Forge12 is a small senior studio: custom WordPress, WooCommerce and TYPO3 development, our own plugins and AI — direct from the founder, since 2018.
Forge12 Interactive is a founder-led software studio from Donaueschingen, Germany, established in 2018 by Marc Wagner. It builds custom software — WordPress, WooCommerce and TYPO3 solutions, custom plugins, web applications and AI features — personally and at fixed prices. The repository and code belong to the client (no lock-in).
Most systems are built by agencies: project done, invoice sent, that's it. What happens afterwards — updates, security, performance — often interests no one. Until it breaks.
Forge12 does both: build and operate. From one hand, no sales funnel, no subcontractors, no offshore. You work directly with the founder.
You don't have to commit: an audit, a single sprint or a plugin from the shop works just as well as ongoing maintenance. You decide how far it goes.
Unambiguous statements. No room for interpretation. What's said, holds.
What we take on, we see through. No excuses, no finger-pointing.
Less is more. Fewer features, less complexity, fewer dependencies.
Decisions are made for years, not weeks. Sustainability over speed.
A small studio doesn't mean shallow. We build and operate our own production SaaS — and the enterprise infrastructure behind it (central SSO, data processing, GDPR) already runs in production with us.
Invisible bot & spam protection. Our own SaaS — GDPR-compliant, without annoying captchas.

Forge12 doesn't sell an open hourly rate but clear results: fixed-price sprints, plugins with a yearly license and maintenance at a fixed price. You know upfront what it costs and what you get — code, repository and access are yours in the end.
