Website relaunch with TYPO3

In 2016 the corporate website of the United Internet AG was relaunched from scratch. Besides TYPO3, the responsive front-end framework Foundation 6 was used to deliver an optimal experience regardless of the user's device. Additionally the project was realized with Sass to make coding more flexible and faster.

As the central design element, squares play an important role within the corporate identity of United Internet. Therefore the whole website is based on a square grid and overlapping squares make the modular system look outstanding and dynamic.

Facts and figures

8 content templates with different arrangements of squares simplify the maintenance by the TYPO3 backend. At its launch the website had about 300 pages with more than 1500 content elements. All in all this project shows once again that TYPO3 is very powerful, extremely flexible, highly scalable and 100 % reliable.

Therefore not only United Internet itself, but also its subsidiaries like the 1&1 Internet SE trust in TYPO3 and the web agency igroup Internetagentur, which acts in an advisory capacity and implements TYPO3 projects partly even on the spot at 1&1.
