Increasing TYPO3’s visibility worldwide
In Mathias’ opinion, the biggest challenge for TYPO3 today is its lack of visibility outside of Central Europe. While on the shortlist for most website customers in Germany, the CMS is not well known abroad. His goal for 2017 is to help increase TYPO3’s visibility outside of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.A Norwegian with TYPO3 experience

Why TYPO3?
“There are a couple of things about TYPO3 that really make me tick,” says Mathias. The first thing he mentions is the project’s stability over time: “TYPO3’s code has been improved continuously over the last 20 years. I think you will have a hard time finding a content management system with a similar track-record. You can do real long-term planning with TYPO3.”The second thing is how TYPO3 helps you create good websites for the visitors: “I love how the page tree helps you keep a well-organized content hierarchy, and the content elements help you to divide your page into clear sections. That is in a world where major CMS-es still present a one-dimensional list of pages, and content as a single text field. We are at the leading edge without even trying!”
