A familiar law firm website. Kept technically up to date.
RugeKrömer is a Hamburg law firm specialising in employment law. Its website presents the firm's services for different target groups, its lawyers and their seminar dates. Since January 2023, we have provided technical support for the website, carrying out version upgrades and other changes to the existing site.
Presenting services and contacts clearly.
The website offers entry points for companies, the public sector and executives. In addition, profiles present the firm's lawyers.
Our role is to provide technical support for this existing website. When preparing and implementing changes, we take the existing content, page structures and features into account.
Technical development since 2023.
Our support includes several version upgrades and additional changes to the website. The steps below show the work so far.
Upgrade to TYPO3 11.5
We took over support in January 2023. The website was running on TYPO3 8.7; we upgraded it to 11.5 via the intermediate versions 9.5 and 10.4. The new version went live in March 2023.
Data protection changes
In February 2023, we made data protection changes to the website; among other things, the fonts have been embedded locally since then.
Upgrade to TYPO3 12.4
The move to TYPO3 12.4 followed in May 2025, after preparation on the test system from March 2025.
Services, profile, seminars.
Separate entry points for different concerns.
The service pages are aimed at companies, the public sector and executives. They explain what the firm offers each group; the individual profiles round this off with the contacts.
The lawyers also work as lecturers. The seminar page lists the seminars with date, location, organiser and topic; the “Seminare von” selection shows the dates of individual people. A full-text search covers not only the pages but also seminars, books, essays, judgments and journal articles. The pages on the firm, the services and the lawyers as well as the contact page are also available in English.
The seminar selection, search and English version are part of the existing website. We keep them working through each version upgrade: for the move to TYPO3 12, we adapted the seminar selection and the search indexing to the new version, and in July 2025 we revised the query behind the seminar selection.
TYPO3 13 ready on the test system.
In April 2026, the firm commissioned the move to TYPO3 13. In June 2026, we implemented it on the test system and also updated the extensions that the seminar list and search are based on.
The new version has not yet been published.
The project in numbers.
