Award-winning TYPO3 agencies use my video training

The TYPO3 Awards 2025 once again honored outstanding projects from the community. In this article, I take a closer look at four of the award-winning agencies: Violetta Digital Craft from Zurich, visionbites from Munich, 3pc from Berlin and JANDA+ROSCHER from Regensburg.

What these agencies have in common: They all use my TYPO3 video training for the induction of their teams. I asked all four of them how they work with it.

Violetta Digital Craft: Faster onboarding start through video preparation

Violetta Digital Craft from Switzerland was nominated twice in 2025: in the e-commerce and SMB (small business) categories. The agency has been a TYPO3 Silver Member for 13 years and is one of the established players in the Swiss market.

Managing Director Lukas Hausammann explains how they use my video training:

We use Wolfgang's video courses primarily to help new employees with no TYPO3 experience get up to speed more quickly. They can watch the first videos in advance so that we can start at a higher level right from the beginning of the training. We specify which videos are relevant - not all content is relevant for our projects. For example, the videos on the content blocks in TYPO3 13 were particularly helpful. It was not only useful for new team members, but also internally for our team to quickly understand new features of the current version using a practical example.

What pleases me about this feedback is that the agency uses the course in a targeted way. They select what is relevant to their projects instead of sending their employees through all the content. This is exactly how professional training should work.

visionbites: Structured entry for working students

visionbites GmbH from Munich won 2025 in the Industry & Manufacturing category with its website for LaserJob. The Munich-based digital agency is a TYPO3 Association Silver Member, has already won six TYPO3 Awards in recent years and is one of the most successful TYPO3 agencies in the German-speaking world.

Managing Director Dr. Nepomuk Gasteiger describes their commitment:

'Our working students start their TYPO3 careers with Wolfgang's video course - fast, structured and independent. This takes the pressure off our team, optimizes our internal knowledge transfer and thus the entire onboarding process.

What this feedback shows: Independent learning is crucial, especially for working students, who are often only there for a few hours a week. If someone can work on the basics independently, there is more time for the really important things: project work and mentoring.

3pc: Award-winning projects in the cultural and NGO sector

3pc GmbH Neue Kommunikation from Berlin is a TYPO3 Association Platinum Member and TYPO3 Solution Partner. The Berlin-based digital agency won two awards at the TYPO3 Awards 2025:

Berlinische Galerie in the Legacy & Heritage category: the museum for modern and contemporary art in Berlin received a comprehensive digital presence that makes exhibitions, events and the collection accessible.

German Commission for UNESCO in the NGO & Non-Profits category: The website makes the diverse UNESCO programs - from world heritage to education to scientific cooperation - understandable and navigable.

Both projects show how sophisticated TYPO3 implementations can make complex content accessible in a structured way. The Berlin-based digital agency has been in existence for 30 years and works with cultural, educational and non-profit organizations, among others.

Chief Project Officer Jana Friedel explains why external sources of knowledge are important for the agency:

The digital world is constantly changing - and as an agency that has been a pioneer in the TYPO3 industry and the digital environment for decades, we know how essential reliable external sources of knowledge are in order to actively shape this change. The video training accelerates learning and helps us to continuously secure our claim to high-quality digital solutions while keeping our finger on the pulse of the times.

What this statement shows: As a long-standing TYPO3 pioneer, 3pc relies on continuous training to maintain its high quality standards. External resources supplement the internal know-how and keep the team at the cutting edge of technology.

JANDA+ROSCHER: In-depth training for new employees

JANDA+ROSCHER from Regensburg has been successful on the market for over 30 years and works as a creative agency, employer branding specialist and TYPO3 professional. The agency is a TYPO3 Association Silver Member and employs over 20 people. The Regensburg agency was nominated twice at the TYPO3 Awards 2025:

Jazzclub Regensburg e. V. in the Culture category: The website makes the diverse concert and event program of the traditional jazz club accessible and invites you to discover the lively jazz scene in Regensburg.

Haus im Schilf in the Tourism & Travel category: The vacation apartments on Lake Hain in Leipzig's Neuseenland region are presented with a modern, booking-optimized website that focuses on adults-only recreation and workation.

Managing Director Tobias Wollender describes how the agency uses video training:

'We mainly use Wolfgang's course to train new employees so that they have the necessary level of knowledge to work on TYPO3 projects with us, as independently and condensed as possible, but also in a well-founded way.

What characterizes this approach: The Regensburg team wants both: compact and well-founded training. New team members should become productive quickly, but with a solid foundation of knowledge. The video training enables precisely this combination of efficiency and depth.

Why agencies rely on structured training

All four agencies use video training not as a substitute for internal induction, but as an accelerator. New employees can learn the basics beforehand or in parallel. This saves time during induction and raises the entry level.

This also corresponds to my experience from conversations with other agencies: anyone who implements TYPO3 projects professionally needs people who can quickly become productive. Every week that someone cannot work independently costs money.

Structured learning resources help to shorten this process. Not because videos are better than personal mentoring, but because they free up mentoring for the things that really need personal attention.

What this means for you

When award-winning agencies like Violetta Digital Craft, visionbites, 3pc and JANDA+ROSCHER use my video training, it's not by accident. These teams work with TYPO3 at the highest level every day. They know what works and what doesn't.
