Ulm University of Applied Sciences (THU)
Relaunch of the Ulm University of Technology website on TYPO3, with a focus on performance, accessibility, editorial efficiency, SEO and a modular component library.
The challenge
The existing website needed to be modernised and technically consolidated. In addition to a contemporary user interface, the focus was on editorial workflows, search functionality, multilingual support and a stable system environment. In the higher education sector, this means: numerous stakeholders, diverse target groups and a wide range of content, from research and academic studies to administration.
Bringing research, study and administration, each with different target groups, together under one consistent website.
Setting up operations, scaling and the connection of existing systems reliably, without complicating editorial work in TYPO3.
Multilingualism in DE/EN had to be built up, even though there was hardly any English content beforehand.
Prospective students and researchers struggled to find key offerings.
The approach
Iterative implementation in sprints, closely coordinated with stakeholders.
System, repository and deployment processes for dev and staging, with a new connection to the Azure infrastructure.
Atomic design component library and page templates for consistent, reusable page types.
News, events, media database and forms, including spam protection and email templates.
Research portal, contact directory and a completely rethought Course Finder with degree programme pages.
Automated translation workflow with DeepL in the backend, with full editorial control over quality and tone.
Clean URLs, separate sitemaps for DE and EN, structured data, pagination with canonicals and image optimisation.
The result
A relaunch that brings together design, technology and editorial content, making the THU website easy to maintain, scalable and visible.
