TYPO3 Your agency for programming and maintenance of TYPO3 websites.
We are one of the leading TYPO3 agencies in Austria with more than 15 years of experience in programming and maintaining TYPO3 websites.
TYPO3 Agency
We have been using TYPO3 as a powerful enterprise open-source CMS since 2005 and have implemented over 150 large and small TYPO3 website projects. Our developers are among the leading TYPO3 experts in Austria. Our focus is on excellent code quality and high usability for editors. We stand by TYPO3 as a flexible, stable open-source system that can be used to implement even the most unusual customer requests.
We build and maintain both small TYPO3 websites and large multisite instances, e.g.:
Schloss Schönbrunn: Multisite instance with 7 websites
Meduni Vienna: Multisite instance with around 300 planned individual websites
Falstaff-Living and the rest of the Fallstaff family of sites with more than 90,000 pages of content
Lower Austrian State Health Agency: Multi-site instance with approx. 60 individual websites
What makes a Good TYPO3 Website
TYPO3 Programming and Maintenance You can Count On
Forward Planning
In our designs, we rely on smart ideas and perfect craftsmanship instead of short-lived trends. We make websites that focus on customer benefits. By this we also mean the sustainability of the digital solution. Or to put it another way: websites from Fonda last longer.
Always State-of-the-Art
Digitization means that the world is turning ever faster: new ideas are spreading globally, and consumer habits are rapidly changing. With a FONDA TYPO3 maintenance contract, our customers can be sure that their digital solutions remain state-of-the-art not only in terms of technology, but also in terms of content and concept.
Carefree and Safe
As a leading system, TYPO3 offers the greatest possible security: a new LTS version is released every year and a half, for which free security updates are made available for three years. With the “Extended Long-Term Support” the protection can be extended to a total of six years. Our customers with a maintenance contract do not have to worry about any of this: we take care of all security updates and ensure digital security.
In addition to the specialized TYPO3 security team, the worldwide developer community ensures security. In contrast to proprietary systems, the source code is open, so that security gaps can be quickly identified and closed.
“I have been working with TYPO3 for over 20 years and have built countless TYPO3 website with different requirements with my team. We do our best every day to provide our customers with top quality and top service in TYPO3.”
Why TYPO3?
A Future-proof Enterprise Content Management System
TYPO3 is one of the leading open-source enterprise content management systems (CMS). It forms the basis for more than 500,000 websites, portals, intranets and web and mobile apps worldwide. Due to the scalability, flexibility and the large number of functions and extensions, this system is suitable for small but sophisticated websites as well as for global, multilingual, complex corporate and organizational websites with a wealth of content and data sets. TYPO3 was created in 1997 by Kasper Skårhøjun, a Danish developer, and continues to grow rapidly.
Widely Distributed in the DACH-region.
TYPO3 is particularly widespread in the DACH region – both as an enterprise CMS and for medium-sized websites. This means that instead of being dependent on one agency, you can access numerous developer resources.
Open Source
Since TYPO3 is not associated with any license costs, valuable resources and budgets can be used for the optimal configuration and well-thought-out individualization of the system. The large, committed TYPO3 open-source Community ensures that TYPO3 is on a par with large license-based systems in terms of functionality and innovation, even in the enterprise sector. The renowned security of TYPO3 is ensured by quickly closing security gaps, among other measures.
Scalable, Flexible and Expandability
With a modular structure, TYPO3 can be adapted to the requirements and needs of any company with thousands of free extensions. The open-source code allows us to develop additional extensions in-house for specific use cases. Because of its high flexibility in terms of interfaces/APIs, TYPO3 can be easily connected to other systems (databases, CRM, ERP, sales systems, media asset management, social media, shop systems, payment, and much more).
The fact that TYPO3 runs on common server technology (PHP, MySQL and Apache or NGINX) simplifies setup and maintenance and guarantees maximum expandability.
Easy Operation for Editors – also on Smartphones
TYPO3 is characterized by high user-friendliness. Editors quickly learn how to use TYPO3. Thanks to the hierarchical, easy-to-understand structure, editors can keep track of large amounts of content. Every step – from installation to configuration and customization to daily operation – is designed to be intuitive, even on smartphones. A particular strength is the convenient management of many data sets and extensive content. For example, one website we manage has over 200,000 articles and over 90,000 pages of content.
Global Community of Experts
The widespread use of TYPO3 worldwide, and especially in German-speaking countries, ensures intensive networking between the very active developer community and other experts. This ensures the continuous further development of the system.
Suitable for Large Website Families
We have successfully used TYPO3 in several projects for large website families with dozens of individual websites within a multisite instance.
Security and Stability
Security has been one of the core values of TYPO3 for over 20 years. Free security patches are provided immediately and installed easily with little effort as part of website maintenance. However, security patches are comparatively rarely necessary because the system is generally stable and secure. Even TYPO3 installations where no security patches have been installed for years – sometimes we take over systems in such a state – are relatively secure compared to other CMS systems, because TYPO3 is generally not the focus of hackers. Nevertheless, we recommend the careful and complete application of all security patches!
Planning security is provided by the Long-Term Support that TYPO3 offers as standard for three years, which can optionally be extended by a further three years with the “Extended Plan” (ELTS). The system’s good upgradeability also ensures lasting security and stability.
Top Search and Filtering with Solr Search
The combination of Apache Solr Search and TYPO3 is unbeatable when it comes to powerful, high-performance and user-friendly search and filter functionality.
Individual Access Permissions
TYPO3 has a differentiated authorization system with which complex access authorizations and release processes for different groups, users, websites, pages and page content (e.g. workspaces, different login areas / user areas) can be managed.
Native Multilingualism
A particular strength of TYPO3 compared to many other common CMS solutions is its suitability for multilingual websites. The configuration and editorial maintenance of multilingual websites (incl. right-to-left languages such as Arabic) work easily and intuitively with TYPO3.
Adoption of Existing TYPO3 Systems
More and more frequently we are asked to take over existing TYPO3 installations from other agencies. Ideally, this happens in a coordinated manner with the help of clean documentation and a handover workshop. If this is not possible, we can manage without it 🙂
