TYPO3 work with a written upgrade path
We take on TYPO3 when the scope is clear: version upgrades, template modernisation, or a greenfield install with editor roles listed in the scope. No vague “enterprise CMS” promises.
- Migrations and upgrades with cutover and redirect plans
- Editor roles and content models written before build
- GDPR and hosting constraints in the same brief
CMS delivery, scoped to a release
TYPO3 projects fail when upgrades, extensions, and content debt share one endless ticket pile. We split migration, template work, and new features into release criteria you can approve.
If a lighter CMS fits better, we say so early. For many marketing sites that is WordPress; for data-heavy product catalogs compare Pimcore or Drupal.
Editor training and backend UX matter as much as the frontend. A beautiful site that only one agency can edit fails the handover test.
What we check before a TYPO3 engagement
- Version and extension riskCore version, extension list, and packages past support are scored for upgrade urgency.
- Editor workflowsBackend user groups, workspaces, and content types are mapped to how marketing actually publishes.
- Multilingual and domainsSite config, language fallbacks, and domain routing are verified before redesign talk.
- Cache and performancePage cache, CDN, and heavy extensions on key templates are measured with owners for each fix.
Selected work with commercial stakes
Relaunch study before vendor lock-in
Requirements, localisation, and vendor-scope advice for a multi-market manufacturer relaunch.
Four-market stack under one TechOps lead
Fractional CTO across vegconomist markets plus Cultivated-X: updates, adops, performance, and incident response.
Discovery and launch on a production stack
User interviews ran in parallel with the build so the site matched what buyers asked for.
From brief to a TYPO3 release you can run
Audit and outcomes
Version, extensions, content volume, and the metric that decides whether the cycle succeeded.
Scope and ownership
Upgrade path, template ownership, and who maintains TYPO3 after launch written down.
Engineering cycle
Build against the release criteria. Extensions stay documented; unused ones leave the stack.
Integrations and GDPR
SSO, forms, and processors with consent behaviour and a written data map.
Launch and handover
Staging QA, redirect plan, backup check, and a short editor runbook.
TYPO3 work we take on
Version upgrades
Plan and execute TYPO3 upgrades with extension triage and a cutover window your ops team owns.
Template modernisation
Replace brittle frontend layers in slices while editors keep publishing.
Greenfield TYPO3 installs
New sites with content model, roles, and GDPR constraints written before the first extension.
Migrations onto or off TYPO3
Move content and URLs with redirects when TYPO3 stays or when WordPress is the better fit.
When TYPO3 is the right call
- You already run TYPO3 and need a scoped upgrade or modernisation
- Multi-site or role-heavy editorial work justifies the CMS investment
- You want GDPR and hosting decisions in the same written brief
- You need a simple marketing site and have no TYPO3 team to own it
- You expect unlimited hourly extension installs without release criteria
- You want a “market leader” pitch instead of a scoped delivery plan
TYPO3 questions
Do you migrate TYPO3 to a newer LTS version?
Yes. We audit extensions, plan the cutover, and keep redirects and content ownership in the same scope. Open-ended upgrade retainers without exit criteria are a poor fit.
TYPO3, Drupal, or WordPress?
Do you build greenfield TYPO3 sites?
Yes, when the content model and ownership justify TYPO3. For lighter marketing sites we often recommend WordPress and say so before you fund a greenfield enterprise install.
How do you handle GDPR on TYPO3?
Consent, processors, and cookie behaviour belong in the build scope. We document vendors and keep marketing tags behind consent where required.
Where are you based?
Registered in Wiesbaden. Discovery and reviews can happen in person in the Rhein-Main region; delivery runs in structured cycles.
What do you finish in week one on TYPO3?
Editor roles, extension risk, multilingual tree ownership, and who can publish under deadline.
Can our editors work without the agency after launch?
That is the handover test. Backend UX and training sit in scope with the frontend.
