Comprehensive FirstSpirit know-how

The extensive FirstSpirit know-how and the system-independent consulting expertise as well as the access to our diverse specialist network were powerful arguments with which we won the tender for the continued support of the website of the Cologne Municipal Waterworks (StEB Köln). The responsibility for hosting the website was transferred to our hosting experts, as we were able to guarantee the short-term takeover within the given deadlines.

How did we proceed?

  • Step 1

    After taking over the FirstSpirit CMS project, the experts' first task was to optimize the FirstSpirit version used in order to technically stabilize the StEB Cologne website. By installing updates, the security level was raised and the quality standard increased to the desired level.

  • Step 2

    We were also able to support the customer in the creation of various forms, thereby improving the usability of the website.

  • Step 3

    In order to keep the technology used up to date, we subsequently updated functionalities within the FirstSpirit version used. For example, response times and memory requirements of the StEB website were optimized by a mass re-import of the media files used, during which superfluous files and metadata were deleted.

  • Step 4

    After winning the tender for the development of a complete concept for the modernization of the company website www.steb-koeln.de as part of a strategic realignment, we created a comprehensive relaunch concept.

FirstSpirit takes StEB Cologne to a new level

In the course of a good and constructive cooperation, a significant improvement in security and an increase in quality standards was achieved in the FirstSpirit project of StEB Köln. In view of the outdated visual and technical status of the current website, a comprehensive relaunch is planned to modernize and optimize it in line with the times. This was taken into account in all activities and prepared by tidying up. Our comprehensive relaunch concept for the modernization of StEB Cologne's online presence not only takes into account technical and UX issues, but also specifically addresses the implementation of marketing goals to be achieved and the addressing of relevant target groups. The connection to the customer portal project was proactively considered so that the concept is scalable for the future. The implementation of the relaunch concept is in the tendering phase and is therefore still pending.
