirby — answered in short.
Kirby is used to build custom websites with structured content, flexible page layouts, and a simple editing experience. It fits marketing sites, editorial properties, portfolios, and smaller digital products that do not need a heavy CMS stack. Teams choose it when they want control over the site structure without giving up day-to-day editor usability.
Kirby is file-based, so content lives in readable files instead of a traditional database-driven setup. That makes it attractive for custom builds and lean deployments, while WordPress is often chosen for broader plugin ecosystems and faster off-the-shelf setups. A good freelancer can explain which approach fits the project, not just push one tool.
A Kirby specialist is useful when content models, templates, and editorial workflows need careful design. They are especially valuable for migrations, multilingual builds, custom blueprints, and integrations that must stay maintainable. If the site has grown beyond a simple brochure page, specialist help usually pays off quickly.
A strong Kirby freelancer usually brings solid PHP knowledge, HTML and CSS, and practical JavaScript skills for front-end interactions. Experience with APIs, deployment, and version control is also important. For larger projects, they should understand content architecture and how editors actually work.
Yes, Kirby is a good fit for multilingual websites because its content structure can be shaped around language-specific pages and fields. That matters for teams in Germany that need German and English content, or other local language combinations. It also helps when different teams own different parts of the site.
A simple Kirby site can be handled by a capable generalist, but custom models, migrations, and complex editorial setups need someone with proven Kirby experience. The more the project depends on content structure, reusable blocks, and integrations, the more important specialist depth becomes. Ask for examples that match your site type, not only generic CMS work.
Look at how the Kirby CMS setup is structured, not only how the site looks. Good work is clear in the blueprints, template organization, content naming, and editor flow. A strong portfolio should show maintainable sites that are easy to extend without breaking the content model.
Most Kirby projects can be delivered remotely, especially if requirements are clear and editors are available for feedback. On-site sessions can help early in the project when teams need to align on content structure, language rules, and publishing habits. Many German companies use a mix of both depending on the project phase.
