Körber-Stiftung
Making society better

Hamburg organization focuses even more strongly on networking and speed

Our Client

The Körber Foundation addresses current challenges in the fields of demographic change, innovation and international understanding with its operational projects, in its networks and with cooperation partners. Its work currently focuses on three topics: "New working life", "Digital maturity" and "Russia in Europe". founded in 1959 by entrepreneur and instigator Kurt A. Körber, the Körber Foundation is now active both nationally and internationally with its own projects, collaborations and events.

The Project

The Körber Foundation is involved in current social issues in networks, with cooperation partners and with operational projects. The website plays a central role in reporting on the organization's activities.

This website has now undergone a contemporary relaunch: larger images, more white space and the distinct magazine character are the obvious improvements that catch the eye of interested visitors. The navigation has been greatly reduced. This allows the entire width of the website to be used for the presentation of content.

I want to instigate something with new initiatives. So if you want to call me an instigator, I'm happy with that.

Kurt A. Körber

The Project Goals

A key focus was on the networking of content: videos, news, surveys, events and books are linked to each other using tags. If the user clicks on one of these tags, all content is automatically aggregated and displayed. This means that users can find the information they need simply by navigating through these tags.

The high speed at which the pages load thanks to sophisticated caching mechanisms is breathtaking. It is simply fun to click through the website - even on a tablet or smartphone. As an agency, we talk here about the "joy of use", which for us is the most important factor that determines the success of a website. And by the way, speed has also become one of the most important ranking factors for search engines.

ltsTechnically, the website is based on the open source solution TYPO3, version 7.6. The search function and the networking of the various content formats were solved using SOLR. The relaunch lays the foundation for the further expansion of the foundation's communication. In addition, the seamless integration of social media content is being further promoted.

Extremely fast page loading, high-quality content, plenty of space for content and a great design - it's simply fun to click through the new website.
