What TYPO3 Migration Actually Preserves — And What It Kills

Your TYPO3 database ships to Next.js, WordPress, or a headless CMS through content extraction, URL mapping, redirect implementation, and regression testing that catches breaks before your buyers do. Your multilingual structures, SEO metadata, user permissions, and template logic convert to modern equivalents—static generation, API-first content delivery, React components your team can actually read. The migration scripts run in parallel environments so your live site never drops. Miss one hreflang tag or botch a redirect chain and your international traffic vanishes overnight—search engines don't wait for you to debug TypoScript in production.

Dónde fallan los proyectos

TypoScript has a shrinking talent pool Finding developers who actually know it is getting harder, and when you do find them, they're expensive.
Extension compatibility breaks with every major TYPO3 version upgrade Miss a cycle and you're stuck on an outdated version with security holes nobody's patching.
Multilingual setups make migration genuinely risky Get it wrong and you've destroyed your hreflang structures—international SEO gone overnight.
TYPO3's tightly coupled frontend fights modern performance patterns at every turn Core Web Vitals slip, organic traffic follows.
Content editors hate the backend Publishing slows down, your marketing team gets frustrated, and suddenly everything needs a developer to touch it.
TYPO3 hosting needs specialized PHP infrastructure You're paying for server resources that edge-deployed sites don't need.

Cumplimiento

Full Content Extraction

We pull every page, content element, media asset, and metadata field straight from your TYPO3 database with custom extraction scripts. No manual copy-paste, no records left behind.

SEO Redirect Mapping

Every TYPO3 URL gets a verified 301 redirect mapped to its new destination. We validate the complete map before cutover—not after.

Multilingual Preservation

Language tree structures, hreflang tags, and locale-specific content get mapped to your new platform's i18n system. Nothing gets lost in translation.

Zero-Downtime Cutover

We use a blue-green deployment strategy, so your old site keeps serving traffic until the new one is fully verified. The DNS switch takes seconds.

Extension Audit & Replacement

We catalog every TYPO3 extension, find modern equivalents where they exist, and build custom solutions where they don't.

Post-Migration Security Hardening

Security headers, CSP policies, and vulnerability scanning go in from day one. We don't just move your site—we leave it in better shape than we found it.

Nuestro proceso

01

TYPO3 Audit & Discovery

First, we inventory your TYPO3 installation: content types, extensions, TypoScript configs, multilingual trees, third-party integrations. You get a detailed migration spec before anything moves.
Week 1
02

Architecture & Platform Selection

Then we nail down the platform. Based on your team's actual needs, we recommend Next.js, WordPress, or a headless CMS stack and design the information architecture, content model, and redirect strategy together.
Week 2
03

Content Migration & Build

Build and migration run in parallel. Custom extraction scripts pull content directly from TYPO3's database while we build the new frontend and wire up your CMS. Content flows into the new structure automatically.
Weeks 3–5
04

QA, UAT & Redirect Verification

Before launch, we run automated visual regression tests, manual content review, and full redirect map validation. Your team gets staging access for user acceptance testing—no surprises.

Preguntas frecuentes

How long does a TYPO3 to Next.js migration take?

Most TYPO3 to Next.js migrations take 5–8 weeks, depending on content volume, multilingual complexity, and how many custom extensions are in play. A 200-page single-language site typically wraps up in 5 weeks. Enterprise sites with 10+ languages and custom integrations can run 10–12 weeks. We'll give you a detailed timeline during the free assessment.

Will I lose my SEO rankings when migrating from TYPO3?

Not if redirects are handled correctly—and we're obsessive about this. We generate a complete 301 redirect map for every URL on your TYPO3 site, validate it before launch, and monitor rankings for 30 days after cutover. Most clients see rankings stabilize within 2–4 weeks and start improving within 8, driven by better Core Web Vitals on the new platform.

Can you migrate TYPO3 multilingual content to a headless CMS?

Yes. TYPO3's language tree structure—fallback chains, locale-specific overrides, all of it—gets mapped to your headless CMS's localization model. Sanity, Contentful, and Strapi all handle i18n well. We preserve hreflang relationships and make sure your editors can manage translations without changing how they work.

What happens to my TYPO3 extensions during migration?

We audit every installed extension and sort them into three buckets: direct equivalent available, needs a custom rebuild, or no longer needed. Common ones like news, forms, and search get mapped to native features in your new stack. Custom extensions get rebuilt as API routes or serverless functions. You get the full compatibility report before we start.

Is WordPress or Next.js a better TYPO3 alternative?

It depends on your team. WordPress makes sense for organizations that want familiar WYSIWYG editing and a broad plugin ecosystem. Next.js with a headless CMS is a better fit when performance, developer experience, and scalability are the priority. We help you decide based on your content team's technical comfort and what you're actually trying to achieve.

How much does a TYPO3 migration cost?

TYPO3 migrations start at $8,000 for straightforward single-language sites under 200 pages. Mid-complexity projects with multilingual content and custom extensions typically run $14,000–$25,000. Large enterprise migrations—10+ languages, thousands of pages, complex integrations—start at $25,000. Every project gets a fixed-fee quote. No surprise invoices.
