Design
Content architecture, templates and administration paths defined with the teams who will work in them every day.
Technology · TYPO3
TYPO3, for deep page trees and permissions per branch.
We design, develop, integrate and evolve TYPO3 platforms for large organizations, where each entity administers its own section within a shared framework.
What we do
Design, develop, integrate, evolve.
We work across the full life of the platform, from initial framing to the changes that follow the launch.
Development
Custom theme, modules and extensions, versioned code, separate environments and review before every release.
Integration
Connection to the systems already in place: data, accounts, marketing tools and business applications.
Evolution
Adjustments, new sections and technical upgrades planned with you, without rebuilding the platform.
Your concerns
The questions an organization asks before choosing.
- Can each department manage its own section?
- That is TYPO3's very model: permissions are granted per branch of the page tree. An entity administers its own pages without reaching those of others, within a framework held centrally.
- How do we manage dozens of sites and languages?
- Several sites coexist in one instance, with distinct configurations and inherited content where useful. The difficulty shifts to governance: who decides what, and at which level.
- Are release cycles predictable?
- TYPO3 publishes long-term support versions with announced dates. That allows upgrades to be planned years ahead, which matters to an organization that budgets by cycle.
In practice
A central framework, autonomous sections.
TYPO3's value appears when several entities publish in one environment without getting in each other's way or leaving the framework.
Page tree
The page structure mirrors the real organization and carries access rights.
Permissions per branch
Each entity receives a precise scope, for reading as well as writing.
Content elements
Components defined centrally, available everywhere with their rules.
Languages and sites
Language variants and additional sites inherit the shared base.
What is decided centrally
- Components
- The available content elements and their permitted variants.
- Scopes
- How the page tree is divided between entities.
- Inheritance
- What flows down automatically and what stays local.
- Cycle
- The schedule for upgrades and test campaigns.
Integrations
A platform connected to what you already use.
We start from your existing systems and the interfaces they expose. The exact scope is defined during framing: it depends on each system, not on the technology alone.
Data and accounts
- Directory and authentication
- User accounts
- Internal databases
- Internal APIs
Marketing and content
- Email tools
- Campaign management
- Translation and multilingual
- Media library
Business applications
- CRM
- ERP
- Forms and requests
- Customer service tools
Measurement and compliance
- Analytics
- Consent management
- Logging
- Accessibility
The right fit?
What tips the decision towards TYPO3.
TYPO3 is justified by organizational scale more than by content sophistication.
Decision criteria
- Large organizationMany entities, departments or sites that each publish on their own.
- Hierarchical permissionsA need for strict scopes aligned with the organization's structure.
- Multilingual at scaleMany languages and regional variants within one instance.
- Multi-year planningAnnounced long-term support, compatible with budgeting by cycle.
Counterparts to accept
- Learning curveConfiguration is powerful and calls for specific skills.
- Editing interfaceFunctional but austere: it deserves usability work for contributors.
- Talent poolStronger in Europe than in North America, worth considering for handover.
- Framing effortThe page tree and permissions are designed before development, not after.
If the analysis shows another foundation serves your need better, we say so and point you to the right option.
Operations
What keeps the platform steady after launch.
Operations are not a contract separate from the project: they are prepared during design and continue at the pace you choose.
Environments
Separate development, staging and production, with the same deployment path every time.
Updates
Dependencies and versions tracked and tested before they are applied.
Security
Access management, logging and fixes applied according to their severity.
Backups and recovery
Verified backups and a documented restore procedure.
Monitoring
Availability, errors and response times watched, with a regular review.
Handover
Documentation and code handed to your organization, with no imposed dependency.
Use cases
What it actually looks like.
Three contexts where this approach changes daily life for teams. The interfaces shown are mockups made by our team to illustrate the point, not client projects.
Shared base
- Entity A
- Entity B
- Entity C
Each entity publishes its own news
Distinct scopes within a shared identity and structure.
VariantsStructured
- Categories
- Families
- Products
A deep page tree, kept in order
Hundreds of pages organised and administered without disorder.
MarketsSynchronised
Multiple languages and markets
Language variants inheriting from shared content.
