Frisch im Netz: Flechtenkundliche Arbeitsgemeinschaft Nordwestdeutschland

2026-03-02T14:10:42+01:0002. March 2026|

Technischer Relaunch mit neuem Design – die Flechten AG ist modern aufgestellt

Die Flechtenkundliche Arbeitsgemeinschaft Nordwestdeutschland ist mit einem vollständig erneuerten Webauftritt online. Im Mittelpunkt des Projekts stand kein inhaltlicher Umbau, sondern ein klarer technischer Neustart – kombiniert mit einem zeitgemäßen, ruhigen Design, das die fachlichen Inhalte angemessen in Szene setzt.

Modernes Erscheinungsbild mit klarer Gestaltung

Die bisherige Website wurde gestalterisch komplett überarbeitet. Ziel war ein aufgeräumtes, sachliches Layout, das die wissenschaftlichen Inhalte übersichtlich präsentiert und zugleich einen modernen Eindruck vermittelt. Typografie, Abstände, Bilddarstellung und Farbwelt wurden neu definiert, um Lesbarkeit und Struktur deutlich zu verbessern – ohne den Charakter der Arbeitsgemeinschaft zu verändern.

Technisches Update auf aktuelle Standards

Die neue Website basiert auf WordPress und dem bewährten Avada-Theme. Damit ist die Seite technisch auf dem neuesten Stand, sicher, performant und langfristig wartbar. Alte Strukturen wurden sauber migriert, das System modern aufgesetzt und für zukünftige Erweiterungen vorbereitet.

Eigenständige Pflege von Terminen und Beiträgen

Ein wesentlicher Schritt war die Einführung eines benutzerfreundlichen Content-Management-Systems. Künftig können die Mitglieder der Arbeitsgemeinschaft aktuelle Beiträge und Termine selbst einstellen und verwalten. So bleibt die Website lebendig und aktuell – ohne Umwege.

Optimiert für alle Endgeräte

Selbstverständlich wurde der neue Auftritt vollständig responsiv umgesetzt. Inhalte passen sich flexibel an Smartphone, Tablet und Desktop an und bleiben jederzeit gut lesbar.

Es freut mich, die Flechtenkundliche Arbeitsgemeinschaft bei diesem technischen und gestalterischen Neustart begleitet zu haben. Die neue Website schafft eine solide Grundlage für die kommenden Jahre – klar im Design, stabil im System und offen für neue Inhalte.

Warum Websites nie wirklich fertig sind – und was das für Sie bedeutet

2025-10-15T13:43:51+02:0015. November 2025|

Eine gute Website endet nicht mit dem Launch. Sobald sie online ist, beginnt der Teil, der ihren Wert langfristig sichert: Pflege, Aktualisierung und gezielte Weiterentwicklung. Technik, Inhalte und Erwartungen der Nutzer verändern sich – eine Website bleibt nur dann überzeugend, wenn sie darauf reagiert.

Eine Website ist also kein einmaliges Produkt, sondern ein Werkzeug, das mit dem Unternehmen mitwächst. Wer Technik, Inhalte und Gestaltung im Blick behält, bleibt sichtbar, glaubwürdig und handlungsfähig. Der Klick auf „Veröffentlichen“ markiert deshalb nicht das Ende, sondern den Beginn einer erfolgreichen Online-Präsenz – und ich sorge gern dafür, dass sie langfristig performant, sicher und aktuell bleibt.

Eine gute Website endet nicht mit dem Launch. Sobald sie online ist, beginnt der Teil, der ihren Wert langfristig sichert: Pflege, Aktualisierung und gezielte Weiterentwicklung.

Ob technischer Check oder neue Inhalte: Ich halte Ihre Website auf Kurs – zuverlässig und mit Blick fürs Detail.

Fresh on the net: PURE Performance

2025-04-11T14:51:03+02:0010 April 2025|

PURE Performance is online - Athletics centre with a fresh web presence

After weeks of intensive planning, design and realisation, I am delighted to present the new PURE Performance website. It is now online and clearly shows what the athletics centre is all about: professionalism, dynamism and clear structures.

vh-crossmedia | Volker Heupel | References Webdesign

Sporty, clear design: The design of the website reflects the dynamism and performance orientation of the athletics centre. With clear lines, sporty aesthetics and a greatly reduced colour palette, the values and energy of PURE Performance are visually conveyed.

Optimised user guidance: A key objective was to provide visitors with quick and intuitive access to the most important content and offers. The structure of the website clearly guides visitors through the various training areas such as speedcourt, running training, strength training and mental coaching, supported by a user-friendly interface.

Mobile performance: Optimisation for mobile devices was particularly important. As athletes and sports enthusiasts are often on the move, the website adapts flexibly to all screen sizes and offers fast loading times and easy navigation even when on the move.

Integration of booking functions: Another important focus was the integration of a seamless connection to the Eversports booking platform, so that appointments and training programmes can be conveniently managed and booked online.

I wish the PURE Performance team every success and look forward to you taking a look at the new website.

Have fun exploring!

Fresh on the net: Job vacancies in the Peterhoff Group

2025-04-02T10:47:02+02:0002 April 2025|

New job platform for Peterhoff: modern, clear and user-friendly

A new page for the Peterhoff Group's job vacancies is online - and I was allowed to take over the technical realisation. The aim was to create a modern and well-structured platform on which all vacancies could be presented in a centralised, clear and attractive way.

The website was realised with WordPress, the powerful MyListing theme and the Elementor Pro page builder. The combination of these tools enables a flexible design and user-friendly handling - both for applicants and for maintaining the data in the backend.

vh-crossmedia | Volker Heupel | References Webdesign

A particular focus was placed on the clear presentation of the individual job offers and the ability to filter them specifically, for example by location and area of activity. This allows interested parties to find suitable jobs quickly and easily - whether as a cleaner, property manager or in administration.

I am delighted to have realised this project together with the Peterhoff team and wish the new platform many suitable applicants!

Fresh on the net: Municipality of Aremberg

2025-02-18T14:12:48+01:0018 February 2025|

The local community of Aremberg has a new digital home - a modern website that invites you to discover it.

The new website combines tradition and future: it not only provides interesting facts about village life, but also gives a comprehensive overview of important contact points, events and current developments. The focus was on clarity and a clear structure in order to provide all users with quick access to relevant information.

vh-crossmedia | Volker Heupel | References Webdesign

For this website, it was particularly important to me to create a design that reflects Aremberg's identity and at the same time offers clear, intuitive navigation. In addition to a uniform, appealing appearance, I developed a colour concept that supports user guidance on the subpages: Each section picks up its own colour combination so that visitors know where they are at all times.

But not only the design, but also the technical realisation posed special challenges. Extensive, customised programming was required in order to optimally implement the municipality's individual wishes. From specific functions for displaying important content to customised adjustments to the layout - the website was tailored to the municipality's needs down to the last detail.

The collaboration with the municipality of Aremberg was characterised by clear ideas and a productive exchange. I am delighted that I was able to create a platform with this website that not only provides information, but also conveys the special atmosphere of the place.

Fresh on the net: Vera Unland

2024-12-02T14:11:42+01:0002 December 2024|

It is with great pleasure that I present the new homepage of the artist Vera Unland. Thanks to an uncomplicated and fast realisation, a site has been created that puts Mrs Unland's works of art in the limelight in a special way and at the same time bears her personal signature.

The new website offers a comprehensive insight into Mrs Unland's artistic work. Visitors can explore an impressive Gallery The visitors can admire their works, supplemented by detailed information on the title, technique and dimensions. The home page invites visitors with an appealing slider, while the News" page space for news such as vernissages and new works. We also have our own "Sale" page enables interested parties to contact Mrs Unland directly to purchase works of art.

vh-crossmedia | Volker Heupel | References Webdesign

The focus of this project was to present Mrs Unland's work in an intuitive and aesthetically pleasing way. After an initial look at her impressive pictures, I developed a finished layout that Mrs Unland loved straight away. It was fascinating how much she trusted me with the design and how uncomplicated the whole process was.

Technically, the focus was on a responsive design so that the website could be displayed on Smartphones, tablets and desktops works equally well. I paid attention to intuitive navigation and gave Mrs Unland the opportunity to add content such as gallery images or the latest news herself.

The collaboration with Mrs Unland was characterised by mutual trust and a clear objective: to create a website that presents her works in the best possible way - and I think we succeeded.

Fresh on the net: Wildlife Aid North Eifel

2024-12-22T08:13:42+01:0022 October 2024|

I am very pleased to announce the successful completion of the website for the Wildlife Aid North Eifel to be able to announce the new platform. This new platform serves an important purpose: the rescue of injured or orphaned wild animals in the Eifel region. With clearly structured information, an easily accessible guide and quick contact options, the site offers everything needed to act correctly in emergency situations.

vh-crossmedia | Volker Heupel | References Webdesign

As web designers, we worked with my client to create a modern, streamlined and fast website that would optimally support the intended purpose. Optimisation for the mobile view was particularly important, as most people report injured animals while they are out and about and have their smartphone to hand. This allows them to access the information quickly and easily and get in touch with the right contact person.

In addition to the technical implementation, I was also able to design the logo and a small style guide that perfectly emphasises the philosophy of Wildtierhilfe: uncomplicated, trustworthy and targeted.

Working with Wildtierhilfe Nordeifel was a particular pleasure for me, as the topic of nature conservation is close to my heart. I am grateful that I was able to contribute my expertise to this important project and am delighted to be part of this valuable commitment.

Fresh on the net: Zehntscheune / North Gate Kronenburg

2024-09-06T15:41:06+02:0006 September 2024|

Experience the perfect combination of history and enjoyment in the Tithe barn and the North gate KronenburgNestled in the picturesque setting of the historic Kronenburg, these unique locations offer modern cuisine, regional Eifel specialities, fine distillates from the hotel's own distillery and a varied event programme. Whether culinary delights, cultural events or relaxed tours through the Eifel - there's something for everyone here.

When designing the website for the Zehntscheune and Nordtor Kronenburg, it was important to me as a web designer to skilfully unite the two unique worlds of experience while at the same time emphasising their individual characters. The efficient and focussed collaboration with the client enabled me to create a harmonious digital presence that perfectly reflects the historical atmosphere and culinary diversity of both locations. With a clear structure, striking design and user-friendly navigation, it was possible to bring the traditional hospitality of the Zehntscheune and the modern elegance of the Nordtor to life on a shared platform. The result is a website that takes visitors on a journey of discovery through the culinary worlds and cultural highlights of Kronenburg and unites and emphasises the special identity of both branches.
