Stadt Rosenheim

The overall appearance of the website and its elements was outdated and seemed that no visual and content updates had been done for many years. This should be changed now! But what would a good design be without a good user journey? First, we had to rethink the concept. So we developed a new navigation guide and decided together on a tile navigation, which focuses on the different areas of city life and should quickly provide relevant information to the citizens. Above all, a responsive, low-barrier presentation was important, in which we showed courage for spacing and larger fonts.

The integration of an efficient search function was a particular wish of the city, as the website is very expansive due to the many offices and departments. Because of its powerful search and faceting functions, as well as its smart handling of large amounts of data, Solr is a popular solution for us as a search engine. It allows content and documents to be found quickly using full-text search and filtering. It also offers comprehensive options for customising the relevance rating of search results.

The website serves as a central contact point to inform citizens about important matters, activities and services of the city and to make it easier for them to communicate with the administration. In addition, they should know about all locations of relevant contact points. An interactive map allows them to find them intuitively with the help of filters. This includes, for example, schools, public buildings, health facilities, parks and much more.
