At the beginning, our focus was on taking over and maintaining the existing website. Step by step, we worked together with LAS to further develop individual sections and continuously expand the site. The goal was to make LAS’s mission, work, and impact even more accessible to users—and to communicate complex topics such as “What is LAS Online compared to the on-site events?” more clearly.

Another key focus was accessibility: how can the inclusive approach that LAS already lives out in its physical events be consistently translated into the digital space?

Clear focus on user experience and accessibility in design

Building on the existing corporate design, we further developed the website both visually and structurally. The focus was on creating a clear user experience, improving accessibility, and strengthening the overall information architecture.

Discover & Visit pages: Diverse content, clear user guidance

The "Discover" section was designed as a versatile content area that brings together different formats and subpages—enhanced by a refreshed color scheme that provides orientation and visual variety.

The “Visit” pages were also comprehensively redesigned: optimized user flows make it easier to book tickets, while new audience-specific pages and well-structured overview and detail pages create an intuitive user experience.

Highlights in the Design Process

• Improved UI & UX through adjustments and further development of existing modules

• Enhanced accessibility with optimized contrasts, colors, and font sizes, as well as a high-contrast design version for users with corresponding settings

• Technical implementation of keyboard navigation for more accessible interaction

• Mobile optimization in terms of font sizes and usability

• Revision of the information architecture and navigation, with a particular focus on mobile use

Technology that adapts – with maximum maintainability

The website is built on a Next.js application with Sanity CMS in the background—modular, high-performing, and future-proof.
We relied on open-source technologies to ensure maximum flexibility and sustainability in ongoing development.

The focus was on:

• High performance and an optimal user experience across all devices

• Thoughtful optimization from desktop to mobile

• Consistent accessibility, even with visually complex components

• Improved technical maintainability through strict typing, package updates, and code restructuring

The result is a vibrant, accessible, and technically modern platform that makes the essence of LAS visible. Through close collaboration with the LAS team, a website was created that brings together openness, inclusion, and digital excellence.
