From plugin to product.
WordPress, WooCommerce, Typo3, AI automation. We build, maintain, and refine work into our own products.
Forge12 offers three service areas: custom software development (MVP/SaaS, APIs, web apps), fixed-price sprints as a risk-free start (from €2,900) and AI & automation (RAG chatbots, n8n). Delivered personally by founder Marc Wagner, fixed prices, and the code belongs to the client.
Three floors. One studio.
Maintenance keeps the engine warm. Sprints ship features you see immediately. Recurring patterns turn into products — plugins, SaaS tools, our own IP. This isn't an agency model, it's a studio.
- Fixed-price sprints instead of hourly billing
- Direct line to the founder
- The code is yours — repo, hosting, everything
- No subcontractors, no offshore

What we build.
From intro call to go-live.
Understand.
30-min call. We listen, ask hard questions, send an honest assessment — no 80-slide pitch decks.
Fixed price.
2-week sprint with clear scope and a fixed date. No hourly billing, no hand-wavy estimates.
Deliver.
You see progress every day. Staging, code in the repo, Loom updates every Thursday.
Let go.
Roll-out, docs, handover. Optional: the studio retainer takes over maintenance.
Fixed prices. No surprises.
All prices net, plus VAT.
