About TYPO3 CMS
TYPO3 is an open source content management system written in PHP. It is used to build websites, intranets and portals, especially for organizations that need strong permissions and multi-language sites.
What it does
Editors manage pages, text and media in a browser-based backend. Administrators set permissions so that each editor sees only the parts of the site they should change. Developers extend the system with extensions and templates, and the software can serve several sites from one installation.
Key features
- Manage pages, content and media in a browser
- Set permissions for editors and administrators
- Extend the system with community extensions
- Run several sites from one installation
- Build multi-language websites
Who it's for
TYPO3 suits public bodies, universities, large companies and agencies that build complex sites. Developers who prefer PHP and want a long-lived system also choose it.
Pricing and good to know
TYPO3 is open source and free to download and use. Hosting, development and support are separate costs. The project is run by a volunteer community with a not-for-profit association, which funds development. Plan for hosting, updates and developer time when you estimate a project.
