TYPO3 is an open source solution, which means that there are no license fees. This is a considerable advantage for public institutions, which generally work with limited budgets. The costs for operation are concentrated on individual adaptations, further developments and support from agencies such as NITSAN.

TYPO3 offers versions with long-term support (LTS). These LTS versions are provided with updates and security patches for several years, which offers long-term planning security. This is particularly valuable for public institutions that often have to pay attention to stability and maintenance costs.

Thanks to TYPO3's modular system, public institutions can have only those functions developed that they actually need. This reduces unnecessary costs for unused features and enables flexible expansion as required.

TYPO3 offers numerous functions that make it easier to implement accessible websites in accordance with the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) and the BITV (Barrier-free Information Technology Ordinance). Developers can thus ensure that the pages are designed to a high standard of accessibility.

TYPO3 allows the creation of templates that are accessible and standards-compliant. These templates can be easily adapted to the specific needs of the organization to ensure that all legal accessibility requirements are met.

By default, TYPO3 generates clean, semantic HTML code that is well structured and easier for screen readers to interpret. This is an important prerequisite for accessibility, as many assistive technologies rely on a clear and understandable structure.

The integrated multilingual support in TYPO3 makes it easier for public institutions to offer accessible content in several languages. In addition, the user-friendly maintenance interface makes it easy for non-technical staff to create and manage accessible content.

There are a number of TYPO3 extensions that have been specially developed for the creation of accessible websites. These include tools for checking accessibility, plugins for accessible forms and other tools that facilitate the technical implementation of accessible functions.

As many public institutions access their websites across multiple departments, TYPO3 offers a powerful user and rights system that simplifies the workflow for editors. It enables editors to maintain content without barriers and in accordance with the relevant regulations, without having to rely on in-depth technical knowledge.

TYPO3 is known for its flexibility and scalability. Public institutions can implement both small information sites and large, complex portals on the basis of TYPO3. The platform grows with the requirements and can also be expanded and adapted at a later date without having to change fundamental structures.

With TYPO3, specific design and layout requirements that are important for barrier-free pages (e.g. contrasts, font sizes, keyboard navigation) can be implemented in a targeted manner. TYPO3 offers a high degree of adaptability to individual guidelines and layout specifications.
