Klarkode migrates TYPO3 sites to Webflow Enterprise using a standardized process. Content inventory, 1:1 component rebuild, 301 redirect map, and cutover on a single go-live date. Rankings stay intact, editors work 80% faster, and total cost of ownership drops.

Switching from TYPO3 to Webflow typically takes 6–10 weeks, depending on the scope of extensions and TypoScript configurations.
The investment depends on the number of pages, the number of extensions that need replacing, and the desired design system. After the audit, you'll receive a fixed-price quote.
Webflow fully handles hosting, CDN, and SSL — a dedicated TYPO3 server or multi-site hosting is no longer needed.
The DNS cutover happens outside business hours and typically takes under 5 minutes.
We hear the same complaints from CMOs, Heads of Marketing, and CTOs across the DACH region. Here are the most common ones — and how Webflow Enterprise solves them.
Templates and extensions in TYPO3 require deep technical know-how. In Webflow, the marketing team designs visually and independently.
Server, extension updates, and security patches disappear — Webflow bundles hosting and maintenance in the Enterprise plan.
New pages and campaigns are created quickly in Webflow CMS collections, with no backend configuration.
Webflow's CDN delivers consistently high Lighthouse scores, regardless of extension count or quality.
TYPO3 extension updates and patch cycles disappear — Webflow manages security centrally for all customers.
Editors no longer depend on developers for layout or structural changes.
