Welcome
This site serves to provide editor-oriented demonstrations and video tutorials related to using TYPO3 and TYPO3 extension modules.
What is TYPO3?
TYPO3 is a content management system - a system that allows users to update, edit, modify, add, and remove content from their website. Updates are done through a web browser.
TYPO3's "front end" editing interface lets users make updates to text or content on their web site simply by logging in through their web browser (internet explorer, firefox, etc.) and clicking a pencil next to the relevant section (demo).
TYPO3's "back end" interface lets users perform these same functions, plus others such as adding pages, changing titles, re-arranging menus, and much more. (demo)
TYPO3 is award winning, enterprise-level, free, and open source; and can be tailored to business to meet internet, intranet and extranet needs.
TYPO3 is a feature rich, scalable and modular platform for which hundreds of functions and extensions are available or can be developed to meet specific business and website requirements.
"Out of the box", the TYPO3 cms includes functionality such as:
- easy browser based page editing
- multiple language capablility

- editor profiles with granular security controls - only allow editors to modify appropriate site sections
Extension modules are available for purpose such as:
