Introducing the New Website for the Internistische Gemeinschaftspraxis
We're thrilled to unveil the brand-new website for the German Internistische Gemeinschaftspraxis from Bad Saulgau who specializes in examination and treatment procedures from the entire field of internal medicine. The website was created with a focus on modernizing the online appearance of the clinic, with the upgraded UI and contact form being the biggest improvements over the old website, which last got updated in 2016.
Some of the main goals for this new page include:
- Upgrading the website's protocol from http to https to protect sensitive information sent between the user and the server
- Adding a contact form to allow for easier communication between the office and it's patients
- Making it easier to maintain the website
- Giving the almost 8-year-old page a much needed design overhaul
Designed for useability
A common trait of websites from the last decade is that, while they are certainly functional, editing and maintaining via their backend them has usually become a very rigorous task. The same goes for the front-end of the website. While functional, it's design might have aged poorly or the layout might not be up to modern standards.
A lot of attention thus went into modernizing the backend infrastructure along with the website itself. We chose Strapi as the Content Management System because of its clean UI and rich variety of content types and possible inputs. Strapi provides the additional benefit of being a headless CMS, which means that it acts purely as a content repository without generating any user-facing pages. This will allow for the front-end to be upgraded in the future, while the CMS itself can be carried over, meaning no data gets lost while migrating.
The user-facing side of things also received a new coat of paint to make it easier to navigate and use. The colors received a major overhaul and a fresh new palette based on the clinic's interior design, the navbar was updated to use up less space and the new page uses the full browser viewport.
See below for a comparison between the old and the new landing page.
Another noteworthy addition is the native mobile support, which the old page did not have. Now, instead of scaling everything down to fit a phone's screen, the website adapts automatically based on the viewport size, according to modern standards.
