Website Maintenance

We use the TYPO3 Content Management System (CMS) to build and run your practice website.

For practice staff, TYPO3 is a user-friendly, intuitive tool, which allows easy maintenance of your web pages.

Below is a collection of screenshots from the TYPO3 backend. They will give you a general idea of the internal modules, capabilities and concepts of the system.

The TYPO3 backend

TYPO3 has a backend divided into three main areas: The modules menu (left), the page tree (left/middle) and the module workarea (right).

The interface works with virtually any graphical browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Konqueror).

The Rich Text Editor

TYPO3 features a Rich Text Editor which allows WYSIWYG editing of the web pages. This resembles Word or any other word processor.

The 'Web > Page' module

The Page Module is where most site editing of pages and page content is done. Selecting the module will show the architecture of the website in the Navigation Pane. The architecture is represented as a tree structure showing the relationship of pages to each other.

The 'Web > View' module

This module shows the page architecture and then a preview of the selected web page as it will appear on your website. You are also able to edit page content directly on the previewed page.

Frontend editing

When backend users are logged in, the web pages may display small control panels and 'edit icons'. These provide an intuitive, context-oriented way of editing content on directly on the web pages. If you need to edit something while browsing the website, simply click the little pencil icon near the object. It's that easy!

The 'File > Filelist' module

File management is an integral part of the system. Files can be uploaded, renamed, copied, moved, deleted. Selecting an image folder enables a thumbnail view of the images in a folder. Other image information such as size, date of upload and file type is shown with the image.

The 'New page' wizard

Creating new pages is very easy. As you create pages, TYPO3 will organize them in the hierarchy of the page tree. If you want to change your site architecture, you can simply move the pages around within the system.

The 'Page content' elements

Page content types are selected when adding a new content element. Page content types can be changed at any time from the pull-down 'Type' menu at the top of the content element. The two most commonly used elements are text and image elements. In one page, you can use multiple content elements.
