Moving a website from TYPO3 to WordPress is a strategic decision for your company. We would be happy to advise and support you with your project.

The reasons for and against switching to WordPress

Do you want to move your shop? Here to the Move from WooCommerce learn more.

For a move speaks to WordPress:

In favour of remaining speaks for TYPO3:

Replacement of TYPO3 as a new start with professional support

TYPO3 was a very popular content management system (CMS) in the 1990s and early 2000s. It is still on the market and has been continuously developed further.
The result is a powerful content management system, which is no longer the first choice these days. Its market share is constantly decreasing.

Experience as an agency with data migrations from TYPO3 to WordPress

Thanks to past projects, we have a wealth of experience in the optimal procedure for moving from TYPO3 to WordPress. One important realisation, for example, is to always move the data first and only then start with design and functions. 

Nevertheless, every TYPO3 website has a slightly different structure. Different versions, customisations and installed extensions lead to individual concepts and procedures. 

Our toolbox is well stocked from more than a dozen moves from TYPO3 to WordPress and will also contain the right tool for your project. 

Methods of data migration from TYPO3 to WordPress

The content of the existing TYPO3 website can, in principle, be taken over by us. They form the basis for the new WordPress website. 

It is important that we do not proceed "blindly", but always focus on the user experience. Because this is the only way Search engine optimisation (SEO) for the new page. URLs that no longer appear on the new page or have changed are of course forwarded by us via 301. 

You can see an overview of the common methods of data migration from TYPO3 to WordPress here.

Manual method with Copy&Paste

If you only have a few pages or posts, simply copying and pasting is a practical method. However, texts, images, tags and categories must be copied and pasted individually into the WordPress page. With more than 100 pages, this is a strenuous task, as you have to remain very focussed at all times.

Nevertheless, mistakes happen again and again with this method, which have to be corrected in the second pass.

CSV export and import via WordPress (if necessary with plugin)

TYOP3 offers the function of a CSV or XML export of data. If pages, posts, comments and images can be exported as CSV or XML, this is a possible method for migrating data to WordPress. As the data structure of TYPO3 does not correspond to that of WordPress, the fields must be "mapped".

If data fields are transmitted that WordPress does not provide, these must be sorted out or ignored. Conversely, WordPress may require data fields that do not exist in the old TYPO3 website. These must then be added manually or filled in with a default value.

A WordPress plugin like e.g. WP All Import can make it easier to assign the data fields. Nevertheless, with this method advanced knowledge of WordPress is required to implement a successful data migration.

There are service providers who specialise in website data migration. One of the first providers is wordherd. The company from the USA offers automated data migration from TYPO3 to WordPress. The service is subject to a fee and is initially based on the number of entries (pages, posts, images, comments).

However, as many website owners do not achieve the desired result with automated data migration, you can also purchase customised support from these providers. The company claims that the success rate is very high. However, we cannot confirm this, as a complex data migration also goes hand in hand with good communication in the native language (German).

Of course, the path via a professional Internet agency The safest way to transfer the data completely from the current TYPO3 to WordPress. With a complex data structure, not only do fields have to be assigned, but fields may also have to be linked or separated.

Data from connected software systems or customised developments must also be taken into account and can only rarely be transferred correctly by a standard solution.

In addition, there is the Possibility to optimise the data. Either for improved usability or to improve the Search engine optimisation (SEO).
We are happy to be your partner for a successful data migration. Please note that we only Data migration to WordPress carry out!

General services for WordPress

As an internet agency for WordPress, we offer a comprehensive service package in addition to migration. Here are some of our core services. Further services are available on request. 

Content planning and content design

To bring web design to life, it needs text, images, graphics and videos (collectively called content). The content on a website is the basis for the Search engine optimisation. We can't do without it! In our non-binding initial consultation, we advise which content is available, which can be taken over, which content needs to be revised and which parts should be newly created.

The selection of available plugins is huge, but finite.

Naturally we also program our own plugins for special customer requirements.

These range from the labelling of advertisements on overview pages to a factored price calculation of grouped products and a location display of different location types on a Google Map.


We would be happy to discuss your requirements in a non-binding initial meeting.

The integration and connection of external systems can be technically and conceptually demanding.

The Automated data exchange is a requirement that we are happy to fulfil professionally, and not just for shops with WordPress or the WooCommerce plugin.

Content (adverts, offers, etc.) from other systems can be integrated via the existing WordPress interface (API) and give your WordPress website a special relevance.

SEO for top rankings on Google & Co.

The Search engine optimisation (SEO) for WordPress websites is one of our Core competences.

The smartest web design is usually of no use to a website if it cannot be found in Google searches.

In order to save costs and work efficiently, search engine optimisation is a priority from the start of the project. Essential service areawhich can influence the page structure, content and functionality.

For example, we pay attention to the structure and navigation of the website, the use of alternative texts for images and a high-performance delivery of the website content.

Some organisations, in particular the "public sector", are already obliged to Accessible WordPress website to operate. Through the Barrier-Free Act the circle expands to include companies in the private sector. 

From a technical point of view, websites with WordPress can, in principle be realised barrier-free. It goes without saying that we take accessibility requirements into account in the web design and in the design of all website functions. 

In addition, we carry the BITV test for your website and create for you a mandatory Declaration of accessibility (also in simple language).

For many companies, the website is a critical factor for the company's success. It is therefore logical to have the know-how for updating the website ideally also within the company. We offer our customers Training for groups or for individuals. We show the relevant functions and clearly explain the connections between technology, design and search engine optimisation.

We take care of regular updates for WordPress and plugins for our customers.

We also provide the following services for our customers prompt support (within 24 hours on weekdays).  

Step by step from TYPO3 to WordPress

01.

With our Scan analysis tools we immediately analyse your TYPO3 website and gain insights into its scope. We then create a customised questionnaire, which we discuss with you personally. 

Based on our analyses and your goals, we advise you on available options for action and make recommendations. Based on our experience, we can quickly assess which method is suitable for migration.

We usually start with the transfer of the Data into a test system.

The design and the desired functions are developed on this basis. Shortly before going live, the Data reconciled againThis ensures that no data is lost and that unnecessary errors are avoided in the course of the relaunch.

After going live, the website will be fully tested again. Of course, we will continue to be at your disposal for further development. We are also happy to take over the updates for you and provide prompt support.

Prices for moving from TYPO3 to WordPress

We generally offer our customers fixed prices for the migration and redesign of old TYPO3 websites. In order to provide you with a quote, we work with you to gather the key data in a preliminary discussion. You are also welcome to send us a detailed written briefing. Here you can find a Model for tender documents (not only for migrations).

In principle, our offers are based on the estimated amount of work involved. In the case of relocations, this consists in particular of data migration and the scope of the various page types. If there are only uniform pages and standardised blog posts, it will be cheaper. If portfolio entries, references and other custom post types are added, the effort and therefore the costs increase.

The following prices for moving a TYPO3 website to WordPress CMS are therefore only approximate and non-binding.
