Terms
On this page, the most important terms you will encounter when working with TYPO3 are explained.
Frontend
The frontend is the website as visitors perceive it. The pages are designed to be responsive and automatically adapt to different screen sizes.
Backend
The backend is the administration area where editors and administrators can edit content without needing any HTML knowledge.
Page
A page is a single webpage within your TYPO3 website. Each page has a unique ID (pid) and a freely selectable title. All pages are displayed hierarchically in the page tree.
Content element
A content element is a single content block on a page—for example, a text block, an image gallery, or a video. Each content element has a unique ID (uid) and is displayed on the corresponding page in the frontend.
Content type
The content type describes what kind of content a content element contains. Possible types include text, images, files or tables.
Filelist
The Filelist is the central file management system in TYPO3. This is where all files (images, PDFs, videos, etc.) are stored and managed for later integration into pages. Files can be organized into folders.
