Last position:
Project management, typesetting, final artwork, creation of language versions at Regiolux GmbH
For Regiolux GmbH, I produced several brochures and an information sheet in seven different languages as part of this project. To make the offset printing especially efficient and cost-effective, I created all language versions in Adobe InDesign on separate layers. This meant that the different versions could be produced simply by replacing the black printing plate – a simple but effective solution.
In addition to implementation according to the corporate design, my tasks included final artwork and the creation of web and print PDFs. I also coordinated communication with translation agencies and printers, ensuring a smooth project process.

About the technology
Kirby at a glance
Kirby is a file-based content management system for creating fast, flexible websites without relying on a traditional database. The Kirby CMS stores content in files and folders, while its Panel gives editorial teams a clear interface for managing pages, media and structured data. It is built with PHP and is known for a lightweight core and strong control over the final site.
What teams build
Kirby supports editorial websites, corporate platforms, campaign pages, portfolios, publishing sites and multilingual web presences. Its flexible content structure fits projects where content models must reflect the organisation rather than force teams into fixed templates.
- Corporate and brand websites
- Editorial and publishing platforms
- Multilingual content experiences
- Custom content portals and microsites
Ecosystem and tooling
Kirby specialists work with blueprints, templates, snippets, blocks, collections and KirbyTags to shape both content and presentation. They use the Kirby Panel for editorial workflows and can extend the system through plugins, custom routes, queries and hooks. PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript are common parts of the surrounding stack, alongside Git and deployment tooling.
When expertise matters
Companies often bring in freelance Kirby expertise when a new site needs a carefully designed content model, when an existing installation requires a major redesign, or when editors need a smoother workflow. Specialist support is also useful for migrations, multilingual structures, performance work, accessibility improvements and integrations with external services.
- Define blueprints and reusable page structures
- Migrate content from another CMS
- Connect search, forms, commerce or external APIs
- Prepare reliable releases and backups
Working in Germany
Kirby is a practical choice for German organisations that need editorial control, tailored content structures and a maintainable web presence. Freelance professionals can collaborate remotely with teams across Germany or work on site when workshops, content modelling and stakeholder reviews benefit from close coordination. German-language communication may matter for editorial training and project documentation.
Signs of strong specialists
Strong Kirby professionals explain the trade-offs between file-based content and database-backed systems in clear terms. They design blueprints that remain usable as content grows, keep templates maintainable and separate editorial needs from presentation logic. Look for a portfolio showing custom Kirby CMS work, thoughtful Panel workflows, secure integrations and accessible front ends, then ask how they test migrations, permissions and deployments.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about Kirby — answered in short.
Kirby is used to create custom websites, editorial platforms, portfolios, campaign sites and multilingual corporate presences. Its file-based approach works well when teams want a flexible content model and a fast, focused editorial interface.
Kirby usually offers more direct control over content structures and the rendered site, while WordPress provides a larger plugin ecosystem and a database-based setup. The better choice depends on the editorial workflow, integration needs and level of customisation required.
A strong Kirby CMS specialist typically works comfortably with PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Useful adjacent skills include information architecture, accessibility, responsive front-end work, Git, deployment processes and integrations with APIs, search or commerce services.
The required experience depends on the scope rather than a fixed number of years. A small template adjustment may need focused Kirby knowledge, while a migration or complex plugin requires experience with blueprints, hooks, permissions, caching, testing and deployment.
Kirby can support German organisations with multilingual content, tailored editorial workflows and sites that meet local accessibility and content requirements. A specialist who understands German-language publishing processes can make workshops, documentation and editor training more effective.
Yes, most Kirby work can be handled remotely through shared repositories, issue tracking, staging environments and structured reviews. On-site sessions can still help with content modelling, stakeholder workshops or training editorial teams in Germany.
Review live examples and ask how the specialist designed blueprints, handled content migrations and kept templates maintainable. Good Kirby work also demonstrates clear permissions, secure integrations, accessible output, documented deployment steps and a Panel that editors can use without unnecessary friction.
A Kirby project may involve much more than templates: content architecture, Panel customisation, plugin design, migration logic and operational support can all matter. Clarify the Kirby version, hosting setup, licensing, editorial roles, external integrations and who owns content entry before estimating the work.
