Webdesign Carrying over content
Pages, text, images and documents are carried over, automatically when there is a lot of content.
Switching to TYPO3
Switching to TYPO3: move your website without losing content or rankings
Has your website reached its limits with WordPress, Joomla, Contao or a custom-built system? I move it to TYPO3, with content carried over cleanly, redirects for Google and training for your team.

In brief
When switching to TYPO3 pays off
Changing systems is a bigger step. It pays off when your current solution creates more work for you than it saves. Typical reasons:
- Many editors: You need more fine-grained permissions and approvals than your system offers.
- Multiple languages or websites: Translations and brands should run cleanly in one system.
- Plugin chaos: Lots of extensions make updates risky and the website slow.
- Old system with no future: The software is no longer being developed, or only one person knows how it works.
- Security and longevity: You want predictable long-term support versions with security updates.
Not every website needs TYPO3. If another system suits you better, I will tell you honestly.
What I pay attention to
A move without nasty surprises
A system change succeeds or fails with the planning. I clarify these points before the first click.
Protecting rankings
Every old address gets a redirect to the new page, so Google and visitors can find it.
Improving the structure
The move is a chance to tidy up navigation and page layout.
Rebuilding features
Forms, downloads, news or interfaces are implemented cleanly in TYPO3.
Test environment
The new website is built in parallel. Your old one stays online until everything is right.
Training
Your team gets to know TYPO3 using your own website, live and online.
Which system are you moving to TYPO3 from?
| Current system | Typical reason for switching | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress | Many plugins, too few permission options for large teams | Content can be carried over easily |
| Joomla | Outdated version, difficult updates | The structure is often reorganized |
| Contao | Few service providers nearby | Similar page concept, the move is usually easy to plan |
| Custom-built system | Dependent on one person, no updates | Features are rebuilt in TYPO3 |
| Website builder | Too few options, monthly fees | Content is usually carried over by hand |

The new structure, content elements and redirects are planned. You get a fixed-price quote.
Build and transfer
The TYPO3 website is built in a test environment, and content is carried over and checked.

Frequently asked questions about switching to TYPO3
Will I lose my Google rankings when I switch?
With clean redirects, usually not. Every old address is redirected to the matching new page. Brief fluctuations after the switchover are normal.
Will all content be carried over?
Yes, text, images and documents are carried over. We sort out outdated content together, so the new website is leaner.
Will my website be offline during the move?
No. The new website is built in parallel. The switchover only takes a few minutes to a few hours.
How much does switching to TYPO3 cost?
That depends on the scope, content and features. After the analysis, you get a fixed-price quote. Prices are available on request.
Isn't TYPO3 too complicated for my editors?
With well-prepared content elements and training, editors get the hang of it quickly. They only see what they actually need.
Is switching worthwhile for a small website?
Often not. For small business websites, WordPress is usually the simpler choice. I will give you honest advice.
