TYPO3 basics

Frontend

The Frontend (FE) is the website as it is seen by the visitor.

Here, visitors can navigate through all published content.

Our pages are built to be fully responsive.

Backend

The website is managed and edited in the Backend (BE). Here, the administrator can manage the website, and editors can add and edit content without HTML knowledge. The backend can be accessed in your browser by adding “/typo3” to your website's URL.

Structure of the backend

The backend is divided into three columns:

  1. Module bar (Picture 3, No. 1)
  2. Page tree (Picture 3, No. 2)
  3. Content area (Picture 3, No. 3)

Above the three columns (Picture 3, No. 4), you find the header bar. You can use the two icons (Picture 3, No. 5) to expand or collapse the module bar or the page tree.

Authentication

Working in the backend requires authentication with a username and password.
You can find more information on this on the “Registration and login” page.
