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 flat-file content management system for websites and digital products. It stores content in files rather than requiring a database, while its Panel gives editorial teams a clear interface for managing pages, media and structured data. The system is built with PHP and supports highly tailored content models.
What teams build
Kirby suits projects where a standard theme or rigid page builder would limit the result. Companies use it for editorial websites, corporate platforms, campaign sites, portfolios, multilingual experiences and content-driven applications.
- Design custom page structures for distinct content types
- Create flexible blocks for editorial layouts
- Connect websites with commerce, search or external services
- Support multilingual publishing and structured media
Ecosystem and tooling
Strong Kirby specialists work with templates, snippets, blueprints, page models and custom Panel views. They understand Kirby’s content files, YAML configuration, Kirby Query Language and Toolkit, as well as Composer-based package management and PHP application patterns. They can also use the API when content must reach another channel.
When expertise matters
Freelance expertise is valuable when a new Kirby site needs a sound content model before design and implementation begin. It also helps during migrations from WordPress, Craft CMS or another legacy system, especially when content must be mapped into a clean page and block structure.
- A content model has become difficult to maintain
- Editors need a clearer and more focused Panel
- A site requires custom integrations or publishing workflows
- Performance, accessibility or technical quality needs review
What strong professionals deliver
Experienced Kirby professionals translate editorial needs into maintainable blueprints and intuitive workflows. They separate content, presentation and reusable logic, keep templates readable and protect content files through reliable deployment and backup practices. They also test responsive behavior, accessibility, caching and multilingual output.
Working with a specialist
A project is easier to assess when its content types, integrations, hosting setup and editorial roles are documented early. Share examples of the current site, desired publishing process and expected integrations before work begins. In Germany, remote collaboration is common, while on-site workshops can help align stakeholders; German or English communication may suit different teams.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about Kirby — answered in short.
Kirby is used to build flexible websites and content platforms with a custom editorial experience. It works well for corporate websites, portfolios, campaign pages, multilingual sites and projects that need structured content without a conventional database.
Kirby offers a file-based content model and a more focused, tailor-made Panel, while WordPress has a larger plugin ecosystem and a broader out-of-the-box publishing model. The better choice depends on the required editorial workflow, hosting preferences, integrations and level of customisation.
A strong Kirby freelancer usually combines PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript knowledge with experience in templates, snippets, blueprints and content files. Useful adjacent skills include Composer, Git, accessibility, performance tuning, multilingual publishing and API integrations.
The right level depends on the project’s content model and integrations, not simply its page count. A small site may need focused template and Panel work, while a migration or complex publishing workflow calls for deeper experience with blueprints, deployment and data transformation.
Yes. Kirby work is often well suited to remote collaboration through shared repositories, issue tracking, documentation and review sessions. For teams in Germany, remote delivery can be combined with on-site workshops when content modelling or stakeholder alignment benefits from direct discussion.
Kirby is centred on a file-based content structure and a highly customisable editorial Panel. Statamic also supports flat-file setups, while Craft CMS commonly uses a database-first model; the decision should reflect content governance, hosting, extension needs and the team’s preferred workflow.
Ask to review comparable projects and examine how clearly their content models, blueprints and templates are organised. Good Kirby work should give editors a logical Panel, keep presentation code maintainable and include attention to accessibility, performance, security and deployment.
A capable Kirby specialist maps legacy content into purposeful page types, blocks and media structures rather than copying an old model unchanged. They should plan redirects, asset handling, multilingual content, editorial permissions and validation before the new site goes live.
