b13 Blog

At b13, we’re often approached by CMOs and CEOs disgruntled by escalating costs. What seems like a relatively “cheap” CMS or software solution can often come with hidden or long-term expenses—like multiple relaunches, jumps in licensing fees, or pricey additions. As an agency committed to free and open source software like TYPO3, we’re dedicated to helping companies make forward-thinking decisions for their content strategy. In the process, we’ve identified some best practices for making smart, cost-effective decisions for your CMS.

One of TYPO3’s powerful features for content publishing is Workspaces—creating and staging in a draft environment before publishing content. TYPO3 v11 adds a few important touches to this functionality, making it even more powerful—for both developers and editors.

TYPO3 version 11 supports keyboard navigation as suggested by the ARIA Authoring Practices. Users don’t need a mouse to navigate menus, trees, and to select multiple records. This work flows through to benefit all backend users, whether they’re solely relying on the keyboard, a screen reader or other assistive technologies.

Some organizations need multi-tree installations for their different translated content. We’re proposing an open source solution that you can be a part of.

b13 wouldn’t exist without open-source software. Our leadership, technical expertise and commitment to life-long learning all stem from our deep roots in open source.

b13’s newest addition, Oli Bartsch, tells us how he got started in TYPO3 and about his Core contributions.
