Our experts share our know-how with you
What good is the best content management system if no one knows how to use it? And what good are the most versatile developer tools if no one knows how versatile they actually are? That's why we train you, your employees and anyone else who is interested in our workshops and share our expertise with you.
This will give you the opportunity to learn not only about the backend of TYPO3 or Shopware, the tricks of JavaScript applications such as Vue.js, or the possibilities of searching with Apache Solr for TYPO3, but also to get to know our best employees, all of whom are proven specialists in their field.
Incidentally, it is not only TYPO3 novices who benefit from our outstanding TYPO3 expertise, but also seasoned TYPO3 professionals. This is hardly surprising, given that our team includes numerous certified employees and the president of the TYPO3 Association, giving us a wealth of TYPO3 and Shopware expertise at our disposal. Our compact training courses provide you with a solid foundation for working with TYPO3 and Shopware.
Upon request, our experienced experts will put together individual course programmes for you and also provide in-house training tailored to your specific project.
Workshops & trainings
Our workshops and training courses aim to work intensively with you in small groups on a specific topic within a limited and compact time frame.
IA-Workshop
Good information architecture (IA) serves various information needs and takes into account all important elements of the information ecosystem – context, content and users.
- Aim of the workshop
To (re)organise/restructure the content of the website in a collaborative process.
- Typical procedure
The workshop usually begins with a 30-minute introduction to the topic. This introduction is intended to establish a common theoretical knowledge base and also to raise awareness of typical IA problems and possible solutions. The problem is usually described using examples based on screenshots of the customer's website.
This is followed by the practical part and thus the main part of the workshop: collaborative work on the website structure.
The content is evaluated according to various criteria (relevance), sorted and structured (classification). The sorting is done with analogue cards (card sorting), as these make the content of the website literally tangible and facilitate and promote collaborative work on the website structure.
Power:
- Preparation of the workshop by dkd
dkd takes care of preparing the workshop and creates all the materials required for its implementation on site. Preparation includes structural analysis of the current website or evaluation of the sitemap provided by the customer and preparation of the main levels in map form. The sitemap is also recorded in digital form and updated during the workshop or afterwards (see follow-up to the workshop). dkd also reviews comparable websites of competitors. - dkd accompanies the workshop (moderation)
dkd leads and accompanies the workshop. Whenever appropriate, dkd represents the user perspective in the workshop, points out possible technical restrictions and provides insights into practical applications. - Follow-up to the workshop by dkd (documentation)
The results of the workshop (usually a restructured IA) are made available in a digitally processable form after the workshop.
Costs:
- As the costs depend on the complexity of the website and the number of participants, we will be happy to provide you with a tailor-made quote.
Number of participants:
- Experience shows that smaller groups (up to 8 participants) achieve results more quickly.
Duration:
- The effort required to prepare the workshop depends primarily on the complexity of the site. As a rough initial guideline, 1.5 PT has proven to be a good estimate.
- The workshop itself usually lasts around 4 hours. A break should be planned.
- The follow-up to the workshop takes up another 0.5 PT.
Target group:
- Online marketing managers, online editors, website and portal managers
Requirements:
- The workshop typically takes place at the customer's premises, but can also be held via video conference or at dkd by arrangement.
- To ensure that the workshop can be carried out smoothly on site, the following should be available or provided by the customer (must-haves are in bold):
- Beamer
- Large table area (tables arranged in blocks, adapted to the number of participants)
- Wi-Fi guest access (if easily possible)
- Pinboard or additional storage space for printouts
- Flipchart or blackboard

It was also particularly interesting to learn how Solr works step by step and how you can test search terms directly in the core.“
