Web Content Management System Typo3

To keep your users and customers interested, it is especially important that the information they find on your website is current and relevant. I can build your site on a superb, free, content management system called Typo3 that allows you as the owner/operator of your website to add, change and update content yourself (without contacting a specialist).

What is a Content Management System?

A Content Management System (CMS) allows non-technical users to add and maintain content within a predefined style. It separates content from design, allowing content authors to focus on what they are writing rather than its presentation. The clear distinction between design and content helps to preserve the integrity of the website's visual image, and makes it easy to create and maintain websites.

CMS Typo3

bridge2net is utilising the free Open Source CMS from Typo3 for clients who can benefit from this solution. TYPO3 is developed by the Danish programmer Kasper Skaarhoej. It is the most advanced GPL Content Management Framework available, and competes very successfully with expensive commercial products. Being an open-source project, it means notably that it is free to use, as long as you respect the GPL license. To learn more about the GPL license, visit www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php.

Here just a few of the benefits of Typo3:

  • You are in control of your website - Site content and navigation can be maintained easily by non-technical users - from any computer equipped with a modern browser and an internet connection. You don't need to involve a web agency or programmers for every little modification.
  • Real Text Editor - This allows you to edit your content as easily as in a Word processor.
  • Redesign made easy - The site layout is effectively separated from the content, making redesign a much simpler task.
  • Easy to use plug-ins - New functionality such as contact forms, calendars, guestbooks and more can easily be added.
  • Configurable access restrictions - Users are assigned roles and permissions that prevent them from touching content which they are not authorized to change.
  • Consistency of design is preserved - Authors cannot change the look and feel of the site
  • Navigation is automatically generated - Menus are generated automatically based on the database content.
  • Content scheduling - Content publication can be time-controlled, hidden for previews or require user login with password.
