In June 2024, web-vision took over the online project of Stadtwerke Düren with the aim of further expanding the TYPO3 and web expertise and fundamentally optimizing the existing website.
Immediate measures to improve loading time
As a first step, we carried out targeted optimizations that led to a significant improvement in the Google Web Core Vitals and the results in the Google Search Console. Google Pagespeed in particular benefited from these measures, which significantly improved the user experience on the website.
Focus on accessibility
Based on our advice, Stadtwerke Düren is implementing measures to comply with the Barrier-Free Strengthening Act (BFSG). This implementation will be completed by June 2025 at the latest in order to meet the legal requirements and provide all users with unrestricted access to the website.
Design and security optimizations
Further optimizations included a new, slimmer header area and the adaptation of fonts to ensure better readability and user guidance. In addition, we supported the implementation of a penetration test and implemented hardening measures to increase the security of the website.
Innovative forms with TYPO3
A particular highlight was the implementation of the new termination form, which was developed using the TYPO3 Core Form Framework. The form enables users to submit notices of termination independently and in a legally compliant manner, including PDF generation and GDPR-compliant processing of customer data.
