Showcase: University Web Portal

Speakers: 

We are in the process of relaunching the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University's web portal.
The results of the first phase will be online in September.
Drupal replaces their current proprietary CMS.

My talk covers conceptual design and implementation of this project.
I will highlight these topics:

  • “Away with these hierarchies!!” - Information Architecture
  • “Keep it simple, stupid!” - A conceptual manifesto
  • “...meeting the goal half-way” - Needs, target groups, navigation
  • Flat Design – a new Look & Feel
  • Mobile First - Responsive challenges to frontend development
  • Drupal - how we built the site, which modules we used, what we wrote ourselves
  • Going Agile with Drupal – stumbling blocks and lessons learned
