AEM & Adobe

Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Development

We develop and extend Adobe Experience Manager platforms so enterprise teams release faster, author more easily and finish the migrations they start. That covers AEM as a Cloud Service migrations, component and template development, headless and hybrid architectures, integrations and performance work, backed by more than ten years of AEM delivery from AEM 6.1 to Cloud Service.

Who it's for

AEM projects slow down for predictable reasons: components that are hard to author, fragile integrations, slow builds, caching nobody fully understands, and migrations that stall halfway. Adding more developers rarely fixes that. Experienced hands and a clear architecture do.

  • Enterprise teams moving from AEM 6.x, on-premise or on Adobe Managed Services, to AEM as a Cloud Service.
  • Digital teams that need extra senior AEM capacity for components, templates or integrations.
  • Organisations adopting headless or hybrid delivery with Content Fragments and GraphQL.

What you get

  • AEM components and templates built on Core Components, with authoring that editors actually like.
  • AEM as a Cloud Service migration: assessment, code refactoring, content transfer and go-live support.
  • Headless and hybrid delivery with Content Fragments, Experience Fragments and GraphQL.
  • Integrations with commerce, search, CRM and marketing tools.
  • Dispatcher, CDN and caching configuration with measurable performance targets.
  • Code quality: unit tests with AEM Mocks, code reviews and CI pipeline improvements.

What AEM work do we cover?

  • AEM as a Cloud Service and AEM 6.1 to 6.5, on-premise and on Adobe Managed Services
  • Traditional, hybrid and headless architectures, including SPA Editor and Remote SPA
  • Multi-tenant platforms and Multi Site Manager
  • Content Fragments, Experience Fragments, Dynamic Media and GraphQL
  • Core Components, custom components and unit testing with AEM Mocks
  • Dispatcher, SSI/ESI and CDN configuration
  • Adobe Edge Delivery Services

    Agree the first step

    Together we pick the smallest piece of work that makes a real difference.

  3. 03

    Build

    We build in short iterations and show progress after each iteration.

    Handover

    Documented, deployed and yours, with optional ongoing care.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a project like this cost?

It depends on scope, so we do not publish fixed prices. After a short scoping call you get a written proposal: a fixed price for well-defined work, a phased quote when parts are still unclear, or time and materials for ongoing work. The start date is agreed in the proposal.

Which AEM versions do you work with?

AEM as a Cloud Service and AEM 6.1 to 6.5, on-premise or on Adobe Managed Services, including multi-tenant platforms with Multi Site Manager.

Can you join our existing team?

Yes. We can work inside your team and follow your processes, code reviews and release cycles.

Do you help with AEM as a Cloud Service migrations?

Yes. We assess the code with Adobe's tooling, refactor what is incompatible, plan the content transfer and support the go-live.

Do you also work outside AEM?

Yes. Alongside AEM we build AI automations, internal tools and MVPs for businesses and founders, using the same engineering standards.

How is AEM development set up?

Time-based for ongoing team support, or fixed-price phases for well-defined pieces of work, agreed in a written quote after a scoping call.
