AGENT-READYCode that lasts — straight from the founder

Websites ready for
the agent era.

AI agents read websites — and increasingly act on them. Forge12 makes yours ready for it and runs the gateway for it ourselves, with SilentShield. Founder-led, fixed price, no lock-in — you talk to the person who builds.

Marc Wagner — founder of Forge12

One founder.
Two hands on the code.

We're deliberately lean: senior-led, the founder builds himself. That means no sales calls with people who later have nothing to do with the project. No junior devs handing your code up to seniors. You talk to me — from the first call to going live.

  • Senior-led · based in Donaueschingen · remote-first
  • 15+ years of WordPress, WooCommerce, TYPO3

We don't just talk about software — we run it.

Two of our own SaaS products in production. That's why we know what we're talking about when we build your website — and make it ready for the agent era.

SilentShield — our bot & agent gateway.

Our own SaaS inspects requests every day and detects which AI agents are on a website — and which only pretend to be. That's exactly the experience that goes into every agent-ready sprint.

  • Tells real agents from spoofed ones (Web Bot Auth)
  • Proven bot & spam protection as the foundation
  • GDPR-compliant · EU hosting · standards-based
Why this matters

  • Live chat + AI chatbot on your content
  • Knowledge base & tickets — one interface
  • GDPR · hosted in Germany · lightweight widget

Frequently asked questions.

01Who actually writes the code?

The founder himself — senior-led in the studio. No offshore, no subcontractors, no junior-to-senior hand-off. You get code from people you know.

02How quickly can you start?

First call within 48 h. Sprints usually start the following week. For maintenance takeovers from a previous provider: typically a 2-week handover.

03Aren't you too small for my project?

We take on projects we can properly get into — typically 5k to 80k €. Larger projects we break into sprints. We'd rather decline than overcommit.

04What does a sprint cost?

A 2-week sprint from 9.500 € fixed price. Larger projects are split into several sprints — you decide after each whether it continues.

05How does the plugin licence work?

An annual licence with updates and support — you pay per year and domain. No lifetime, because we actively keep developing the plugins and that's only fundable through licence renewals.

06Do you also take over from another provider?

Standard case. We run a technical audit and take over repo, hosting and maintenance — typically within 2 weeks.
