Technical knowledge needed

It is a highly specialized CMS and requires advanced technical skills in terms of setup while mastering it takes a lot of effort. You will need a professional partner to both build and guide you through the first steps in TYPO3.

Ability to customize

One of the biggest strengths of the platform relies on the wide diversity of functions it offers. With TYPO3, you can add extensions to both of your front and back-end: from user administration to security features, page builders and more. It is therefore endlessly customizable.

Scalability

The large spectrum of possibilities offered by TYPO3 is more demanding, making it a more suitable solution for large corporate portals and e-commerce platforms.

Support

TYPO3 relies on a large and active community, which usually provides you with quick help to your technical problems. However, similarily with other CMSs, the support of the site will in almost all cases, come from either your internal IT-department or your certified partner.

Performance

The structure of the website influences its performance. For instance, if the website has too many plug-ins, the performance may decrease.

Security

TYPO3 is considered to have a high level of security, because its framework is built with different security layers. In the end it may be difficult to be hacked if compared to other CMSs. Ultimately the level of security is a product of how well it was coded.

Technology

TYPO3 uses technologies such as PHP7+ and MySQL version 5.5 upwards. In addition, DBAL extensions allow Oracle, MS-SQL, PostgreSQL, ODBC, and LDAP databases.
