TYPO3 Development Agency

At this stage, we bring together world-class design with HTML development. With code that is pixel-perfect, W3C validated, and responsive, we build high-quality Front-End development for TYPO3 websites and applications. Let’s get you familiar with our approach -

• First, we will process the design file that you provide, which includes PSD design, Sketch, AI, Adobe XD, EPS, etc.
• Next, we will create separate files with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap 5.x, jQuery with the extension index.html, style.css, and index.php respectively.
• React Js, the powerful JavaScript framework will be used for the Front-End element for rendering high-level performance speed.

* We use powerful Front-End JavaScript-based frameworks like Vanilla JS, Atom design concept, Pug template engine, and YARN package manager for quick scalability and the best performance with underlying modern technologies.

In this step, we create editor-friendly, responsive, and highly customizable TYPO3 elements. The process includes embedding or inserting the Frontend files into the TYPO3 templates.

Our custom TYPO3 template development delivers -

• Famous Base/Child Theme Extending Concept
• Editor Friendly TYPO3 Backend Usability
• Ease to reuse developed TYPO3 elements
• Elements Flexibility and Customizability
• Using TYPO3 Core standards
• Modern TYPO3 Coding standards

Tech Stack for TYPO3 Template development 

Our approach follows TYPO3 core standards and modern coding practices. We utilize the TYPO3 LTS version, Fluid Template Engine, TypoScript, and DataProcessing.

Automated Code Review with Lints as part of CI/CD Approach

We also ensure code quality through CI/CD with lints for PHP, YAML, TypoScript, XLIFF, and Fluid.

This step is to add the required functionalities and specialized features to the website with the help of custom TYPO3 Extension Development.

We fulfill the custom requirements with our tailored development services using Extbase/Fluid, installed with composer. For ext: news, ext: container, ext: powermail, etc, we utilise TER (TYPO3 Extensions Repository).

Our Custom TYPO3 Extensions Development employs modern technology and methods with - 

• Domain-Driven Design
• MVC Model
• TYPO3 Unit Testing
• TYPO3 Industrial Standard Code
• Automatic Code Review with Lints
• TYPO3 Core PHP PSR Standards

ExtBase Extensions ⇒ Extbase Framework and Fluid Template Engine

We use these two prime standards of the TYPO3 Extension Development Method to develop modern and customised TYPO3 solutions such as -

• TYPO3 Multiple Version Support
• TYPO3 Extension Builder Extension: extension_builder
• TYPO3 Custom Extension Templating Method: fluid

* We can work with PiBase Extensions to obtain critical solutions. It is an old custom Extension / Plugin development method but very helpful. We can use it to migrate extensions from PiBase to ExtBase.

This step of Version Control and Consistent Deployment of Updates is highly crucial. For synchronising the version update changes across multiple installations, a modern development workflow i.e. Version Control with Continuous Integration (CI), and Continuous Development (CD) are utilized at this stage. The process includes the below phases:

• TYPO3 Versioning

With the versioning system, we work on future version updates without any impact on your live TYPO3 website content. The purpose of this is to offer continuous Integration (CI) and continuous development (CD) to manage different TYPO3 version updates during their life cycle. For this process to create, edit, review, and publish content, we use the modern tools displayed below.

• Automated TYPO3 Deployment

Modern TYPO3 Deployment tools enable automatic deployment of your TYPO3 website from GIT to SERVER. We install and configure Continuous Integration (CI) tools such as Deployer and Gitlab CI/CD, and GitHub Actions for the process to release the Git-tag to deploy TYPO3 to the staging/testing/production server.

At this phase, we make sure that all the features and implementations are working well. For this, our team uses manual or automation testing techniques to carry out the continuous testing process of project work created till now.
