Why TYPO3 CMS?

The TYPO3 Content Management System saw the light of the CMS world in 2001. Since then it has been constantly developed. Especially in the last years this development has been faster than ever and has declassed all "competitors" systems in terms of functionality and usability.

Editor in focus

The TYPO3 editing interface is responsive, modern, fast and focuses on the editor and his daily work. It is possible to work with the computer, tablet or even with the smartphone in the CMS. The modern text editor ckeditor works excellently in the daily text work. Since version 8 it is even possible to edit content directly in the website with the new "Frontend Editing" without using the editing interface. Integrated image cropping tools allow individual image cropping for different responsive views of the website. The system reacts very quickly even on average hosting packages. With the structurable content elements, even complex layouts can be edited clearly. Pages and content can be moved and duplicated at lightning speed using drag and drop. Contact and other forms can be created easily with the assistant and adapted at any time. Multimedia content in the form of audio or video, even from external platforms such as YouTube, can be easily integrated. With a structured page tree you can keep track of menu structures even in complex websites. In a team you can easily edit and activate content together. This list could be continued for a very long time, but the great possibilities of the system should be more than clear by now.

Complete freedom of design

As a developer and designer, TYPO3 gives you absolute freedom of design for your customers, as there are no predefined paths in which functions or designs must run. TYPO3 is also otherwise unlimited in every respect. You can run any number of languages in any number of websites in parallel, which can all have any number of pages in any number of menu levels and can be edited in parallel by any number of editors. But TYPO3 is also suitable for small projects because of the now available starter kits, often based on CSS design frameworks like Twitter Bootstrap. And if a project grows, the system will never have to be changed in the future, but only expanded.

All this is available free of license fees and with the great certainty that you will enjoy your initial investment for a long time to come, because updating to newer TYPO3 versions has always been well supported from the beginning and you never have to lose content when changing to newer TYPO3 versions. We haven't found a system comparable to TYPO3 that offers all this together, is well documented and has a very friendly and helpful developer community.

Security

Another important aspect is security. TYPO3 is at the top of the Content Manangent Systems when it comes to security. In all other "competing" systems, hack attacks, which can have terrible consequences for a website operator, such as Google blocking, theft of personal data and much more, occur significantly more often. The absolute negative record is set by the blog system Wordpress. This can also be read in the "Hacked Web-Site Report 2017".

Search engine optimization

Equally important is a good search engine optimization (SEO) of the website. Here TYPO3 offers fantastic possibilities also by the fact that you can adjust and optimize the HTML output of the frontend to the last detail. Often customers decide to use the supposedly cheaper Wordpress ready templates, but regret this decision all too often for SEO reasons. Here is a "nice" example for the catastrophic Google Page Speed of no less than 0 of a Wordpress installation of a restaurant website, whereby one must of course note that the service provider simply did a bad job. Nevertheless, Wordpress with its large number of poor quality templates for projects with small budgets often tempts the customer to invest little time and thus do the customer a disservice.
