Challenge
Two years after upgrading TYPO3 to version 11.5, a comprehensive visual and structural facelift was initiated for the website www.aktion-deutschland-hilft.de.
We had a number of key objectives in mind for the TYPO3 web project: first and foremost, we wanted to modernise the TYPO3 website visually and give it a fresh, contemporary look. We placed particular emphasis on significantly improving user-friendliness – both for editors and website visitors. At the same time, it was important to consistently adapt the platform to the new brand identity in order to reflect the digital brand experience consistently at all levels. Our approach was rounded off by a comprehensive technical update of the TYPO3 website, which not only increases performance and efficiency, but also creates a sustainable basis for future developments.
Implementation
Visual optimisation
The three-level navigation (meta, main and partner navigation) has been fundamentally redesigned and now offers expanded editorial options. In addition, the main navigation now features sticky behaviour with an automatic logo change when scrolling. Partner logos are now displayed in greyscale and show their original colours when the mouse hovers over them. A compact two-line logo display has been developed for mobile views.
Technical development
But it wasn't just the user experience that was the focus of attention – the technical foundation was also thoroughly revamped. The consistent use of modern HTML5 tags gives the website a clearer, semantically structured basis.
Contemporary CSS techniques ensure faster loading times and noticeably improved code maintainability. Thanks to its fully responsive design, the site looks perfect on all devices and screen sizes. And by using SVG graphics, all logos appear razor sharp at all times – regardless of resolution or device.

An all-round impressive result
The comprehensive facelift gives the TYPO3 website a fresh, contemporary user interface and ensures a consistent, appealing look on all devices. Thanks to generous white space and a clear visual hierarchy, the most important content is brought into sharper focus, while overall readability is noticeably improved. The editorial team also benefits: new design options and expanded editorial possibilities make content maintenance and development significantly easier and more flexible.
Technically, the site is currently based on TYPO3 11.5 and uses modern HTML5 and CSS3 standards throughout, as well as scalable SVG graphics for all logos. A fully responsive design with well-thought-out breakpoints guarantees optimal usability – whether on a smartphone, tablet or desktop.
The next technological update is already planned: the upgrade to TYPO3 version 13 is already in the works and will soon make the platform even more future-proof.
Reality check?
Gladly.
