I would NOT use typo3 again:

1. Its cumbersome
2. far more complex than necessary
3. lots of documentation and tips are in German only
4. narrow field of experts
5. prone to break down
8. very difficult to learn for new users
9. expensive to maintain and host compared with competition
10. NOT intuitive, particularly in the back end.

There are better options out there... Note finally that google has
recently gotten behind Drupal and I bet you and your (client?) will
appreciate the larger community.

Typo3 will do a slow sunset into obscurity.

Best,

WGS
