TYPOlight webCMS – Accessible Web Content Management System

naz — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 17:24:34 +0000

A growing number of countries around the world have introduced legislation which either directly addresses the need for websites to be accessible to people with disabilities, or which addresses the more general requirement for people with disabilities not to be discriminated against. TYPOlight does not treat accessibility as just an additional feature and is thoroughly accessible.

If you run multiple TYPOlight websites, installing updates can be very time consuming, even if they are small. You have to manually connect to each website via FTP, synchronize the files and update the database with the TYPOlight install tool. The live update service allows you to update your installation with only a few clicks in the back end, so you do not have to waste your time on file uploads.

PHP 5 and Ajax are modern “Web 2.0” technologies that you can find in a lot of contemporary applications. TYPOlight has a solid codebase built on the new object-oriented programming features of PHP 5 and can therefore be considered a future-proof software. To ensure back end accessibility, every Ajax feature includes a graceful fallback in case JavaScript is disabled.
