Frequently Asked Questions about Friendventure

Question 1

What does a TYPO3 project cost at an agency?

Accepted Answer

TYPO3 is usually more expensive than a comparable WordPress project because the system is designed for larger structures and requires more preliminary work for setup. A manageable corporate website starts in the mid-four-digit range, while portals with multilingualism, rights, and interfaces are significantly higher. As always, what's included is crucial: concept, content, training, and especially operations after launch.

Question 2

When is TYPO3 the right choice – and when not?

Accepted Answer

TYPO3 plays to its strengths with a lot of content, multiple languages, differentiated editorial rights, and connections to existing systems. For a five-page website of a small company, it is oversized – there it causes effort without added value. The question is not which system is better, but whether your project really needs the structure.

Question 3

What does a TYPO3 certification mean?

Accepted Answer

TYPO3 GmbH – the company behind the CMS – awards official certifications for developers, integrators, and consultants. A certification proves tested knowledge but says nothing about project experience or collaboration. It is useful as one criterion alongside references that are similar to your project.

Question 4

Who takes care of TYPO3 updates and security?

Accepted Answer

TYPO3 has fixed release cycles with clearly defined support periods; for older versions, TYPO3 GmbH offers paid extended support (ELTS). A maintenance contract should regulate who installs updates, whether they are tested on a test environment beforehand, and how quickly a response is made in case of a malfunction. Without this, no one is responsible for security vulnerabilities.

Question 5

Can I switch from TYPO3 to another system?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it's a migration, not a push of a button. Content can be exported, but the real work lies in the structure: How will grown page trees, multilingualism, and rights be mapped in the new system, and which URLs must be preserved? Those who switch should plan the step as a relaunch right away – two separate projects in a row cost more than one.

Question 6

How is the ranking on this page determined?

Accepted Answer

The ratings come from reviewfinder.org and bundle several platforms instead of just one source – the number of sources behind a rating is indicated for each entry. The placement also results from editorial criteria: TYPO3 specialization, project experience, post-launch support, transparency in the pricing model, and independence.
