TYPO3 Agency Mannheim

Mannheim sits 130 kilometres north-west of Stuttgart. By car that is just under an hour and a half on the A6, by ICE a good half hour, which makes things pleasant. We come in person for the meetings that matter, meaning the kickoff, workshops with the editorial team and the sign-off. In between the work runs remotely, because with TYPO3 it consists mostly of configuration and code anyway. aceArt is an official Silver Member of the TYPO3 Association.

TYPO3 from Stuttgart, for Mannheim

Mannheim is an industrial location with staying power. Chemicals, machinery and energy technology set the tone, and the University of Mannheim has made its name above all in economics and business. Around it lies the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region, an association organised across city and state boundaries. Work here and you often deal with structures larger than your own organisation.

Organisations like that produce websites that have grown over decades. A group with several divisions, an association with member organisations, a university with faculties: in all three cases there is a common bracket and, beneath it, units that want to appear in their own right. We build that as one page tree with clearly bounded areas, a shared sitepackage and permissions that follow the organisation rather than the other way round. It is unspectacular, but it prevents exactly the state in which nobody can say any more which department runs which subsection.

What we do with TYPO3

Mannheim and the metropolitan region reach the full TYPO3 breadth with us:

  • TYPO3 development: custom Extbase extensions and interfaces to ERP, CRM or inventory systems
  • TYPO3 web design: custom sitepackages or a rework of existing templates
  • TYPO3 maintenance & security: ongoing care, security advisories, quick help when it matters
  • TYPO3 update installation: safe LTS migrations without surprises in live operation

Frequently asked questions

Do you have an office in Mannheim?
No, we have no premises in Mannheim, only in Stuttgart-Feuerbach. The ICE takes a good half hour, which makes a meeting in Mannheim easier to arrange than some appointments inside a single large city. We come for the kickoff and workshops, and work remotely otherwise.
How many editors can one TYPO3 installation take?
The number is rarely the problem, the organisation is. We have seen installations with a handful of people where everyone got in each other way, and ones with many contributors that ran cleanly. What decides it is clear responsibility in the page tree and templates that leave little room for misunderstanding.
We have several subsidiaries with their own sites. Merge or keep them apart?
Usually merge, into one backend with separate areas. The effort for operation, updates and security then occurs once instead of five times, and a new feature becomes available everywhere. Keeping them apart makes sense when a unit really is independent in legal or organisational terms.
What happens when a security advisory is published?
We receive the notices from the TYPO3 Security Group and check whether your installation is affected. If it is, we apply the update, and for critical issues at short notice. Afterwards you get a note on what was done and why.
