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.

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.

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

2026-04-28T14:17:51+02:0022 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

2026-04-04T15:05:38+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.
