A Website built using web standards will always be easy to use, maintain and promote through search engines. This type of website can be made manually by gathering together all necessary elements or automatically with the help of a content management system.

Not all content management systems applications will have an output in totally compliance with web standards. TYPOLight CMS (content management system) is one of the few PHP applications that makes use of XHTML and CSS to output W3C/WAI compliant pages. It also can work with a large variety of databases like MySQL, MySQl, SQLite, Oracle, MSSQL, PostgreSQL and Sybase.

TYPOLight content management system has an increased degree of accessibility both in case of front end and back end. It has many unique features, as compared with other similar applications: live update feature, multilingual interface for administration back end, output cross browser compatibility, AJAX functionality, multiple options to extend its capabilities and more.

The installation of this application on a webserver having support for PHP 5.1.0 is very simple: a web based tool will automate the entire process that will take place in a single window. After the user creates a new layout in the administration area, the content can be easily managed. As a consequence, a simple website containing only a few pages could be ready in less than ten minutes.

During the installation process, a default data (an example website) could be inserted into the database in order to reflect in a better manner the content management system capabilities. Various parameters of the default website could be altered from the administration back end, which has a very intuitive interface and structure.

The TYPOLight content management system is suitable to develop any type of web project that must be compliant with web standards. If you want to test its features, TYPOLight CMS can be downloaded from here.
