What is TYPO3? Open-source CMS for complex platforms
The advantages of TYPO3
Open source
As an open-source content management system (CMS), TYPO3 offers a variety of advantages. It is free of license costs and benefits from a large community that continuously develops the system through a community-based approach. In contrast to other open-source CMS, TYPO3 also has its own security team that constantly ensures the system's security. These and numerous other advantages make TYPO3 particularly suitable for medium and large companies.
Expandable
The functionality of TYPO3 CMS can be greatly expanded and customized through extensions. Behind TYPO3 is a community of experts who continuously optimize the CMS, provide extensions, and regularly update them. If there is no extension available for your specific use case, we can develop one exactly according to your requirements. We can also handle the individual integration of third-party systems or the customization of external systems for data integration or migration without any issues. We are happy to develop the appropriate interface for you.
Safe
When it comes to security, TYPO3 lives up to its claim as an Enterprise CMS. It offers excellent security management and maximum protection against attacks and failures. A dedicated security team continuously works on the development of security features and concepts. Thanks to TYPO3 Long Term Support, your website receives regular updates and security patches. Additionally, with Verified Extensions, you have access to a wide range of extensions that meet TYPO3's high standards.
Intuitives Content Management
With the editor provided by TYPO3 CMS, you can maintain texts exactly as they should appear on your website later on. Through the preview, you can see how your content will be displayed on different screen sizes and devices. Adapting images for output on various devices is also not a problem. Thanks to Responsive Image Cropping, you can prepare them directly in the backend for different screen sizes without needing a separate graphics program.
Multilanguage, Multiwebsite, Multidomain
The TYPO3 CMS offers smart features for building multilingual websites for your international customers. Manage any number of languages in one installation. Create and maintain multilingual content comfortably. With the translation assistant, you can easily create language variants and keep track even on extensive multilingual websites. In addition, the editorial interface in TYPO3 can be switched to different languages, making work easier for foreign language editors.
TYPO3 supports the creation of multilingual websites through language variants and also allows the use of specific page trees for different languages or countries. The language variants are particularly easy to maintain, as all language- or country-specific websites maintain a consistent structure and navigation that only need to be translated 1:1. Alternatively, separate page trees can be used to create different page and navigation structures for individual markets. This is particularly advantageous when local marketing teams want to implement specific messages and themes for different markets.
Website performance for optimal user experience
A website that loads quickly has a positive impact on User Experience (UX) and also supports a good search engine ranking. For optimal performance, TYPO3 has a powerful caching system. This means that the website is stored temporarily and does not need to be regenerated with each visit. TYPO3 also supports the WebP graphic format, which allows for lossless compression of images and animations. This significantly increases the loading speed of your website.
More visibility thanks to SEO features
TYPO3 has a range of features that significantly increase the visibility of your website in search engines.
Automated creation and adjustment of search engine-friendly URLs
Comfortable maintenance of relevant meta, title, and robots information.
Simple implementation of multilingual XML sitemaps
Seamless integration of external SEO tools.
Easy setup of automated redirects thanks to Redirects Manager
Role-based system and Content Staging
TYPO3 supports the collaboration of larger teams in content creation and maintenance. With its granular roles and permissions system, you can determine who can view, share, modify, or delete content. TYPO3 CMS also offers various modern approaches for approval and publication processes, from the in-house Workspaces solution to more complex workflows with third-party solutions. This allows your editors to prepare, review, and finally release content before it goes live.
More security for user accounts
With Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), an additional factor is added to the combination of username and password for access. This additional factor can be a time-based password or a security key. MFA is an optional TYPO3 feature that can be implemented upon request to enhance security for user accounts. Furthermore, there is the option to set up password-protected areas for your website, accessible through a frontend login.
Your TYPO3 website as a Progressive Web App
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) bridge the gap between traditional web applications and native apps, offering companies numerous benefits. PWAs can be developed much faster and cheaper than their native counterparts and are available to your customers more quickly. For reasons like these, they are becoming increasingly popular as a solution for businesses. TYPO3 supports the creation and operation of PWAs, making you fit for the future.
TYPO3 as a Headless CMS
Formats and presentation styles on the internet are more diverse than ever today. Content is delivered on desktop PCs, smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, in native apps, PWAs, or even on displays in stores. For such a multichannel scenario, a headless approach is suitable. In the CMS, content is managed independently of the layout, and the control and display of the content are done entirely in the frontend. The development effort is lower, content only needs to be entered once, and the best possible user experience is ensured regardless of the end device. TYPO3 CMS supports headless scenarios and provides suitable extensions and interfaces to optimally support multi-channel strategies.
