Daily Editorial Content

Drupal CMS Platform

Ongoing Development

haustec.de is Germany's largest building technology portal and provides professional tradespeople with daily relevant trade information. Publisher Alfons W. Gentner was looking for an agency to build a publishing platform from the ground up — as an alternative to the Drupal distribution approach Thunder, tailored to the requirements of a high-frequency trade portal.

arocom won the pitch among 12 agencies. The requirements: Paragraphs and Dynamic Token Lists (DTLs) as content building blocks, structured content types (Basic page, Article, Sidebar), integrations with newsletter tools, identity server, and social media platforms. The goals: increase reach and attract loyal, registered users.

arocom developed a content management system for haustec.de based on Drupal, precisely tailored to the requirements of a trade portal with daily publication.

Editorial Workflow

Structured editorial processes: create articles, manage image galleries, plan and approve content — all within an intuitive interface.

Performance & Stability

Optimized caching strategies and server-side configuration for stable load times, even during traffic spikes from breaking industry news.

Continuous Development

Ongoing feature development: new content types, improved image processing, integration of current web standards.

Latest Standards

Regular updates to current Drupal versions, security patches, and adaptation to new browser requirements.

Daily editorial content and image galleries are reliably published — without technical bottlenecks. arocom supports haustec.de as a long-term technical partner with clear responsibilities: security maintenance, hosting, idea tickets, feature/change requests, and service/support.

The platform has outgrown the portal. Today, the haustec ecosystem includes several line extensions: ACADEMY (education), AWARD (industry awards), and haustec TV (video content).
