"Really impressed with TYPOlight. One of my mates told me about it and I thought I'd give it a try for one of my clients. Nice backend and really easy to use.”
Peterborough Web Design, Peterborough | www.xenstudio.co.uk

"Since June 2009 I am using TYPOlight and it helps me a lot to create my own websites. I hope to get a good shop solution soon for TL. Thanks a lot to the developer for this great and easy CMS.”
Nicolas Caballero, Munich | www.guitarra-paraguaya.com

"I've been using TYPOlight for about 3.5 years now and am constantly impressed with this CMS! I've used and tested many other systems, but this one is the perfect blend of features, usability and community. My favorite features include: the extension repository, live update, edit multiple and the form generator. Also, the large amount of extensions means I do not have to used external systems very frequently. Between the catalog, forum / helpdesk and various image galleries, you manage everything from one backend. All told, TYPOlight is an amazing CMS that makes the lives of me and my clients far easier.”
Ben Robinson, Atlanta, Georgia | www.emergentmediagroup.com

"Having used TYPOlight for the last 6 months I can honestly say that it has revolutionised our web design process. It allows us to deliver high quality sites that take our client hours rather than days to learn how to manage. All sites we deliver are now based on TYPOlight - WE LOVE IT!!”

"We tested about ten CMS products and TYPOLight was simply the best concerning ease of use, performance and possibilities. We love it!”
Sabine Hellmann, Munich | www.lawconsult.com
"Finally a CMS with a user friendly backend, that even looks good.  We are very enthusiastic about it and our customers quite satisfied. It is easy to explain and easy to use. The options the system offers are unique. The use of CSS makes it a fast tool.”
M. Permantier, Berlin | www.short-cuts.de
"I'm very impressed. TYPOLight is hands down superior to any other open source CMS in existence. Really solid coding, design, while highly scalable and extensible. Great documentation and tutorials, too, make it even easier to learn advanced techniques in a matter of minutes. A former Drupal'er, converted.”

"I can confidently say myself that I am a CMS aficionado, having tested, used and deployed websites using myriads of CMS platforms. But most of them don't work the way web designers work. Many, including Joomla, generates non-standards frontend codes and inserts their own CSS selectors and non-valid codes. This defames the work of standard devout web designers like me. But Typolight has changed it all. Not only it generates standards-compliant valid XHTML codes, the way it works with CSS is just great! I don't have to remember CMS specific CSS selectors to make my designs work. And another great thing is, Typolight allows to override any frontend template codes and re-write it on our own! This kind of flexibility is what a standard devout, me, always been wanted. Sure, Typolight CMS doesn't have bells & whistles features of some other CMS. But for many web designers, TYPOlight is like a haven! Now I only wish I found out Typolight before I build my portfolio site.”
Samuel Faith, Yangon - Myanmar
"I spent tons of time with Joomla! CMS and finally got fed up. I took a journey through the wild and crowded world of Open Source CMSs and was beginning to lose hope when I stumbled across TYPOlight. What a relief! It does everything I want and more. Leo Feyer is a programmer of the highest skill and dedication. He updates TYPOlight 10+ times before the Joomla! team can release one update. I love TYPOlight.”
Logan Greer, Dallas Texas
"In the beginning of the year 2007 I found TYPOlight. I tested it while some days, and I said wow ! I translated it into french, and used it all the days ! Thanks to Leo Feyer and all contributers, for this wonder!”
Cyril Ponce, Valence - France | www.cyrilponce.com
"Having spent many hours downloading, installing and trialling many of the multitude of CMS systems out there discovering Typolight was a revelation! The moment you start to really use Typolight you begin to realise what a well thought out, intuitive and feature rich system it is, thanks to Leo Feyer and all the people that contribute to it's development. Like all things worth knowing well there is a learning curve, but for me the beauty of Typolight is it's actually a pleasurable and rewarding experience every time I use it. To sum up, Typolight, Content Managed Sublimely.”
Chris Witham, Bury St Edmunds
