About the project

The relaunch of the website includes the conception and redevelopment of the information architecture, sreen-design, search engine friendly programming, analysis finder, podcast player, the integration of an expert database, as well as the support of the content migration from the old system.

After the relaunch, the modular structure of this current Drupal page will result in significantly more design options and functions. The new, central media database enables easier and bundled processing of the media available on the site. The highlight of the website is the media module in Drupal.

Why Drupal was chosen

- content driven

- categorization/cross referenzing of content

- Search API for precise search results and drilling down through categorization

- Media library

- flexible content through a modular system for editors through the use of paragraphs
