Heidelberg University of Education
Relaunch of the Heidelberg University of Education website using TYPO3 v12, with a focus on a modern user interface, a user-friendly course finder, integrated event management (Campus Events), and secure access and editorial processes (Intranet/SSO).

The challenge
The existing website needed to be modernised both visually and functionally. At the same time, it was necessary to address university-specific requirements—such as the presentation of degree programmes, courses and internal sections—in a way that ensured they could be maintained efficiently from an editorial perspective and operated reliably from a technical standpoint. The key challenge was to present complex content relating to studies and organisation in such a way that users could quickly find what they were looking for without the editorial team getting bogged down in special cases.
Studies and organisation cover a wide range of content. It had to be presented so that users reach their goal quickly.
Content needed to stay maintainable in a structured way while remaining flexibly extendable, including for special cases.
Events came up at high frequency and had to stay reliably up to date without being entered manually more than once.
Internal content needed to be securely accessible without slowing down editorial processes.
The approach
Iterative implementation in sprints, with regular reviews, close coordination with the product owner and stakeholders, and clear prioritisation.
We built the information architecture and optimised the key use cases, studies and events, with a user-centred approach. Requirements and prioritisation were set up iteratively with the product owner.
We implemented a clearly structured Course Finder, including degree programme pages and detail views. As a result, prospective students find programmes more quickly.
Event management in TYPO3 is connected to Campus Events automatically. Events are imported and processed automatically, so duplicate maintenance is no longer needed.
For internal areas we implemented single sign-on (SSO) and access control. The intranet area was extended with editorial workflows so that internal content stays protected.
We designed a responsive UI for desktop and mobile with a consistent component set. Reusable templates for overview and detail pages keep the platform easy for editors to maintain.
For the relaunch we set up redirect management and carried over redirects from the existing site to safeguard findability.
The result
The relaunch brings together design, features and editorial content, making the PH Heidelberg much more accessible online.
