TYPO3 → Webflow

TYPO3 to Webflow Migration

From TYPO3 to Webflow,
easier to maintain, faster to deliver.

TYPO3 is powerful but often cumbersome to maintain and develop further. We bring your website to Webflow, with a clear structure, a clean content move and protected rankings.

What it's about

Why companies are leaving TYPO3 behind.

In German-speaking countries, TYPO3 is especially common among mid-sized companies, associations and public institutions. It can do a lot but requires developer knowledge for templates, extensions and version upgrades. Major upgrades between main versions quickly become projects of their own.

That's why many teams want a website that marketing can maintain itself, without needing developers for every change. Webflow offers exactly that, with a visual editor, flexible CMS collections and hosting without a server of your own.

What matters in TYPO3 migrations

A thorough audit: page tree, content elements, multilingual content, files and organically grown URL structures. From that, we plan the new structure and every redirect.

Benefits

What you gain after the move.

01

Maintenance without developers

Your team edits copy, images and news in the editor itself.

02

No version upgrades

Webflow is developed centrally, with no big upgrade projects.

03

Modern design

A fresh presence without the limits of old templates.

04

Multilingual

Language versions with Webflow Localization, neatly in one place.

Comparison

TYPO3 and Webflow compared.

Two very different approaches to company websites.

Criterion

Value A

Value B

Maintenance | Backend with page tree, training required | Visual editor right on the page Further development | Templates and extensions by developers | Design and structure extendable visually Upgrades | Major version upgrades as separate projects | Platform updated centrally Hosting | Own server with PHP and database | Hosting, SSL and CDN included Permissions & roles | Very finely controllable | Roles for editors and designers, depending on plan Multilingual | Strong but complex | Webflow Localization with separate language paths Large portals | Built for very large page trees | Ideal for company websites and marketing

Process

How the move from TYPO3 works.

Structured, with a plan for every page and every language.

Audit

Fully record page tree, content elements, languages, files and rankings.

Structure & concept

New information architecture, CMS collections and a redirect plan for every old URL.

Design & build

New design and build in Webflow following Client-First.

Content transfer

Content, media and language versions transferred in a structured way and checked.

Launch & SEO protection

301 redirects, sitemap, Search Console and monitoring after go-live.

Classification

An honest assessment.

Switching is worth it if

  • marketing should maintain the website itself
  • a major TYPO3 upgrade is coming up
  • the presence looks outdated and needs a redesign

TYPO3 still makes sense if

  • you run a very large portal with many editorial teams and fine-grained permissions
  • deep integrations into internal systems are built on TYPO3
  • hosting on your own infrastructure is mandatory

FAQs

Not if the migration is planned properly. We carry over content and meta data, redirect every old URL to the matching new page via 301 redirect and check Search Console and error pages after launch. Short fluctuations are normal, the foundation stays intact.

That mainly depends on the number of pages and the amount of content, and on whether we redesign. After the audit, you get a clear timeline with milestones.

The effort depends on scope, design and features. After a short initial consultation and a look at your current site, you get a transparent quote.
