Challenge

Creating harmony of Information, Emotions, and Conversions

The challenges in this project were multifaceted. Visitors often called on-site because the old website was unclearly structured, information couldn't be found, and users ended up in dead ends. Maintaining content and prices for the editors was also strenuous, and administrative efforts had to be reduced. Additionally, a flexible and tenant-capable design system was needed, usable by both the Salt Mine and the Old Saltworks. The challenge was to create a user-friendly website that perfectly balances emotion, information and conversion.
Solution

Revolutionizing Experience: Pimcore's Multitenant Solution and Cutting-Edge Features for Seamless Redesign

The implementation of the project was based on a Pimcore multi-tenant solution, proving to be an ideal foundation. With a centralized backend, editors can now manage all aspects. The website structure was completely overhauled, content rewritten, and the entire system rebuilt. An interface to Amepheas was integrated for the ticket shop, establishing a direct connection to on-site cash systems. In addition, innovative features were implemented, including a central FAQ section, a 3D tunnel map, and a sophisticated online ticketing system. Given the predominant use of mobile devices by visitors, a Mobile-First approach was chosen to ensure optimal mobile alignment. This approach ensures that user-friendliness and the visual experience for mobile devices are maximized. The project stands out through the integration of state-of-the-art technologies, providing a comprehensive solution that improves efficiency for editors and offers visitors a seamless and engaging experience.
