The TYPO3 LTS Versions
Companies and institues, who are using TYPO3 as their professional enterprise CMS (ECMS), need a certain level of investment security. Therefore, we as an agency, only use stable long term support (LTS) versions for our customers' upgrade and relaunch projects. LTS versions are officially supported with security and maintainance updates for 3 years minimum. Security patches cover newly detected security gaps shortly, which – in turn – guarantees a smooth and secure running website for at least 3 years straight.
Currently the following LTS versions are actively used and officially supported:
Why are TYPO3 upgrades neccessary?
When the support period of an LTS version has come to an end, no more issues or security gaps are being solved through the official side. In case a new problem is being detected, your website is unsecure and – depending on the problem – more easily hackable or due to a browser incompability simply not displayable anymore.

The TYPO3 Upgrade
A TYPO3 upgrade includes a sheer upgrade of the TYPO3 version your website is based on without any design-related adjustments.
TYPO3 upgrades include the renewal of your website on a technical basis. A TYPO3 upgrade basically consists of the TYPO3 Core being upgraded to a higher version alongside an upgrade of all implemented extensions.
The periodic release cycle of TYPO3's versions generally calls for a TYPO3 upgrade every 3 years. In certain cases, an extended support can be purchased from TYPO3 Inc. However, one thing that should be kept in mind: The bigger the difference between two versions is, the more time consuming the upgrade will be.
The Relaunch
Do you want to combine your next TYPO3 upgrade with a redesign of your website? That's what's called a relaunch. Relaunch basically means: re-introduction in the market and originates from product development and associated product lifecycles.
When talking about a website relaunch, the focus is usually put on the redesign of the website and the content. Most of the time during a relaunch, a completely new, modern and more userfriendly layout is created as well as all existing contents are being updated.
A relaunch is also the perfect opportunity to perfom different on- and off-page optimizations.
