University Websites. Clearly Structured. Fully Accessible.
University websites need to meet a wide range of requirements. They serve prospective and current students, researchers, employees, and the general public. At the same time, they must represent complex organisational structures and support numerous editorial teams.
wiminno designs and develops high-performance university websites using TYPO3 and other content management systems. We combine strategic consulting, clear information architecture, user-centred design, and accessible technical implementation.

A University Website Needs More Than a CMS
We understand the specific challenges faced by universities: decentralised structures, numerous stakeholders, extensive content, and diverse target groups. That is why we do not treat university websites as purely technical projects.
Together with all relevant stakeholders, we create sustainable structures, intuitive user journeys, and editorial systems that work in everyday university life.
