Two big open source systems: Contao and TYPO3. Both are hugely popular – for bigger projects, too – but they also have different advantages. Especially in terms of software usability, it’s clear that Contao and TYPO3 are going in different directions. While the latter is very much focused on enterprise-level solutions and requires its users to have prior knowledge, Contao is directed more at beginners, bringing it closer to WordPress in this respect. Working in the back end is easy and intuitive. TYPO3, on the other hand, is more directed at professional users, who can enjoy endless possibilities with this CMS. Contao is not this flexible and finely adjustable.
What differentiates both Contao and TYPO3 from WordPress: Both systems are not slowed down by unnecessary features. Both Contao and TYPO3 impress with their high speed, which both CMS achieve when accessing the server. Apart from this, Contao and TYPO3 offer everything you could ask for in a CMS: Content can be easily created, planned, and organized. And like other CMS solutions, you can assign different roles, so that you can enjoy an efficient workflow if you’re working in the CMS in a team.
