She ensures that projects run smoothly, deadlines remain realistic and no one loses track of things in the chaos.

Thanks to her structured approach to work, she learns quickly, adapts flexibly and keeps a cool head even in stressful situations.

Franzi and TYPO3
As TYPO3 is built on open source code, there are people working on it worldwide to make it even better with every release. The community is proactive; if you have a problem that needs to be solved or fixed, there is a good chance somebody is already on it. I love that TYPO3 is a versatile tool that can be adapted for so many different use cases — the possibilities are nearly endless. And once you understand the system it's quite straightforward to use, even if you switch between different sites. That's what helps me and b13, in general, to deliver great customized solutions without the limitations other systems can have.
Franzi on working at b13
At b13, I love that we are a team of many different characters, but we share one vision: to deliver top-quality websites and to have fun doing so. The people I work with trust my abilities to do my job well, while giving me a chance to learn new things and gather new expertise. We always strive to deliver the best work possible: fast, reliable websites with great design and easy-to-access content. We are also forward-thinking; if we encounter a problem that doesn't have a solution yet, we ensure there will be one in the future.
Franzi’s Dos and Don’ts
Keep everything together – and always find a way to make the team smile.
Keep asking questions until it is really clear what is needed.
Stay calm, even when things get tight.
Don't lose your nerve, even when everyone else has long since lost theirs.
Don't give up just because something seems complicated.
Don't waste time on hopeless cases (yes, printers, we're talking about you).
People with disabilities constitute one of the most significant segments of online users, but it is an often-overlooked population in the digital world. Increasing accessibility to this population is an empathetic choice and an intelligent business decision, especially when you consider that temporary and situational disability adds up to include almost everyone who uses the internet. Improving accessibility can increase an organization’s reach, enhance the user experience, and boost SEO. Additionally, with new accessibility directives in play, organizations that expand their site’s accessibility will maintain compliance with the law.
The Core Web Vitals are the go-to metrics for determining if a web page responds to user interaction swiftly and without disruptions. TYPO3 admins and developers need to know how these metrics work.
