Liferay Development: Portlets, Fragments & DXP Customizing
Custom Liferay development for portals, intranets and digital platforms. From portlets and fragments to React frontends and complex API integrations – all from a single source.
- Client Extensions
- React, Angular & Vue.JS
- Liferay Fragments & Portlets
- ElasticSearch Integration
- AI Integration
- Docker & Kubernetes
Portalworks builds custom Liferay solutions – from individual portlets to complete enterprise portals.
Whether embedded in your existing development team or working fully independently: we design, develop and deliver. With more than 50 completed projects, we know the platform's pitfalls inside out – and we know what works.

Our development process
Five phases – from analysis to aftercare.
Requirements analysis & concept
We capture your requirements, assess the technical feasibility in Liferay and create a concept with a timeline. On request with a fixed-price quote.
UX & Design
Wireframes, mockups and design alignment – either based on your existing corporate identity or as a completely new design.
Implementation
Development in sprints with regular demos. You can follow progress continuously – no black-box development.
Quality assurance & testing
Functional, performance and cross-browser testing. If required, also automated tests and CI/CD integration.
Go-live & handover
Deployment to your infrastructure or our hosting. Full documentation and optional handover to your internal team.
