TYPO3 - the Enterprise Content Management System
A content management system (CMS) allows even users without specific programming knowledge to keep a website’s content up to date at all times. This is made possible by separating the programming and design from the website’s content.
We use TYPO3, a powerful and cost-effective content management system. Since there are no license fees, the only costs involved are for design customization and training your employees. If needed, we’ll guide you through the entire planning and implementation process.
It is not always possible to implement certain functionalities or meet specific needs using existing extensions in TYPO3. In such cases, we offer custom programming based on your defined requirements. Customizing existing extensions or resolving incompatibilities resulting from TYPO3 updates is also part of our daily work.

Why an Update Makes Sense
TYPO3 has been our CMS of choice for many years and is used in most of our projects. Why? Because even after more than 20 years, it still impresses us across the board.
TYPO3 Roadmap
Generally speaking, the release cycle—or life cycle—of TYPO3 versions consists of three phases:
A new TYPO3 version is released every 18 months. This version receives official security and maintenance updates for at least three years. Security patches promptly address newly discovered vulnerabilities. This ensures that the current website can remain operational for at least three years.
Once support for an LTS version expires, the phase of paid Extended Long-Term Support (ELTS) begins. An ELTS license for the system merely maintains the status quo of the installation in terms of security and compatibility but no longer provides any further developments.
Why upgrade?
If you are planning a Long-Term Support (LTS) upgrade without modifying the design, this is referred to as a TYPO3 upgrade.
A TYPO3 upgrade involves updating your website on a purely technical basis: As part of a TYPO3 upgrade, the underlying core is updated to the desired major version (e.g., from 11.5 LTS to 12.4 LTS), and the extensions used and their associated code are updated. In contrast, a pure TYPO3 update involves only replacing the core within a single release cycle, e.g., from 11.5.20 to 11.5.21. A relaunch also includes a visual redesign.
Due to the regular LTS release cycle for TYPO3 versions, a TYPO3 upgrade to the next higher version is generally necessary every three years. The current TYPO3 version can be extended by three additional years through Extended Long-Term Support (ELTS). However, it is important to note that the larger the version jump, the greater the effort required.
An upgrade project is not only necessary at regular intervals but can also be time-consuming and complex. In particular, if, for example, the underlying PHP version is no longer supported, an upgrade of the entire system is strongly recommended for security reasons. For example, TYPO3 10.4 is only compatible with PHP 7.4, which will no longer receive security patches as of December 2022 (End of Life).
