TYPO3 is a heavy-hitter in the world of Enterprise Content Management Systems (CMS). It’s known for its flexibility, but it can be a bit intimidating at first. Here are five questions to get you up to speed:

To be honest: it has a learning curve. While the backend for editors (people adding text and images) is quite intuitive once set up, the technical backend for developers requires specialized knowledge, particularly in TypoScript, TYPO3's unique configuration language.

While WordPress is the king of ease-of-use and plugins, TYPO3 wins on scalability and strict architecture. It handles "Multi-Site" management (running 50 different websites from one login) much more natively and offers more granular user permissions right out of the box.

It’s the ideal choice for:

• Large organizations with complex hierarchies.
• Multilingual websites (it handles 30+ languages seamlessly).
• Developers who want total control over the output and long-term stability (LTS versions are supported for years).
