Best TYPO3 templates - Professional themes for enterprise sites

TYPO3 templates work differently than WordPress themes. Instead of ready-made designs, you usually get a solid technical foundation (sitepackage) that you customize to your needs. This gives more flexibility, but also requires more technical knowledge.

TYPO3 template vs WordPress theme

In WordPress you buy a complete theme with design, layouts and demo content. With TYPO3 you often get a "sitepackage" - a technical framework with Fluid templates and TypoScript configuration that you customize to your own style.

This means: more flexibility and control, but you need development knowledge (or a TYPO3 developer).

How to choose the right TYPO3 template?

5 questions to ask yourself

1 Do you have budget for a premium template or custom work?

Free: Bootstrap Package is the best choice 95% of the time. Solid foundation, well maintained.
Premium (€1k-3k): FLAVOR if you need enterprise design with support.
Custom (€5k+): Custom sitepackage by TYPO3 agency for unique branding.

2 How much TYPO3/development knowledge do you have?

Beginner: Bootstrap Package with extensive documentation.
Intermediate: jweiland templates or Themes extension for faster development.
Expert: Build your own sitepackage from scratch with Fluid best practices.

3 Which TYPO3 version are you using?

Always check TYPO3 version compatibility. Bootstrap Package usually supports the last 2 LTS versions. Premium templates sometimes update slower. For TYPO3 12+ not all old templates are compatible.

4 Are you using a CSS framework (Bootstrap, Tailwind)?

Bootstrap: Bootstrap Package is a no-brainer.
Tailwind/other: Custom sitepackage or minimal base template needed.
No framework: Simple Fluid templates with custom CSS suffice.

5 Do you need support & updates?

Free templates: Community support via Slack/forums, updates depending on maintainers.
Premium templates: Dedicated support, update guarantee, often SLAs available.
Agency templates: Support contract possible, but often more expensive.

                          10 = FLUIDTEMPLATE

                          10 {

                            templateRootPaths.10 = EXT:sitepackage/Resources/Private/Templates/

Frequently asked questions about TYPO3 templates

Can I use WordPress themes in TYPO3?

No, WordPress themes and TYPO3 templates are completely incompatible. They use different templating engines (PHP templates vs Fluid), different database structure and different architecture. You could reuse the HTML/CSS, but all functionality must be rebuilt in TYPO3.

What is the difference between template and sitepackage?

A "template" is often a standalone Fluid file. A "sitepackage" is a complete TYPO3 extension containing templates, TypoScript, assets, configuration and sometimes custom PHP code. Sitepackages are the modern, recommended approach because they are reusable, version controlled and well structured.

How do I install Bootstrap Package?

Via Composer (recommended): composer require bk2k/bootstrap-package. Or via Extension Manager: search "bootstrap_package", download and install. Then: Template module > Include static template "Bootstrap Package" > Clear caches. You now have a working responsive TYPO3 site.

Are TYPO3 templates responsive?

Modern TYPO3 templates like Bootstrap Package are fully responsive. But TYPO3 itself does not enforce this - it depends on the template you choose. Always check if a template is mobile-first and responsive. Bootstrap Package, FLAVOR and most professional sitepackages are responsive out-of-the-box.

Can I use multiple templates in one TYPO3 site?

Yes! You can have different page templates within one site. For example: homepage template, subpage template, landing page template. You set this up via TypoScript and backend layouts. You can even combine multiple sitepackages, although that can get complex. The "Themes" extension makes multi-template setups easier.

What does a professional TYPO3 template cost?

Free: Bootstrap Package, jweiland templates (€0). Premium templates: €1,000-3,000 for FLAVOR and similar providers. Custom sitepackage by agency: €5,000-20,000 depending on complexity and design requirements. Enterprise custom work can cost €50,000+ for very complex multisite setups.
