About the network
Wirtschaftsjunioren Deutschland, WJD for short, is the largest network of young businesses in Germany. The association addresses topics related to economic policy and society in order to assume responsibility for the future. bytepark supported the relaunch of the association’s network with consulting to design services, right through to technical implementation.
The objective
The new website is to strengthen WJD’s position and boost its visibility. In addition to improving administrative processes and the services offered to existing members, the website is designed to entice interested entrepreneurs to join the association.
The future solution will enable the iterative development of the website and the integration of additional platforms and services into the architectural landscape as needed.

Product development
In the first workshop, project goals were set, user needs considered and requirements for the UI/UX design identified. During the concept phase, the information architecture, user flows, navigation and the UX concept for the most important page types were determined. The design presented in the pitch was adapted.
In a technical workshop, the system architecture and the backend were designed. In addition, the content architecture was set up in Drupal to facilitate flexible and efficient editorial work.
Content Management System based on open source
wjd.de is based on Drupal which offers scalability, security and performance. It can be designed variably with extensive options for assigning roles and rights for editors. Numerous components were created for flexible editorial updating of the website, such as news and articles, sliders and video modules, image galleries, as well as survey and teaser modules and forms.
